Happiest Christmas!!!

I have never really celebrated Christmas, but spending it with my idol is the best! Thanks to my sis Jin, I got the chance to dine with Daniel during Christmas. The dinner was at myKTV in Mid Valley from 7pm to 8.30pm.

My sis and I were quite late when we arrived there, after buying some batteries for the camera (which we borrowed from our friend). While waiting for an 8TV staff to bring us in, Suddenly Daniel arrived and walked pass us. I called out his name, but he didn’t react, I guess he didn’t notice us. We were brought to a Karaoke room, quite big in size, with 2 levels and 2 section on each level. The was a huge OHP screen screen in front showing Daniel’s MV . I didn’t really finish watching it though, regret a bit.

Before Daniel came into the room, Auntie Paris introduce herself. It went on with the other fans. When Daniel came in, Everyone had their cameras ready and there were so many flashes. Daniel looked a bit blur in the beginning and seemed to not know where to stand, haha! He was ..cute of course, and his dressing was funky. It was so great just looking at him..hehee..

Daniel greeted us with his melt-you smiles and sweet voice! Then the questions and answers session began. Ssuet started the session by asking Daniel whether he was scared by the fans¡¯ reactions; grabbing his shirt, hands etc. Daniel admitted he was frightened. He hoped that fans would think of their own and his safety.

Then, it was Auntie Paris’ turn. She asked him whether he was scared to see her; the aunty who asked him whether he remembered her or not whenever she saw him. Daniel said that she was not the only one who did that! And he asked me whether she was one of the winners. She told him that in fact she had to thank Gymnast, because she pm her and asked her how to take part in this contest. Before she could help her, she tried to send in an entry and that’s how she won it! Then she congratulated him on the sales of his debut album hitting 15,000 copies and winning the Golden Disc Award. He was very happy!

Next, Jin asked Daniel about his trip to Taiwan and where he visited there. He replied ‘Tai Zhong’ and ‘Taipei’ and something else, I forgot. It was an experience that Daniel did not like to disclose much. Then I went on to question him about his friendship with Victor. He replied that he had known Victor through some competitions and had sometimes worked with him, like Victor singing and him playing the guitar. I sort of lost my mind and panicked when I asked the questions (coz I haven’t prepared for it) until the PA complained that questions should be asked about Daniel and not some one else! I also asked him about why he must oblige by the company’s directives. Daniel explained that the company is more experience in handling fans and other aspects. But sometimes he did try to lodge appeals! He emphasized that there is a mutual understanding between him and his record company. One thing that he told us was he didn’t really have the heart to release the song but since the company said that the song would make him popular, he agreed. I asked him what his favourite songs were, he replied the 1st as and 2nd fave is (2nd Childhood).

Another non-pinky asked the PA how she thought of Daniel. She replied that Daniel was very ‘gan cham’ because he was a perfectionist. Daniel admitted it. She said that Daniel would ask a lot of questions before finally agreeing to do something!


Jennifer then asked him about how he became the special guest in Jay’s concert. Daniel explained that just like us; he entered a competition & won the chance to meet Jay. During the meet, the participants were given the chance to show what they would show to their idol. He was brave enough to grab the chance and ended as Jay’s special guest.

“During the q-&-a session, I noticed tt Daniel tried very hard to put across the message that he had certain sets of rules to abide by and he sincerely hoped that fans would not misunderstand him. He is still the same old Daniel, the HUMBLE and GRATEFUL Daniel! Therefore, please try to understand that he is neither ‘action’ nor snobbish. We love him, we must TRUST him!” ~Auntie Paris.

Next come the Karaoke time. Daniel started off with , and when he started singing, almost everyone went to the front to take photos of him. Jin even took some videos. It was like the performance he often gave on stage, the difference is that we were close to him. Hah! After that, he sat down again, and answered some questions again. Then, played on the screen, he started singing while sitting (in front of the screen) and later stood up. And a non-pinkie Michelle asked him whether our camera flashes disturbs his performance. He said yes, and went on to elaborate, but at that time I took another photo of him (since he was close and was looking this way), which of course, gave him a surprise. It was naughty of me to play this joke…hope he didn’t mind.

