Things really gotta change

On a hot Saturday morning, the day after the 911 8th anniversary, there were 'cold war', 'peace talk', 'supposedly World War', for the students as their parents meet their children teachers and the teachers shall expose all whatever the student had done in school (good or bad), subject to 'self-censorship'. The hall was pretty busy for the 1st hr, but after that it slowly became 'a creepy place' because it was very quiet. And, I have to wait for the 'closing ceremony' of the MPH for my dad to come as he had meeting earlier, and got lost somehow! Dad I already told you before:GET A GPS! LOL! Well that is a witness account of what happened just now in MPH!

Nihao people, zheng zi how ma, Cai Nu Li To Achieve Better Next Time! JIAYOU! *suddenly jumping* Finally, after my phone went 'babau', my dad had agreed to buy me a new phone, YAHOO! Inda pulang very latest tapi bolehlah ada 3.5G, camera & bluetooth its enough for me. Probably, the phone is on the 'next plane to Brunei' or still with the Merlions? Next yr, Im gonna get an iPhone 3GS when I go to Singapore to further my studies. Phone talk tutup kedai, its time for some serious talk!

The journey of a PreU student is almost coming to an end, but the journey to the finish line is very very tiring as a lot of hardwork is required, and the 50% given by teachers are already almost fulfilled, now the another 50% depends on yourself/myself. And maybe some % depends on the Cambridge examiners mood, but the main thing is to reach the finish line with a good position, you gotta have the will to succeed, willing to work hard, sacrifice other unimportant things (gaming, TV, relationship but dont let it putus), and of course have to work hard. But, you cant also discard other technical issues such as 'pens', as I got lots of bad experiences related to 'pen rosak' in tests, I really hope that problem wont affect me and others sitting for A Level. As I type, this post, really I really have to start working hard on my subjects such as Biz Studies & Maths, while maintaining my standard for GP & Accounting(Miss Tan hopes that I can get perfection, 10 chuan shi mei). Expectations are really running extremely high for me as this teacher expect Top in The World, Top 10 in the world, etc. I also dont want to disappoint them when the results come out in February 2010, so theme is WORK HARD and dont just make it 'kata lain, buat lain'. 'The grass is not always greener on the other side'. Klik had something really interesting to inspire every1:Sesungguhnya kelmarin bagaikan mimpi yg telah berlalu sedangkan esok adalah suatu harapan yg indah walaupun hari ni adalah realiti kehidupan sebenar! Another is from Blue J song lyrics which if translated goes like this:YES PLEASE DONT GIVE UP DONT SAY NO! WHAT WAS BEFORE THE EYE WAS A DREAM, STICK TO IT OR GIVE UP!

People this post is getting very long, because I gotta express my feelings out because this is 'My Life, My Expression'. Lastly, last few days had a few photo session with GP set mates & Accounting set mates. Thanks to Shuaib & Terence for being the photographer.
THATS IT PEOPLE, HAPPY HOLIDAY BECAUSE ITS NOT SO HAPPY BUT TRY TO MAKE IT A HAPPY ONE! AND HAVE A PRODUCTIVE 1!
P.S. 12 most annoying type of Facebookers include me sorry facebook friends for annoying you all for the past 1 yr! Today is the 22th day of Ramadan which is part of day 21-30 of Ramadan which is known as Lailatul-Qadar, where Muslims are encouraged to pray to Allah, as the pahala is 1000X more than usually. Macam pandai Agama pula aku ni, hmm!

