I'm finally 16. Hmm.. not much excitement though. Still, glad to be 16. =)
I'm just chilling at home. Not going anywhere in particular. No cake this year. Pizzas! My parents wanted to eat out but I kinda insisted on order and delivery.
To all my friends, thanks for your birthday wishes. I appreciate it very much. I love you guys!

So long 15...
Well well well... my long awaited 16th birthday EVE is finally here. I will miss you 15 but I'm looking forward to 16 more!
My 15 year-old life has been a great one. It is of joy and laughter and sarcasm and I hope 16 will be the same, in a good way. The best thing is, I get to spent 15 with you! ( By you, I refer to everyone who knows me, not someone in particular.)
8.53pm. tick tock tick tock guys!

Long time no see
Last Wednesday went to Secret Recipe at Perling Mall to meet Delin, a friend of mine who moved to Ipoh about three years ago. It was pretty fun. Altogether there was 8 of us. We had a nice chat and I ordered a spaghetti bolognaise but somehow the guy heard beafball spaghetti. Either ways, beafball spaghetti was nice.
She hasn't changed a bit. To me at least. And she said that I changed a lot three years back. Pretty shocked to hear that. She's still quiet, shy. Still, it was pleasant meeting a friend you haven't seen in 3 long years.
Will this happen after we part from secondary school?

The Rematch
Gary Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov are having a rematch!!!!! For those who don't know Gary Kasparov, he is the Lin Dan in badminton, the Usain Bolt in sprinting, the David Copperfield in magic, the Kee Yong How in add maths... the... you get the idea. And Anatoly Karpov is his all-time rival, Kasparov won against him in the world championship back in 1985 and was crowned world champion. Though in 2002, Karpov beat Kasparov in a match in New York (2.5-1.5). And now in 2009, their rivalry will continue to see who will come out on top!
Their first match was held Yesterday in Valencia. Gary Kasparov took an early lead. 2-0. It's pretty surprising to me cause although Gary Kasparov was the highest ranked player in chess, he hasn't played since 2005. He was occupied with some Russian opposition political stuff. So it's safe to assume that his skills are greatly decreased. On the other hand, Karpov has been playing competitive chess all this while, so how could he lost the first two games?
Nonetheless, this event will put chess in the limelight once again. I know chess might seem lame, but I can tell you that a high level chess game can be super-intense as in any finals in sports. Maybe even more. Battles of the mind. Let me show you what I mean.
Wicked.

It's the holidays
HOLIDAYS YEAH YEAH YEAH.
I'm, I mean we, are free from school from 10 days. Applause.
I'm now into facebook. I know FFS is lame. But at least it keeps me sober. And occupied. And not addicted.
I've been downloading Bealtes' remastered songs. Hell awesome.
Played badminton today. With Dyiperng, Jiamin, Nermit. Paired up with dyiperng and then with jiamin. Fun. Though wasn't that tiring.

En. Chong's story
During EST, En. Chong told my class a lil' story. I thought it's quite meaningful. Kinda funny in a way. It goes...
One day, there's this teacher who doesn't like to teach. His lessons' are very boring. Every student fell asleep. And when he asked ' does anyone understand?' No one raised hands. The teacher said that this class is too dumb. He walked out of the class.
The pengetua heard about this. And told the students to raise up their hands next time he asks.
And the next lesson the teacher asked the same thing, everyone raised their hands as expected. The teacher saw this and said ' You all are clever, don't need my teachings.' He went out the class again.
The pengetua heard about this as well. And told half of the students to raise hands while the other not to.
And the teacher asked the same thing in the following lesson. Half of the students raised their hands. This time round. the teacher said ' Good. The ones who understand, teach those who don't'. He walked out the class again.
The End.
Moral-of-the-story : Lazy people find excuses in whatever they do.

I'm blessed with luck.No kidding.
Received all my results for the test before the holidays.
I really didn't have enought time to study this time. But I think not many of us did.
Could've done better. But I way satisfied with my results.
I finally aced moral. Though it's still pretty annoying thinking back the last test where I'm supposed to get an A2 but the marks couldn't be corrected. B3 was fine with me, but that really stained my results. It was the one and only B and it's not suppose to be there.
Grateful.
