Buffetting : Next Station

And this week is an official die hard week. Still can find a slot for this post due to unfinished schedule-preparation, so I guess I'm going to have a tough day tomorrow also.

So we had out debate last week, old news but late is better than never.

The 1st debate experience was okay, considering the face that my team never even discuss out ideas together at all, so practically we worked our way blindly in the whole process.

Honestly speaking, my team have much better speakers, or rather more aggressive speaker with much more eloquence. Yet, I guess the swaying and unfocused ideas lead us to failure.

The whole topic was about "Test scores as good indication of a school's competency," and my team as negative.


Had fun as the third speaker rebutting all the opponent's points using my style and brawn, not to mention periodic drama and sarcasm.


Anyway, the whole point was, I wasn't focused or prepared. With my current charisma, if we were given a second chance to debate with the same team, we can beat them flat, along with plenty of Christina's help of course.


Next up was MUET exam. Listening was a wreck and dang it, I lost my entrance slip temporarily. Hopefully I can find it soon.


Guess what? I finally had my first blood donation. It felt so HUMAN to donate blood. It wasn't THAT painful and watching your old blood flowing out of your own body is definitely a healthy sight... Imagine your body producing new blood. So much more healthier and just taking livers and another internal organs of poultry or pork.

450 cc of B type blood can save 3 lives man. And according to the doctor in charge, there is a shortage in B type blood because its so rare, which I wonder how true is that because B antigen was suppose to be dominant... owh well screw it.


Well, after bustle and hustle, its time for another round of celebration again, more like a belated one.


Like always, I-man, the counterpart of Ip-Man, was blur enough to not see this coming, so we did quite a good job in surprising him and calling his mum, again.


So we talked and had dinner in Manhattan , which ended up quite abruptly with returning our house right after the dinner. Honestly speaking, I would love to just go home because it was so late and I can feel the dizziness in my head coming up so bailed, along with everyone else.


Practically school this whole week was boring due to the emptiness of the class, caused by the annual photography session. The editor-in-chief did a great job in getting a photographer cheap enough to not say 1,2 and Cheese due to his unprofessional attitude and the stupid teacher in charge, Zainuddin. Owh well, what to you expect from a typical wantan right?


Next up, Golden Friday... Gosh can't believe I took up as the main committee again. Should have declined... Till next time then... If there is even a next time...

Anyway, will be having more pictures.. By the way, finally I've decided not to log into Facebook for a month, but whether if I can not log into the laptop, is another matter.

Buffetting : Departure

Sometimes you just have so much time to think and you literally forget the fact that you are still wide awake at 3.30 in the morning.

Many of my friends have left Malaysia in pursuit for their future.

Like them, I too do have my own dreams.

Mine was to fly all the way to Japan.

Some how, I just have this affinity towards that country.

I'm not the crazy die-hard fan of ANIME or DRAMA, aka Otaku(お宅). Otaku is actually derived from the original word itself, the actual meaning of "home". Since these people usually spend their time at home watching anime or drama, people give them these names just to summarise things up.


Enough with j-lessons.


And these thoughts came up.

If one day I were to leave the country, I will choose to leave in silence.


It's just the intuition I have, to leave that way.

Not that it is cool(at some point it's way too cool), but I just don't want or need anyone to be there.

It's not like anyone have been in most of my hard times, and it has become a natural thing that happens to me everyday.


Lately, I've been having thoughts about leaving the group I'm in all these while. It just seemed to be the right thing to do right now. No more obligations, no more stress, and well, no more friends.


In most quizzes, I answered friend as my most important thing in my life. And now, I've finally identify that, I don't live with friends.


I don't live with anyone. I live by me.


Well, thanks again blogspot for having a space for me to scribble.


Till next post then.

Buffetting : For Knowledge

As promised from the last post, I'm suppose to talk about my "surgical" experience in my school's bio lab last week. Yeap, finally the dissection of mouse came.

I can't believe I remembered promising myself that I will not have to dissect a mouse in form 6, because its way overrated, even for a 19 years old boy. But some how, knowing that I need to dissect it, the memory just flashed back.

Anyway, the experience was okay, though I kinda missed out a few facts here and there, because I wasn't giving correct instructions to my "surgeon" that day, Luke. So he snapped a few important veins and arteries here and there.. but our teacher was nice enough to not penalize us. I've got to say, she knows her stuffs.

