again..... I feel angry as my competitor got higher score than me....
but somehow there is a feeling of loneliness..... because that bastard cheena girl somehow rallied everyone against me..... hmph..... of course at that point of time i went with the flow....

hahahah its really dangerous... but, haha luckily i am able to focus again.... its somehow like a burst of confidence suddenly appeared....

To the cheena girl.... if you want a total war.... fine i will give it to you.... 2 weeks time....(more than enough) I'm going to terminate you once and for all in order to shut you up forever....especially that sickening smile of yours.... Let me tell you once more...... be prepared to face my wrath....... because I will not repeat the same mistakes as in CJ.

2010-08-11T04:45:00.002+08:00

This is my last chance... in 2 weeks time it will happen..... I will not lose to them, i will not repeat the same mistakes for my As anymore..... God, please bless me as i give it all my best

Today, I have gone through the similar experience few months ago… about the Blackberry with F words… However, these kind of people are not only confined to a building, but rather they can roam around freely.

I went to Sony roadshow @ Ion orchard. I was looking for a handycam, but I was surprised by the salesman. When I enquire him more about the product, he told me sternly“ You please don’t look for details here… go else where to find it…. Go internet find the details !!!” Yup, he got me.. I let my guard down, because I always assume that these kind of ‘unfriendly’ salesman is only confined at ‘that’ place only. But assumption does kill the cat doesn’t it… haha
So what I do with him, I do not complain to his boss….neither did I ‘fight’ him. I just smiled at him, said thank you and walked away… It’s a skill I just learned recently from anime… to mask your emotion with a smile, while at the same time unleashing your demonic aura … Yup the demonic aura I emitted is,that may he meet the ‘bigger fish’ which is going to finish him off soon
But lets analyse the matter here, it seems that some of the kids nowadays who part-timed as Salesperson, lacked passion. They have the mindset that once customer enquires about the product, they will buy that immediately. They have failed to see that everyone have different purchasing power. Asians and Westerners are different. Most Western people usually have higher purchasing power, so they will purchase after enquiring about the product. Most Asians, on the other hand will enquire and keep enquiring for a period of time which then may even resulted in them not buying at all. Thus is the reason why the people at that so called ‘computer paradise’ will tell off Asian customers, but the moment they see Angmoh in business suit, they will be like a “dog waving its tail. “
Whatever…., its no use to tell the “generation ME” nowadays, they just simply won’t listen.

Language is a tool of communication that is used for communication. It perhaps is even more powerful than Nuclear bomb as it can be used by almost everyone... one need not be from royal bloodlines or rich people to be able to use it in daily lives. The impact it can cause can yield magneficient result, just like the world currently using English as international languge that saw lots of connection between people.

Let me share my experience on how powerful language is... There was a time when i was at Hawker centre in hill where i sat in front of Malay Couple. At first they were speaking in english about their relationship matters. Then, when they noticed my presence opposite them, they switched to Malay !!! Haha guess what it is of no avail, because i could still understand...

There are a few stall at redhill that i have so called "black-listed", one of them involve language. This incident happenned because i sat in the table, in front of the stall without buying their goods. At that time, the two stall owners also occupied the same table as me since they yet to have customer. Then they said in Mandarin something which i could not understand. After a while, then they switched to Hokkien dialect( probably thinking that i was able to intercept their mandarin). Unfortunately for them, the latter seem to backfire on them. I could understand what they are saying... everything !!! muhahahaha....
They were complaining about me sitting in front of their stall, in terms of criticising my outfit - since i dressed too casually(oversized T-shirt + Cotton shorts). Since that time, i never bought anything from their stall anymore...But the point that i'm trying to emphasize here is that language is a useful tool in life.

During this holiday, my plan is to continue learning Japanese language and unexpectedly Mandarin. In the past i used to hate Mandarin to the max since i don't understand the language at all. The dis-interest in the past was also contributed by the aunty and uncle who said " You're a chinese , how come you don't speak mandarin" This kind of sentence is a major turn-off to potential learner of a language, as it sounds like the speaker is mocking the listener.

Language is afterall a useful asset, mastery of a language will lead to communication which then leads on to understanding. I wished i could have realised this earlier, but even so it is still a good thing, as at least it showed that i have reached a level of critical thinking. Take a look at my post when i first started this blog- i simply vent off my emotion without doing any thinking beforehand....

"To be chivalrous... its to be able to protect the weak, vanguishing the strong. However.. these things only happen in movies. in reality you can't even make a living by being chivalrous..."

These are the opening words of the japanese drama Ninkyo Helper... its actually a drama about Yakuza who are posted to work at old folks home for their training...However through out their training, they began to become show symphathy towards the elderly....
If an old people have memory loss, its not called senile.... its DEMENTIA !!!

There are many events that really cause us to reflect;
would you abandon your parents for the success in your job?
If your parents suffer from Alzheimer disease( memory loss) , would you still want to take care of them?

These questions are important to us, for that we live in a continent called ASIA- one where filial piety is still being uphold high.

Bah, this holiday i have just experienced what it is like to face the traffic police. Yah, i was riding Honda .... when i saw the traffic light just turned green from a distance, i speed up...

40km/h....
45.....
50.....
55..........
60.....
65......
70...

Yah by the time the speed-meter reached 70km/h, the whole motorcycle handle vibrated....probably because it is not designed to run at high speed despite on the speedometer showed that it can reached up to 100++km/h.

Back to the story again... so when i speed up and reached the zebra cross..... the traffic light suddenly become yellow and i couldn't brake on time, because Motorcycle brake will require quite a distance in order to stop at such a speed.... So... i just breakthrough it.... since there are no zebra crossing on the zebra cross as well....

But then from a far, suddenly a traffic police jumped out of nowhere and acted as if he is shouting " SURPRISE!!!" ya he stood in front of my way and put his hand infront, just like how a superman trying to stop a chunk of mass coming at him.
Of course this 'superman' can stop it, because i pressed both the brake on the handle and on the right feet such that the bike screeched and just make a soft contact with his palm...otherwise he would experience inelastic collision and fly with at least half the KE !!!!!!

Yah of course in the end i got fined....plus he shouted at me angrily....saying that my brake is loose....its quite traumatic to experience traffic incident for the first time....

Blackberry...with F-word

2009-06-04T06:06:00.002+08:00

yo! yesterday was the day i really found the fact. Yah yesterday,my uncle asked me to search out the price of blackberry... yah at first i thought he mean this:

Then i asked him that isn't that its perishable? you know its...fruits...
Then on the phone, he said huh? its the square-square shaped thingy... then i understand what he wanted... its this four sided thingy that has 2 line of symmetry:

Yah, so i set off to Sim lim square to track out the best deal in there... 800, 820, 830,815,780... aha ! 780 . The shop was at the first floor, between the myriad of other handphone shop... Trust me.. its hard to ask these shop owner for the price as a student... they replied you unwillingly.....

Then there is one store owner, who offered me special price of 830 with gst, with before the additional discount of $834.60... yah, so after i reconfirmed with my uncle, i went back to his shop to make the last check.... It was then instead of him wanting to serve me, the other shop attendant, with big muscles told him off and he attend to me....

He asked. " what you want?" in a very AH-Beng style...
Then i replied, " i want this, pointing at one of the phone.... "
" Money first...i take the good for you" He said with a stern voice...
" Good come first.... i check ok then i pay you" i replied him with the same tone

Then he unwillingly walked off... at first actually they promised me that they have the goods in their store, but i saw this "ah-beng" walked off to another store to get the goods...

When he came back, he put the square square black box infront of me and said nah, see!
The first fact that he 'take' goods from other store has made me suspect of the quality. you know, there are actually a lot of complaint from people that taking goods from other shop has the risk of 2nd hand goods. This is because, you know Sim Lim people are expert in I.T. They can happily adjust the things to the extent that will fool the eyes of the people.

Second fact is that the box is also quite old, got a lot of scratches..

He then asked me, so Ok? " you have another one? this one the box looked quite damaged" i asked him.

"No dun have anymore, so you buying?" he asked
" No, this one is not in good quality" i replied him

This is the word that he launched at me.....
He said " F@$% you, waste my time.."
"Your goods not in good quality so i dont want buy lor..." i said to him

Yah now i am really certain.. only to buy computer stuffs only in Sim Lim... no others.
But its really contradicting... In Sim Lim they have the Star Assurance thingy that covers only the level 1 shops. One of the pledge is " TO BE POLITE...."
Contradicting to the max !!! hahahahaha... what an adventure.....

Letter to the future.

2009-06-02T16:32:00.003+08:00

I've sent the letter this morning, to try my chance of getting that utopia. Chances are unknown, but still its worth the try. Man, the post office system is somehow complicated....one question that raised my eyebrows are," do you want to track down your letter?" Huh? track down letter, GPS system? haha its actually just give a code-number to your letter. But its not purchasing insurance for your letter...which i thought it was so ,at first....

Back to me....
I've got the info that dark clouds are coming... my aunty's aunties-in-law's family. The total number of 'battalion' that are coming,are capable of causing quite a significant destruction. The impact is coming pretty soon.... the moment they touchdown and stepped into the house.

Probabilty of winning the counter-attack =0%
probability of successful defence= 10%
Probability of being able to dodge the attacks=1000%

Ya, its obvious which one will i choose... I've currently working on the precautionary measure; keeping all things-related-to-me withim my room and sealing it with a spell... Not just a regular spell, but that one that will make my things 'camouflaged' and undetectable... Luckily my cousin from NUS coming over to stay during the 'holy-day'.He can occupy my room to prevent access to the non camouflageable things.... but still... the damage, there will be....

あたらしいほんのとも

a taken away miracle

2009-05-02T21:01:00.002+08:00

Why ???? why do this thing has to happen again.... always.... always whenever i am about to get something, it will be taken away by another people....and despair bestowed upon me...

in secondary school;
-The almost-complete project was stolen by that guy
-Top position in XXX subject was taken away by him
-the EXCO position in CCA are given to another person due to his ability to sweet-talk to the teacher.

and yesterday event reminds me of these unfortunate events; yes i know, i have to admit defeat for Malay that i am not as good as him ; but basically its due to my recklessness...(over confident)

Even so, feeling remorse over these things are useless, it will only cause more damage to me....
I have decided to throw the final chip away... that is the internet... yah, i managed to halt my anime addiction, but instead i fall into another trap - FACEBOOK... and its even worse, for that facebook can be accessed even with slow internet connection...

Its time to move forward...and try to confront the A level with quantum brain!!!

2009-04-03T20:32:00.005+08:00

My on-list anime has finally ended:

Gundam 00

Toradora

Clannad ~after story~

Zoku natsume yuujinchou

aLL of these anime set me thinking... about me, others and this world....

Toradora, the anime that i liked the most. In fact Roy and khittisun do like it. This anime is about school life. relationship between a guy who was feared by his peers because of his looks, and a girl who is short and is ferocious , nicknamed " Palmtop tiger". Its fun...

Quantum, the latest topic that i found interest in it. From my research this past few days, i found out that quantum actually controls our consciousness.... and my theory is that if this consciousness is resonated together with reflexes, that human will be perfect.... for that he is able to predict an event before it actually happenned....

I have decided to put a halt on anime temporarily... i wanted to find happiness with my own hand. This happiness can only be obtained through achievement...

My thought

Everytime....
I always imagine that i am a child soldier in the Middle East, fighting against the invader that tries 'brainwash' us. Armed with only an AK-47 i dashed across the ruins... There are those who fight alongside me, but as time goes on, one by one of them fell .There are other international parties that offered to help, but still they may be the puppet of the invader. The invader are equipped with the most advanced technologies... but still... i always recalled one thing;

My leader always said that i am running away from battles. I'm running away because i am afraid, afraid to pull the trigger for that it will hurt others... but.... few days ago i met that person... she gave me a new weapon that i have never seen before. It is not sharp but it does somehow cast away my weak heart which strengthen my confidence to fight. Therefore I'll continue to fight... nothing has changed... this is not the future that i have desired....

Toradora

2009-03-28T00:34:00.001+08:00

There’s something in this world that no one has seen before.
It is gentle and sweet.
Maybe if it could be seen, everyone would fight over it.
That’s why no one has ever seen it.
The world hid it so that no one could get their hands on it easily.
However, someday, someone will find it.
The person who deserves it the most will definitely find it.
This is how it’s created

Monbukagakushou

2009-02-14T12:51:00.003+08:00

The time has come... this year is the Monbukagakushou year for me... its the most crucial time, to determine whether that dream can be fulfilled or not. There are people waiting for me there, one is my old childhood friend, the other is my senpai* - one who was ahead of me and managed to use that 'bridge'.

I have already been handicapped last year by the " two alphabet" which is blocking my future pathway. Anyway its no use complaining as there nothing will change.

But, as long as possibility is not 0%, there is still chance .

Monbukagakushou, my only chance....to change everything...

2009-01-16T23:19:00.006+08:00

When i am in medan, mostly is just staying at home to help out my parents. Well during my holiday i have to hide my identity when inquired about my education info. I'll just say i study in local school. Reasons being that studying overseas is quite rare cases here and this is to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Hehe
oh ya during holiday, i also went to feet of Sibayak Volcano to try the hot spring there... the water is boiling hot, the cold wind is blowing... hot and cold mixture ^.^ its relaxing.

sibayak volcano

Aqua factory

(this is one of the factory that produces the mineral water)

then there is a famous temple always visited by most medan people whenever they come to brastagi.

main hall

cute statue

well aside from that, this holiday is also the first time whereby most of the time when i went around the city, i upgraded into motorcycle. And of course for the first time i got stopped by a traffic police for driving at 10km/h. Since that day, i began to increase speed to 30 - 40 km/h maximum speed i have ever reached is 60km/h but it is dangerous to drive at that speed in the city... plus, the whole motorcycle will be vibrating quickly at that speed.

This holiday i also found someone who has managed to achieve what i have long really wanted. She is my senpai*(senior) and i hope to be able to emulate her.

Holiday over

2009-01-16T23:00:00.004+08:00

After a year long.... finally i am home.

2008-11-07T22:06:00.004+08:00

another Fairprice incident again. I thought the evening will be a good time for me, as i was sms-ing away with my malaysian friend. Everything was fun... until.... when i was about to pay for the groceries...

enjoying the chit-chatting

An aunty approached me and said " ni she wo ho mian de" which means you are behind me... yes she was accusing me that i cut her queue... cut queue?? the fact is that i do not even see her face on the long queue....

Seed Mode

Amazingly i managed to enter my " Seed Mode".... i raised my voice at her.. shouting that "i am following the queue"..... she stunned for a while. Not until the cashier suggested to me to relent to her, as she only bought a few stuffs. Yah so let her go first, but in my mind i was quite satisfied of my achievement... i am no longer a weaklings.... hahaha

This event happen at Fairprice Junction 8, at about 9pm, counter 11 Ironically this kind of unfortunate event always happen at Fairprice. Gotta be on my highest alert whenever i am at Fairprice from now on... And of course i shall continue to refrain from using vulgarities like the 1/4 fish and 3/4 duck as it is childish.

2008-11-06T00:17:00.002+08:00

I am wondering that good person can also turn bad. This is because today I stumbled across my old friend's blog.I was so surprised because that person changed from a top student to some beer-drinking adolescent. Scary doesn't it... not mentioning that person keep on scolding 1/4 Fish and 3/4 Duck in the post(Magnificient,isn't it?) From what i know before ,this person is a well-mannered person, but something must have happened in the past 4 years that somehow 'corrupt' the mind. Scary isn't it...

2008-11-03T23:12:00.003+08:00

Hmph i see... if you ever goes against the will of another person, he will make life miserable for you. But is this revenge appropriate at all in the first place? he, who have higher authority than you will basically just use his status to press on you just because you don't do as what he commanded you to do... furthermore this illogical act is the same as trying to start a war with you... Anyway those who dare to pull the trigger, should also be ready to receive the blow as well. Hahahaha this is really interesting doesn't it....

This is what we called life on earth today, no matter how "Pure" and religious the person is, hatred will never be seperated from them. Selfishness, materialistic desire, Loathe will always goes round them just like electrons orbitting around a nucleus.

Haha, looks like i'm too serious here... but yes this is what i am thinking right now...

I am also unable to somehow 'repay' the help that was given by one of the teacher,he helped to free me from clutches of that monster. Yes, monster from few months ago... the monster that demanded me to stick with my life,even if i am not suitable with it.....Whenever i tried to get its understanding, it always replied me with the famous M1 Quote " ONE LIFE LIVE IT".... Learn to adapt? but i am not an experiment subject...furthermore time was already running short. If i were to follow the order blindly that day, i would now be in agony over my results....
Those were dark times.... the case looked as if it can never be closed....countless number of times i were invited to have a cup of tea with the chosen one... It was then this man appeared before me... Holding a bazooka, he blasted the monster away... i was really grateful to him.... but still i am unable to sort of 'repaying' him in this exam, but i will continue to give back my gratitude :)

2008-10-11T18:47:00.002+08:00

"What's the point of spending your time with anime?You could have go out somewhere "

Yup this is the statement that my friend told me 2 days ago. But this statement seemed useless to me. I also cannot understand myself, whenever i see people only a certain times i smile at them... the rest of the time i just walked pass them expressionlessly....

Perhaps this is my character and it takes quite sometime to change it, and about giving up on anime.... I cannot do that. Because it is something that give me the courage apart from my parents.... My contact with anime was revived by my secondary 3 classmates, Danial Mirza Razzy bin Abdul Razak... at that time, i was still a maplestory dude.... but then as i watched anime i noticed something.... that it actually has a hidden meaning behind some shows...and it is a good lesson to learn from, aligned with our ASIAN Tradition.(JAP is an Asian country)

That is then how i started my journey to become an otaku....Along the journey i met another person that share the same interest... Chew Teck Ann from CJC 1T15. Of course it is great.... and at the same time Anime seem to act like a pact with others... Pact to preserve your friendship , to retain your tradition and of course to be always be ready to face tommorrow.

2008-10-10T15:14:00.002+08:00

Exam's over haha.... finally its anime time !!!! woohoo....
Maybe i should refrain from doing a marathon.... else gonna spoil my eyes....
Need a balance...... anyway planning to reconnect with japanese language again.....

2008-09-27T23:03:00.004+08:00

i will be missing 2 great things.... last episode of code geass r2 and the 1st episode of Gundam 00 season 2 ... its all for the sake of promo !!!! its just two weeks... two weeks of despair... BANZAI !!!

2008-09-09T19:47:00.002+08:00

i can see the enemy is coming... the challenges.... and this time it will not be the same as 3 months ago ...
i have a reason to fight and i have my very own custom weapon.

2008-08-30T20:58:00.002+08:00

KINDNESS MAY HARM YOU INSTEAD yes it is indeed true, yesterday i was at Tiong bahru's fairprice, getting all my household supplies, since i was buying detergents, cleaning stuffs and foods, the amount topped up to $ 43. When i was heading towards the cashier while carrying the heavy basket, an aunty stopped me. She asked me whether i have NTUC card... i said no... then she suggested something like " lang fei" which means "waste in chinese" . yah she's talking about the link points and asked me to use her NTUC card so that she will earn the points. She keep stressing - you will not be at loss one. and out of my kindness i agreed.