Suddenly played on the screen but he said he didn’t really know how to sing. Somehow, he was standing nearby at that time and looking around, I asked him if he knows . He knew that I was asking him, but he didn’t catch my words. *Anyway, this is enough to flatter me! Haha!* Vivy, Winnie and ~Priscilla~ then sang <> with him. Next, <> !Though many joined in the singing, including me, it was really a different kind of experience to hear Daniel singing right in front! And guess what, though he was standing in the middle alley (with steps) in the beginning while singing, he gradually moved to the side… to MY side! Hahaha! I was rejoicing in my heart! He was actually so close to me that I could reach him just reaching out my hand! Hehe… A while later was played, Daniel wasn’t too familiar with the verse, but I managed to sing the 1st chorus with him, though, I was bad, I passed away the mic later.

Lastly, a duet between Daniel & Tong Tong (a non-Pinky) in the song ,<< Wu Ding>> , they were joined by ~Priscilla~ later. I wanted to join in, but I didn’t really know how to sing the front verse of the song, so I didn’t.

Next came the autograph session. Jin and I went to the 2nd level for that. Our album and single were signed already, so Daniel wrote our names on the booklets instead. We nearly forgot the present we had prepared for him (a neck tie). I took a photo with him first, then Jin took one with him, holding the present. Hmm.. now I know his height compared to mine…haha! For the rest of the time, we sat in our seats, talking or looking at Daniel who were behind and higher than us. I noticed his glass of watermelon juice (his fave) which wasn’t finished by half yet. (Jin wanted to take a photo of it, but the waiter took it away before she could do that. Hehe..)

Daniel left us, without eating, about 3 minutes before 8.30pm. He was to go to the next room for an interview with 8TV. Only then did we have our dinner which was served since the whole session started. Of course, it was cold. After taking some food, we talked a while with Auntie Paris and her daughter Yin, had her autograph, then took a photo with the Superstar guy Wei Jun and had his autograph. I was the last to leave. We went out of myKTV and took a photo with Auntie Paris and Yin.

Well, the whole session was an extraordinary experience. I enjoyed myself all the way, I tried to have my chance of speaking to Daniel. Though, now I regretted for asking him some unsuitable, sensitive and maybe “rude” questions, I really hope that he won’t keep in his heart. After all, I hope to leave a good impression in him and hopes that he would remember me, though I guess I may not be able to attend any of his gigs anymore. From this “dinner”, I gained a lot, besides meeting and chatting with Daniel (that’s the most important thing), I met some really nice people from Daniel Fans Club – Auntie Paris, Yin, Vivian… And got to meet Wei Jun too, hehe…

Anyway, I still hope that I have the chance to meet Daniel again. I will support him, as long as he supports his fans.


Thanks to Auntie Paris in DFC.

Yey! Da 9-Gal-Gang will create a history in Payar Island!

This is the group of us who succeeded in...no, not climbing the everest, but reaching the platform at the far end. Though we have life jackets, it was really tough for most of us, and only some of the girls (including me =D ) completed this 'task'. Hmm, no regrets for this visit to Payar Island!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Yoohoo! See us? Those in red lah.. Yeah! we reached our destination. If you think you see some white people in front of us, you are right. I really admire them (a father and his 3 girls) who swam without life jackets.

Oh no! The Jaws!!! Haha...after lunch, we saw some sharks nearby, about 10 metres from the shore. The staff was feeding them some fish.

The starwalk Carnival charity concert. These were some of the performers. Thank goodness we managed to arrive at PISA in time. Overall the show was quite enjoyable, except for the boria performance, which I didn't like.

Lady Luck is with her!!