Anyway, the 3 period worth of experience was okay. I was damn tired on that day so practically everything just swooshed away just like that. Somehow, I think I will be a very impressive surgeon someday, ignoring the fact that my hand trembles a lot by just holding the scalpel for more than 1 minute.

Owh well... by the way, we managed to keep our mouse alive until we accidentally snapped its vein, so enjoy the video:



To sum things up, mid-term is coming way too fast that I can't even cope with my homework without staying up till 2 am on daily basis. Guess the pressure has finally come.


But, I still do appreciate this path I've chosen. I'm much more matured now. Which brings about, I might want to leave what ever groups I've joined.


Well, that's that, till next post.

Buffetting : Appreciation

Just a little recap on my late achievements:
Finally done with my Japanese Advance One class, phew got a Grade A with 93/100. Long way more till I truly master the language, but I am having high hopes.

Got a golden medal for "Bullet Throwing", direct translation from BM's lontar peluru and a silver medal for the Marching event. Quite satisfied, though I wished I could set a higher record of at least 10 metres for the BT event, but too bad I slacked my gym training, I managed to take down the other contestants with 8.8 m only. Oh well.


The school is really trying their best to provide ample benefits for us, the Pre-Us, or in layman's term, Form 6ers. They will be holding camps, workshops and activities to boost our co-curicular marks and also preparation to face STPM.


Well, I can only be thankful to the school for putting their greatest effort in trying to help us out, and also the utmost recognition for our marching event lately.

well, that's all for this post.

Buffetting : Entanglements

Somehow, there is always this surge of entanglement in my life, between my family and my friends.

And believe it or not, I usually prefer to join my friends instead of my bloodlines.

Well, guess I'm just the type who doesn't stick much with my family at any circumstances.

As for this time, the entanglement would be my grandma from my paternal side's 80th birthday.


Supposingly , this was something to be happy and celebrated of, but me being me, the joy didn't quite spurt up.


Due to various "feuds" , the whole event didn't turn out to be up to expectation.

Since it was done in the rural areas, people from an urban area like our family naturally wouldn't be satisfied.


Plus, I had to skip my good friend's farewell on the night before because of this event, where my mum insisted for me to abide to the curfew real hard this time.

To make things worse, I was appointed as the commander for my current school's Pre-University march squad on the morning of this event.

See how things were getting hectic this week?

Did I mentioned that I had my Advance 1 Japanese test on the night I was having the last dinner in 2 years time with my good friends?

Yea I know, my life suck.


Hopefully I can ace my test with at least a 90% score, did studied like hell for it.


Owh yea, all the hard work paid off. The Pre-U squad managed to get a 2nd place for the march event!

Surprisingly we beat the PBSM team, seeing how good they were on the previous days' practices.

And as expected, the Yellow house managed to nab the 1st place as the overall performance. 1st time in my high school life, where by the house I am in got a 1st place.

Speaking of which, I have been in the Yellow house for a sports house for 12 years of my life. I'm not sure if it is a mere coincidence or god intended. If it was, what significance does it bring about behind it?


Gosh there is so much to write about due to the constant current of happenings drowning my life, yet I don't have the time to jot i down anywhere other than in pictures by my faithful n86~

Well, guess I just have to let the pictures to do their miracle work shouldn't I?

Do not let these beauties fool you. They can be really, really mean.

Example: Ewww~ Yong Bin doesn't wash his underwear!!!!!

Just because I wasn't able to finish my sentence.


PS: Slicing and dicing another mouse this coming thursday, will post more on the process next post.

Just a preview:

Buffetting : Traditions

Most chinese readers should be aware that Cheng Beng/Ching Ming is around the corner, when the North-South High Way goes balistically jam in the weekends, and traveling back to the hometown by land would be a hell task.

I've done my fair share last week, as my parents decided to pay our ancestors a visit a week before, so that we can cut short our trips back to Kedah... It is real tiring ya know, seeing how we need to sit in the car for 4 hours, not to mention me suffering from the constant Hokkien songs loading into my ears.

Well, I guess I need to be more understanding for my dad, cause he is the man who drives us back there for 4 hours for the 19 years of my life without any rants.


Guess what?