The point i'm trying to make here is that i am too kind somehow... this aunty is ungrateful bastard... no "thank you" come out from her mouth and furthermore, she's so greedy to try to take the "points receipt"-you know this point receipt from NTUC will allow you to purchase the " made in germany antique" utensils that only requires you to pay additional $5 after a specific number has been collected. This is exactly the same as the Malay proverbs describe it " LIKE THE DUTCH ASKING FOR LAND" which means give a bit , wants more ... give more wants everything !!!!

I am indeed lucky that this is just scamming... with me not gaining nor losing at all. But if this is a serious case, take for example hypnotise or this aunty suddenly accused me for stoling her NTUC card; i would have lost out isn't it? Furthermore i swear now... that i will not go out unnecessarily in my school Uniform - it sucks you know, because you can't get into serious arguement with an anyone. In singapore so far i observed, any public who are irritated by students of certain school will play cheat by complaining to the school even if they are at fault, they will sound as if they are very innocent.

I know that i am the type who's unable to get into an fight, nor to see anyone suffering because i'm brought up that way. But i know i need to change this....in our world today scamming exists in many form, and a completely "holy" person is going to bow before those who are expert at cheating. This is the part of the society that i hated the most, cheating is present widely but its not a seen as a crime. Since i came to singapore, i've been cheated a lot of times - be it by the tamil money changer uncle who charged me higher exchange rates , Sim lim square shop that lied to me that the MP4 player is made by s'pore polytechnic student where as the truth is that it's made in china. and many more... what a terrible life it is... but its an experience doesn't it... haha... wonderful just wonderful... this is what we called mind game... and a freaky world muhahahahhaa....

2008-08-27T21:37:00.002+08:00

The final battle is near... haha looks like i have to stop thinking about next year and concentrate on the present days. Need to clear this year before advancing into my next plan... hehe..

World End - Flow

2008-08-23T21:25:00.002+08:00

WORLD END
Vocals: FLOW
Lyrics: Asakawa Koshi & Hayashi Keigo
Composition: Asakawa Takeshi
Arrangement: FLOW & Tsutaya Koichi

The light that was born at the world’s end is now in the wind

I can’t live just by whitewashing
I can’t heal just by kindness

What was stolen?
In an unchanging world
What did I hear?
A colorful song

Everything is bright

So to let shattered dreams echo to the edge of tomorrow
Light was born at the world’s end; we become one
Now in the wind

I can’t laugh like it’s someone else’s business
I can’t wipe it away just with loneliness

What was won?
At the end of the fighting
What did I hear?
A sad shout

Everything is crying

So to let shattered dreams echo to the edge of tomorrow
Light was born at the world’s end; we become one
Now in the wind

Don’t let anyone cry; return to your filled heart
Overcome just about everything already

So to let the sky that I saw back then reach ahead of my wishes
In the morning that creates the world’s beginning, we’re pure white
Now we become the wind

2008-08-22T22:28:00.003+08:00

sometimes i when i do something, a few old memories came into my mind... its like the sudden random glance of the past... i don't really know why, but its just that it keeps happening to me... why??? the answer probably lies somewhere....

a storm is imminent, need to brace for impact ! I am not going to screw it this time...

Friends

2008-08-22T22:04:00.002+08:00

sometimes i am just wondering... of all the friends that we made, are all of them everlasting? i don't think so... Initially i thought school environment would made a difference in the friendship bond, and i used to thought that in CJC the friendship bond can continue to expand-since everyone used only one language, english. But sadly it is not the case... I was in CJC for two intakes, and to roughly estimate, there should be around 30 acquaintances that i have met through the IG. unfortunately only a few remained in contact.

My observation
The girls are usually more friendly, however once they have found their boyfriend, we should start to forget all the moments we had spent together, because she will usually starting to ignore you...

The boys are usually more ignorant,probably they are 'less interested' in dealing with those of the same sex,you know its every boys dream to be able to speak to the opposite gender and to get to know them better. However, boys are usually more arrogant, once you are no longer involved in same activities as he is, he will purposely forget you.. my experiences is that when i was with one of my IG friend(a girl) , we met this IG friend(a boy) , we said hi to him, but he only responded to the girl, ignoring my presence, what a pathetic creature he is... too proud of himself....

My IG mates are now shrinking one by one.... probably because i rarely logged online.. but on the other hand, they might have acquired their sense of pride....

So, from IG orientation, i learnt that some people have the sense of pride... too proud of themselves that they forgot about you, probably on purpose.

2008-08-16T23:39:00.003+08:00

lately i have been thinking alot,about how cruel this world is. Yesterday as i was on my way back from redhill hawker centre, i was enjoying the evening breeze. Not until the loud bang sound slashed through the peaceful evening... From a distance i saw a man with a rifle. he was smiling as he held his rifle with pride, as i walked pass, i saw plenty of crows corpse. Horrible.... pretty horrible, why do they have to kill these creatures? moreover, he's legal killer ( he put the sign " CROW CULLING IN PROCESS"). Furthermore, it was only last week in which he carried out the same operation. These crows may post noise problem, but on the other hand by ending their lives isn't thats just too wrong? These Crows may still have its children to feed... if these crows are gone, what will happen to its children? They will of course die gradually...tortured indirectly....the worst thing of all. Perhaps human does not really understand.....oh well retribution will come surely...from the soul of the dead....

Sometimes i also feel this world is a horrible place to live in. Anger, jealously, hatred, revenge are terms that are associated with human beings.These irritating things are the reason why human are unable to get along together... When there's loathe, it will lead to killing - then revenge will kicks in and yup revenge and revenge again....an endless chain of madness.... Everyone in this earth will surely have these things, even the most "pure" person on this earth. Of course there may have been some 'special' human,in which so far i have only seen one... the one with absolute zero anger and hatred... what an honour to be able to meet such a person...

Sometimes i just really hope what happens in Anime will come true, such as in GUNDAM 00, whereby there will be a private military organisation that strives to unite the world, creating a world whereby everyone is able to get along with each other and eradication those who hold on to the belief of protecting people with special status; such as POWER, RELIGION, RACE....
If it existed it would be great doesn't it.. hehe

Watched new anime- Natsume Yuujinchou.

Natsume Takashi has the ability to see spirits, which he has long kept secret. However, once he inherits a strange book that belonged to his deceased grandmother, Reiko, he discovers the reason why spirits surround him. Containing the names of these spirits, a binding contract was formed between the spirits and the owner of the book. Now, Natsume is determined to free the spirits and dissolve the contracts. With the help of a spirit cat, his days are filled trying to return the names to these spirits.

This is a very touching anime,yet teaches us something useful in life;
also i learnt that in every small shrine, there is a god. This god will disappear if people no longer visited the shrine.

2008-08-02T21:39:00.001+08:00

troublesome.... in just one day i have been prescribed with loads and loads of pills... phew... no choice,because i'm ill. But i feel like a person suffering from grave illnesses...

2008-07-15T21:50:00.002+08:00

Even if i fall, i will get up again on my own....because after all i want to be like a dharma doll.
Hmph finally i found the reason.... the reason to fight once more.... its basically anger....hatred towards that someone.... That person is a complete stranger... and really pissed me off that day....

Yes its time... for the second rebellion to begin again.....

2008-06-29T11:33:00.003+08:00

i feel that i can see the world's evil.... a thing that disallow you to get anything to be done perfectly.... it seems that there is something that is hindering me, blocking the path that i wanted to walk..... problems by problems keep on surfacing, dealing with them can be time consuming.... distraction is the negative effects of this....

perhaps there is no other choice.... the only way to remove the irritating things is just to blow them up.... destroy them, eliminate them and make them feel as if they are just pathetic dogs.... Something has to be done .....

2008-06-28T12:55:00.003+08:00

Rebellion was a failure, pride has been lost..... humiliation will be expected.

よかったあなたたちは大丈夫です

2008-06-17T18:27:00.004+08:00

phew yokatta...... i'm really relieved to receive the reply.... after 2 days !!!! haha ..... shirotori family said they are ok, and around there, no people are injured.... i'm really relieved to hear that..... hehe

Japan earthquake

2008-06-15T23:01:00.004+08:00

picture of damage at uguisuzawa district(near the host family house)

affected places at kurikoma

- the picture of inn that collapsed-

-kurihara people are very skilled craftman for pottery, look at what earthquake did to them, unforgiveable !!!-

i was quite shocked when i read strait times headlines today- Quake kills 6 in northern Japan... the places affected are iwata & miyagi prefecture....one of the places in these prefecture are" KURIHARA" . it says that about 29000 houses' power were cut off... its really a sad news, i hope that shirotori family and the Japanese there are just fine, and for those affected i hope they can get well soon....my wish is for that such earthquake will not occur again, the moment earthquake happens,the lives of people affected by it are hanging in balance- especially those who live near the mountainous area....

PLEASE BE SAFE: SHIROTORI's family

ITS REALLY SAD

Compare this

-the reporter gathering information recently-

with

our trip last year june 2007

2008-06-09T22:40:00.002+08:00

The EMERGENCY signal has been put up.... yup it only applies to me. I've just received information that tomorrow, i will have an unwelcomed visitor. This visitor is actually my aunty's distant relative.... so distant that i do not know how this person acts... but safely guaranteed, it'll be hell of a time for me, as this guy will be staying with me for at least one month..... huh... what sucks is that i am not allowed split the PUB bill ....wth, it will surely be a huge blow to me - you know, when you stay in a hotel would you be considerate as to switch off the appliances? of course NOT! ~ same scenario here, what if he stays without giving a damn about the bill,would he actually be conscious of the appliances that he use?

Probably not

what a burden.... an unknown....

anyway, since i still have not met the person yet,i can't really judge him yet... And haha, i've prepared a series of test,to allow me to see what kind of person this is... hehe and yup i shall keep my camera ready to gather evidences just in case i needed them to prove my innocence, cause you know, temporary visitors are usually the main cause of destruction to the furniture and appliances in the house- they'll just simply stay and leave without any initiative to clean up the place.... then when things are destroyed then all the fingers will point at me.... hahaha but this time i will not allow such things to happen, i'll make sure that if he's the cause, he'd be prosecuted no matter what !!! even if it resorted to means of violence...

2008-06-06T22:41:00.000+08:00

Ltc 2008
LTC has been the best camp that I ever had In my life. It’s like looking at life at different perspective and to see the great power that is hidden beneath teamwork. Haha perhaps its because the group of people who were chosen for the camp is the CHOSEN GROUP- means the better personality
My group is the HTC group and hahaa…. I’m thinking about the inter- HTC discussion… lolz hahaha!!!
AS ONE members:
-Nicholas cheang
-Nicholas lee
-Nicholas tham
-Valerie
-Audrey
-Deborah
-Katrina
-Kelvin
-Bryan
-Me
-Geovenn( j2 facil)
-Priscilla( jc 3 facil)

Day 1
Gathered at CJC, gathered at the auditorium extension,STONING !!! after a few familiar faces came, chit some chat….then played some bonding games….went through workshop….and yup hahaha finally boarded the bus to leave for Dairy farm…
Checked in our bunks, changed into PE attire… have lunch…. Then clean up the whole canteen as we got the forfeit during the bonding games…. And yup our 1st activity …… Problem solving at quarry……. Our group name: AS ONE ‘s first test- on how to work as a team to transfer pingpong ball over to another pail by pulling string tied on to another pail…. Yup it was difficult at first, as we had no idea, the few balls that could go inside its because of luck… 14 minutes+++ our first timing…but then we requested for another try… yup guess what??? 5 minutes ++++ and our score was the highest 19/20 !!!
Next game , blindfold game- whereby everyone was blindfolded except one who will be directing us through the obstacles…yup we did it pretty well….
Next game, the” poison river”- unfortunately we did not win but still hahaha…. Its was fun to work as a team…. Must be thankful to ODAC girl….Deborah… For not minding the pair of shoes to get dirty…
Caterpillar- hahaha its really hard … the wind blew…. Balloon flew landed on ‘sharp’ grasses and POOP !!! hahaha…. But still we’re able to complete it….
Number games….. worked pretty well…. Teamwork….. yeah….. support each other……
Tug-of-war wow pretty cool strategy… teamwork….yeah !!!
Then dinner came and yup ate…… Reflection….. and lights out!!!
Oh ya, today also we get to know each other……know each others name, forge friendship…..- able to observe each others….. and our goal for tomorrow….to be able to come out with a Cheer….

DAY 2
Woke up early in the morning…. Yup shower….. have breakfast…..then the most interesting game…. WARGH game….. Holding each laser guns in hands and yup haha battle…. Even though we did not win but we put up a good fight…. Our teamwork also strengthened by then…. I felt that my group can work better among ourselves than combining with others, because in order to do work together, we need to understand each other 1st….. and yah… the climax is when the Green hooded guy emerged into the scene and killing quite a number of the enemy hahahaha… .some referred him as HOBBIT !!!!
-LUNCH-
Then high element… was really touched by the group reaction…. Because they went that far just to get me a chance to try…. Because I was supposedly to miss my chance already, because the time limit was up….. at that time I was really disappointed- its just like in my sec 3 camp, whereby when its my turn, they said “ TIME’S up”. I thought things will be the same but…. Its not…… They went the extra mile to ask the instructor to let me to have a chance to climb the pole(how caring they are)…. Seeing that I was really really touched…. To the extent that I’m like entering some kind of special mode- I was afraid of heights,but during the second game onwards, I can cleared the height obstacle without any problem…. I was surprised too…. But this is actually also because of the cheering of the teammates- TEAM WORK !!!!
Then dinner came and yup reflections….. and sleep

DAY 3
WOKE UP, shower , breakfast…. Low elements games…. This is when our teamwork is put to a real test…. To climb over the wall, jump over using a rope, tyre , jump over string…..we can complete it…. Even though we have to repeat the game all over again due to accidental mistakes, but we never blame each other- instead we encouraged each other….cheer them up, gave moral support… hahahahaha what a great team !!!
Then the scaling down the 3 stories high tower using a rope… cheering do help hahaha…. Rock climbing- as usual I still can’t climb to the peak….
-lunch-
Explore bukit timah hill…. Equipped only with a map and friends…. Even though we went into a dead end, but we managed to work as a team to find the real way- the bicycle track… haha its sooo fun… walking along the track….chit some chat, back each others up…. Even though when the unfriendly weather came, it was overcome by our teamwork !!!! we supported each other...
Yup today’s the last night and yup sad atmosphere was arising…..however friendship will still goes on…..

Day 4
BASICALLY just pack up belongings, breakfast, went back to college…. Then attended the HTC meeting and yup closing ceremony…. The training camp may have ended, but the learning still goes on…. The friendship……the memories……experiences……hardship……. All will always be us….

Just like I have said, this is the best camp I ever have….its the first time I ever see the real power of teamwork….. and for that the group members are really nice people…. Right …HTCs..when the school reopens Lets set off and apply what we have learnt !!! IN TRUTH, WITH JUSTICE, IN HONOUR !!!! AS ONE !!!!WOOSH !!!

今は私はまじめな！失敗は許しない

fight! アルウイン

My Goal

2008-05-17T23:02:00.003+08:00

At last... finally i began to get some idea on what i wanna be...... Destination: Japan ya hahaha... ya really i wanted to go there....because i like the way the life there..... The politeness of the people....good virtue....always wanted to give their best.....and many more.... these somehow suits my taste....

Well to achieve my goal, for now i need to do well in my A'level , so as to get the Precious Monbukagakusho scholarship.... that's the legendary scholarship that is offered by the Japanese Education ministry.....

WHY I CHOOSE JAPAN?
well i've just remembered about my childhood times.... my parents always promised to allow me to buy 1 comic if i can get a top 10 rank in class during my primary school life. Well i always did, haha and yup guess what comic i like to buy? DORAEMON !!! after reading it, i always tell my parents about Hokkaido....Fuji mountain...and everything about Japan !!!and i want to visit them...

Soon in S'pore, in my sec 4 life, i began to reconnect with my dream, after a few years being manipulated by online games like maplestory... ragnarok.... and these caused a fatal damage to my studies.... The connection is to watch anime, read manga.... and since i'm considered as an outcast in the class - since my interest and way of thinking is different from the rest..... They prefer to see a group of people fighting over a small ball as if they do not have any "balls" at all eventhough they do hahaha XD (joking), so this is the best method for me..... Soon i found some people who share the same interest as me..... 2 precious friends- whom i can get along with..... however one of them went to poly, while the other is in CJC 1T15

In sec 4 also, during the June holiday, i Joined the Geography trip to KURIHARA, Japan(refer to June/July 2007 archive).... there for the 1st time in my life i went to japan and meet the Japanese with my own eyes. Eventhough some people in the group tries to disrupt the whole journey,the irritating rules that was set by the group leader, overall i find the trip is beneficial..... I'm also still in contact with one of my Japanese friends....

FAMILY PROBLEM
Thus this is how the feeling of wanting to go to japan is born.... I am now hiding this dream from my family( except my father, mother and sister) for that first they are going to bad-mouth about Japan to discourage me for sure.... and secondly for that the whole family relation trees are really shaky...always quarelled with each other... the last time was during the distribution of the inheritance...one aunt tries to monopolise the whole things and it triggered an uproar.... my family(father,mother& sister) who did not bother about the stupid inheritance also dragged into the matter.... Furthermore, i will always remember on how my aunt tries to distract me 3 days before the O'level - i wish i could just take a knife and cut her to pieces, but what's the point of doing that? If i were to kill her, wouldn't that her husband and children will be affected? so... the best choice is just to cut off the links....

I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO POINT IN TREASURING THE FAMILY TREE... I JUST WISH TO START A NEW.... TOGETHER WITH MY FATHER, MOTHER AND SISTER AND COMPLETELY CUT OFF THE WHOLE FAMILY TREES.......

Therefore i'll work hard towards achieving my goal...and i really really want it very badly.... GAMBATTE !!!

Judo

2008-03-10T20:02:00.005+08:00

(PAE)J1 JUDO MEMBERS I've been away for three days since friday, reason was that i attended the JUDO camp... haha yeah, its my new CCA, JUDO and i'm glad that CJC offered that martial arts as a CCA... Not forgetting, the atmosphere there also very welcoming, everyone speaks only 1 language, that is english language..=) I've known a lot of people since i joined the JC, even though sadly some had to leave after the 'evil' JAE postings- I've lost my Judo partner. But even so, lots of freshmen are joining... Everyone's elated as we have just received our new GI's recently.

Day 1

reported to the Piazza at 4.30pm, then did some Physical training...after which, dinner time at 6.00pm...rest till 7.30pm while at the same time we checked in to our bunk(the classroom)....then full GI' training till around 10.30pm... haha the atmosphere was very high, as everyone was happy to wear the new GI's for the 1st time..... After training, showered and have water parade, whereby everyone have to finish their own water bottle that was filled to the brim... Met new friend at that time.... The coach told us that he's changing his career and a new one will be taking over us....felt disappointed and sad,because he's the best coach we ever had....Lights out at 11.15pm and everyone slept comfortably after the vigorous training... Even though sleeping in the classroom may not be that comfortable, but the spirit of togetherness somehow eliminated that negative point.