I'm so so happy for my sister. I got so excited when I saw her name on the TV screen. Yes! It's for the contest to dine with Daniel on Christmas day! And she won! WOW!!! So lucky of her. So didn't really believe me when I said so that her name was there, since the list was blocked by advertisement.

But yeah, it was true, we got confirmation from the forum. Got to know that the winners can bring another person with them, but we don't wanna hope too much before we got the call from 8TV staff. If it's true, provided that our parents allow, this would be a super-duper Christmas present!!! YAHHOOOOO!!!

Daniel @ Mid Valley

Had some trouble planning for this trip. Theng decied not to go in the end, so my younger sis and I was sent to Mid Valley by our dad. *Paiseh a lot dad...*

We had trouble looking for Tower Records upon arrival, since MV is just too ENORMOUS! When we got there, there was already a long queue for the autograph session. From our situation about 15 metres away from the entrance, we couldn't see the happenings in there, but everyone knew the arrival of Daniel when the fans in front (obviously the Pinkies) screamed like hell. aAs the session went on, I got excited every second. I can still remember the view of him less than a metre away! Yikes! SO cute...and handsome! Haha! HE was really fast in the autograph procedure--signing his complicated signature, putting down his pen, shake hands with the fan, then hold his pen again to sign the next booklet (from the album). I had the booklet from the album, while my sis had the MI single signed. It was just a split moment of about 5 seconds, a bit too short, but my wish to see my idol right in front of my eye is fulfilled! Yeah!!!

We had a stroll in MV later after the about half-an-hour autograph session ended. It's so packed with people, that's why my parents never liked to come here, and so it's my sis's first time here. As a second timer, I brought her to Pet's Wonderland as both of us really liked small animals and pets. It was quite boring, as we didn't plan to buy anything. At around 5.30pm, my dad came (again) to fetch us back.

That was it, a nice memory, though I wonder why I'm not as excited as I thought I would be. Hmm...

When will I see you again?

It's been 3 days since we came back from Penang, and I'm starting to miss the trip. I miss the apartment so much! Though it was a bit squeezy, but 9 girls sleeping in a room is also fun, hehee... We went to bed together, except for Kazeendra who kept pulling W Wei up to take photos...akakakaka! Then we wake up to see many people, girls I mean... different feeling as I didn't wake up to see the ceiling, but the girls around. And (I think) Li Ling was always the first one to wake up!

And the girls very kacau la... even Wei and Juen were very naughty. Along with Kazeendra they kept disturbing Jane and I who were sleeping in the bus on the way to Ipoh. I slept later than them, yet they kept making noise.

I remember the night where Shuwen, Li Ling and I were in the balcony. That was the only time I went out there to see the night view. Nothing much to see, just lights, but I liked it. Shuwen and I had trouble taking photos then, her hand, as well as mine, kept shaking causing the photos to be blur. Haha! That girl, she looks so nice and 'si wen' but she's actually so 3 8!

Jane was extraordinarily quiet during the trip. She slept everytime we were on the bus, that's normal, but she didn't fool around like she always did. She could even joke during exam period, but she didn't do that during our trip, sort of scared me. Thank god she return to her "normal" self on the 3rd day, she made fun a bit.

We loved messing around, throwing pillows, kicking and playing with the sea water. I miss the time when we sit in the little 'luggage' room, chatting and laughing away. Now I realise that it was a once-in-a-life-time thingy, I have no idea when I will get a chance with this group of friends again.

My dear friends, when will I see you again?...