I went to Ipoh to take on the famous Ah Wong Chicken Rice~

It's weird because the current boss is a Leong(yea yi xian and yuet yin be proud of it), when the bill board clearly state that it is WONG.


Anyway, guess the Wongs only managed get a daughter, so the son-in-law takes over.


Dinner there was good, along with the 988 crew there to get more people to tune into their band by giving out goodies, having dance shows(which was really annoying because they were just doing Hairography all the way...



Then we head over to grandma's. Not much happened until the next day when we went for ancestral offerings, ya know all the typical chinese stuffs... maybe I will blog in detail next year if I had time to shoot some pictures.


So practically that's that.


One thing I realized throughout the whole trip this time is that,

Losers flock with losers

No offense to anyone, but it's just my mere personally point of view. Anyone else may have their thoughts about these people I will be mentioning, but to me, they don't practice what they have preached, and they just give me the same feeling as the person from my Hatred post.


And let me explain why.


First off is the cousin who is the same age as my sis.

He started off well, I GUESS. Seeing that he scored 9As in his SPM while my sis only got 4, he was "recognized" as a better student.

I didn't know how easy SPM was back then, so there was a certain degree of "respect" in a lack of terms.

Anyway, he went for chemical engineering, whereby only people with the smarts can enter, in UTAR.

But, he started complaining about the poor facilities in the campus and sorta complains from his "rich kid" nature, he went off joining my sister for ACCA in Sunway later on.


So, in Malaysia's education system, a person who switches from sciences to arts-based subjects shouldn't have a hard time dealing with it, and plus, he had always boasted on how good he was and how great was he to take on ACCA which have an even lower passing rate compared to a doctor's one.

And my sis only silenced.

Owh yea, and did I mentioned how his parents actually was so PROUD to announce his results around, like 9As was that HARD to get.


Kay, so then the whole wide world how "good" he was, obviously expectations were high too.


Until late last year when my family realized that he actually came home like around 2 or 3 am? which was clearly a taboo in my family because our curfew was at max 1 am, and only guys have the privilege. Bet I forgot to mentioned that he was still staying with our family that time to save some rental cost for him.


And apparently he realized that we've realized, then he moved out.

Soon, I found out that he actually failed his paper, which he actually managed to lie to his dad that he could pass with flying colors.

I was like, huh? Even my sister can pass her papers and he couldn't?


And then I found out that he actually started to blog~ owh, not to promote anything, you can actually drop by at xiangcool.com to see how "wonderful" his sentence structure is, and how he has been trying to call himself a BLOGGER.


Well, I think to him, blogger should have fancy DSLRs, funky looks and most importantly POPULAR....


I'm just a lil confused with the way blog-trafficking in Malaysia works, and it seemed as if the blog count is even more important than the contents themselves.

Anyway, so of course if you readers were a member of Nuffnang, you should know what perks they actually offer. So he went on full blast mode on attending almost ALL the events offered.


I did attend the events.

I did spend time on getting the premier tickets.


But hey, one thing is for sure, I was original.

He was nothing but pure copying other bloggers' writing style and theme, in the expense of his own studies.


Yeap, all play and no work has made our friend here, failed his papers again.

And again.

So, I'm just ranting, how we can make a failure out. One thing is for sure, he is all talk but nothing else.


Look, I might have the urge to go for cool movie premiers and all.

But whats important now is my studies, and I don't easily loosen up just like YOU.


You, you only crave for glory,fame and one day you will wake up, and you will find out that without BLOGGING, you have nothing else.

PS: You are not surviving on your own money, you live on your dad's monthly allowances and you know it.


I have to say this was a quite sucky post, but WTF.


My English is TRULY deteriorating like no one's business.


PS: I give up in trying to upload photos to blogger... its real darn slow..enjoy the boring posts!

Buffetting : Exploration

Just wondering if any of you readers had heard of AISEC. If you have not, do click here because it really provides plenty, especially for you youths.


You probably think that you might need to spend like 5 grands or more to participate in this programs, but honestly, its way more than that.


I've just attended an info session with Ms Nicole Teo,( same surname so automatically connected very easily~) in Taylor's Business School about this, and gosh it was a real eye-opener!



So practically we can choose 2 types of programs, one of it being the project-based and another one, company-based.

Since I'm only a pre-university student, I wouldn't be eligible for the company-based as they usually take in the students in their 2nd or 3rd year in their respective degree.