Day 2

my whole bunk woke up at 5.15am,then charged to the toilet before it's packed... then changed to our PE attire and reported to the Grand Stand at 6.00am . Ran around the track 4 rounds, then did shuttle run for 15 times, push up around 200 with 5 second intervals, sit up 200 times....then we're off for our breakfast at 7.30am... we felt that the Food was very delicious,could it because we're hungry at that time or was it the truth? haha who cares ! After breakfast, rest till 9.30am before we started our morning training... yup some of us went to continue sleeping.... then training comes....

"DO YOU PREFER SPEED OR POWER?"

That's the question that was directed at us..the time has come whereby we'll decide our fighting style......however, we're given a guidelines, the big ones are recommended to take POWER, while the smaller ones are recommended to take SPEED.

I chose POWER....and yup, taught by the seniors who came back to help out.....We learnt the first POWER throw, the Harai goshi...

The training lasted for the whole day, with lunch and dinner break....That time, a former friend came to drop us a visit again...she have transferred to ACJC, yet she still came back.... yup haha everyone seemed to be revitalised by her visit...haha finally i can did the practice that i couldn't do before... at night after we're dismissed, i sparred with a friend, she's quite good...haha we applied all of the techniques that were taught to us and learnt each others style while at the same time spotting the weaknesses...

Day 3

The whole JUDOkas WERE woken up by the shouting of someone at 3am in the morning...

" ONE TWO ONE TWO ONE TWO.... noW... JUMPING JACK, jUMPING JACK !!! ONE TWO ONE TWO ONE TWO, hahahahaha..... Push up Push up...nonoNO Run RUN RUN !!!.... THROW THE BALL...... "

Looks like the Rugby ppl had nothing to do at all, doing their physical training at 3 AM!!!!

but its obvious that they wanted to disturb the Judokas..... anyway we just ignored as we need to conserve the energy for the physical training at 6am.... and yup, by the time we woke up again at 5am, the rugby players were exhausted. After PT, that is the GST(Grand Stand Torture) and the exercises we did the day before, we have our breakfast and same thing, rest....training.... yup

RANDORI* sparred with the brown and black belt and owned all the times, but managed to break a few of their throws....haha.... training ended at around 4.30pm

After that returned home, with aches all over the body....

Judo is fun !!! it has its own unique-ness, aside from that JAPANESE Commands are used most of the time that roCKZ hehehehe..... its the friendship that each of us made there....

CJ-ians..... SAAAH !!!!!

ANIME & MANGA

2008-02-17T12:22:00.007+08:00

Anime(アニメ) or Manga（漫画） is already not a strange word to every human on this earth.In fact, almost everyone know what they means. Otaku（おたく）means someone who’s really obsessed with anime/manga or both. There is no real definition of the word “Otaku” as It depends on each humans way of thinking; Some people called themselves “otaku” because they have watched and read lots of anime or manga, while some labeled themselves because they have watched and read a particular manga or anime. Anyway, even though we’ve different way of labeling ourselves, but we’re still the same…..

How it began
Anime & manga industries began in japan after the creators were inspired by the western animation; The Disney creation such as Mickey mouse, Snow white& 7 dwarves..Thus they began to borrow the ideas and started to improve it…. Which was not wrong at all, because they did not go against the copyright law… One of the best example is the western cartoon; transformers. The Japanese borrowed the ideas and put a lot of effort to improve on it and thus the anime; GUNDAM was created. For more information you can refer to Wikipedia.

The threat
Today, the Japanese animation have already reached to the audiences all around the world, be it in ASIA, EUROPE, AMERICA, AFRICA, AUSTRALIA….. and it is so successful that many of the anime series and even cosplay are conducted, like the “Start of the year 2008 Anime cosplay at Nanyang polytechnic in Singapore”. However there is a few "Asshole" who wanted to ‘steal’ it and claimed it that it is theirs. The few asshole apparently are from China and at the same time they are embarassing their country.

LOOK AT HOW THEY RUIN THE KAWAI KAWAI KAWAI MY BELOVED HARUHI... WITH THEIR FILTHY HANDS...

Fake haruhi(complete rip off)

Original Japanese haruhi

Look at the similarity between this two picture… the one below is the original Japanese anime, but the one above it is the “pathetic-copied” version. This is the typical characteristic of these people, only know how to rip off someone’s hardwork
The Effect

What will you think when you keep seeing this book in your daily life? Of course you will think that things exist as this way....just like how my beloved Haruhi is like.... FAT??? grr... i will not forgive the people who ruin my beloved Haruhi... of course, other anime otaku will also think the same way as me....
Piracy
Piracy is a hit in the world today.It is a one-sided benefiting, as the producer would face a lost, but on the other hand, the needy people can finally afford the goods…..its a topic whereby you cannot determine which one is good or bad. There are two kinds of piracy ; the Piracy is completely the same as the original, except for the selling price and the Piracy that modifies the content…. I supported the Piracy that is completely same as the original,even though it hurts the producer, but at least the people are not misguided by the wrong information… People who buys the pirated goods are usually those who cannot afford it but liked the goods very much….. and I believe that once these people are out of their cycle of poverty, they would buy the original ones….as it’s a basic characteristic of human to keep trying to buy something that they like…..

Anime & Manga Student
The students who like to watch the manga and anime are usually easily to be spotted in schools. They are usually alone…. Because their way of thinking is not suitable with their peers who favours the ‘hot’ stuffs in the Generation ME. However even they are alone, they’re not lonely…as the anime& manga will become their friends….. I can say that because I’m one of them, the one who’s always alone during my secondary school lives, wandering over my imagination- the world of anime…..however i did not shed my tears, as the anime& manga keeps me company… and I believe the others are also feeling this way….

ODEX
The Odex crackdown on Anime community in singapore last year was a holocaust… Even though I’m not involved in this downloading thingy as I had stopped 2 years ago, but I still do not support Odex’s action. This is because to us, students who liked to watch anime – anime are just like our best friends,because human friends just somehow cannot get along with us…. Taking away anime from us means taking our best friends from us…. And for that I believe that’s why the whole anime community rebel against odex…. I believe that the Anime community is not at fault at all, but odex do… because its their fault for firstly to start the crackdown by attacking Singnet, Starhub in order to get the victims for money without any warning at all…. Even if they were to issue warning, would the anime community agrees to it? I don’t think so, because if the warning are taken and we stopped downloading and watching anime online, odex could not compensate us…..

To put it simply because the anime series that they sold are in Extremely poor quality plus, they dubbed it….. in which dubbing the anime is the same as spoiling the anime, because we the anime-fans would prefer to watch it in Japanese language version, with or without ENGLISH SUBS. Why do we choose English? Its because it’s the language that is understood internationally, If other language is to be used It would be racist, as it indirectly tells the audience that “ hey you must learnt this language in order to enjoy this animation” for eg. Odex dubbed the anime in CHINESE with English subtitle….isn’t that it is not fair to the other races? The MALAYS, TAMILS, ANGMOHs ???? English subtitle is not the matter, but the audio does !!!!

The path i have chosen

2008-01-26T23:53:00.000+08:00

The results of the O's had been released few days ago, and based on it, the path has been chosen, which is to stay in Singapore... yup, i didn't resent the fact that i did not leave for Australia as i get the feeling that western cultures totally does not suit me at all.There are a lot of visible reasons that you can see in my daily behaviour, that will explain my 'not-so-interested' attitude. In fact i am hoping it to happen like this, because after that it will be my favourite quoted sentences:"BRIDGES TO A BRAVE NEW WORLD "

Therefore, the path has been chosen and there is no more turning back ....

Lately there are a lot of thoughts going around my mind, a lot.... and i am going to list them down one by one in my next post , These will Not BECAUSE that i wanted to show off my General Paper skill, but its because i'm really bothered by those thoughts......

Finale night,,,,The epic battle !!!

2008-01-09T23:10:00.000+08:00

The sound of the 4 houses echoed throughout the hall, which was in abyss.....

the top left hand corner, is the house of the house of the Japanese Yakuza(Mafia)...clad in black suits,wearing a head band that resembles the true Japanese Soldiers in World War...... with katana in their hands....YATTA ! YATTA YATTTA..............YATTA!

On the top right hand corner, is the house of the the ardent for soccer.....clad in green outfits, they Cheered as if Soccer match is at the climax..... OLE !!! OLE !!!! OLE !!!!

On the bottom right hand corner, is the house of the French, with the leader..... V for Vendetta! they were all clad in blue outfits.....Voila VICTOR !!! VOILA VICTOR !!!!! VOILA VICTOR!!!!

On the bottom left hand corner, is the house of the Cook(s), they were all clad in red outfits, carrying forks and spoons and....not forgetting pots and pans..... SHIOK!!! SHIOK !!! SHIOK !!!

On the stage, the gigantic picture of the 'big guy' appeared before the four houses, that says" i'm watching you !!!"

The Whole hall was turned into a battlefield for that night.... yelling and chanting which were to help the house to win the title of the best house of the year.....

The event was ended soon with a mass dance, which i loved the most....... "...SHAKE SHAKE IN...SHAKE SHAKE OUT !" eVERYBODY poured out looking worn out, but with a satisfaction inside everyone's heart....

2008-01-05T23:23:00.000+08:00

My new school

gender matters
So that is it, a new beginning.... in a new school.... with a handful familiar faces of 04' students.... enjoyed the new school..... for that the orientation that is held is really beneficial to us, the students.... The games held really boosted our friendship in the group....girls or boys mixed together, without looking at the gender. Yes, yes it exist, " GENDER BARRIER" i could see it during my sec school lives.... the boys will never be able to hang around with the girls...except for some 'lucky' guys....Moreover, these 'lucky'guys will try to show to the girls that they're macho and kind, but the weak boys will be the sacrifice! either physically or verbally

English speaking community
ahh.... finally an english-speaking community...its like a wish come true, i have always wished for it....for that chinese-speaking community drives me nuts ! This is because i did not understand the language at all....therefore in a conversation, i would be the outcast. I often get irritated when some chinese(mandarin) speaking people tried to tease you by communicating with the locals in chinese!

Some Old chinese people would often tease us, the Chinese who don't know how to speak mandarin," Hey you're chinese how come you don't know how to speak mandarin?" The answer is simple... its Determination. If you wish to learn a language you must have a determination to do it.... Because it's useless to take a language tuition if you did not have a heart to learn it...

A new adventure
Yes, this is it.... the reason that i liked the most; a new adventure.....with new friends and a chance for me to broaden my knowledge and increasing my experience....especially all the people that i would meet will no longer be the same as sec school. The new people will be the group of people that are the geniuses of the country, they could either be locals or even Scholarship Students..... this is already proven through the orientation game; the top school students can do 13P13 without calculator.......

and many more reasons.....

Therefore;
I really hope that my O' level results to give the the best satisfaction in my life..... Pray pray pray....=)

Close to nature

2007-12-25T22:06:00.000+08:00

hi, it has been ages since i last blogged haha.... well i have just reached home from.... a hill resort called "BRASTAGI" i am totally exhausted now for climbing and hiking the hill.... haha anyway its a great experience... There's a family reunion btw....all of us went there yesterday, early in the morning and there we interacted with each other...the more senior ones will just talk.....while the more junior ones will run around...

Yesterday, we went to play the "Paint ball", a special war game whereby you will wear the real-life war suit and hold a paint-rifle.... we challenged each other lol but of course the senior ones who teamed together 'bullied' the junior ones...haha of course the senior one includes; Me =)
Then, we went to have fun at the theme-park...
When night falls, we returned back to the villa that we rented and ate home-made steamboat.... some adult even brought wine, whisky and liquor... lolz.... and the best thing was that, the children were allowed to drink the wine....haha its so hillarious to see my younger cousins running around after drinking the wine and sticking their tongue out yelling" PHUEEEK !!"

THEN...bedtime...

TOday, early in the morning, we set off to the base of a hill and tried hiking it....once we reached the top of the hill, the beautiful scenery lies before our eyes..... one special thing that i still can't believe is that; we made our way from brastagi to LAKE TOBA ! we got to see lake toba from the other side.....the side that most tourists are unable to see....it was beautiful ......

Well that's all my experience.... i just realize someting; for that Indonesia actually have all the natural attraction that could attract a lot of tourists; but only the government and ministers that practises "corruptism" that ruins them all....

Really, "Brastagi Hill Resort" is still cool.... the trees can still be seen all over the place.... you can even see the cattle in their natural habitat; goats, horses, bulls, i can say it can still compete and probably knocked out Malaysia's Cameron Highland..... if the 'corruptive' government wakes up !

Ok thats all... oh ya.... wishing " MERRY CHRISTMAS" to those who celebrates it....

Attack of the Aunt

2007-12-15T21:19:00.000+08:00

well as the title have said, i will be talking about my maternal aunt's attack that happened just today.... So far, this was the latest attack that she launched at my family.....Her attack is not physical related, but... using words...trying to damage your image....

Hmph, the attack is not a shocking news to me, for that formerly she launched attacks quite often...i have no idea why she did something so inhumane she was once an aunt whom i respected...but not now,as she had turned into an ugly demon.....

One of her most craziest attack was 3 Days before O'level.... She accused
me without any proof of corrupting her son's money.... she
claimed i extorted from her son? $ 400-500 per month... and why the
heck i want to use her money?as its against my parents
teaching...
Well, did you know what she dared to do at that time? her
mouth spitted out news that i extorted money from her son without
any proof... Amazingly, her words can reach throughout the whole relatives
in Indonesia, From Medan, to Jakarta.... from the cities to the villages....
just imagine how dangerous she was....
Fortunately that attack could be defended by my habit of making a
record book for every transaction..... you know; Black and white
recording is the strongest evidence to prove my
innocence.. ..And...therefore...Case Closed*( but i have to waste my time to scan and
send the evidence to every party that was involved....)
My O'S may also be affected, as i have not been revising for the past 3 days....

Today, she tried to make my parents quarell with each other...but luckily i managed to prevent it... Actually i have a plan of striking back but i refrain from doing it, because even if i were to blast her back, her mouth could not be silenced...and she will for sure strike back again, creating more problem....
and for that I was reminded of the CAUSE-EFFECT belief, She will surely got it back naturally....

The Hardest Decision

2007-12-11T11:11:00.000+08:00

well hmm...yah this is about making a wise decision and most foreign Indonesian foreign students have to choose this.... well as you may be aware that Mr Gary Tan had once said, when we're in geography class in sec 3, "Most Indonesians after completing their secondary school education will leave singapore to go else where..."

Yah, this is almost the same for me..... now i have completed secondary schools and there are now two paths for me to choose..... to continue in Singapore or to Go to elsewhere...... i have been thinking about this few weeks before O's and after O's i have been going round singapore, trying to look for information.....

This is the reason why Singapore is referred as the "stop-by-point" for foreign students before venturing the blue seas.... and i'm sure those who take geography will understand this...

Hehe, i'm still not sure yet anyway.... Time's running out soon and the decision has to be made sooner.....

2007-12-03T22:58:00.000+08:00

Hello it has been ages since the last time i blogged...and this is one of the changes in the town; blackout !!! once a while, the whole house will be swallowed by abyss....all electrical appliances can't be used at all...and yup there you go, the description of power-outage...

The people i have known have also changed....one of my primary school friend, Zevy, gave me a ride round the town...wow he could already drive !!! haha i still did not have confidence to drive a car, as i have not touched the steer and the road signs have also changed.....the traffic-polices became fiercer and their eyes were as sharp as the eyes of the eagles...

The whole town also have changed, the mayor has installed a countdown timer on most of the traffic lights, to tell the drivers on how much time left before the light switched from green to red...this caused some of the racing-car-maniacs to speed up, trying to beat the traffic...hence endangering the 2-wheel transportation users....

However, my favourite transportation is still a bicycle... i always cycle to either deliver something or retrieve something...and the best part is that the police won't catch the cyclist that upset the traffic rules, for eg.... Me !!! haha ..... i always like to go against the flow of the traffic, trying to get a shortcut..

hmm...looks like i'm able to appreciate manga better now, because when i went to the local bookstore, i started to hunt for manga...haha i also understand what the manga is all about.... anyway, i'm also working during this holiday....doing something i'm capable of....okk cya gd night....=)

Journey back home. . .

2007-11-25T21:44:00.000+08:00

yo, reached indonesia yesterday around 4pm local time...Really tired, because i almost miss my ferry...you know i did not know that they were using the card-tap function for every ferry.... i boarded the ferry 10 minutes before departure time as i was too carried away wandering around VIVO CITY.

Of course when i tapped my card the screen wrote: "Please check with the operator" Wow, at that time i was panicking, because if i were to miss this ferry, i would as well miss my flight....

Fortunately for me, the security uncle contacted the other staff at the pier,and the response that was received was" LET HIM IN.." yah, and what will you expect for someone ,who have delayed the other passengers to do? Of course i ran like a crazy horse....cutting past aunty who was dragging her luggage gingerly.... and when i boarded the ferry, it was fully packed, with some people glaring at me with an unwelcoming atmosphere....expected...since i was the last passenger...

The Other part of the trip was as usual, reached batam and proceeded to the airport to catch the plane...and reached home....

yup, haha i could not believe it...there is a change in the city, a noticeable change... i shall talk about it more in the next post....

Journey home

2007-11-24T07:33:00.001+08:00

yah, today i'm going back already.... it has been around 10 months since the last time i went back.... haha Yup for sure, i'm not going to take a direct flight - it will be really troublesome you know,as the Silk Air will surely take me as "YOUNG PASSENGER TRAVELLING ALONE"

So, i will go home via Batam... yah, ok bye bye......

Prom night

2007-11-21T20:57:00.000+08:00

Hahahaha... Prom's Over yesterday and yup, its kinda a fine night, filled with people with their formal suits......The guys wore suits that range from less business like to Business formal suits.... while the Girls, wore dresses that ranged from usual to H.O.T haha anyway its a good experience after all....

The Buffet was satisfactory, the dance haha, Those in the same table as me did not join in, because....we did not have any female partner* haha you know, its kinda horrifying to see guy dance with another guy.... but seriously the dance looked more like a discotheque ! and we're underage lolz.....

Then lucky draw, looks like 404 students kinda lucky.... most of us struck the lucky draw.... i did not know what others got, but I got a $10 voucher for salon in People's park centre...lolz i prefer barber than a salon ! so i think the voucher is of no use to me....

The game shows are funny, by asking people " who wear black socks" " who's carrying a non-camera phone" "wear gold earing..." Then came the part whereby they were asking for volunteers of the audience to go up the stage to deliver a song....and i silently fled to the toilet...haha true to my instict, my table-mates wanted to sabotage me....

I have some pics and video that i had taken:

i personally like this one, because the three of us ( me, danial and teck ann ) are the anime-otaku(s) [a term used for those die-hard anime fans]

THEREFORE:
I would like to personally thank my friends who had wished me happy birthday! it was really an honour to receive such a warm wishing.... i'm really sorry that i could not mention your name here, else those unnecessary gossips will arise..... but i really appreaciate your kindness...so once again Thank you very much !