Penang tour [Ke Lok Si, Golden Sand, Ipoh]

Day 3 (Dec 10)
Woke up at around 8-9am, and chatted in bed. Heard that the boys came back at 4 or 5am, so they must be sleeping. We decided to visit Ke Lok Si although the boys might not be interested. Finally we got to eat at around 12.30pm, it was lunch time. Had the Asam Laksa which seemed to be famous in Penang. Satisfaction, yummy. Luckily the whole group of us went to Ke Lok Si, and Hell'O the boys bought a lot of stuff! We even met 5S2 students there. Later, the driver took us to a shop where there were a lot of local goodies sold. Half the class bought the Tambun cookies and many other mouth-watering food. Guess that the driver definitely get a good comission for that. After that it was Golden Sand or Batu Ferringhi time. It wasa a wait again, as the 'organisers' were talking to the manager or staff about the price. Finally we got RM11 for Banana Boat and RM50 for the jetski. I took both rides, with the Banana Boat going first. It wasn't a 'success', since only 3 of 7 of us fell into the water, our pakat wasn't right. Haha. Then I took the jetski ride with Chooi Mun, where I was the driver. 1st time there, but I found SPEEDING really fun! HAHAHA! YAHOO! Though sometimes I was sort of scared and panick a little when we bounced high, I really did enjoy the excitement. I'm really sorry for C Mun who didn't have her turn to be the driver, coz we planned to take the driver seat half to half during the 20-minute period. She didn't mind though, and let me drive when I asked her whether to return to the shore to change driver. Thanks a lot to her for the chance.
After that, we had dinner at a food court nearby. We finally got to eat Fried Oyster, and it was really expensive (it was a tourist area). I had 'tie ban mian' which was quite tasty. We reached the hotel at 10 something, took our baths and sat down. Though our eyes were closing, we wanted to stay up till late coz it was our last night together. We ended up chatting in the small room again, with some of us half-sleeping. Even Jane Ley who went to bed got up just to join in our talk. We heard laughter from outside, so we also laughed out loud. This brought those people out there to stick in their heads to ask whether we heard some noise. Haha! It became a funny trick so we played it again. This kept us awake. Heehee... Finally at 3am we decided to 'hui zhou gong'. Kazeendra wanted to play the 'mummy and children' game, so we cooperated with her saying "Good Night" together and Pui Yeng as the mother said "Good Night, Children". Her her, funny game. We slept well till the next morning though I felt hot at one time.


Day 4 (Dec 11)
We checked out at around 9am, the boys as usual a little later. The driver dropped us near Komtar for the famous Cendol and Asam Laksa nearby. Didn't take any of that, instead we went into the market there and found a cheap yet tasty breakfast. The Ghee Hiang shop selling cookies was no where to be seen, so we hung around in Prangin Mall instead. I had a mission to search for Molecule Hair Saloon, it was where Victor used to work. Yes, I was crazy, like my friends said of me, but they went with me anyway. Reaching the bottom floor of the mall, I gave up searching, and went for an ice-cream in McD. Later when we went to the toilet, Jane went loitering nearby and wow, she found it! The 4 of us went to see it, but ooh, there was only one customer there. There was a man with curly long hair standing outside the saloon, I guessed he was the manager. Wei, as she said, took photos of the saloon, there was a flash and we quickly ran away! As if we were paparazzi! Haha! I didn't know she would really do that. It was almost time to gather and we proceeded to the outside of the mall.
The bus took off at around 1pm. I read the paper a bit before having a nap, but by that time Wei and the others were awaken and they disturbed Jane and I. Naughty people. We stopped at Ipoh nad guess what, the driver brought us to a shop to buy stuff again. He really wanted to make money lar. I secretly bought a packet of "sha qi ma". I even SMSed my cousin who was staying in Ipoh, and later got a call from him. *My sis said it sounds really funny that I would contact him.* The rest of the journey, we watched Chiken Little, it was so cute and funny that I couldn't help laughing from time to time.
We arrived back at Shell station shortly before 8pm, and took a farewell photo. And damn it, I left behind my sleeping bag there, Thank goodness Boon Yung saw it and brought it back home. Can't imagine how my mom would react if I really lost it.



That's our trip to Penang. It was such a great time, despite the obstacles that we met. I'm missing my friends including those who didn't join the trip, already. All the best, guys!
May you all be well and happy... Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!

Penang Tour [Gurney, Payar Island, Charity Concert]

Somehow I don't think it's actually a tour at all. It's more like a hang-out in Penang. We could have more activities, but the programmes weren't planned well, we ended up wasting a lot of time. Anyway, it was still a memorable trip.