Take note degree pursuers, wanna stand a chance to take an internship in the top international companies like IBM or P&W? Nab your chances fast and perform well in you interviews because you will get a heck lot of experience you will treasure forever!



So back to project based, they usually want us youths to participate in society projects like Fund Raising Campaign, Awareness Campaign of child abuse or HIV, teaching students a particular language, environmental awareness and etc.


I applied for Japan, but too bad, the Japanese companies demand hardcore workers instead of youths to preach for HIV awareness instead.


Can't really blame them though, they need to pump harder for their productivity count, even more due to the insufficient funds lately.



So I was asked to choose another country, which I had no idea where because the only place I had ever dream of going to is Japan. But seeing China and Taiwan is the next closes country which have the same dialect like I do, I chose them.




Honestly I was real worried when I discussed this over dinner yesterday with my folks. And thank god they approved, asking me to go fur thee to the European countries instead.


Gosh... me? in the Europe countries? Hmm, I have never thought of it though... Maybe I should give it a try, just o experience cultures and see the differences of standards in both countries.. who knows I can bring a change in Malaysia and earn a title in the far future? haha just joking~




Well , its confirmed that I will take on the interview in July, because it will be a real good experience,and nothing will stop me. Even if I am out of funds, I will try my best to work for it.



Anyway, so much for the exploration talk. back to business.



Pheww... just sent my MEXT application letter earlier on. Was a relief. Hopefully I was asked to attend the written exam.


Meaning I really need to start studying like nobody's business and hunt down every single pass year paper if its the last thing I do.



Sometimes it just goes blank when you think of it, and you start to question the point of doing them... Was struggling to choose between life sciences or humanities... succumbed to natural sciences in the end because I can pursue humanities without a proper scholarship.


Well... need to stop playing the sims 3 and start to work on my maths now~

PS: The Sims 3 is real addicting! Can't wait for the expansion pack by pass to appear!

Buffetting : Hatred

Have you ever just have a surge of hatred towards a person without any particular reason?

Fine, I had some bad times with her but some how I just started to hate this family friend of my mum's.


Why?


Well, lets say she is being a little nosy, especially when it comes to my privacy and choices.


Remember I used to indulge in squash?


Well, I had a great time there. My family's badminton time clashes with my squash trainings , so I had to sit the family's session out.

Why should I sacrifice my passion for my family interest?


So the system went on for a long time, until she turns up.


She say I'm deserting myself from my family.



Bloody arse.


I'm pursuing my passion, my life and my ambition.

How is that being deserting?

She brainwashed my mom and my mom started to force and threaten me to join them.


I declined.



And there she goes, having her whole "you are not my son" fiasco again.


And I had to miss my best friend's birthday celebration out.


5 years of solid friendship.


And me being closest to him have to miss it only because I did not join my family's badminton session.


Outrageous and unreasonable.

Yes, I know but thats how the veto power runs in my family.



From then onwards, I have this sudden urge that its this lady who brainwashed my mom.


And I found out, exactly it was her.


Then the hatred continued to burn in me, until today.



I don't know. Maybe I'm being vindictive, over-reacting what ever.



Yet, I know my sub-conscious is telling me that this lady, is not the lady I would want to consolidate to , ever.



Anyway, scratch that. I literally beat myself up for not performing well in my badminton session today.


I'm looking at my left arm, trying to not feel sorry over the bruises and killed red blood cells, not to mention neurones.


It's ok. That's how I manage stress most of the time.



3 days before holidays are over, and I have 5 more subjects to catch up in the homework, not to mention revision.


STPM and MEXT scholarship, I'm nailing you down.

Buffetting : Reminiscing

It was a great night and everyone really had fun.

Its all written on their faces, literally with all the smiles, smacks, jokes and even Andrina's random highness of sugar lately..


I'm sure my primary years were one of the best moments I had in my life, and those bonds made during the 6 years of schooling were infinite.


So strong that the remnants back then, are what made us this close and treasurable,



I have to admit, sometimes, I feel that my primary schoolmates are even more precious than my high school mates, which had went through storms and blazes literally for the past half decade.

Yes, those storms were harsh and tiring, and those who were there are who you call true friends.


But my primary schoolmates, we practically shared every moment in the school together.