2007-11-19T23:00:00.000+08:00

My days in Japan:

Yosh...japan trip is over.... and to keep thinking about it is not a way too, because there's still tommorow... who knows i might get a chance to visit Japan again.....

Through this trip: i have learnt a lot about Japan and to develop an interest in Japanese culture, language and people....and everything about JAPAN !!!
I am inspired by the Japanese.... their behaviour are remarkable... their politeness are idolized by me,for that even my level of 'politeness' still could not match with theirs! Their Spirit really heats me up! they are really loyal to their country...

I really have a good image of the Japanese and of course admired them..To tell you the truth, i have been having special thought of Japanese since i was a little boy...through the Doraemon Comics that i had read Daily

My greatest dream is....... to be able to work in Japan.....and of course...to learn JAPANESE Language, Culture,and....not just that, everything about Japan !!!

I'll surely achieve my dream, Just wait for me, JAPAN!!!

Day 7 (finale)
QWSS Japan Trip June 2007

woke up....6am...haha didn't feel any aching at all, because i slept in Japanese FUTON* haha....
we're racing against time.... we were supposed to meet at the City Hall at 7am sharp! in order for us to catch our flight.....

sayonara Minna~~~~

Shirotori family surely really hardworking, the moment we woke up, Mrs Shirotori and her mother-in-law quickly prepared breakfast and asked us to choose between rice and bread.... haha curious about Japanese bread, we chose bread..... but guess what, their bread was really really really thick.... haha... not only that, they were also able to make soup and yup, they served us with pure Japanese green tea....wah....

After our meal, we gathered our stuffs and thank them for taking care of us....its kinda sad.... because we had just met and now its time for us to bid goodbye already...Yup, All of us left in two vehicles.... when we reached the city hall, there was no one, except the tv-crew... haha being the early bird, we were interviewed...haha, i was speechless when the camera was shooting at me...

Soon, the others came and yup it began to get noisy... yup all of us took photos and we're going home man!sooo sad.... as the bus steered away and gradually accelerating, we could only see the host families waving at us....

The journey home wasn't really fun at all, for that we had to leave our new friends ....
Reached airport, 2 hours earlier and we got time to do some shopping.... Couldn't buy much, for that my baggage is already filled with clothes....perhaps its my fault to bring such a small luggage...

Then,someone begged me to change seat with her...haha no choice, since she asked so politely that i just agreed..... actually i had to sit between danial and tingwei, but the girl asked me to switch with her...and haha at least with that, i make new friends: got to know two friends from 204: MEI LING & RaJveen

Soon the plane took off and fly fly fly fly fly away~~~~~~~~
reached S'pore at about 11pm and yup, queue up for taxi...

2007-11-19T21:38:00.000+08:00

DAY 6
QWSS JAPAN TRIP JUNE 2007

Yup, today was a really special day for us,as we were going to stay with our designated host families… Well actually not many of us wanted it, after the first day whereby we met with our respective host families, we were terrified…. Not because they were scary or anything else, but the fact that only a handful of them were able to speak English and we’ll have difficulties communicating with them.
After Onsen-ing for the last time, we went to the restaurant to eat our last meal in that hotel…*sob
After that, we went back to our room to pack up everything… well it seemed just yesterday that we had just arrived in the hotel and now we’re already leaving….time seemed to have no hold in Japan…

written: Heilsam Kurikoma

Hiks* drinking Japanese Milk for the last time...btw my favourite is the blue coloured milk...

Sayonara mountain, Snow, Clouds....

Yup, the moment the clock struck 8am all of us boarded the bus,leaving for the city hall to meet our host families…. When we reached there, we directly went to our host family and yup…everyone was separated….. Tingwei and I headed towards our host family, Shirotori families….who led us to his vehicle….quite a big car…..inside the car its no joke! GPS system!!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes!

WOw ! ! !GPS SYSTEM

Well first, Kyotaro and his father,Mr Shirotori drove us to their home, whereby there we met his wife, daughter, 2nd son and his mother…outside their house, they had a dog that could able to listen to commands, because when we first reached, it’s a common sense for a dog to bark….but when Kyotaro spoke in Japanese to the dog, the dog kindly returned to its dog house……flipping through the Japanese dictionary, we tried to communicate with Shirotori families…. First they led us to their 2nd living room….wow their house was very big, it took quite a long time just to get from the main door to the 2nd living room…
There, we placed our bags and headed back to the 1st living room…we talked with each other by using a handphone translation….it was quite fortunate for us that they thought of such thing…..our hobby ranged from hobby….to school work..and then to my favourite topic: ANIME&MANGA….. Lolz Tingwei was puzzled when they talked about this topic, but I, being a anime-lovers was enjoying a talk with them…. GUNDAM….DETECTIVE CONAN….DORAEMON…ETC…

Soon, they asked us to get into the car as they wanted to take us out for lunch….and we did…. When the car was going out, they suddenly lowered their side windows and told us: “ OJISAN” , which means their grandfather…. He’s a nice man….and looked healthy despite I thought that he was already quite old….

Along the way, Mrs Shirotori asked me what song did I listen to and I told her Japanese songs…. She smiled and asked me which artist I favoured…. I told her ZARD and she raised her eyebrows…. I did not know why until I returned to Singapore and found out that the artist had just passed away from CANCER…. Mrs Shirotori then suggested to me,” AYUMI HAMASAKI?” and I nodded….
After one hour on the road, we stopped by a convenience store and they asked us to take what I wanted and they would pay for us….Being brought up with Manners, I kept declining their offer and thank them for their kindness….. But later the funny part was that when they showed me their translated text and it read” PLEASE DO NOT DECLINE” lolz…. Funnay hahahahhahahaha but still in the end I still did not want to take, but TINGWEI took a Caffeine water…then our Journey continued….
After another one hour, they asked us to choose whether we wanted to eat burger or beef rice…. Of course our answer were anything…but to the Japanese, Anything is not an answer….
Then we chose BEEF RICE…..and guess where we were brought to? YOSHINOYA! At first we thought it would be the same as in Singapore…. But there was something different when we entered the YOSHINOYA outlet in Japan…. The seat were all counter seat and the cashier would deliver the food to the customers…. Furthermore, they did not sell any kind of drinks at all and provided us with cold plain water !!!!! sooo nice, unlike the YOSHINOYA IN SINGAPORE, BOOOO!

Yoshinoya, Japan

Their Beef rice was also quite unique …. Their sizes were: small,medium,large,EXTRA LARGE….. lolz…
After a fruitful lunch, we headed to Sahara, a ceramic shopping centre …There,Shirotori-san wanted to buy for us necklace, which was made up by choosing the beads that we wanted…similar to those in Singapore and was usually for girls….. so we declined their offer…. But now in singapore, I regretted my decision, because I found out from JAPAN HOUR that the purpose of beads in JAPAN is not the same as in singapore,because each of the beads represent your characteristics…and it could even act as a TALISMAN!

Water-powered clock outside Sahara Shopping centre

us with the Japanese..aww doesn't they look kawaii*(cute)?

After that, we went to the most attractive sites; THE GOLDEN TEMPLE…. Which requires us to hike up the slopes…quite tiring, but It was a fruitful experience for us to watch the GOLDEN TEMPLE….everything was made of gold! Sadly we were forbidden to take photos and the monks were on guard…. Well,all the statues were the same as in Buddhist temple…haha its just that the explaination was written in JAPANESE….we prayed and threw in some coins…..

we're hiking...and hiking and hiking....wooohooo!

washing hand...pure water i think...

Outside the temple

Benkei with Natuko,Kyotaro's sister as the model

Torii*(gate)

Outside the temple, we tried the Japanese culture of fortune telling…. First we put in 100yen into the box and draw out a piece of paper…. Then, KYOTARO explained to me what it means….

My symbol was a broom….. then Kyotaro translated for me:
HEALTH – OK
STUDIES-OK
LOVE- NOT TIME YET >.<

Japanese Ice-Cream...

their family...haha i wonder why Yajiro(extreme right), Kyotaro's brother acted that way...

Later, shirotori asked us whether we wanted to play bowling…but we declined for that we felt very uncomfortable for them to keep treating us…..as they had spent a huge amount of money therefore, we headed back to their house…
Inside the house, they asked us to get into the car to shower and we were puzzled….shower in a car?? Haha actually we were brought to his 2nd house, just to shower…..but I could roughly guessed that JAPANESE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT FOREIGNER WILL ALWAYS TAKE A BATH, NOT A SHOWER….
After showering, we took a walk around the neighbourhood and yup, he brought us to a Japanese Shinto shrine…. We prayed and threw in some coins…Then, we returned back…..quite nice, Mrs shirotori and her mother-in-law cooked delicious food…but the interesting fact was that During their house meal, each members will have their own CHOPSTICKS,SPOONS, PLATES…. Because we were given wooden disposable chopsticks… Another treat comes again, when OJISAN returned home with 2 boxes of SUSHI.....WOW NYAM~NYAM…… Sushi ~~~ we could not finish it……

Tingwei and I

Us, with their family

Ojisan in the pics

at the same time, we were watching JAPANESE Variety Show on the television…. Lolz it was so funny,its about:

About a blackman who brought his monkey and tried to experience Japanese culture… the scene was set when he visited a ‘TAKOYAKI’(Octopus ball) shop and when he was served with the ‘takoyaki’,he used his hand to grabbed it and put it into his mouth…guess what, in the end, he was struggling and fanning himself , as the ‘takoyaki’ was too hot !Next, he handed the plate of the’takoyaki’ to his monkey and guess what, the monkey could not resist the heat that caused it to throw the ‘takoyaki’ away, in a funny manner! Haha

So, after a delicious food, we took some photos and yup, headed back to the 2nd living room…. There, Shirotori-san showed us three VCDs that he had just rented and asked us what we wanted to watch the choices were; TROY, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3, The Great Chase
Well actually I wanted to choose Mission Impossible 3, but Tingwei just kept bugging, saying that he had watched Troy and Mission Impossible 3, ok lor, so I just relent to him…. To watch The Great Chase, since he was a car-racing-maniac…..
Guess what, we could not understand the movie at all,Because it’s a German Movie that had a Japanese language as the subtitle…. No!!!! haha so in the end, we just stare at the moving picture….But unfortunately, I got a sore eyes after that….. Not because watching the movie for too long, but to see something that I was not supposed to see yet….. You know, the movie scene that suddenly show a Caucasian Woman’S Boob !!! Sianz lar, I immediately covered my eyes….couldn’t believe what I had just seen !!!
Halfway during the show, Ojisan came in and brought us cake!!! Wow so generous of them… and he asked us to write some kind of message for the family….and they will write some for us too…. (exchanging messages) yup, its very nice, Japanese surely really treasure their guests!
That night, I could just doze off easily, as it was the only moment I got to sleep in Futon*(Japanese mattress) Recorded down some information in diary and…. Yup ZZZ..zzzz…ZZZZ….zzzzz OYASUMI!

2007-11-14T23:18:00.000+08:00

Day 5
QWSS JAPAN TRIP JUNE 2007

Woke up, earlier than usual because today was a special day for us…. The mayor had kindly invited us to his office…. So we’re all excited….. at 8am, we boarded the bus and left for the mayor’s office…. The mayor’s a kind guy, he welcomed us into his office….. when we were heading to his office, we walked pass the civil service workers….. yah, we had to greet them ‘ohayo gozaimasu’(good morning) and there were lots of them that we had to keep bowing for every step we took…..

outside the mayor's office

the staffs working for the city

teachers talking

Then, the mayor brought us to his meeting room , together with his assistant… there we were given origami paper, looks expensive !!!! and they taught us to fold a ‘shiratori’ (swan) yup , a ver y fruitful experience…..

the memorable meeting room

Ms leong presenting a gift to the mayor

after that, we bid goodbye before leaving for UGUISUZAWA JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL…..

For our entertainment, the mayor had passed a CD to our tour guide, mr Ronnie tan… and it contained the news report on our arrival in Kurihara, featuring the PAPER MAKING SCENE & WHEN WE WERE AT THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS PLANTATION.

us, on the news

Soon, we reached the high school and received a warm welcome !!! yup, only the principal greeted us as the rest of the school were still having their lessons….. after taking off our shoes and wearing the sandals provided, we were led into a waiting room, where we rested for a while before going on a tour around the school…
Guess what, we were introduced to the school’s information and surprisingly the school only have a population of 70 students…. Wow, compared to Queensway’s 1400 students 200 TIMES MORE !!!!!! I could say their teaching style were similar to Queensway…btw at that time, they were learning mathematics, home economics and history….. and there were only 1 sec 1, sec2 and sec 3 classes….
After that, we returned to the waiting room whereby we were served ice-cream….mmmm yummy, especially the ice-cream was branded …. I couldn’t recall the name, but I ever seen it in s’pore, which costed $14 bucks for 1 tub…..

Then, we went to their hall to practice our performance… their hall was far more bigger that queensway’s ….. yup, here we go, everyone except me went to the toilet to change to their designated ethical costumes, while me…. Haha, went backstage to become the DJ !, well, I was kicked out from malay dance as I danced as stiff as a rawhide….hehe sabotaged DANIAL instead…. So here we goes,after the formal opening speech by a student representatives from both party, the Japanese showed us their skills: from basketball, to soft tennis, and softball … all of them were magnificent, all of them took turns to ‘serve’ so quickly and professionally, just like machine guns….. But the part I like the most was the softball…. Their skills were unmatchable…… because on several occasion, when you expect them to miss the ball, they could still able to catch…WOW!

Soon its Queensway’s turn,after an opening speech by ARIYANI, I hit the play button , sit back and watch their performances, however view was only of their butt ! =D
After the dance, we were exchanging gifts, ahh…. Most of us made mistakes for not bringing our ‘prepared’ presents and yet we still dared to argue with Mr Tan who scolded us… but soon after we realize our mistakes, we apologized to him, except one student who did accept that he is wrong….
After that, we were given a treat by the principal, their school’s lunch… JAPANESE SCHOOL STYLE BENTO! The looks may be quite unattractive, but the uninteresting look didn’t mean that the food is insipid! It was…. OISHI~~(*delicious) . Well some information, in Japan, their school did not have such thing called” canteen” They have an aunty who lived in the school, who will plan and cook their menus everyday and their parents will just pay monthly fee….

After a delicious meal, we were separated into groups and went around to enjoy their culture…. Actually the Japanese had planned for us to rotate around the activities, but due to time constraint, we were not able to enjoy all of them. For me, I’d only felt their local deer dance, which looked the same as Singapore’s liondance, its just that we have to put a deer-look-alike hat that was sooooo heavy. Furthermore, there’s a veil that covers your face, so you would not feel hot and in addition, there was a huge drum tied on your belly…. You had to dance while beating the drum…. Quite difficult but haha enjoyable… too bad I did not bring my camera there…
Afterwards we went to the ‘community centre’ to watch the other groups learning tea ceremony… not bad, we were served with Authentic JAPANESE GREEN TEA… and a candy-like stuff… Well I could roughly guess the procedure, since I was interested in JAPAN when I was young and I’d read too much DORAEMON, which roughly teach you about JAPANESE CULTURE.

Tea drinking procedure:
EAT THE CANDY first, then hold the bowl in your hand…. Turn the bowl three times(believed to be able to make the tea delicious) and drink it…. Afterwards, use your fingers to wipe the spot on the bowl that come into contact with your mouth…..
Soon, we headed back to the school and yah, it’s a sayonara already and Japanese are really kind people…. When we went back to gather our things, and walking out of the school, we could see all of them lining up to shake hands with you and there were….. 70+++ hands !!!

some of the blue 'YAKUZA' lolz

So yup, feeling grateful to them we shook hands , boarded the bus and we left….. Along the way, Mr Ronnie Tan told us that He was impressed with our performance and decided to reward us; KARAOKE ON THE HOUSE ! haha at first we thought it was merely a joke, but when we reached the hotel dining room…. Wow, it was really there…. The karaoke machine, the same machine that was used by the other patrons in the next dining room…. At first everyone was shy….. then we began to volunteer each other…. First in the row, ARIYANI singing DANCING QUEEN ~ woohooo bravo !
Next, Ms Annie Tan , singing an English song…. Quite an old song…. yay!!!!
ms annie tan singing

Then Hiromi take up the mike and delivered us a Japanese song ~~~ wooo everyone was enchanted by that

Hiromi singing

Then its my turn, but 1st song was a DUET , ARIYANI and me, singing YESTERDAY ONCE MORE ….. just an applause…..

DUET!

The Duet was not really a duet, because I joined in when she was singing halfway, so it was not counted and the audience requested me to sing them another song….. I trembled, because I rarely listen to English songs. I only listen to JAPANESE songs,but the song that I wanted to sing was not there, so I flipped through the song book and saw a ‘light’ , the song “ UPTOWN GIRL “ choo looking….. I smiled and take the stage….

but before that, Hiromi DUET with Natasha singing a song.... i kinda forgotten hehe~~~

When I sing, everyone had a good laugh…. Yah I know, the lively song was changed into a monotone,classical olden songs…..

Uptown girl! even mr ronnie tan was laughing all the way

~my singing causes the audience to be like this~ horrible isn't it?

After singing, haha quite glad, received applause and some even threw 5 yen coins at me muhahahahaha luckily not tomato!
Then Mr Gary Tan also did not want to lose, he braised himself up and deliver his best song : STAYING ALIVE, everyone enjoyed the song haha ….that we even did a style…. Pointing sidewards while yelling STAYING ALIVE !!!

Well after that, we had our presentation and yup, ONSEN~~~~~ THEN not time to sleep yet !

Mr ronnie tan has prepared a karaoke lounge for us and wooo hoo.... we sang and sang and sang till the midnight oil burns out!

my japanese name: A-U-IN

2007-11-13T17:35:00.000+08:00

Day 4
QWSS JAPAN TRIP JUNE 2007

“yawn…” woke up at 6.45am, feeling great , because I can wake up on my own…. You know, for the past 2 days, I so called ‘disturbed ‘ my room mates with my handphone alarm clock…. Yup I began to know, that the alarm could only be functional to me if it was set as my favourite song, “NANATSU NO UMI WO WATARU KAZE NO YOU NI by Rina Auichi & Yuuka Saegusa”
Morning after breakfast, went to visit KAWAGUCHI GREEN CENTRE, a Chrysanthemum plantation and yup, something quite special, we’re on TV !!!! when we reached the Chrysanthemum plantation, from the bus , we could already see a TV-crew carrying his gigantic video camera….. lolz, we adjusted ourselves, trying to look as neat as possible...before walking down the red-carpet =D

Well haha, after a brief welcome and explaination by the owner, we got a chance to help plant the chrysanthemum plants . Well, all of us planted around…..5000 I think…..Then, as a refreshment, we’re given soda drink… what made the drink unique was the special type of bottle…. It has a marble inside it …wooohoo…..of course, majority of us kept the bottle and soon, we bid goodbye to them before boarding the bus….

When it was noon, we stopped by a park called KURIHARA NATIONAL PARK for our lunch…. Well for lunch, we had ONIGIRI WITH GREENTEA….. quite simple but it could made your stomach bloated in no time ! oh yes, the moment we reached the park, it was a wonderful sight, the green trees, blue sky…… and the chirping of the birds that were relaxing…… There was even an eagle !