Day 1 (Dec 8)
Our group of 30 classmates took off from the Shell station near our school at around 7.50am. We stopped shortly at Rawang rest station (whatever you call it) at 8.40am (coz the driver wanted to yam-char. duhh).. All the way on the bus, we watched 'White Chicks' and listened to songs. Everybody was up when we were over the Penang Bridge. I uess almost half the people were taking photos of the bridge and the sea. Kazeendra was photo-ing herself though, she never got bored with her camera. Haha. Unluckily, we discovered that the Driver wasn't familiar with the roads in Penang.I think the driver drove almost to Bayan Lepas but the Vistana Hotel was only about 10 minutes from the bridge. Yes, we were lost.
Before we entered our rooms or apaprtments, we went out for lunch around Bukit Jambul. My friends and I went to the food court in Kompleks Bukit Jambul. The place was quiet, not many people, I wonder if the food was okay. I got the answer when I ordered the asam laksa, which was tasteless, and didn't really fill my stomach. Despite that, the price was expensive. RM 2.50 for a yucky laksa. Damn. Later we hung around the 'theme park' on thesame floor, and had a car racing game with Jane, Wei and Juen.
In the apartment, we arranged our beds and luggage. At around 7pm, the girls were ready to go to Gurney Plaza. However we had to wait for the boys who only got down at 7.30pm. We spent our time for photos then. Our dinner was at a seafood restaurant near GP. Was a late dinner at 9.00pm at RM 20. Loved the fish and 'lala' or shellfish. Our table of friends managed to finish all the food. Haha!
Later, we had bought tickets for the movie 'Perhaps Love'. The movie was scheduled at 11.45pm, and yes, we had to wait for about 2 hours. It was so boring and tiring as there weren't any seats or benches to ease myself on. People were staring at us, wondering what a group of people were doing there squatting or sitting on the floor. The movie was quite good, Thank goodness I didn't fall asleep. After our movie ended, we had to wait almost an hour for those watching Narnia. It was almost 4am by the time we reach our hotel. We only had 2 hours sleep.


Day 2 (Dec 9)
Supposed to wake up at 6am, I woke up a little later as I didn't hear the alarm. Had some bread to ease our stomaches. We had to wait again for the ferry. I had a nap during the 'voyage' to Payar Island, and felt better on arrival on the island. We were provided with googles, 'webs' (whatever) and life jackets. The girls had a hard time adjusting the things and moving around in the water, while the boys were already half way in the middle of the reefs. I was kinda scraed when I see the reefs in the rocks, and knowing that the fish might knock or 'sting' us, I was even terrified. Some of my friends give up going to see the corals, whiel some others, with the help of the boys, went on to enjoy the underwater scene. I decided to go on, trying to put aside my fear. When I saw the first fish in the water, I was so excited! I didn't dare to swim alone to the platform which was at the end of the area, so I asked B Yung to accompany me. All the way, I couldn't see well since I'm short-sighted, but managed to see different corals and sea urchines (thank goodness I didn't step on them!). I had some trouble getting on top of the platform, but I felt so happy when I stood on it. Yeah! I made it! The other girls with me were Pui Yeng and Kazeendra. We were all so excited! Only then did I realise the wound on my legs caused by scratching the rocks and hard corals. Some were bleeding, same with the others. We returned to the shore for lunch, consisting of fried rice, chicken, fish and vege. There were also watermelon, water and Coke provided. After lunch, someone shouted that there were sharks and so we ran to check it out. It was true, there were 3 or more sharks swimming around 10m from the shore. *thank god they weren't there when I was in the water, as my legs were wounded.* They were about 1 metre long. The tour guide fed them some fish, and some people went into the water to catch photos. After the sharks left, i asked the boys down there to explore the sea cucumber around the rocks. Felix ended up being sprayed with some liquid excreted by the sea cucumber. Haha. Later, despite the pain in the wounds, Kazeendra and I along with Shuwen and Woan Wei and some other boys went on our 'mission' again, to reach the platform. the other girls were still scared, but they made it there. Yahoo! It really did feel great to be there. On the way to the shore, we were motioned to get away from an area where there was a jellyfish. So we got onto the floating platforms near the shore, and it was like a 'rescue' team helping us! Haha, so fun and funny! And to end that, we were safe from the jellyfish.
When we were to leave the place, the boat ferrying us the the main platformwas out of oil. another wait again. After getting on the ferry, we faced trouble getting seats as there were people who were sleeping on rows of seats, while some put there things on seats. They don't even let out the seats though they were looking at the group of us.