The day when SHE came in and spurted us with her "IDIOTS!" words.

The moments when we tremble as the VIRUS turns up.

The days when we smacked each others back just to scare ourselves.

The days when one of us shake the other friend's head, literally because of its size.


The days when we stood strong together against the teacher.(not a good thing but she was really a BI*CH)




Those were the days, and those memories we shared, there were no secrets. Everyone knew exactly everything happened.


Unlike in the high school years, well all I can say is, I couldn't trust much people with matters, and I don't see the mutual trusts.


Yes, in the high school years, we can't be as naive as we were in primary school.



But, those trusts don't just dissipate over time.


Today's gathering was a proof that even being apart for years, we can still come as one and talk as though we have known each other forever.



And when I sat in the same table with my high school mates, sometimes I just don't even see how we were able to connect, apart from the very fact that we were from the same class, same school or same tuition.


There weren't any matters which are SIGNIFICANT enough to hold us together.


Maybe I wasn't giving enough trust to others, or I just don't feel trusted.



Contradicting I know, but this is how I exactly feel around my high school mates.



Wonder how, the batches I belonged to seemed to have real strong bonds , even after years.


I do hope one day, we get to attend each others' wedding, full moon dinner, son's wedding, son's full moon dinner and etc.... And when we sit down, we are still so happy we once met, and we have known each other forever...


It's just so rare to share these fond bonds.



I truly appreciate you, my friends from CKS, Graduates of 6C,2003

Buffetting : A while Now

So, I guess my readers' rates have been declining, almost reaching the plateau near x-axis of the graph...


Anyway, sorry for the inconsistent updates, school was busy, at least for the past few months.

Finally wrapped up the first semester examinations.

Gosh thank goodness I did not pass out during maths... wonder if I can even get an A for it.


Can't believe I'm not expecting An A for maths, after mastering thy subject for the past 11 years of my schooling life.


Guess FORM 6 is NO joke.



Chemistry and Biology remained as the best spoil of the tests, as they come in easy and passed with a breeze.


PA, its still a miracle if I get An A, though I am really hoping for a 4 flat because I need all the good grades for the university application ,soon.


Pharmacy is one of the hardcore courses coveted by people around the world, surpassing engineering courses by miles.


So, if I really want to be on par, I've got some buckling up to do.




So, that sums up what I've been up to and the reasons I couldn't devote time to update this precious B_L_O_G.


PS: my love for chemistry is hauling by the day... geez i might end up surrounded by chemistry books in the future....
____________________________________________________________________


Next up, gossip.


The juiciest gossip around, in which including me fighting with my sister over this laptop now, is the Jack Neo sex scandal thingy.


One thing I never understand other men is,

Why even get married, when you know you will run wild and freaking fuck other women other than your wife out there some day?


1st of, you are cheating you wife, and hurting her big time. Imagine your wife had an affair. Don't tell me you are nice to enough to say, " As long as she still loves me, I'm okay," this is only for those who are naturally impotent, not for those who ask for fucks every night.

2ndly, you are being so dishonest to your feelings. Honestly speaking, personally I don't expect myself to get laid. I don't SEE myself being able to handle someone day and night, and not expect to get bored or try to get someone else to chat with, or live with. Sometimes, things get boring and we need to go VERSATILE ya know... I know its unfair to the mate, but if both party established a mutual understanding before, I don't see how this system can't work.

Yes, you will need to becareful with STDs, raging ex-es hunting you dicks down and bla-bla-bla...
Yet, bu the end of the day, you didn't affect the mate's life, much enough to devastate them.

3rdly, once you have kids, you are forever bound. People often think that kids are like the crystalisation of a pair's love, and it can catalyze relationships. Did anyone mentioned it catalyzes relationships to both heaven and chaos? A couple will have even more things to argue over when you have a baby in the house. Worse still, the innocent child gets the blame, pressure and all sorts of nonsense, because of the irrational acts of his parents.


So, Jack Neo, you are one hell of a reputable director and I respect your works. But you are NOT professional enough to differentiate the intimacy between a co-worker and a lover. It's a miracle that you have gone this far without being caught but, who knows whats gonna happen to you in a few years' time.

Although this scandal has proven Jack Neo's incapabilities of sorting out his relationships, his movies WERE fine, and the movies lately are getting quite funny, not in the good way I might add.