On the park, there was a special treat for us, the slide ! yup feeling like we had been thrown back to our childhood time, most of us went to give it a shot ! the teachers even joined the fun ! I’ve got the video too !!!! hilarious….. hahaha but so sorry a few of us had agreed to only use the teachers-related videos for personal entertainment…soo I can’t release it here….

After a fun in the park, we headed back to the bus to leave for KURIHARA-WASHI-TAKEN-KOBO, A wooden paper making factory….yup the owner named MR. HIKOJI KUGA( the 7th generation)… the Japanese paper is called “SIZUNOME JAPANESE PAPER” and the raw materials needed are a paper mulberry & clean spring water… the history of this paper traces back to the end of EDO ERA,(about a century ago) can you believe it !!!! I was like “wow”
Mr HIKOJI, spoke the ancient Japanese language, as claimed by our guide…. So now we know that Japanese also have their own dialect, just like Chinese….. and…. He’s quite a nice guy, he let us to have a hands on experience…… and at that time, the tv-crew were filming us……=) Meanwhile, outside there were a few people looking at us…. The guide told us that those were the villagers, including the Head village chief…. After that, while waiting for others to get their turn, we went to the field opposite and discovered …… clover plants !!!!! so some of us, went to hunt for four-leaved clover….. including ME !!!!! haha actually I almost gave up, because there were myriads of three-leaved clovers….. but aha ! found one !!! jumped with joy, even to the extent that I took a few pics of it…then, safe-keep it inside my notebook, which still there up to now…….
After that, Mr HIKOJI gave us the Japanese papers as a parting gift….what a nice guy ! yup, took a shot with him…. And we all boarded the bus…
Then, we visited ISSAKO-SANNO-ROMAN_KAN, a museum ,well we got to see the artifacts of ancient japan.
Yup, then that’s all for the day… quite simple, spent most of our days in the bus, travelling….. while on the bus, we’re doing our presentation, but in my group, only one guy was doing it…. Which I felt was not fair, because the presentation was meant to be a group work, not individual stuff !!! so in the end, our presentation was filled with English grammatical errors, vocab errors , everything !!!!despite we had sec 3 english band 1 students in our group…. HECK LAR !!!!! btw,I am not that ‘guy’…..and to that guy, you know yourself well….

DAY 3
QWSS JAPAN TRIP 2007
I was enjoying my time in my ‘lala land’ when suddenly I felt someone tapping me.
When I opened my eyes, it was ALAN who did that. When I looked below, I saw TINGWEI AND DANIAL looking up, complaining “ HEY DEY, YOUR ALARM WENT OFF ALREADY AND STILL YOU CAN’T WAKE UP...INSTEAD, WE’RE THE ONE WHO WAKE UP FIRST…”
Lolz , yup it was true, I set my handphone alarm clock the night before, an hour and a half before the time whereby we were supposed to report for our breakfast; 6.45AM. Then, DANIAL,TINGWEI AND I put on our yukata and proceeded down to the onsen. Along the way, I managed to greet everyone that I walked passed, including the receptionist guy& gal and the complete strangers…
“OHAYO GOZAIMAS” ,I said, while bowing at the same time.
Soon, we reached the bathing area and *censored* reason: ‘lightsabres….’
After a comfortable onsen-ing, we proceeded up to our room to change to our usual clothing and headed down straight to the Restaurant… mmm…yummy…ITADAKIMASU!!! our breakfast was specially prepared for us, and there’re sashimi,unfamiliar foods and a bucket full of rice…….

breakfast !!!!

Then, after a delicious meal, mr Gary Tan instructed us to put on our Jeans as we’re going to do river studies deep inside the forest. When we went back to our respective room, we found out that our futon*(Japanese mattress) had been cleared, and everything inside the room had been tidied up…[room service]WOW, Japanese are surely very responsible people...not mentioning, I left my handphone on the the table, and it was left untouched…..(in other country, most probably it would have disappeared). Then, I wondered whether to bring my slippers along or not.. but, later after a grave debate up in my head, I decided not to…and I just wore my track shoes,put on my backpack and proceeded out…
When we gathered at the hotel lobby, the hotel staff passed us a plastic bag full of sandwiches and an orange drink[ QOO] The moment I walked out of the hotel, brrrrzzz its very cooling sensation, the breeze was very refreshing….

First time seeing real snow in my life !!!!

Our bus driver was indeed a very nice and friendly guy, the moment we got up the bus, he kept greeting us “ GUDU MORNING” and I just smiling and greeted him back. Soon we set off to the river.Along the way when I took out my handphone, I was surprised “ BATTERY CELL, 1 bar…” despite I charged it the night before. Soon, the battery flatted… sianz….
When the bus stopped , all of us alighted with our backpack and followed the gently sloping path that led us to the river… it was quite a rough path I would say, the ground were uneven, luckily that day it did not rain, else we would be walking on the puddle of mud…After a laborious work, finally we managed to discern the river from a distance and we impatient to get there… when it was just a stone throw away,

we were paused for a while as we need to cross a small river, whereby there were no proper path, only uneven small stones and the river flowing… however, we managed to cross it, by stepping on the stone one after another.
The river was very beautiful, the stream of water flowing continuously, the green surroundings and the sound of birds chirping we felt like we’re transported into the other world…. Yup it was completely different from our daily urban experience. Despite my hometown was in Developing country, whereby the scenes of natural areas were common in the suburb areas, I was still amazed my this scene as it was completely different experience….

We began to start work, after the briefing by the teachers and the distribution of the Geography equipment… My group; DANIAL,TINGWEI,XIAODAN,SHAHENA,AISYAH,AND I was selected to be the first to do the measuring of the gradient,whereby we had to use a tool called the ‘leveler’ to measure the difference in height and a 20centimetre ruler. At first, I just let Danial and TINGWEI to went in, as they did brought along their sandals… and they claimed the the water was freezing cold… lolz …so it was true that earlier, mr TAN went into the river and quickly came out as it was cold…
So, up and dry, I assisted XIAO DAN,AISYAH AND SHAHEENA to record down their reading. However, after a while, they still could not come out with a reading and Mr tan told us to send in another member… So, since I’m the only guy who’s dry, and it is impossible for XiaoDan to get down into the river as she was carrying the laptop,Shaheena and Aisyah, were helping Xiaodan, so I volunteered myself… Indeed, the water was freezing cold, and I almost lost my balance as the river current was quite strong…. Soon, we began to take the reading… Then, we were told to measure the depth of the river by holding a measuring tape across the river and one guy in the middle, which was me, holding a stick and a measuring tape to measure the depth of the river every 20cm in order to achieve accurate reading….yeah its quite an experience….soon after river cross-sectional area measurement, we proceeded to the speed of the current of the river and finally, the nature studies, whereby we had to snap a few shots of the plants and describe about them… its quite hard for us, as most of the topic we’re covering for the river would be the Pure Geography syllabus….
Then finally lunch came….mmmm yummy, we ate our sandwiches, funny thing is that one of the sandwiches contain mashed potatoes…. Mr tan said;” Bread, contain glucose already…. Then add another source of glucose; MASHED POTATO….lolz it was the funniest joke at that time…. Well, during our lunch, we could see the QOO bottles floating in the water, yup all of us purposely put them there, because the water was very cold and it will sort of ‘cool’ our drink.
After lunch, we snapped our group photo and we made our way back to the bus…. We had to hike the gently sloping ground,yeah its quite tiring…

group photos

After the tiring river studies, we returned to the hotel to change our clothes, as most us were wet… well at the hotel, we were given 30mins to rest and changed… in our room(guys) we played card games…and watched POKEMON on the television…Soon the time’s up and we gathered at the hotel lobby…. Our next destination was the town of KURIKOMA,

Please watch the beta 1 video made by me; giving you a virtual view of kurikoma town

its quite an experience for us, because this time, we’re allowed to roam around the town freely…. Only to meet when the sun was going to set…. Well,first we alighted at the BRANCH OFFICE OF KURIHARA , SOME SORT OF TOWN CENTRE…..equipped only with a Japanese language map of the whole town, we set off…..our objective was to identify the reason for the town growth, in other words, the reason for the development of the town…..

FLOWERS THAT BLOOM in early summer

Actually it was quite hard at first, as we had a different opinion…one group member stressed on to go that way, while when the others were still discussing.In the end, we finally could come down to an agreement…. We walked around the town, found out that the reason for the town is because of the cross sign…

and many more.......

Are they Churches? Nope, they are not….they’re pharmacies… in other words, the town grew because of the good health facilities…. Lolz….By the way, I also wonder how the pharmacist will survive, as if there’re lots of pharmacies, isn’t that they will find it hard to make a living? I mean you know, if one shop sell the medicine cheaper than the others, that stall will be occupied with customers right???
Then, we even encountered such an odd vending machine, the battery-vending machine….. Battery !!! can you imagine that????

Hahaz, looks like we brought along our ‘southeast Asian bad habit’ , which was….. Jay-walking on the road….somemore, we jay-walked in front of the police station, right in front of the policeman’s eyes, who was standing in front of his post….. cool right???? Luckily we were only being adviced not to do that again…..he even know that we’re from Singapore and surprisingly, HE’S ABLE TO SPEAK ENGLISH !!!!, [by the way, something to add on; I’m very impressed to see the policeman, clad in his smart uniform standing still infront of his post…. Which other country’s policemen would be able to do such thing???? Standing for few hours with hands on his back…. I bet other country’s policemen would have either brought along chair to sit or wander to other places to satisfy his ‘want’] such an honorable thing, the Japanese……
Oh ya, along our way round the town, we often walked pass other group…. We’d just say hi to them as we walked pass each other…. Haha then, after sometime, we met Mr Gary Tan and Ms Annie Tan…. They recommend us to visit a Café called “TIMES CAFÉ”,

which sells cakes and beverages.They also say that their cake tasted good and at an affordable price….so, after getting a rough location of where the café is, we headed to search for the café….. Yup after much hard work, we found it…. The café was actually quite small, with a big table and a few small tables…. Surprisingly, we saw the teachers; MR JUSTIN, MS LEONG, MR RONNIE TAN(our guide), even MR GARY TAN and MS ANNIE TAN had overtook us despite we just met a few moments ago…
Instead of sitting down and eat, A few members from my group had decided to continue roaming the town, while some wanted to eat the cake… so in the end its 50:50 The group members that are going to continue the roaming of town were only left; TINGWEI, XIAODAN AND ME…. Well its quite harder as our manpower had decreased, but still at least we managed to obtain some information…..

Soon the Sun was on its way towards the western horizon and we’re making our way back to the rendezvous area….Along the way , I finally managed to see JAPANESE YOUNG GIRLS IN KURIKOMA…..they were cycling as well…..yeah !!!! finally…… (YUP IT’S TRUE THAT I ‘OOGLE’ AT YOUNG JAPANESE GIRLS)
This is the proof:

CHIOBU !!!!
.

queensway teacher.... walking down the street

MR & MS TAN

(WHOOPS !!! i'm not the one taking this pics)

This is because in that town, town of KURIKOMA, majority of them are the elderly….. the young ones had gone into the city to look for jobs -> sad =(
Oh ya one thing about the town of Kurikoma that I wish to treasure will be that; the policeman in that town always carry out their patrol…. I managed to see one,But this policeman was handicapped, yet he still did his patrolling duty on his wheelchair… I was really touched by that, because even though he know that he’s handicapped, yet he still did not want to abandon his duty….a very responsible and honorable person……

That night was our very first presentation for this trip…. It was quite well done for my group and during the presentation, the 4 teachers (two of them are HOD )….[3 OF THEM ARE ENGLISH TEACHERS,TEACHING THE SEC 4 ENGLISH BANDS] were paying very close attention to our contents and the English language that we’re using….. so the presentation for this trip is much harder, as you need to focus on both content and the language usage…….
Well I quite pity the sec 2, because they did not know what’s going on as this trip is targeted actually for the upper sec, so as to help to give them information…..So in the end, they had to re-do the whole slide…..
After a very tiring presentation, around 11.25pm, we’re allowed to take a bath….. light’s out at 12.30pm…… yup went to bath and ONSEN-ing ~~~~
After that, went back to room and sleep, what a very tiring day…..

QWSS JAPAN TRIP DAY 2

2007-06-24T22:19:00.000+08:00

(Narita airport: passenger's arrival hall)

DAY 2
QWSS JAPAN TRIP 2007

The time was 12.00am …yet, the light inside the plane were still shining brightly… the air-stewardess began pushing around the snack trolley and asked what we wanted to have for our drink… Well, I still chose apple juice to be my midnight drink, despite knowing that I did not bring my toothbrush set along with me into the passenger’s cabin…. Had a hard time brushing my teeth , using only my fingers…. Besides the choice of drinks, we’re given a packet of sweeten nuts each, which I forced myself not to eat… Yeah watching movie…..until 1am in the morning and then cabin light were dimmed, that time, I tried to fall asleep…but I couldn’t, firstly I am not used to sleeping inside a ‘moving’ object and some more, my seats were still around 90 degree(straight)…But as time passed by, I finally dozed off….
I opened my eyes, the plane were still flying…. And I looked around , only to see that all of passengers were asleep… I wanted to go toilet, but Tingwei was obstructing the way, I tried to wake him up, but he’s still sleeping peacefully…. So no choice, gotta jump over him… well quite hard, but luckily thanks to my ‘compressible’ body, I managed to…Later returned to my seat and sleep again….
When the next time I opened my eyes, outside the windows, the sun had already risen, the whole clouds were very bright… but when I looked at my watch…. Surprised….. Only 4am in the morning??? And the sun had already risen like the time when we’re usually doing our reading period after the flag-raising ceremony…. Then… went to toilet again…after that, decided not to sleep anymore… continued to watch the movie DORORO….
At around 06.00am, almost everyone had already woke up…and we’re having our breakfast….. My choice of drink is MILK!!! MOOOOO……well the meal was delicious…. But we had to eat it quickly, for that by 6.30am, the air-stewardess had started to collect the tray, regardless whether we had finished our food or not….
15 minutes before our landing, the pilot instructed us to look to our left…guess what? It’s the famous Mount Fuji…. And we managed to view only part of it….the peak of Mount Fuji which was white in colour… ..Not long after that, from the live-view camera, we could see the landing pad was coming closer and closer to the screen as time passed………and finally………TOUCHDOWN! The plane landed at Narita Airport…..after the plane had taxed, all of us proceeded out…. I switched on my phone equipped with starhub prepaid card…yup…I had a signal…. It’s the local Japan Telecommunication operator; VODAFONE…. Then I got a message from starhub, wishing me to enjoy my trip and reminding me that I could use my phone normally just like how I used it in Singapore…but each outgoing sms is very very very expensive…. $1.50~$1.60 (my 600+free sms were useless) after a while had to send around 2 messages to inform my parents that I had reached Japan and at the same time, told them that I would send sms only if needed….(in fact i nvr sms-ed at all after that)
So…all of us proceeded to the immigration checkpoint…and it was a very long queue that we were able to say hi to each other for a repetition of 5 times…. At that time…whoops a girl said that she had left her monkey in the plane…actually the teachers told the girl to ‘give up’ the monkey already, due to time constraint…but since the queue was very long, then she was allowed to return to the plane to fetch her ‘monkey’…

“Japanese people are very friendly and polite”…that is what most people claimed”
Yup, I agree with it totally… when it was my turn, I approached the immigration officers and surprisingly, he greeted me “OHAYO GOZAIMAS” which means “good morning” I was stunned by his politeness and quickly greet him also in Japanese…while bowing at the same time…XD
(Narita Airport:baggage collection depot)

(Narita airport: Passenger meeting hall)

(Collecting our baggage)
Then after that, we went to collect our baggage….then we had our toilet break… yup I really like the way the Japanese set up their toilet…. The washing basin, there were ‘water temperature adjuster’ to allow you to wash your hand with either cold or hot water….wow just think about it??? Which country will give such a unique toilet….After doing our business, we proceeded out and saw a guy…holding a paper written “QUEENSWAY SECONDARY SCHOOL” …. That guy was our tour guide named , MR RONNIE TAN….. After the teachers and him doing handshakes and after doing a head-count, all of us proceeded to the coach to head for our next stop…KURIHARA CITY… and by the way, the weather outside is very cooling, just like inside an air-con room….

(Meeting Mr Ronnie Tan, our tour guide for the entire Japan Trip)

Inside the bus, he began to do a proper greeting…he introduced to us that he was formerly a Singaporean, now living in Japan already….then he began to give us some information about Japan…for eg. The Japanese are very honest people…..how do we greet people….the steps in making purchases in Japanese Cashier….etc…and of course he began to share his life story….Some more, he also told us that the whole KURIHARA CITY citizens would like to invite us to attend the welcome party…..
His funniest joke: WE PRONOUNCE MC-DONALD IN ENGLISH… JAPANESE CALLED IT “ MAH-KE-DOH-NAL-KE…”

(Mr ronnie Tan doing his introduction)
Meanwhile, Majority of us had already dozed off, partly due to that we did not get enough sleep above the plane…..but I was still awake, since I am the type of person who can’t take a nap…..and also Mr Ronnie tan also told us that we will be passing JAPAN’S DISNEYLAND soon…. and most of us woke up and get cameras were ready in our hand…Soon Disneyland was in sight and all of us busily take the pictures….after that some returned back to their sleep….