Back to Penang, we were stuck in a heavy traffic jam, which delayed our arrival back to the hotel, and of course our trip to Penang International Sports Arena for the Starwalk Carnival Charity Concert. I was worried for Daniellover who was waiting for me to give me the tickets. The group of eight ended up only 4 of us going to the concert, took some cup noodles. The taxi fare was RM 15 with only a 10 minutes journey to PISA, thanks to the bus driver who didn't want to send us there. Selfish guy who wants to save up his diesel money. Anyway, we arrived shortly before 8pm, And even managed to get rid of the unoccupied tickets--we sold them. The concert started at 8.10pm. Among the 4, I was the mpst excited one since I was the only MI fan. Now they know the crazy me. Firstly there was a band called 'Steel Guitar' or something performing, which was quite okay at first but I grew tired of it coz they only sing oldies. Then the first MI finalist, Vic Teo gave his performance of a Michael Jackson hit and Jay Chou's 'Fa Ru Xue'. His vocal was really good. There was Chan Kwok Fai [Astro Talent Quest Winner] doing 2 Chinese songs and Marilyana Omar [Bintang RTM 2004 finalist] with a Malay song and a hindi song. Jaclyn Victor took over the stage, and sent the arena to the highest point with 'Superstar' and 'Gemilang'. Her voice was so strong!
In between there were some lucky draw and auction. Then there was this boria group performing, which was so boring and annoying, with seemed to be everlasting...until we got fed up and felt like killing the so-called 'tukang karang'!!! Even Wei wanted to kick him away! GERAM! Anyway, next out was Victor Lee, my fave MI finalist. He presented a Leslie Cheung's Canto song, and a Madarin song by Du De Wei. I loved his voice, it sounds so nice, not boring at all, and so soothing! And he was so 'leng-chai'! Even Wei and Ley couldn't believe our behaviour, especially mine. Heehee... Next was Saiful, with 2 Malay songs followed my Eric Lim who sang an English song and a Chinese song. The last was of course Daniel, whom half of the audience was waiting for. He presented a mixed version of 'Mimpi' and 'Fei', and the song 'You Ji' / Organic Love. As usual, a hive of bees (fans) raced to the front to catch a better glimpse of him. After the concert, I went down to the VIP area to meet the Pinkies, but felt really uncomfortable there as I do not know many of them, and they don't know me. My friends and I went to a coffee shop opposite PISA and had a quite satisfying supper. Later, we decided to walk back to the hotel since it's not too far away. But I was really scared for it's already 12am when we were walking. It was such a big risk! There were some motorists who horned at us and 'greeted' us, I was really terrified! Thinking about it, I really feel thankful and lucky that I was back at the hotel safe and sound. When we got back, the other gal gang was there and we got to know that their taxi driver were also very scary and went a strange way to get to the hotel. Thank goodness they are safe too. All these trouble, thanks to the driver who didn't want to fetch us. A******!!!

Penang, here we come!

YEAH! The day I've been looking forward to for 2 months is finally round the corner!
It's the day for our class trip! To Penang! Wow... so much fun is expected even though I go to Penang every year. Moreover, there will be a charity concert consisting performances by my favourite Idols Daniel and Victor! It will be a really packed 4-day 3-night tour with my buddies.
Besides havng the fun, we all have to take care of ourselves and our safety. Let's have an enjoyable and safe trip!