Reminscing The Times (Feb 08 - Sept 09)

Salam 1Malaysia, Sawadikap, Anhyeongsayo (ngam kah?), Hi, Maybe Im Back Kot?
Its exactly 562 days since 28th February 2008 (PreU batch 08/09 starts), but it seems that it was just last month that I had started PreU courses. Many interesting things happened, right from the beginning of the orientation till today (either sad, happy or shocking things, events) and the story will still go on until end of November, when holiday start for us till result is released. From Dec 09 till end of Jan/early Feb 2010, just sit back relax and enjoy the long holidays or have a productive one by getting part-time jobs (including membajak sawah incase your family have 1, fishing but be careful you dont want to fall into the longkang/river/sea). And even organising activities such as trips, proms, parties like what Im gonna do, if I get the necessary things and permission, incase police make spot-checks.
Recapping what happen during GP classes, especially presentations were FUN . We had a short-acting while doing the topics 'Care for the aged', and the winner of GP Class Oscars goes to Miss Tiqah HL berlakon sebagai Dang Kasum, eh salah Tiqah Bling-bling. Jangan marah, musim Puasa ni, inda baik! Next time, I will post up our dialogues and my dear blog readers you shall have a good laugh, since the whole class laughed at our 'drama'! Another was the game of guessing 'how many deaths due to diseases in Brunei', while presenting on Health & Medicine. 1 student commented in the assessment sheet, 'Its ironic how no. of deaths can become a fun game'. Our group presentation on corruption was also FUN, because of weird facts and true facts and 1 of them were really funny. A person who was convicted for corruption said "I dont know how to launder money, I only know how to do teeth cleaning'
Thats about it, since I have wrote so much and I dont think people will want to read such a long post, so I will continue in my next posting on Saturday after I got my results.
Terima Kasih, Kamsanida, Kap kun ka for reading this post on PreU memories. Signing off!
P.S. Space policeman is a weird song! Go to Kaohshiung is also a weird song, oh yes there is a Love River/Ai He (nama sebenar) there!
Raya Kedua, I got a doa selamat to attend as my best friend is flying to UK after Raya, so sad I couldnt go UK. Haha, need to buy cara Melayu, wah 1st time aku pakai cara Melayu (upholding 1Malaysia concept)
Last word of this post:Sorry kepada pemilik blog Reminscing The Times. Mizi R Kerana Aku Pakai Nama Blogmu As My Post Title!

Stories of life

Salam 1Malaysia, to all my blog readers whether you are in Brunei, Malaysia or anywhere else in the world, maybe even in other planets, since recently there is a program called 'Hello from Earth', where you can send message to aliens, perhaps if they exist. Today not going to talk much about my life, but instead will tell a story.

Qualifying results were pretty good so far, except some 'marks thrown to the drains' due to my carelessness again! Mrs Joan was pleased with her set's performance as we, the students of set 1, 2, 3 are at the top again! *drum roll, salute 2 all* As usual, she was very impressed with my essay, that I was one of the 3 students that obtained the highest mark of 40 in P1! Pressure on me, as she hopes that in Nov, I would be one of the students that got Top In The World for GP. Well lets see how it goes!

Just now, heard something exploding, thought someone was playing 'meriam buluh' in the afternoon, but nah 'just tyre punctured'. I have nothing else to say, let's start the story. Enjoy

Story of life 1
Andy was a student of a school in Bandar Kupang. He comes from a middle class family, but he had a distant uncle, named Mr A who is very rich that every year he contibutes millions of kupangs (currency in Country Kupang) to the higher-education institutions in that country. But, what he dont know is this so-called uncle of his, dont want to mengaku Andy's father side family members as his relative, because the gap between them were like Petronas Twin Tower and rumah setinggan. Even though, Andy's father mother (grandmother) was Mr A sister, he refused to mengaku them as his relative, after some incidents happened years back and also he 'pandang rendah' pada orang miskin. Once, Andy went to his uncle house during festivities, too bad his uncle and his auntie were on a cruising trip, perhaps trying to avoid 'poor relatives'. Another time, Andy's dad tried to call this Mr A because his sister had passed away but failed to contact him, maybe because he had changed his phone no. to avoid 'poor relatives' to ask for assistance. Sister had passed away also 'tak nak' pay last respect! At least pergilah. if though dont want to give any 'wang derma'. This is totally, 'putus tali persaudaraan'. Kesian, Andy family! This year, Andy is going to sit for Kupang Senior Exam (Pre U exam), and next year going to university. Andy grandfather say to Andy's dad, apply scholarship at his great grand uncle foundation, Great Mr A- Foundation. Sure dapat punya. Andy wasnt so sure about applying for it, since the scholarship is limited and competition was intense. Although, Andy was his family member, I dont think that Andy would get it if he was to only depend on 'connection' because this Mr A dont even know Andy, and the money was adminstered by a group of professionals.
The morale of the story is if you are not the same status with your relative, you will be looked down at like what Andy experienced. Unless, your relative remember that before he becomes rich, he was poor too!
That's it folks, for this posting. Before I leave, dont let the cows roam around as you may get fined, or even your cow will end up in expected place or even get it head smashed and make headlines.
Sayonara, salam 1Malaysia, Salam Perpaduan Semua Kaum, Toleransi Asas Keharmonian Kita. Selamat Berpuasa, Selamat Berhati2 Waktu Malam kerana ini bulan 7 kalendar Cina