[Bypassing Japan disneyland... yenqin are you interested?=) ]

( Japan's 'rotating ride' )

while ARIYANI,XIAODAN,DANIAL,TINGWEI,GARY AND I began to do our crazy stuffs, which was to say hi to the other driver….lolz… I could not stop laughing whenever I recalled Ariyani waved to the truck driver and the truck driver waved to her back ,while at the same time he was laughing like mad like that !!! HAHAZ, Imagine could this ever happened at the HIGHWAY ??? Some drivers who were the ‘serious’ type remained unflinched…
Around noon, we stopped by the gas station for our toilet break….lolz ..what a cool breeze the moment we stepped out of the coach….we headed to the toilet and changed into our school uniform….then went to the mini market to purchase some snacks and drinks…(By the way the gas station’s mini market is not the same as what you used to see in Singapore’s…it is very big….) Then this was the first time we encountered the unique Japan….. first was VENDING MACHINES…. THERE ARE LOTS OF VENDING MACHINES ALIGNED NEXT TO EACH OTHERS…. Not

mentioning also the automated Canteen whereby you had to make your purchases on the machine and the machine will issue you a receipt, which you had to pass it to the cashier for your food to be cooked…Anyway, we did not eat at the canteen…we just went to the Supermarket and grabbed some bites… I purchased a 1L mineral water + 1L “Pocari Sweat” …their machine was damn cool…. The cash register automatically eject out the required coins while the paper money were being drawn by the cashier-lady manually…. One most surprising part was that the cashier lady counts the money in-front of me…. 1000,2000,3000…… plus 100,50…. YEN* wah lao, with that, I don’t need to double check the money again…(which I often had to in SINGAPORE-as I dun trust fully the cashier) and one thing about JAPANESE, after they had scanned your goods and said your total purchases, you will be prompted to place your cash in a tray…after you put your cash there, they did not immediately took the money…. They waited for you for a while then they would collect your money….what a nice people…..
Then we returned to the bus and continued our journey to Kurihara City… at around 1 pm, we stopped again to have our lunch…. At a typical Japanese restaurant…. I ordered the most expensive meal in the menu… a set of cold noodle, rice….beef…etc…. 1400yen ++++ ($17.72) it was OISHI…… DELICIOUS !!! and luckily Some of us were fast-eaters, so we went down to the mini shop to look around…. Yup they sold a local stuff, a something like dharma doll….but it had a cute face picture painted on it….
Then we went back to the bus to continue our journey….after a long bus ride, entertained by MR Ronnie TAN who shared his life experience in Japan, told stories about JAPANàTHE 47 SAMURAIS….. update us with the latest news happening in Japan, etc…..Finally when we bypass Sendai City, he informed us that at around 3pm we will be reaching KURIHARA DISTRICT, MIYAGI Prefecture…. Soon after our coach exited the highway toll, we finally began to see the Japanese town….Shopping district..KURIHARA SHOPPING DISTRICT….We were given 45 mins to roam a supermarket called “ MAXVALU” while at the same time, we were instructed to break into our planned groups and to gather some data about factors on why this district are successful or not successful in attracting tourists….which falls under our sec 4 Geography elective syllabus…”TOURISM”
Our TEAMS ARE MADE UP OF;
~DANIAL
~ME
~TINGWEI
~XIAODAN
~SHAHEENA
~AISYAH

(we were browsing 'hentai' magazines !!XD)

Instead of using the time to do shopping, all of us went to roam around the supermarket and even around the area around the supermarket to search for the factors…..we managed to noted some; such as a casino….an inn….. an entertainment store…etc…..and also we took the pictures… Then comes the funny part…..
We were inside the supermarket and we saw a 100 YEN SHOP…. Browsed the things and then suddenly danial pointed to us…..” HEY HOW COME GOT BRA HERE ARH???” immediately Tingwei, XiaoDan and I looked at him and laughed …..XD PERVERT SIA…..HAHAZ
Ariyani ‘s style of asking “how much is this thing?” in Japanese… is by hand gesture… first show the item to the cashier, then raise your palm vertically one by one…then point the signal ok(pointing finger stick to your thumb)…. Then the cashier lady nodded and told her the price… in YEN* … lolz we never expected it to happen.....
After a while, we went back to our dropping point and waited for the bus to come…when the bus came, all of us boarded it and headed to the town center, which was just around ten stones throw away …. Meanwhile inside the bus, all of us tried to make full use of our time to adjust our ties, trying to look as smart as possible especially with our purple BLAZERZZZZ!!!
When the bus stopped, we looked outside the window and saw there was a banner that SAYS “WELCOME TO KURIHARA” wow…. All of us were very elated….and we alighted the bus and went inside the building….
THANK YOU FOR ROLLING OUT THE RED CARPET FOR US,GUYS
As we made our way inside,we were walking along the red carpet and the whole staffs inside stood at both sides of the corridor and clapped hard… we felt really honoured….just like if we’re the president or some ‘important’ people….Soon we were given lists of our host families and we waited for them to prepare the ballroom…..first, the host families were told to go in first and sat according to the table number allocated…. Tingwei and I were buddies for the home-stay and when we sat at our table, there were no one…. While others…their host families were already seated before them…. After the playing of national anthem of both countries, opening speech by the mayor of kurihara and ms leslie leong…. the show carries on…. Not long after that, our host family came with his children…. We began introducing each other… I started the conversation with him by saying “ WATASHIWA ARWIN…. YOU?POINTED AT HIM* “ after hearing he said that his name was Shiratori-san, I said, “ YOROSHIKU…”(which means nice to meet you” … of course I did the same for his children too… a boy named “KYOTARO” AND HIS SISTER NAMED”NATUKO”
Well the feast was really grand…. Ballroom standard !!! no joke !!!!...there were even SOBA*(JAPANESE NOODLE) … unlimited flow of ICE-CREAMS….that We ate until our stomach filled...and after that we bid goodbye to each other….Some funny thing happen to me and TingWei again… as we were walking out of the ballroom,along the corridor, the staffs were clapping again…while both of us were busy greeting them “SAYONARA”(which means bye-bye) we were so engrossed in saying sayonara that we walked out the wrong door…instead of heading outside, we went into their restaurants… when we realized it,we quickly came out and bid sayonara again…. The staffs were laughing at us and we were laughing too…..then we boarded the bus and headed to our hotel…. Our hotel were located on the slopes of the mountain…it took around 40minutes to travel there… while the excitement followed us, Mr Ronnie tan said that we will still be served ‘free’ dinner by the hotel… and of course the whole bus was like saying “ HUH????(HAHAZ SOUNDED LIKE ALICIA*) “ then heeding the teachers’ advice of being polite by not to reject the hotel’s kindness,we accepted to eat the meal…. In fact, none of us finished the meal, except…. The sashimi was hardly seen being left on the plate…
We reached the hotel finally ….the hotel is called “HEILSAM KURIKOMA” when we walked into the hotel lobby, we saw a signboard “ WELCOME QUEENSWAY SECONDARY” wow… our school was very famous….after getting our keys, we headed to our respective room to settle our luggages and rucksacks, lucky that my room only have 4 people ; DANIAL ,ME,TINGWEI, and ALAN…. Then we put on our YUKATA*(BATHROBE) and headed down to the dining hall… wow… everyone was wearing Yukata…. Lolz….All of us felt like we’re suddenly transformed into Japanese in an instance….btw The Yukata was very revealing…. If you sat wrongly, you would end up revealing what’s beneath the bathrobe, which happened to some of the boys…. Some of Our underwear was being seen clearly … The girls however were smarter, I think they knew that such things would happen that they wore their yukata on top of their clothes, which means that they were wearing 2 layer of clothes….
Good thing was that MR GARY TAN said that since it was our first night in japan, he would call off that day’s presentation, so as to let us enjoy the onsen*(hot spring) in one conditions: When the teachers were onsen-ing, the students were barred from entering the onsen*…..
After a delicious dinner finally came my favourite…. “ONSEN”*(Hot-spring) …. Yay! A few of us went into the male onsen….inside there were a large space…and we were supposed to go in naked… at first we were reluctant…. Because we were shy….. not getting used to it…. But in the end, someone said that later NS also must see each other naked what…so all of us decided to Strip naked and ran inside the bathing area !!!! after cleaning ourselves up, we took a dip inside the onsen… at first when you put your feets in, it will be very hot…after a while, our body temperature had adjusted to the water temperature and we dipped inside…. It was very comfortable that I could not even describe it merely with just words….. it gave you a nice feeling…. Arrrh…..!
Then after that, we went back to our room…. By the way in JAPAN, their Room toilet only consist of a TOILET BOWL !!!! we prepared our slides for the presentation tml until around 12.00am in the morning…and we slept….
Tingwei and Danial slept at the FUTON*(JAPANESE MATRESS) while I slept at the 2nd level western-style bed …. OYASUMINASAI&* GOOD NIGHT !!!!!!

DAY 1 JAPAN TRIP

2007-06-23T14:02:00.000+08:00

QWSS JAPAN TRIP 2007
DAY 1

Our meeting place were at Changi airport terminal 1 at around 9pm in the evening....
However, most of us were early, we reached the airport about 15 minutes earlier... Then, we did our check-in... The airport staff kept questioning me about my surname, which is not stated in my passport itself...and the fact is that i am surname-less...while for danial's, he's kept being asked on why his name is very long : DANIAL MIRZA RAZZY BIN ABDUL RAZAK... LMAO...

Oh yes, by the way there were lots of parents sending their children off ....There were also some teachers too...Oh ya, i managed to see MRS TAN (Mr Gary Tan's wife)...lolz...
After checking-in which was about 9.35pm, we were given time to do bid goodbye to our family members until 10.00pm.... while as for some of us,whose parents had already left or we came alone,we chit-chatted with each other and at the same time,we learned a few japanese languages from the tour agency's staff...

(a few of us before the departure)
Soon, time had passed and we procceded in to the immigration checkpoints... in which after that, we were given time to roam around the airport and reached the gate by 10.45pm...
Tingwei, danial and I walked together and instead of roaming around the airport, we took our time walking to the gate...while joking around the trevelator* (moving belt) well the gate was very very far !!!!! we were the first to reach there and therefore with the remaining time, we played UNO with poker cards.... yup it was fun... soon, we were instructed to check-in... and there's a person caught for having scissors in his hand-held bag... and he had to give up the ownership of the scissors...

While waiting for the business class passengers to board the plane, some of us went to make good use the free-airport phone call....
then we boarded the plane...

It was my first experience boarding a high class plane..."ANA" and firstly, the three section seats amazed me.... Then at around 11.25pm, the plane gradually made its way to the runway and it took off.....

Every seat has a mini screen infront of it, we were free to use the remote according to our preferences..we could watch movies, short clips, play games, listen to musics or even look at the surrounding using the live-camera....I began pressing the remote and yup ...watched a movie..... its a Japanese movie called DORORO .... quite an interesting movie.... soon the next day came..when the time struck 12am sharp in the morning...

2007-06-18T18:33:00.000+08:00

Ahhh.....oh hello i'm very tired now... Reached Singapore at 12 am today... then reached home 2 am... then just now, went to school for English remedial lessons and Malay Oral Skills.... Well after 1 week of holidays in Japan, i was reluctant to come back to Singapore.... But anyway, holiday's over... now its time to get back to work again... sigh* with chunks of homeworks waiting for me....

anyway, for the next few posts, i will be talking about our 1 week in Japan... i am not writing it now, because i am very exhausted...
oh yes, some brief information:

-At Japan, we stayed for 4 days in Resort Hotel " HEILSAM KURIKOMA", 1 day at the Local Japanese house
-GRR.....I LOSE 4 KG !!!!! BY JUST SOAKING IN THE ONSEN*(HOT SPRING) TWICE A DAY FOR DURATION OF 30 MINUTES...
-The whole citizen of the town welcomed us, including the Mayor of Kurihara, and good thing was that the whole queenswayans going on this trip were featured in the local television for 2 days, 1 day for the JAPAN CHANNEL (NHK) and 3 days of being reported in the Local Newspapers

Yup, that's all basically the most important things in my mind right now.... well from tommorow onwards(most probably), i will start to put in the entry day by day as according to what i had written down in the diary...

whoops ..... just few hours to go before leaving singapore....

well today morning is quite usual for me, woke up at 7am in the morning, then after getting ready, rushed out to go somewhere....

Then, went to orchard, hoping to get myself a new wallet as the old one had gone out of shape, with holes in every corner... Well, maybe its the fact that i'm a 'lousy' shopper... not only because i do not know how to bargain professionally , and i don't even know how to find the correct shop...

I always thought that wallet is usually made up of leather... and leather is associated with bags... therefore i went to shops that sell bags ... but i can't find any at all..... i wandered from TAKASHIMAYA, TO LUCKY PLAZA, TO PARAGON, TO TANGS, TO WISMA ATRIA....
Then a thought came to me that wallets are usually available at clothes department store....and are at the cashier's counter.....

But i can only think of the Metro shop in paragon.... so i went there... yes they have wallets but the price..... can already allow you to purchase 1 Creative mp3 player .... can you imagine that ???

But luckily, i remembered that there was a wallet for teenagers, be it boys or girls.... BillaBong ....and i managed to stumble into ISETAN and good thing they have it... well its good that i managed to find what i am looking for, guess how long i took?? around 12 to 3 something.... 3 HOURS ++++++ haiz..........

__________________________________________

Oh yes i also managed to get small Japan Yen notes.... yup i went to the money changer... he gave me have the exchange of 1 dollar singapore to 78yen.... with a loss of 1 yen.... as rate in newspaper today is 79yen.... but funny thing is when he asked me to hand over the amt of money i wished to change...

i did the same thing, a piece 50 Singapore Dollar note.... the moment he hold me money, i could see that his hand is reaching for his calculator, probably he's trying to lower down the exchange rate since i am only changing a few amount of money.....
it is also because as his hand was reaching for his calculator, he kept saying ;

" 50 dollars arh, 50 dollars arh, 50 dollars arh"

Yup luckily i had calculated the amount of YEN that i would get before i handed him the money.... I said to him... 3900 YEN....... in the end i get quite a good deal.... Maybe in the future the uncle will surely set the rate back to 1 dollar to 76 yen.... but i am very thankful to the uncle..=D

yup its 6 pm now, i gotta be ready.... ok bye bye....

=) YEN.... YEN....

2007-06-09T23:26:00.000+08:00

hello, yup, today's quite boring... until evening time whereby i launched off from my seats....
well basically today i did my homeworks... Then in the evening, went out to do the necessary things, in which one of them was to convert my Sg $ to Japan Yen....Before, i had already asked my parents to change it for me in Back there in Medan as i thought that it will be cheaper as there are less loss during conversion: rupiah to yen straight rather than rupiah to singapore dollar then to yen... But guess what, my parents told me that back there they did only have 10000 yen notes, no small changes.... Therefore, Just now i tried to get small changes.

It did not give a resounding answer.... I went to chinatown as there was a 'famous' Moneychanger(Located near LIM CHEE GUAN BAK QUA STALL) that gives the friendliest deal in town...It was not successful also because they gave the reason liKE" we only have 'BIG' notes no small changes"

I had even approached every moneychanger stalls that existed in Chinatown... all gave the same reason " no small changes"
But still, i suspects that they have.... its just that they are not willing to change it for me... because guess how much am i changing????

50 BUCKS #$%@^#

Cool doesn't it! i'm the only bizarre guy who wanted to change 50 Bucks only.....
Of course during that time, i came across some funny expressions, which was surely due to what i was trying to do....
_________________
i approached the moneychanger stall, where there the two worker sitting outside the cubicle.....
"OI UNCLE, HOW MUCH JAPAN YEN CAN I GET FOR 1 DOLLAR SINGAPORE?"

after a few seconds punching the calculator, he turned to me and said " 79 YEN"

well the fact is this stall gave the best rate for that instances, while the so called "famous" stall gave 78.6YEN

so, i just drew out a 50 Bucks notes from my pocket, held it by the two ends while facing him. His smile gradually turned into a cold stare.... He raised his eyebrows.... and asked me," Is that all you got?"

I said yes and at that particular instances, he threw his face from me and dileberately ignored me.... SHIOK !!!

__________________________

Another incident was when i was walking away from the money changer. As you all had known, i 'jumped' from one moneychanger to another.... There was a time when someone tapped my shoulder... I turned and i saw an old uncle, who was the customer of the previous money changer that i had visited before....
He said that if i wished to change to YEN i should consider that stall instead....when i asked how much he changed, he said 40k YEN... Then i understand that it is possible because he must had been given 10000YEN notes....

While what i am looking now is small notes like 1000 Yen because as adviced by the teachers, to refrain from bringing 10000Yen notes as they may not have change for that amount... sigh* its quite a nice experience after all.... K... cya good night......

finally !!!!

2007-05-13T13:39:00.000+08:00

woo hooo ! finally... it has been a long time ... lots of things happenned and i wished to blog 2 days ago, but the blogger kept having problem and its written "technical problem " hehe but managed to get some help .. lets start ..

Mid-year examination.. well tml will be our last paper... and i could say for this examination, i faced a big difficulties... it was because my maternal grandmother came to singapore.... almost all the time she would invite her friends over and Gamble !!! gambling was not the main problem, but they generated the unneeded noises that were unpleasant to the ears, such as vulgarities... my room's door were forbidden to be closed which caused me to be unable to concentrate on my revision... Not only that also, my chair were being snatched away from me for the gamblers to use it as their "snack& drinks tray" .... so with that, i could not use my a proper table to study and i had to sit and do my works on the floor...

So problem's had been mentioned... lets see.... oh yes i remembered, on friday,after the physics paper 1, we played NE Games which involve answering question and building infrastructure.... Well, i faced difficulties for some questions... and after first try, managed to get 300k... and amazingly, after 4th try, i managed to hit 600k !!! haha of course with the help of Teck ann to answer 2 of the questions....Anyway, i also get the strategy of the game, besides answering the questions correctly, we also need to devise a strategy... which was to build as many building as possible, so that when the era changes, the assets of the property will rocket up high and thus the asset value will go up as well..since there are three era,(underdeveloped, developed and highly developed)...anyway i enjoyed the game =D

Oh yes, i had one more advice for all of you... especially it applies when you are watching a movie in the cinema... after entering the movie hall, when you find your seat, do not just threw yourself to the comfy-looking seat and relax straight away.. because you need to scrutinize the seat properly first to avoid problem - because yesterday i went to catch "spiderman 3" when i was about to sit down, i saw on my seats, there were a lot of white things- that is sugar-like,except they are opaque and white in colour... Then i began to realize that they are actually dandruffs !!! Man ! because of that i had to sit without laying my head on the seat... as the dandruffs were all sticking there...

The movie i could say its scintillating... and besides that i also learnt something from the movie and its gotta do with someone's feelings.... XD

yup yup, so thats all ... remember about the dandruff alert in cinema !!!

spirited up !!!

2007-04-06T23:11:00.000+08:00

yo ! it has been ages since the last time i blogged.... well, from the day since the last time i blogged, lots of things took place... some i will be talking about it in this post, while some, i will not, for it is too personal =D . Anyway, lets get started...

Firstly, it's about my weakest subject, English.... whenever english is tested, i shall fail no matter in what circumstances, in fact, for semester 1, the paper 2 english common test & composition test, i failed miserably.... No matter how many ways that i had carried out, just to improve my english, They were all fruitless leads.....

It was then, recently, i take the plunge, by choosing the alternative to change my english remedial class... In the new english remedial class, i can already feel the intense aura that gives me the feeling that my english will be assured to improve, guided alongside by the most responsible and experienced teacher....

Therefore, now i had my own campaign; From D7 to A1 ...well it does sound impossible for a fiasco in english to aim for distinction, just like a man who aims to reach the moon when he could not even reach a tree... But, results can't be decided now , can it? I'll be challenging English language.....to see who will reigns....

Oh yes, Saypeng recommended me to watch " PRISON BREAK" on channel 5.... yup saypeng... true to your words, the show is interesting , "good for health"(whoops, i had quoted derek's line ... hehe) ...=D and its beneficial as well( referring to the topic that you told me that time @ the bus stop) .. Thanks a lot.. & from now on, i will not miss any single episode of the show...=D

Next ... Naffa Test, time after time, i've lost my breath more and more faster, I did badly for the 2.4 Km , failed i did not, its just that i took a longer time to complete the circuit....

The 5 stations.. hehe, i'm contented with the results... chin up, i could do 3 times, while the morning before the test, i could not even do any at all.This made me wondering why, but probably its because of the adrenaline rush that lurched momentarily... haha...
then, shuttle run, with shoes on or 'naked' foot or should i say bare footed, made no difference at all; 10.5 sec ....
standing broad jump, with the aid of gently sloping ground, i managed to get a decent score of 206cm.... Then sit up; 43 times and sit& reach 59 cm...

