THINK in Motion

What's today topic? THINK IN MOTION ! What is it? Read on to find out then.



Recently most of the Form 5 Graduates are chit-chatting , gossiping , asking , telling , answering the same thing over and over again. Guess what is it ?

Ans : 1. Where are you going to study?

2. What are you going to study ?

3. What you want to be?

4. What scholarship is available?

............ Revolving around here.........



Honestly , I really have no idea what am I going to be. No doubt I have my dreams but whether to achieve them or not , it's still another problem. I have a lot of interests. And I like to expose to many things around me , that applies to knowledge as well. People always told me that I am good in many things so whatever I chose will not be a problem. For me , that IS the problem. I have no specialisation into certain field. I conclude that choosing a career is a hard time. Sometimes you plan to be this , but ended up going into another career.

Conclusion : I don't know what to study.



Science stream and art stream. Another problem for me. In Malaysia , people always have misconcept between these two streams. In their mind , science stream is for the clever and diligent students while the poor and weak will be in art stream. Actually both of them are of equal standard. However , I do admit that science subjects will be tougher than art's. Having studied for 2 years in science stream , the fame of "science student" has really made me proud of myself. However, to think that taking science subjects for my A Level , it will be terrible. Why ? Because I only love Biology. For Physics and Chemistry , I only love to know them and not study them. So , salute to those who take science subjects in their further studies. Now , thinking that I am going to venture into art stream , the pressure of science is still there. Friends around me told me that they wanted to study chemical engineering , biotechnology (which I thought I might take it) , biomedical science , pharmacy , hydraulic engineering , aerospace engineering....yada yada.... The title itself already overpowers the art stream's. Ya I know , I'm having the pre-conception like the misconcep. Imagining that they're having higher pay is another problem. Some told me , "Look at the singers or actors , most are not from science stream but yet they can earn more than the science students who struggle all their lives in development and discovery." What does this prove ? Art is also comparable to science? Well , I dont know. As that is the singers or actors' business. They earn more because they got their own assets- vocal and of course , appearance and bodyshape. The science students might as well undergo operation to have an attractive appearance and lipsync to synthetic vocal. Ya....sounds nice but then without them , mankind will not develop anymore.



Where to study? Have you done any research on that college? Have you collected opinions about the college from others? Compare this and that will end up having youself sick. Headache. Best way ? Dont study and go looking for job ? CRAZY! Calculate how much will you earn a month then. Trying to debate with me that working in Kenny Rogers will earn you RM3.50 per hour and if you work for 11 hours a day , a month you can earn RM1155 as your basic income not including EPF , Bonus , Commission and such ? Claiming that the pay is almost the same as a fresh engineer? You might be right for some points but I totally disagree. How are you going to have your own free time? An enginner need not work 11 hours a day to get that pay. And he or she might still got plenty of time to spend for leisure. And his/her pay will not always be that low. As time passes , the pay increases. Topped up that he/she is in the professional bodies , the basic income alone will surpass yours at least by 2 times. And you cant possibly work 24 hours a day , it is not 7-11. Okay okay , I know you're fuming. And shoot me back that you're happy with your job. Ya , I know but I am just telling you that time wise + salary wise = good job.



You wont know until the last , teaching is another perfect job as well. Be a well known teacher , then open a tuition centre , you earn RM60 from each student. Supposing you have 50 students in a class . You earn RM3600. And that is just for 1 session. By renting rooms to other teachers and have more session , utilities and RM500K for the shop will be earned back really fast.

Review on Year 2007

Reminiscing back to year 2007. Witnessing what had I done in this year.