Lesson in life

1st of all congrats to 84.58% of 1899 students who have sat 4 BGCE AS Level June 2009 & passed it, especially 2 SMSAians. 4 those who have passed with flying colours (at least 1 'a' grade) congrats also. For those who have passed with 'not-so-nice' grades, your life journey is still very far, as the aim is the peak of the mountain, continue working hard. Me? Um, let's just say I passed, no need further comments! Ok before I move on 2 another story, some interesting point 2 note about this AS exam! Accounting 2 & Biz Studies 2 marks that have to be obtained to get an 'a' grade as well as a pass is quite low.

Lesson 1:
Ah Chong, Ahmad & Muthu is going on a bus. 2 of them is going to Bandar Serai, they asked the driver is this the bus to Bandar Serai, the driver say yes. So, they board the buslah! When, the bus started to move, arrived at a junction they realised that they have boarded the bus to Bandar Kuaci. BUS SALAHLAH! They then tell the driver that, the driver felt pity for them since its musim Puasa, he drove them to Bandar Serai, their intended destination. My question is who is the bus driver and why the bus driver made the mistake or the passengers is at fault? Haiya, minta kuah dibagi gula, hmm angguk2 geleng2 LOL!
The morale of the story is 'tanya sebelum naik bas nanti naik bas salah entah ke mana'
Lesson 2:
Ah Lim, Leman & Loga is in a shop. They are going to buy some drinks for their sungkai party late in the evening. After choosing their favourite beverages, 3 of them went to the counter to pay their purchases (yelah, takkan nak dicop sebagai pencuri minuman kot!). When the cashier scanned the items, one of them realised that the price was not as stated in the price tag. He then, asked the cashier, the cashier then lari litang pukang macam dikejar pegawai to check it. A few minutes later, she returned & said 'sorry the price on the POS is correct & price tag is salah'.
The morale of the story is check your receipts, price tag & as well as look as POS, you never knew when you will be stripped of a few dollars by the shop. If the difference is a few cents dont make a fuss, just pretend nothing happened. To shopkeepers pleaselah dont put misleading price tags, later people called Jabatan Kepenggunaan baru tau!
Ok people I hope that you have learned a few tricks thru these 2 lesson in life stories. After waiting for months, finally I've got my own Uniqlo T-shirt. Its nice , next time then I will post the UT picts, Anyone want 2 b my model?
Lastly, wish MY NEGARAKU, Malaysia Selamat Merdeka Ke 52. 1 Malaysia is the theme.
1 bangsa, 1 negara, inilah Malaysiaku yg ideal
That it folks, secondary stress level have just goes down by 2rw since Qualifying is ending 2mrw while the primary stress level will still be high as A Level is just around 2 months 2 GO!
Bye, Selamat Merdeka, Selamat Berpuasa
P.S. Suddenly I remembered something that my ex tuition teacher, Miss Yong have told me back in yr 2003-2004 regarding the school where she taught, SMPAPHRSB. Somebody have been caught di belakang sekolah, for doing something! Is this true, can any1 provide me some info any ex-SMPAPHRSB?