So that's folks, for the things that i can mention here... ok its 12am already... good night...
wait !!! before that, i appreciated that today is a public holiday, because its the day that allowed me to have a good rest since i slept at 11pm the night before and woke up today at 11am ... 11 HOURS sleep.. wow... maybe its because i always sleep for just 4 to 5 hours during my normal routine...

At the same time, i would like to wish everyone who celebrated GOOD FRIDAY or should i say EASTER, A HAPPY EASTER/ GOOD FRIDAY ....

funnay video

2007-03-29T18:01:00.000+08:00

hihi long time no see... well haha basically for this post i won't be writing on anything... maybe its time for some videos.. muhahaha..... well its boring to have a blog that only consisted of words.... oh yes, i had just updated my skin as well...

Anyway, here's the funny video... its about the race between the anime characters... i found it somehow interesting.... enjoy it ! *spoilers: at 02.01 the background is Doraemon anime =D....

the deep wounds that resides within me.....

2007-03-16T23:32:00.000+08:00

.............................
.......
..............
.................................................
..... people do change year by year....

i did.....

doing the unexpected and the most impossible things i had ever did..... dats to stand up against my 2nd 'maternal' aunty....

she was the only one who always make use of you and talk behind your back, should you not do the things as she requested or even when she feels like it....

....before... i let her have it her way.... cos terrified of her to ruin my good 'image' to my other relatives....

but how long can people hold against the pain that resembles knifes that kept stabbing at you??? even the strongest person on earth can't hold it that long...not mentioning me, i'm just an ordinary teenager....

I know... this recent problem had been closed by me already a months ago.... which is the time whereby i stood up against her....and truthfully i had totally forgotten about it already after that... just today, my 1st 'maternal' aunty visited me and gave me a lecture about that incident... this opened back the deep wound that resided inside me....and for the fact that 2nd aunty's word had went across the whole 'maternal' family trees.....

hmph... what possibly could i do? human beings are born this way..... greediness, jealousy, anger, hatred, etc... are some things that can't be excluded from them.... even the purest person in the world still have these negative things inside them....

No choice were given to me...... all i could do is just to face it...... and now, my 'good image' to my relatives had already been shattered.....

So the only way is just to attack her back... not physically for sure cos this 'talkative' person make use of her mouth to prove her innocence, which are exactly the things i hated the most... because its cowardise, since she did not use facts to prove it, rather, she used intimidation and even persuasive way of talking.for eg she kept twisting between the past,whereby you did someting unpleasant last time....and with the current bad things you did....

my strategy lies beneath this quote from Sir isaac newton's final words :

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have
been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and
then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the
great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

2007-03-01T22:20:00.000+08:00

hi everyone ! its had been a long time since i posted... haha its had been a busy day... and it feels good to be healthy again .... man,... having a fever sure no fun at all... headaches... 'heated skins', and much more . . ..

anyway, i'm going to post about the last saturday's flag day.. on 24/2/07 .... sry its kinda belated..

FLAG Day

Did you know what's the meaning of flag day? yup... its the day whereby students or should i say volunteers head down the street to collect donation.... and i was doing it for the first time.

Affiruddin and I teamed up together...and we headed down to Orchard road, knowing that it is the favourite haunt for all donation collectors ..... True to our words, the moment we alighted the bus, which was in front of the Thailand embassy, we could already spot a few students had already taken up the spot... after walking along the street, we finally found our spot.... which was in front of NGEE ANN CITY, directly opposite the PARAGON building...

Of all the people in Orchard road these are the type of people who may likely give donations;

TOURIST

don't mention the Asian tourists... lets just mention the ANG-MOH tourists... mostly they would just ask what is the collection for and said..."hmm... interesting" and good thing was that they would put in only notes , rarely coins !!!

cons; some tourists found the collection was like 'pest' therefore some of them will try to interrogate you....

Family with small children

well this is because most parents will give coins to their children and asked them to put into the can...

ICE CREAM SELLER (roadside)

yup they can help to fill your can indirectly... because there was an ice cream seller set up beside where i'm standing and after his customer purchased the ice cream, they may have coins like 20 cents to 50 cents and they would simply just put into my can..=D

But there are people who you don't need to border to ask....for example the couples, people that was rushing to work, teenagers

Anyway, something interesting happened to me as well... during flag day, at about 11am, an uncle who was given a feat to distribute free tissues paper came.... .. and since both of us were in the same boat , which was to attract public's attention, two of us hit it off and cooperate with each other.... For eg. when someone gave a donation to me, that person will also get free tissue papers....

yup that's all... oh ya ... i must thank zhengyan for setting up the class blog..... haha i'm sure that he had put in his best effort to create such a magneficient template... well he deserved two thumbs up !!! YIPEEEEEE.... THANK YOU ZHENGYAN !!!! k cya nitez

i have a fever...

2007-02-23T18:05:00.000+08:00

hi, since yesterday, i have a fever.... 38.5* C i even had a terrible headache at that time....which was relieved for a while after i took panadol.... but still the headache still came back later .... The fever was so bad that i thought of skipping school for today... but hehe... i altered my minds later.... it was because i want to see 'that' girl... =D (its either a joke or real one )... its also because i dun wanna miss the lessons for the day....

also, i suffocate myself by drinking dunno how many litres of water that caused me to be the frequent visitor of the toilet to wee-wee... just for the sake to remove the heat out of my body....

Today, when i woke up, i found out that my temperature was 38.9* C but thanks to the aid given by the panadol, my headache was gone.... and usually people who have fever did not go to school probably because of the headache.... and some more,

the PE lessons did helped me alot.... by sweating, our body's "hot" fluid was discharged... and therefore, it caused the body temperature could be maintained at normal level.... unfortunately also, during my 9th lap run, i slipped and knocked my right leg onto the ground very hard.... at first i did not feel the pain or even knew that there were bruises... but later, gradually, i began to feel the pain.... haha anyway, its just a few bruises and cuts..... and it reminded me of my sec 2 days, whereby i knocked into the 'rock made' steps and bruises were seen... and there was a white liquid that was seen on the bruises.. which some people said that i was fats.... O.O

even now, my temperature was still 37.9*C which was still beyond the safety line of 37.5*C, anyway, it does not affect my daily routine.... k cya nitez !

eve of CNY.....

2007-02-18T00:41:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone.... haha well sry for not being able to blog yesterday cos i was too tired that as soon as i reached home, i just threw myself onto the bed and ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzz......

ok... well let me review about yesterday...... YEAh finally i managed to so called 'escape' from the Silk air's YOUNG PASSENGER TRAVELLING ALONE scheme..... well actually i must thank an aunty... well,at that time she's helping her ward to check-in and she agreed when i asked her to do me a favour ..... In exchange for my baggage allowance( since i'm not carrying any baggage), she signed the waiver of the UM services for me.... Great !!! i am liberated finally !!!! i got a chance to explore almost the whole of changi airport ..... wooo hooo !!!!

of course, the aunty's ward, a girl , 14 years old (sec 3) from 'hong san sec school' (i'm not really sure about this school, but so far i remembered, she said that it was at novena areas) was following me whenever i went, since her aunty had reminded both of us to stick together so that we won't lost our way....well, i don't really mind if someone's following me, as long as the person did not try to 'control' me...Well i could say that both of us hit it off as temporary friend....
haha unfortunately forgot to ask her phone no... [joking lar]....

well, for the first time in my life, during my trip back this time, i sat on business class !!!! wow, i just can't believe it that actually that business class was far more superior that the economy class, for eg the flight attendant will offer you apple or orange juice as refreshments before taking off..... some newspapers like The Straits Times, magazines like Times magazine were also available for your convenience..... The food served was mouth watering , if we're comparing to the economy class ..... btw at that time, i was trying to put on my best 'western' eating etiquette, which is to eat bits by bits... sip by sip.... which i found it arduous and 'time-wasting'... because...should i be in economy class at that time, i would have eaten the food served like how a dinosaur devouring a people.....(haha)

Anyway... its a great experience and i like business class.... and wish to sit there everytime i went for a flight... so therefore .......
i want to be $R1CH $ --> haha i sounded like someone rite? guess who she is.... clue: she's from my class...=)

and one more funny thing happened during the flight, well during the flight, i was bored ... so instead of flipping through my February issue of reader's digest, i listed to my mp4 instead... the passenger sitting opposite of me saw me putting on my headset and guess what he did??? He's so kiasu leh... he took out his laptop.... switch it on... and listen to the song on his windows media player series 11..... with his mammoth headset.... when he was listening to the music, he gave an 'evil' smile at me.....

of course, i was laughing all the way that the other passengers think that i'm "siao" ....because this scene, i thought of one of the scene from mr bean's show....... in which mr bean went to an exam hall and he met another candidate ..... when he saw the this candidate took out a pen, mr bean being kiasu took out 'stacks' of pens...and it continues on and on...

k thats all... its kinda late for today.... k cya nitez... And
Happy Lunar new year.... GONG XI FA CHAI, HONG PAO NA LAI @@@@

=)

2007-02-15T20:36:00.000+08:00

well, for today is quite unusual, we had our fire drill exercise this morning..... ahh.... today's i was trying on my new hairstyle..haha and my this new hairstyle will not be everlasting, cos i'm going to cut my hair short in few days time....

sianz.... tml going back liao.... 7pm plane.... its a direct plane actually....and i dun really prefer it , unless i'm 16 years old, and why is it so? well look at the pics above... Yup, its kinda suckz....

young passengers travelling alone

you know.... Silk air,is the only airlines that link my hometown to singapore...and from my experience last time, when i had checked in and but i was not allowed to hold on to my boarding pass, the airport staff called one of their staff came to escort me to go to the waiting room.... i was reluctant at that time, since they kept patronizing me, assuming me to be a kid that is as blur as a 'sotong'(octopus) .... of course at that time, i argued with them.... and i guessed that they had lost the debating, cos they kept using this term "THIS IS SINGAPORE'S LAW...."
aiyah, then no choice lor.... let them have it their way lor... reluctantly following one staff that gave me a sticker and forced me to put it on my Cloth... and of course if you were in my position, you will never ever put on that sticker, want to know why? its damn embarassing.... who wants.... to put on the sticker that had a smiley face in it and it is written " HI I'M A YOUNG PASSENGER" which is damn childish leh.... and where am i at now???? oh yes, then, the staff guided me to their offices, asked me to sit on the sofa and wait for my flight.... there, i saw another victim as well, which was a girl from china in her primary school years i think ( since by estimating her height and i saw her china passport) .... That time, my plane would took off in about 2 hours time... and we're being kept as a captive there....
The staffs were enjoying their snacks, without even serving or allow us to help ourselves with the food, especially there was a automatic nescafe machine there.... soon, i went to ask for permission to went out for a snack , since i'm hungry and ... i was being answered rudely and also their answer is "no" ... Then of course, an arguement between me and them started again.... this time, they're the one who finally relented to my wish, but still , they only allow me to went out for 5 min ... wtf..... i demanded for 30 min... and then the bargaining kept going on and on... until finally we managed to come down to a conclusion, 20 min....
I left the staff room with a 'black' face and guess what time i went back???? an hour later..... because its better to roam CHANGI AIRPORT rather than sitting on the sofa, day dreaming , which i could do when i was abroad the plane...further more, by the time i went back to the staff room, there are still around 45 min to go....

So with the past experience, which i can predict that these things will be repeated again tml... i had a few plans already... first which was to ask another passenger for a favour to pretend ' assuming me as their relatives' , in exchange for my 30kg luggage allowance, in which i will not use it at all.....
second reason is actually to repeat what i did last time.....
so.... silk air's STRINGENT RULES, here i come to break you to pieces !!!!!

VALENTINE DAY

2007-02-14T22:26:00.000+08:00

hi, haha today's valentine day..... and...... err........ yup nothing's going on for today.... Just found out that actually students also celebrated valentine day in school by exchanging gifts... some just give the gift....

well, i did not really into that day..... cos.... u know some times valentine day is used to be associated with love, couple, date.... etc.... which is not the correct time to deal with it now....why? its because we're still students and our heart can still be altered easily.....

At age of 15 and 16, What i would say is that crush on a girl is better than so called 'love' the person to be girlfriends boyfriends thingy... cos you know... at this age, we're meant to hang around with lots of people regardless of gender..... and if you choose the 'love' option, mai kong liao( hokkien-> dun say anymore)

Of course everyone in at this age surely have crush on opposite gender, despite they say they're not interested.... well i also have... but surely its a top secret....

hold on.... what am i talking about already? ehh.... i can talk until this topic??? unbelieveable.....
but the most important things in our time is still STUDY !!!! muahhaha a daily routine....

I can conclude that most people in singapore celebrated valentine day.... when i was on my was to the hawker centre in the evening, i saw many people carrying bouquet of flowers, be it either a man or a woman .... and what i have seen at the shop that sells flowers and other sorts of gifts like teddy bear..... those shops... haha lots and lots of people queued up just to purchase things from it....

well for today... physics common test.... i could say that its a hard paper..... and haha from today onwards, i'm gonna try my new hairstyle....

k cya... nitez ! and ... everyone.... HAPPY ALMOST BELATED VALENTINE DAYS

=)

2007-02-09T21:24:00.000+08:00

today's the day whereby O'LEVEL results were released..... having to witness such event... is more 'touching' than korean drama..... but on the other hand, i had also learnt something from it...

The former sec 4s and 5s ..... upon receiving their results, some of them did well but some had unsatisfactory results... its the moment of anguish for most of them..... tears, sadness, laughter, happiness, elated, ....were all blended together as one......

Witnessing such an event, it has motivated me to study harder.... i had also decided to take a great step to cut down my time used for surfing the internet ... focus more on studies...

anyway, each and everyone of us,who are taking O'Level are actually so called 'betting' the school image... if all of us did badly, the school image will get downgraded as well.... besides representing our school in the national level, on the other hands we're actually also representing our classes....

and for my class, i'll fight for the glory of the class.....

=)

2007-02-04T22:24:00.000+08:00

hi there, i learnt a lesson today... err.... maybe it may turn out to be funny.... well it happened in the afternoon, around 1pm.... i was on the living room, doing my homework, the television was switched on as i prefer doing homework , while listening to news in the background...

At 1pm, JAPAN Hour was shown on channel news asia and at that time i was still doing my english tuition homework... i still haven't taken my lunch yet...
As u know, Japan Hour was about food, food and foodzzzz..... when i saw the man on tv eating the "fried beef".. i was like... *gulp* ..... i suddenly felt very hungry, very very hungry to the extent that my stomach hurts and headache started to occur...

Despite after knowing the 'alert' given, i still insisted to finish my composition.... but as seconds by seconds by pass, the stomach hurt and headache worsen... i tried very hard to still hold it... but later, i quicly conclude my compo..... Then i went to eat my food... after eating, i looked at my essay and ..... WTF .... the story was soooo 'beautiful' that i folded the whole paper into a plane and threw it away.... sianz...

anyway, lessons from my experience today is that.... WHENEVER YOU'RE DOING ANYTHING... YOUR MIND MUST BE CLEAR, OR ELSE... YOUR WORK WILL BE OF LOW QUALITY....

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS:

WHENEVER YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH JAPAN HOUR OR ANY EQUIVALENT PROGRAMME, MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY AND IF YOU CAN, BRING ALONG A FOOD

(SO THAT YOUR SALIVA WON' KEEP DRIPPING) HAHA JUST JOKING.. XD

=)

hi there ! haha, its had been a long time since i last updated the blog... reason being... my whole day was filled with homeworks, tests, houseworks...etc.....

hmm... this is strange... just today, one of my sec 1 friends managed to connect to me through friendster.... strange it is..and why is it so? it's because its had been 2 years that i left ghim moh secondary( now is clementi woods sec) ... 2 years!without any sort of interaction with that person...then suddenly remember me... but anyway.... its good to have more friends...=D

oh ya i just realized that staring at someone must be refrained.. well after a few researches from the library and even the internet, i found out that when you keep staring at a person, there are many negative meaning behind it..... first you are just asking for trouble, otherwords "beating"...
second reason, staring at the person is just like you're treating the person like a piece of meat....which may just be inferred as a hungry man who's saliva dripped all over just to look at the meat....
third reason, you're just disgracing and embarassing yourself.... cos when you stared at someone, it will sugest to the person that you're just like a village people that came into a city... overwhelmed by the beauty...

by the way... hehe ... until now... that "smile" still igniting inside me... its just like key that had unlocked a door for me...

=)

hihi, well, for today, whole day stayed at home, doing some house cleaning....

=)

2007-01-27T23:15:00.000+08:00

hi,not much thing happened just had english tuition for the day....
In the evening just went to orchard library to return bookz.... haha, and then be kiasu, borrowed 8 bookz again(due to double your reading promotion) of the 8 bookz, 4 of them are titled either " ...FOR DUMMIES" OR " COMPLETE IDIOT" wah lao... it made me feel like a dummies and and idiot... haha jkjk.....

recently i had found out this interesting movie.. DETECTIVE CONAN;Strategy above the depths...Graphics;excellent, combination of 3D and rotating cameras....Storyline is quite touching,and the way they prove the case, it's like real ...Epilogue is like titanic scene... and i still like the ending song... NATSU WO MATSU SAIL NO YOUNI ...and also pay close attention to the ending song, cos the scene of the ship in the clip is the same as where the movie story is potrayed on....

and not all detectives themed stories are worth it for watching, cos it depends on how they solve the crime...by deduction...

maybe now, i'm a maniac for detective stories....haha.... anyway, here's Detective Conan -- strategy above the depths ....enjoy!!
p.s it may took quite a time to load and its about 88 mins...

2007-01-25T20:25:00.000+08:00

hihi, well today's quite tiring....and starting from recess, i looked depressed, not because of test results , relationship or even other things... its just that i'm still in dilemma to choose whether to follow my parents words to skip school on the chinese new year celebration (16 feb) or to still come to school...

well, every chinese new year, i had not been celebrating it with my family... since everytime its just 2 days of holidays, but this time, its 4 days.... and i was told to come back on 16 feb, because on the 17 feb, it will be the last day before chinese new year, where all family members will reunite together... and there were a lot of ppl travelling that the plane tickets were fully booked.... sianz....And finally around the evening, i had decided.... to still come to school on that day....and i will try to give reasons for my parents to agree with my decision....

Haha anyway, lets start with today.... all the lessons are as usual... not much things... except for some tests that were returned... results not too bad....oh ya today's mr oh last day.... the w Wish him all the best for his future...=D .....
After school, malay remedial... and then... library duties... oh ya i found out that mdm roslina was no longer part of the library...=( sad.....

Oh ya during library duty again, i met mr poh(the librarian) 's child.... actually the child's gender remained mystery... we could not tell by appearance, if you say the child's a girl, you may still pull back your words.... and vice-versa....
Then, some students began to give suggestion.... Tingwei suggested the term "sheim" , while michelle make a joke by saying "to find out, must go and touch the child's ...." haha i was there laughing.... then michelle went to ask the child.... of course.... later we found out that the child was a boy.... well, he's very shy...he ever told me that he will run away very quickly if stranger appproaches him....

Well that's all for today....
Currently DA VINCI CODE had reached chapter 7 out of 105 (excluding the epilogue) ... furthermore, today i kept flipping a 'black book' ,btw .... its not a religious books, instead, its the book i had been looking for, 'the More detailed explaination on the laws of SIR Issac Newton', one of the person whom i idolized...

tml still have english vocab review 2....

