Unforgotten

Yesterday was quite a day. I met up with my primary school friends and teachers!

Oh wait before that, I had to wake up early to attend the moral seminar. The talk was by a highly experienced chinese teacher, talking about our common mistakes. She even introduced the weirdest (forgive me for saying this) memorising method. She actually used body parts to remember the nilai and kata kunci. I don't know how she does it. And she memorise the nilai by their initials. So menghormati hak golongan kurang berupaya would be MHGKB, yeap all 36 of them.

What she taught us was different from Pn Lim's teachings. She even mildy insulted Pn Lim. We said "可是我们的老师不是这样说的" and she replied "所以有时候学生不懂为什么自己拿不到A" Only one can be right, we need explainations. Well I guess Zhu Wen would be ahead of us, she was there too.

Okay, back to reunion lunch event. So we met up at McDonalds.

All together there was about 20+ of us. Half of which is from our school. Haha.

雯馨,芷薇,丽婷,明惠,诗慧,婉甄,文琳,翠凌,钦莹,丽芳,乐凌,微清,爱怡,绍琪,彗祺,文安,佳恩,镇玮,伟明,豪杰,维斌,国维,宏亮,我。

I wonder if I missed anyone. If so, sorry! Ah you probably wouldn't see this anyway.

郑素桂老师, Mrs Yong, and Cikgu Jenny was there. They totally looked younger and prettier! What a pity 方老师 had something on and could not attend. They said they couldn't contact 麦老师 as well.

Yea so it was crowded at McD as usual. Everyone somehow got to sit down anyways. We chatted and had fun, we looked at our 6(1) class photo, enjoyed reminiscing about the old times. I guess it's fair to say that Ler Ling changed the most. She changed from this dirty-untidy-messy-crazy-looking-weirdo to the talkative-laugh-out-loud-a-bit-rosak-on-the-inside-weirdo.

I'm so happy that all three teachers remembered me, it was probably because of my yellow tie back then.

It was nice that the teachers sponsored the lunch, their reason being that we can't even make money. I had GCB by the way, so-so la. The lunch ended soon and we took pictures. Everyone was looking at us and we didn't care. So we lingered outside McD for about 15 minutes and it was goodbye so long farewell hope to see you again.

Then the girls started the Neway clan, while I started the Movie clan. About 10 of us joined the Movie clan. And then we split into the Step Up tribe and Descent tribe. Haha yea, so in the end 5 of us The Descent 2 and the other 5 watched Step Up 3.

The girls kept on covering their eyes. And I kept pulling their hands away and went 不要遮啦,看!看!The storyline sucked but I enjoyed the thrill.

Then I did street magic! My first ever. Haha. Hell it was nervous. I did three effects on three audiences and it was rather successful I would say. Still I could've done much much much better. I guess I'll just have to prove myself, look out for me people!

Gosh this getting way too long.

My phone got weird so I didn't take much pictures.






Let me guess, all of you read the first sentence, got bored and scrolled down here.

I killed your dinosaurs and blew myself up

THE PLEDGE
It started with a fresh deck of cards.
Sealed and yet to be opened.



THE TURN
I had seen nothing like it and was fully mesmerized.
It was magic.



THE PRESTIGE
It ended the way it started.
And it left me wondering.





Ladies and gentlemen.

For my last trick.

I'll disappear for good.

Jedi mind trick?

I heard something.

Probably the hidden truth. I felt so stupid. How could I not think of that? So obvious, right in front of my eyes, yet I could not see it. I think I was blind, we all are at some point.

I'm not sure if it is what it is said to be, and I'm not sure how I felt. Though it was uneasy. VERY UNEASY. Felt like injections, a million injections at the same time, at the same spot. Oh well, life can be a pocket full of sunshine. Or simply a bucket full of shit.

I had not stepped on this path before, so there will be a lot for me to learn and discover. No worries, I learn fast.

Oh well, the smile on my face doesn't wanna go away. =)



I heard something.

Not surprising actually. I see signs of it already. Turned out I was spot on. I thought I saw a bit of me in you, dilemma.

Oh veteran, do what you have decided. You have already made your choice, you just don't know it yet. You know how it is, how it should be and how it will be. It's up to you, it always have been.

Nothing's too big of a deal, let us be water and flow with it. =)





If only things were easy.

*looks into the distance*

Spent a long time trying to think of a long title but lacked ideas so I came up with this

It's been a long long time since I've played basketball with my friends. I would say half a year or so. For real, everyone had lost their touch. I didn't had any so I was just about the same. Haha.

Believe it or not, I practised on my piano just now. YAY! Finally something's going on. I've not practiced on my piano longer than I had not play any basketball. Yea that's how long I've been slacking.

Now I suck bad, seriously. I could do a few miserable songs, but it wasn't there. My musicals notes were empty, I had no control. For real I don't consider myself any grade at all. I could play the notes, but not the song, if this makes any sense at all.