17 Days

That is the length of time I had not been able to tell stories in this blog, as Qualifying Exam is really cracking my head over anything else. Its 17 Days! Ok stop complaining, semua orang tengah stress ni menghadapi Qualifying Exam & waiting anxiously for AS June results
For the past 17 days, so many things had occured around our surroundings, the nation as well as around the world. Someone in somewhere in the cyberspace, describe its as 'tongue-bitting, amusing'.
Qualifying Exam for me was quite unpredictable for some papers, while some I totally had no idea what I wrote in the answer scripts. Anyway starting 31st August 2009, tutors will start distributing back answer scripts. I really hope that the papers will be as patriotic as me as 31st August 2009 is Malaysia's 52 Merdeka celebration. *Tanggal 31 bulan 8 57 merdeka merdeka hari bahagia sambut dengan jiwa yg merdeka*
As of now I & a few thousands around Brunei who had sat for June 2009 O, AS & A Level is still waiting for our results. CIE had released results on August 10, and hardcopies of it are expected to arrive in Brunei in 10 days. My prediction it should be released on Monday, 24th August. Anyway, good luck to all who have sat for it. We have done our best and the 'powers above' have decided what our grades are. IT WILL BE SOON!
Happy Belated 18th Birthday To Angie IC No 9108XX-XX-XXXX, too bad you cant really celebrate it. Now you are legally allowed to drive, drink, etc. Jabatan Latihan Khidmat Negara sila cari orang ni, dan tangkap dia ke Kem PLKN di Sipitang or Kuala Sepetang. (Boh, I am a bad friend always ask for Maths help for her but say tangkap her to PLKN, SORRY YA!)
Lastly, good luck to the Perancang Bandar Brunei Pada Masa Depan dari SMSA for your participation in the Habitat Day competition. Brunei will be awaiting your masterpieces that can get Aga Khan Architecture Awards
Sebelum menutup bicara, ingin saya mengucapkan Selamat Menunaikan Ibadah Puasa Dalam Bulan Ramadan Al Mubarak Yg Mulia Ini Kepada Umat Islam Di Serata Dunia (terutama kepada Dr Rabbit, my dear friend) , Semoga Ibadat Anda Semua Diterima Oleh Allah.
Oh ya, lastly Hungry Ghost Month will also start soon so people dont lari2 waktu malam2 buta nanti perkara2 yg tak diingini terjadi (faham2 ajelah)
SELAMAT BERPUASA, CONTROL SIKIT ITS A HOLY MONTH

True Confessions

Nobody in this world is perfect not even a student who obtained 'perfect 10' in Maths test. We all have flaws and we learn from mistakes. This include people like me and you.
These few days, set 4 Maths had been SCOLDED repeatedly by our tutor, Miss Tor. The reason is not doing our work properly aka mainly copy. I had been praised as 'hardworking', but here all my blog readers, I wish to say that IT AINT TRUE. Thats 1 confession, I AM NOT A HARDWORKING STUDENT!
Another confession, people thinks that Im very innocent, rajin, smart, blablabla..... Didn't someone ever told you that 'Never Judge The Book By Its Cover'. Innocent looking, hmm no comments about that but Im certainly not as you think (not so innocent). Rajin maybe not, as I only try to complete the H/W of the day and nothing more usually. Smart, nah Im just lucky that I got through to Sixth Form.
Another thing, is that when Im in Secondary level, I always talk bad things about my teachers, 'di belakang mereka'. Sorry teachers
Another thing is Im also envious of whatever people have. For example, someone have iPod Touch, I dont have I really want 1, so I pester my parents to get me one, they refused. P.S. For those thinking that 'anak tunggal' get all the perks, well think again because I aint got a lot.
Ok, thats quite it of my darker side, I will try to change some of them so that I wont have the same regret again & I want to have one of the most memorable things in my life.
Bye, Happy Sunday