Then geog lessons... geog test.... studied till like siao like that, still dunno whether can pass or not.... crazy sia, in humanities, the more you write, the more chances of you hitting the point, but very risky leh.... you may ended up beating around the bushes...(writing out of point),which i often did during geog... well hope i can pass....

then one e math... haha go through locus, which i dun understand that much...and finally physics... haha mr oh, went through magnetism.
johnson,tingwei and derek, keep talking about something that i dun really get it... their topic extended from orange to blue colour thingy.... then to anti-metal??(what's that)... then to earth magnetic field... then to fire..... haha dun really understand what they're talking about..... anyway, english remedial with mrs goh, haha went through grammar worksheet.... well i can still say my english suckz ! my grammar have a lot of mistakes, and surely this blog also grammarless ....

Anyway, currently i'm reading DAN BROWN'S "Da Vinci Code" well, i'm quite late rite?? because last year, when i flipped a few pages of da vinci code, i could not even understand what the stories all about....

But for now, i decided to take it as a challenge... hehe ... lets see, is the books difficulties or my 'english' that will reigns... well, my target is to finish it in 6 weeks times, since i can only extend the loan only once....(every loan lasted for 3 weeks) ....
k! i gtg now, gotta head for the gym ~ byebye

bye bye fx-991ms

2007-01-19T22:53:00.000+08:00

Hi, its had been a long time since i blogged. . . k. . . .lets see. . . .lately nothing much had

happened. . . .its just that for this week, the exam kept approaching us like the thunderstorm that always happened everyday. . .

The list of calculator allowed for O' level had been released. . . .mrs toh told me to refer to her class's notice board and i saw it. . . . my calculator model is not in the list. . . .anyway, that time we're being assisted by one girl, who prefers ppl to call her 'chiobu'. . . .if i'm not wrong her name is michelle . . . . Thanks for the assistance michelle. . . . .

From the first day i stepped in Singapore, i was using a Casio calculator model fx - 991 MS . . . . . this is the calculator that i had been holding with me. . . when taking the school entrance exam, when taking any tests and even exams and in other occassion. . . its somehow kinda like a things that brings back all the memories to me . . .

Now, i had to give up on it, because for the o' level rules disapprove the use of that particular calculator, since its able to solve quadratic equation, solve matrices, and many more. . . But the fact is, i do not even know how to use the ' special ' characteristics that it had, i'm just treating it like a normal, usual calculator. . . .

But a rule is a rule, there're nothing we can do to alter it. . . . so, i'm left with no choice but to purchase a new calculator. . . and today, i bought it. . . the model that's being used by the majority of the pupils. . . Casio fx - 85 MS. . . . . and i'm still not fluent in using the calculator, hopefully by more and more practice i'll get used to it. . . .

That's all for today. . . .

and lately happening . . . . during recess we always got a number of prefects who always kept targeting at our class, asking us to go to benches. .. .but when we observed the neighbouring class, they(pupils) stayed in class and they nvr get any visit from the prefects. . . . i'm sure there's must be a reason behind it. . . .

wah lao ! and if we go to the benches , there're a group of ppl there talking so loudly, dunno mutter something , and then laugh like mad ppl like that, so noisy can't concentrate. . .

my sad days as a librarian

2007-01-09T23:04:00.000+08:00

well, for this post, i'm just gonna be talking about mrl ( media resource library). . . this matter had keep been bothering me all days, and you know, i don't wish to get a heart disease by keeping it inside my heart. . . so, to remove this 'virus' i'm gonna threw it up here in the blog. . .
here it goes. . .

my regret of choosing the wrong cca

Library as a cca, its not the cca that i chose by my own instinct . . . but, rather, it was one of my ex-classmates, Shunan 's recommendation ( at that time i thought he was a good friend, till i found his true colour one day. . .) when i had just joined queensway secondary school in sec 2. . . During my sec 2 years, i'm always active for library, my attendance was 100%. At sec 2, i found library is not so stressful and there are no problem generated. . . peaceful moments. . despite at that time we have shortage of librarian in duties. . .

Then, sec 3 adventure began. . . Mrs lim lay kuan was the new head of library, replacing madam roslina . . . well, since she was my form teacher in sec 2, i'm sure she will be able to do a good job, and she did. . . Then we (the librarians) were called to choose the days we wanted to do our duties. . . i chose thursday and for the beginning, its fun. . . you know why? i met some new friends, one of them is called Caiyun, she was my senior librarian, she and her ' gang ' all chose to be librarian and they did ' siao' (crazy) things there , so i joined in as well. . . haha it was such a wonderful moment. . . Around April 2006, Caiyun & her gang step down from library to prepare for prelim & N' level exam. . . for that, i was lonely, the library duties seemed to be like like in a cemetery, no joke, no talking, no fun at all ! So, at this point of time some librarians try to act big already . . .

For example; all of us did the cafe job, but then at closing time, they commanded me to go and wash the plates and wipe the table, and i follow as what they commanded, despite i'm ex-co at that time and they're not, but i tried to be nice to them. . . Soon after a few weeks, i began to feel that cafe works are more like girlish job you know, Wash dishes, serve food, wipe table . . . not manly, so i decided to change to book shelfing. . . but still , these bad librarians who worked in the cafe, everytime after cafe closure at 4pm ,they will carry out the plates and asked me to wash for them, while they idle around, relaxing away. . . i still do as they wish. . . it was because i'm blind, i do not have the courage, the bravery to stand up against them. . . cos if i say no, they will " make their own story as that i'm in the wrong"

Till, after month of june, the time whereby i got to know Johnson and Ting wei, was my turning point. . . i learnt a lot from them. . . the bravery to stand up for the right, that every man should have in themselves, become more 'gangster like' , not to threaten ppl or bully ppl, but to instead, give the alert to the 'attacker' to think twice before attacking you . . . .

day by day, i learnt to became more braver and braver, until when the whole incident repeated all over again, whereby the bad librarians asked me to wash the dishes while i was shelfing the book, i said no .... and of course they started to threaten me, and i told them to go ahead to do it if they got guts. . . Then one prefect you know, who was a librarian started to threaten me by saying that he will write down my name in the small booklet issued by mr chua to all prefects . . .and i told him to go ahead if he dare, i'll make sure he was kicked out of prefectorial board should he try to write my name in the booklet, cos threatening is not the way of the prefect !

So, i believe , my downfall in sec 4, is not because of the teachers own decision, but its from the complaint from these bad librarian. . . when 2 or three of them had convinced the teacher on how bad a student can be, of course the teacher will agree to them rite?
For sec 4, the whole week i have group study and remedial . . . monday; physics, tuesday- chemistry , wednesday- english, thursday-mother tongue, friday- a or e math... so maybe i may skip library duties if i can't make it. . .

If you're curious on whose the bad librarian, sry i can't say their name , but i will give you clue;One of them is the prefect,boy,duties on thursday last year . . . Another is a girl, who wear a specs and fat; duties and this year she's one of the ex-co member. . .
Of all, to finalize it, i'm kinda disappointed with the points given by taking library as cca . . . ppl who took choir, girl guides, band , etc have scored almost full marks, while me? only 7 points , not even half . . .

on top of that, i also kept getting resistance by the bad librarians who wanted to make use of me as their slave . . . phew very very bad leh . . . Some more, Mrs lim promised us that if we did the 'Top ten' corner in the library, she will award us with more points. . . i did 4 book reviews. . . but no points at all ! wah lao eh ! . . .

And i will try to advice all the person who i know or dont, not to ever take library as cca,cos you will feel disappointed at the end of secondary lifes, during your admission to Jc. . .

and so far, i had just realized that majority of the pupil librarians are from normal acad & technical stream, cos their days were not as stressful as the express stream, who will have group study, remedial, every days in a week .. . .

so, the moral of the story is, remember, your choice is your own, don't be influenced by the others

=)

2007-01-04T15:21:00.000+08:00

hi, its really rare for me to blog in the afternoon.. hahaz... ok lets go...

well, today in school is usual, all lessons happened, english, we went to ava room 2, then we proceeded to the library to choose books to be borrowed. . . then Pd, mr chai went through the thing we ought to know. . . maybe. . . then malay lesson, lol, for malay class, our 4E will be combined with 5N . . . total student in one small malay class = 41 students . . .can you imagine that ? w.o.w

then SS, i saw ms leong for the first time. . .her class may be very intensive at all time. . .then physics. . . we went through some worksheets. . . and finally chemistry, we learnt more about electrolysis, its kinda a hard topic. . .

after school i have a library meeting. . . and this is my main reason for writing this blog in daytime. . . well, its really a great disappointment for me,i had lost my library ex-co position. . . the only cca that i believe can help me to get to good JC had become hopeless to me. . .(cos my cca point at the end of sec 3 is only 7 points) but what can i expect, things that had happen no more things can be done to alter it. . . so, now i can only rely on my academic results to determine my future. . .

oh ya result of the meeting,not long again. . . there will be a trolley filled with books from 7am to 7.15am , on first and second recess. . . .going around the school. Its called mobile MRL , its a propaganda to lure more students to borrow more books from the library. . i do not really agree with this kinda of propaganda, because you know, people borrow books because they wish to do so, not because of influence or threathening. . .

Bye Bye maple, audition, kongkong=)

2007-01-03T20:27:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone ! sry i can't really go online in the past few days, cos in indonesia, internet down due to earthquake in Taiwan, in singapore, keep revising for physics. . .

I arrived in singapore on the 1st January 2007, around 7pm by ferry from batam.... for few days, i am feeling unusual with the sudden change in environment. . . maybe it may last for a week cos you know, when you had lived in a place for 1 months or more, and suddenly different environment, you're gonna feel unusual and even lonely. . .(this usually happen to me at night time for this few days)

well, lets just leave that thing alone shall we? lets review about today. . . hmm. . . first day of school . .. i was elated, cos i get to see all my buddies and classmates again. . . haha get to see that " girl " =) aww. . . for the subjects today, they still haven't started teaching yet, except physics. . . useless that i went to pack a bulky rucksack. . . Physics re-test were held today. . . my comment is that the paper is ok ok only. . . but not so easy. . .

oh ya i almost forgotten, during the holiday, i had been planning for this year. . . and i had decided to stop playing maplestory, audition sea, kongkong. . . yup i decided to apply it now, cos u know, when we're playing computer games, its just like a train, and i'm referring to the coal train (not electrical train like MRT). For a train to stop completely, we need to brake, but the brake is not like the vehicle brake, which can stop instantly, but for train one, you need to hit the brake and wait it to slow down. . . then stop completely. . .
With no games, i hope that i can reach my goal for this year; to put my name at the Queensway secondary school hall, under the Top student for GCE O' level exam for 2007.....

Merry christmas everyone !

2006-12-25T21:21:00.000+08:00

yo, hahaz yesterday early in the morning, my whole family went to stay in brastagi highland. Since its a rainy days, on our way up the hill, heavy downpour showered upon us... we were totally engulfed by mist . . . brr, it reminded me of the scene in the movie ,"SILENT HILL"

Some more, the ride was a dangerous one. . . you can't see anything around you. . . at that time, speeding like "siao beh"(crazy horse) is just looking for trouble, cos when u speed blindly, you may not have enough time to brake, another car descended to your sight and. . . bang. . . the fight is on. . .

Overall, staying at a hotel at highland is really relaxing, ahh only 1 day only. . . well to describe to you briefly, the weather was like Malaysia's Genting Highland, but not very cold as that . . . i did snapped some pics, but unfortunately, can't upload up, but, i'll upload it ASAP i returned in singapore. . .

yup yup i think dats all .. .

Merry Christmas everyone ! k cya nitez. . .

=)

2006-12-24T08:41:00.000+08:00

hihi, wah still drizzling, but good thing, not heavy downpour anymore. . . with this kinda of weather, my imagination had run wild, i had imagined that the tsunami that happened 2 years ago. . . at the date that i will nvr forget. . . 26th December 2004 at 8.05am (local time) , will happen again. . . but maybe its not possible, because from what i had read from the library, they say that tsunami happen every 70 years. . .

Oh ya, finally, i got my driving license yeah ! ! ! ! woo hoo now i'm able to drive already. . .

2006-12-20T22:08:00.001+08:00

hihi long time no blog . . . hahaz , well basically not much thing happening around here, only that. . . i had completed the driving lessons and i passed the test =D , just wanna wait for about 2 days before the driving license is ready .

Aww. . . mrs pang had posted some physics homework on lead.com, and they're superb difficult. . . just realized it, cos it had been a month until i did not touch physics at all. . . and i had forgotten almost all of the topics in sec 3 , gotta start from a scratch now =) hehe

Oh yes, almost forgotten. . . . i had a no nice news for all classmates. . . well i mean. . .our sec A-Math syllabus had been much slower than the other school already. . . yup, luckily mrs toh managed to cover until binomial theorem ( topic 1 to 14 i think) during the step-ahead program, that made us to be "equal" wif other school. . . but permutation & combination were not included in final year exam. . . while other school did. . . now i'm concerning about the O ' Level exam . . . here, i managed to obtain some information from other foreign students who were studying in singapore goverment schools. . . some who i knew are from BUKIT MERAH SEC, GAN ENG SENG SEC, FAIRFIELD METHODIST SEC, CHUNG CHENG SEC( correct spelling?), BEATTY SEC, ACS (independent),SCGS , etc. . . .

out of these schools i had mentioned, the most lethal competitors will be the one from ACS, and i'm referring to the Asean scholars (dun look far far, here in indonesia i met some of them) asean scholars. . . they're very clever , other words, prodigy. . . will be hard competition leh. . . but still, we wouldn't know the result unless we try rite. . . hehe =) lets give them our best shot !

k cya nitez !

Eragon =)

2006-12-13T21:03:00.000+08:00

Yo there… I had watched eragon already, today @15.15pm …

Here are the reviews about the movie

ERAGON

what was once your life, is now your legend....

The movie is more than expectation... cos its really…really…. I mean, its worth your money…=D this movie is unlike any other movies, which try to attract viewers because the movie got pretty women (chio bues*)

The graphic & artwork, wow…in the way they brought the dragon alive, the shooting place was also Extremely beautiful, eg: range of mountains

Storyline--For those who have read eragon books, may find a difference in the scene, Cos the movie script had been altered a bit, but still, a very interesting storyline

Actor & actresses----True to what I had mentioned in the last post, the actor & actresses were able to produce a play whereby sometimes it may touch your heart, make u laugh…

Well, there are still many that I had to mention…. But I still can’t think rite now…

Out of 5 stars, I would rate it 5 Stars, cos its really must not forget to see see =) but if you wanna watch movie because u wan romance scene, this may not interest you =) cos u know, 90% of the movies are all adventure, action=)

=)

2006-12-12T21:05:00.000+08:00

Hihi, I wanna tell the reader one thing.. and it is the countdown that I made for eragon release….because I made a mistake, I thought that the release will be on the 14^th dec 2006, but the truth is, its on the 13^th of December, which means, it’ll be released tomorrow… =D finally after waiting for 1 year, 12 months and 12 days…. Finally its released… can’t wait to watch it actually… hehe

I’ll expect the movie to be EXTRA EXTREMELY good, cos its directed by STEFEN FANGMEIER,the one responsible for special effect for Perfect storm,Twister, Master and Commander…..while screen play by PETER BUCHMAN, and if I remember correctly, this guy is responsible for writing the play script for KING KONG… Not forgetting the actor & actresses ….. John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons, Robert Carlyle, Djimon Hounsou, had won awards in acting world…. With Sienna Guillory, the lady who played as JILL Valentine in movie RESIDENT EVIL; APOCALYPSE.. and new comer Edward Spellers, new actor who had just being recruited …and btw, they( movie makers) says that he has a flair in acting… and guess what, he’ll be playing as the main charac, ERAGON…. Hahaz… we’ll see…

This movie shall not be a … err… u know, some kinda of movies in which the actor and actresses dun know how to act, that we can see that they’re very ‘fake’, just like the ordinary acting @ school, but I can still say that school ones will still be better than them hor…=)

Soo… hahaz dats all for today…. Tommorow’s the premiere day…and my kiasu & kiabo instinct forced me to die die must watch…. =D(big grin)

Tml, I’ll post the report of the movie and recommendation to whether the movie either must not miss miss type or better dun see see type…

K.. cya… nitez !

*cough cough cough...

hihi now i have a very very very baaadd sore throat... its really irritating of course, fried and 'hot foods' were kept away from me... the sore throat had lasted for the last 3 days...

well for today, its sundae.... oops i mean sundays....and sundays is a peaceful day in here,since its the only holiday in a week.... and since its a fine day, i decided to learn to drive a motorcycle, since i am able to ride a bike already.... first try quite hard, cos u mus nvr let go your right hand from the handle, or else... the whole motorcycle will shut off by itself....but one thing i am still curious still is.... why in bike and motorcycle, we'll balance better if we drive it at faster speed.... if we just drive it slowly, we'll just somehow lost our balance....

phew... dats all for today... the rest of the day i'll just went out to plaza....and bought a game... "reservoir dogs" its rating is (mature 17+) ... now.. whenever i wanna buy things that have rating, for eg dvds, comics...etc... i will always choose M18 rating and below... haha dun wan go above, cos... B00R1NG u know... cos they do "this"and do "that" and do everything dats we must say ssst.....

ERAGON released in 4 more days !!!! i'm (buay tahan) (inpatient) liao.... muhahahahaha......

k cya... nitez !

2006-12-06T15:51:00.000+08:00

hihi, oh ya wanna add in to last post... the blackout problem still NOT SOLVED yet... the reason why we dun have blackout in the past 2 days were because they ( power plant workers) tried to avoid causing blackout in the city, since u know...its kinda of a crowded place...so they 'set' blackout in the suburb areas..and guess what, the villagers came to the town and riot!!!! ya lor... no choice... blackout is blackout lor, rioting will not make the difference right...

oh ya just came back from driving lesson.... oh shit, i crashed the car into the wall when i was training reversing skill... truely, i was confused between how to reverse the car in the correct direction...haha luckily the instructor say it is no matter wat happen to the car, cos its meant to be like that....

wootz.... 8 more days to eragon....... woootz woootz woootz wootz wooootz

k cya i gtg now... afternoonzzz

=)

2006-12-04T22:51:00.000+08:00

hihi, well for today's not much thing... just went to learn driving...=)
oh ya i had just watched the movie, "SILENT HILL" , its a NC16 movie in singapore... but in here no rule one rite..so i heck care lor..hahaz just go ahead and watch...

The movie not sooo frightening... i think the NC16 rating is because of gruesome scene, whereby the people got ripped off into two, and the blood were spilled all over the screen, etc... oh ya also, the word "Fuck" is commonly used in the movie... storyline not okok lor... just quite complicated near the epilogue... after watching few times then i realized that the main character and child were already dead.... cos they were in their house, but they cannot connect and even see those who are still living...

wootz....

10 more days to go !!! for eragon to be released to the cinema.... =)

hahaz good thing... the blackout were not observed in the past few days ... the local power plant got the additional back-up from outsiders....at last...

haha k cya... nitez !