January
Obviously , school reopened. First day of school , I started to wear the froggish vest and tie. My friends , Siang Leng who appeared to be a prefect , also dressed neatly with his black vest and stylist tie - red tie with golden lining topped up with our school's logo. That year , we were using the same classroom as in year 2006. I still ended up in my old seat. No change. Ya-lar~ Good Feng Shui mah~ Ops....Malaysia slang again.
Move on to the teachers. Mostly they stayed the same. Only a few changes. Like , Chemistry , Additional Math and Moral teacher (constantly changing , I wonder is there any curse on this post).
Could not believe that they started to teach at the very first day. What can I expect? SPM Year.
Apparently nothing much happen in January. Only thing that I remember clearly is the time I get scolded by Mdm Lee Ee Ling,teacher-in-charge of the Monitorial Board. She blamed me for not going to school early to perform my duty as the President of Monitorial Board. However , my duty was not to call the students to go to the hall but the AJK. Well , perhaps she was not in good mood that day.

February
Chinese New Year time! Busy doing this and that. Running here and there for Monitors' business. Class presentation on global warming for EST. My group did a lot of research from different sources so as to outstanding the other groups. It blossomed in the end and I have my gratitude to my members-Albert , Francis CHONG and not WEE , Siang Leng and of course , applause to myself. >.<>

March
Exam period lasted for 1 week. Well managed and quite okay. Followed up , school HOLIDAYS! Duh , playing online game. Ya I know it's SPM and I've vowed not to play any but...hey , cant I have some time to relax ?

April
Nothing much special. April's Fool as well. Remembered that English Club selling "Stupid Box". Well , it is really stupid and not worth to buy one. Started to work up for the school magazine's advertisement column. Going here and there to find sponsors. Sending email after email and letters after letters to the so called big and famous companies. Starting to worried because no one has replied yet until almost the end of the month. So happy for the achievement. I also ke po-ing into other sections' business. For instance , the Editorial's job. Interferring them on the front cover design and texture. However , the teacher didnt want to be the special one. So , end of story.

May
Semester 1 examination was held officially. As usual , last minute revision. Again , managed. Mother's Day. Cant remember what I did. The rest is the same. Schooling and going for tuition.

June
Had a drama for my Sejarah. But still , not as smooth as what I had in mind. However , we still managed to grap Pn. Isking's interest. Since I have nothing much for June , I will just elaborate on the drama. Solely completed the script. And had a very very last minute rehearsal. Just on that day early in the morning we had our rehearsal. It was still very fun though. Especially the part at which Francis was about to declare war..."PERANG~PERANG~" Due to last minute work , we did not have the time to rehearse. Everyone was running blindly in all directions. No one knew who did he suppose to attact. My part was on the JWW Birch. It was so funny. We were supposed to use only paper-made props. Well , I've said , it's last minute! Hereby , I take this opportunity to thanks my members again - Albert , Francis , Siang Leng and Wan Ning for going through this with me.

July

Another drama for English. Jungle of Hope~Again , there was a group discussion on the script , costume and the actors/actresses. Having a serious fight with Albert because of the actor's part. Using this opportunity , I'd like to ask for forgiveness. A lot of effort was made to perfectionise the drama including shopping in Indian Street to buy materials for our costume. Chose a few nice fabrics and stupid instrument for my part - BOMOH. Ye , so funny! Smashed my bottle during the presentation. HEART ATTACKED! One of my precious collection just smashed into tiny pieces. Very happy and enjoy it very much. Thanks to Mdm Teo for letting us the chance to play. Madelyn kept changing her costume. Grapped others fabric and wrapped herself here and there. Again , thanks to my members - Albert , Francis , Madelyn , Siang Leng and Wan Ning.

August
A very busy month. Why? Because of the MERDEKA thing! For Monitorial Board , we organized an annual competition which is "Kelas Paling Patriotik". Last year we got the first. And this year , we wouldnt let anyone to have the chance as well. Decorated here and there. Ya , we are the first again. Pn Chong Lee San , our Moral teacher , threw us a project- Traditional costume design. We were supposed to combine as many races' traditional outfits into one as we can. Again , we went to Indian Street to search for nice fabrics and accessories. With the help of my friend - Joyce , we got a perfect design. Siang Leng contributed his Barbie's Doll as our model. Though our teacher just want us to draw out the pattern , but I insisted in doing a real one instead. Unbelievable , we made it. And it is a success. We were praised by Pn Chong and awarded bonus marks for our markah sahsiah. Thanks again to Albert , Francis , Siang Leng and Wan Ning.