For the fun of it masih boleh, but to impress myself I've failed. I wonder if I should get back at it seriously, or just you know, meddle with some pleasant pieces, preferably easy ones.

Thinking back, I've come a long way to achieve what I achieved. I shouldn't just let it go like this. Though if I continue working on it just because I don't want to let it go to waste, isn't it pointless? I'm always the just-because-you-can-doesn't-mean-you-should kinda guy. I believe I can do anything. Everyone can do anything, literally. So the question is not can/cannot, it's want/don't want. And I want what makes the people around me and I happy.

I don't like this post. It's just one of those days.

Free Fall

Yeap. Weightless right now. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo lighttt!

One whole month of studying, chiong-ing, striving, rushing, less-sleeping, reading. OVER. Finally. FINALLLYYYYYYY.

Mixed feelings. Some were easy, some were hard, most were hard. Review!

AM - No time to check.
MM - I think too much.
FZ - No one saw it coming.
KM - Too careless.
BIO - Hard but easier than expected.
SJ - Very tough for me.
PM - The usual. No hope for A+.
BI - I wrote a stupid essay.
BM - Thank god.
BC - Impossible.

I'm proud of myself that I did it all on my own, no tips/cheats/secret-answers-in-underpants/invisible ink involved whatsoever.

Not expecting straight As' this time, not this time. I really could've done better. Chentel you could be right. Maybe I'm too relaxed. I should buck up.

Haha, too late.

ENJOY THE HOLIDAY PEOPLE.

I'm definitely going to Singapore to chill. 3D MOVIE. Anyone? No one? Ah fine.

I'm going to have to replace books with cards. Byeeeeeeeeeee.

* I have improve my piano and card skills. I feel so small.*

Voilà lala

There you go. Something new.

I got sick of my old blogskin anyways. It's grey. Too dull.

So what do you think?

I like this. It's clean. It's red. It's white.

Love the red carpet feel. And it kinda looks like the back design of a card.

Yes I'm a sucker for cards.



I'll be back blogging in just a few days.

Wait for me.

One point shy

This will probably be the last post for this month. Trial examinations.

I need to clear things up. My books. My head.

CHEMISTRY
I want to own eight valence electrons
Just eight will do
Though I'm feeling that I have nine


PHYSICS
I want high potential difference
I want low current
I want a transistor for my brain


BIOLOGY
I don't want no -ine
I don't want no -gen
I'll exchange my hypothalamus for your smile


ADD MATH
I don't want to be -1 s
I don't want to be 1/0
I want to be #


MODERN MATH
I hope things can be like you
I hope my calculator can rest
I hope parallel lines can meet


HISTORY
I'm tired of flipping through the past
I'm tired of thinking
I want to make history


MORAL
I don't want to be like you
I don't want you to be like it
Though that's what life is like


BC BM BI
Be like me
为什么要像我
Mu sepertiku

It's crazy what books can do to a person

Tear for my dear


Credits to my beloved 2-year-old cousin.


You've been with me for almost 2 years now.

You've served me well my friend.

You've mesmerized the hearts of many.

You've fooled the eyes of the skeptics.

And now.

You're naked.

How sad.

What the if

If I passed by would you say hi?

If I said hi would you be shy?

If I'm too shy would you not sigh?

If I just sighed would you not cry?

If I just cried would you ask why?

If I asked why would you not lie?

If I just lied would you say bye?

If I said bye would you reply?

Cardiorchestra

I had a hard time figuring out the title for this post. I want it to express how I feel. And I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now. Empty? Sad? Angry? I just feel uneasy.

庄丽霏. A former SJK(C) Pei Hwa teacher, passed away yesterday. 5 8 10. Head on car crash. She died, with her unborn child. 8 month old, so ready to see the world, yet God loves them more than we do. Another teacher died as well, rest in peace.

She never taught my class. Though she was one of the teachers who lead the year end school trip when I was primary six.

That was already 5 years ago. Yet I had a clear memory of her. She checked on my hotel room. She went in and saw my clothes. I laid them there nicely for tomorrow, shirt, pants and underpants. And she went '这个是谁的低裤?' with 低裤 pronounced as TEH KO. I could never forget that.

We even got stuck on the same ride at Genting Highlands. The spider man one, with the person lying horizontally. The thing went haywire. It stopped half way. She was afraid. I remember Yong Hing, Jeremy, Kok Wai was there too. We were unharmed.

We called her 庄妈. I think it was because throughout the trip she was like a mother to us. Taking care of us like kids, which back then we were. We had fun.

How sad. How unfortunate. How shocking. How unpredictable. That spells life.

People live. People die. It's just natural. So why are we sad when we know it's coming sooner or later? Because we're not ready. We're unprepared to lose our loved ones. And why is that? Because we're not loving them more enough. So what are we waiting for? What am I waiting for?

Learn to love. And when it's time. Let go.