September
Mdm Daisy , our EST teacher , gave us another project-combining two animals into one. We had no inspiration and we created a funny but cute animal. We combined the whale with eagle. The whale can fly. Sincerely , we were fooling around for this project. Aother group did a very interesting combination. They combined frog and cow that they named it as frog-moo. The cow has the tongue of the frog and the skin of the frog but maintain the splashes of black ink of the cow. It has the tail of the cow and also the mammary glands. I dare to tell you , it is really interesting. The cow-moo will swing its tail to swap the mosquitoes to the front and the long tongue of it enables it to "catch" the mosquitoes. The frog-moo also produces milk. However , you dare to drink? Milk which comes from the digestion of mosquitoes? Forgot to mention it's legs. It has the legs of the frog. Therefore , frog-moo hops. Haha.
End of the month we were really busy preparing for our trial exam. No more time to fool around.

October
Our trial SPM period. Browsed many useful webs to gain tips and other States' trial papers as reference. Everyone was in study mood. After the test , the time was near-SPM. Many of us did not attend to school regularly. Going to school just to get our test papers. Ya , most people vanished into the thin air without any symptom.Oh ya. And that month , it was our first time experiencing scholarship interview. We got the scholarship. However it is still too expensive as we do not get full scholarship.We were all very nervous and had no idea how fluent our english are. We collected and compiled our certificates and our forecast result to be certified by the school. The interview was not as tensed and serious as what I had in my mind. I gained 60% scholarship but the remaining 40% is still an astronomical value to me. So , bye bye to Brittin College in United Kingdom. So......study and study and study....

November-December
Graduation Day. No one cried. Finally , it came. It was time for us ...to WAR~ Equipped with our best swords , lances , staffs , wands , best quality armors , robes , hats. To fight till our last blood. For the future and not the queen. First day , the day was bright. A bit shocked for what had come out in the papers. Crossed fingers and hope we success. In midst , after Biology papers , we had our dinner for the magazine's committee. Holy God , the food was too salty , sweet , spicy , tasteless. No offence. Till the very last day , Chinese paper. A lot apparently had forgotten to bring their IC. And yes ......SPM is over! But waiting for the result is another torturing period. Played online game with my friends meanwhile checking in web for more scholarships and colleges stuff.

Conclusion : WOW...I didnt expect to have such short review. Hehe. I think there are more activities but I've forgotten. Anyway , I'm feeling nostalgic. Missing school days. Missing the fun to see friends around everyday and talking , gossiping , playing and much more.Missing the teachers especially lectures and nervousness feeling from Mdm Angie. Missing the time I stand by the road side to wait for my parents to fetch me back. Missing my school. The corridors , the football field. Every corners that have my footprints on them......they will all seal in my memory. Farewell , what a small word which implies a very deep meaning. Salute to 4 Alpha / 5 Alpha of year 2006/2007 ! May all of us have the bright future and everlasting friendship. * As we desire , so mote it be* :p



Reborn of the Phoenix

(I)
Having my previous "Phoenix" burned into ashes and now she is REBORN. Since the beginning of Secondary Five , I had indulged myself in a plethora of busy works. Gosh , those works really made me to have less time in blogging. And now , the time has come. So keep in touch !



Ashes to ashes,Spirits to spirits ,
From the holy fire embarks into luminous flames,
For the darkest night time where not even a star shines,
Fear no more for the thirst of darkness,
Shine along with the phoenix's glows,

Let's us shine towards every corner of darkness.

(II)
Since so many of my friends around me start to blog , irresistantly , the blogging trend is just like an infectious disease which has penetrated my first defence -the skin , followed up to the second and third but yet have not been "denatured". It strongly altered my genes and carved deeply into my soul. Inseperatable. Any cure? It's still under construction ! Perhaps one day you might pop up and tell me that you've found a cure.