Angel's tears

Do you realise that the Chinese artists these days have a common 'habit'--cry? Well, it's not that people are not allowed to cry, but why cry in the public?
It's so boring seeing artists cry especially during their concerts. For some of them, maybe it's the first time having concerts, yeah maybe crying for once or twice is okay. But then, crying in every one of their concert?? That's not touching anymore, in fact it is boring to me.I am the type who would rather see people smiling and laughing than draining thier eyes with tears or whatever transparent liquid they can put in their eyes. Why take to trouble? Concert and other achievement are better celebrated with joy and laughter. And it's not only the artists themselves are facing the pressure, don't forget the people who had strived to succeed the task. Everyone has put in their effort, it's the same working other white-collar people and other workers.
Well maybe this is just my opinion currently as I haven't really stepped into the working arena. I do have my crying times because of pressure, disappointment and failure, but I would often do it quietly.

Bravo Michael Bolton

Was at Genting last night for Michael Bolton's concert. Why him? I'm not a fan of his, but I really do enjoy his songs. The 'oldies' were very soothing.

In fact, I did not know more than half of the songs sang last night. Luckily I did manage to sing along during some songs like "To Love Somebody". The first part of the concert was quite ...not boring I should say, just that the songs were more of 'slow' songs, but were very sweet to the ear. I felt so comfortable listening and watching. When Michael went backstage for a break, the misucians took over and showed off their talents. It was so cool, especially the one playing percussion (if I'm not wrong).

Music started again, and Michael appeared from the audience! I wonder how he got there. Many people sitting below (VIP seats) got to shake hands with him. He was such a friendly person as he shook hands from the stage with the people who went to the front. Once he was even almost pulled off the stage by the many hands! By that time, even those sitting above were flowing down to the front of the stage to try their luck.

All through the concert, Michael had only changed once, with both the suits quite simple. That's something I liked about Western artists' concerts.The pay more attention on the music. In between the songs, There were some words delivered, with some humour inserted which won the audience's laughter (though I didn't catch some of the words).

The concert at the Arena of Stars started at 8 something and lasted for about two and a half hours. Overall, it was all so cool, I really did enjoy it!

Darkness fell... now I see daylight again

It's officially over! I mean for the science stream candidates...those who don't take accountancy. we had our last paper which was english for Science and Technology, which we didn't quite study for that. Yes, after the Biology paper on Wednesday, we were almost all quite relaxed, since there wasn't really anything to revise for EST. Butthen, I found the EST paper quite tough, especially paper 1, the points were quite blur to me. anyway, for many of the papers, I didn't do quite well too, I can only hope for the best.

after the last paper, I was to return the SPBT books. However, we had to wait at the end of a long line, since we got to the APD Room much later (our classroom was the furthest away from there). suddenly, we saw Kazeendra and some others running towards the APD room, calling out "5S1 first! 5S1 first!" Oh! How thrilled we were! So we joined the line and ran with them. Might be a bit ridiculous, and the other class students might be a bit jealous, but who cares?1 it's the last day at school, we were overjoyed! HAHA!!!
Later Juen and I went to join our friends Theng, Wei and Jane in Kang Cheng. Had such a great time, watching TV while waiting for the food. had my first chance of using a tea set, quite fun! After lunch, we just sat in front of the TV again watching a drama, then talking and chatting for about an hour. It was so cool, because we haven't had anytime to do that for a few months already.
The feeling of freedom...

Reaching home at around 3pm, I took a nap for about 2 hours. Another cool thing. In the evening, I start with my diet programme... not really, just that I haven't exercised for around 2 months already. so off I went with a little jog with my family. and as expected, my lung capacity had reduced! Haha! One thing I don't like about having no exam is... have to do lots of housework. during exam, I had my sister taking over most of my part of work, now that it is over, it seems I have to work even more. Shoot.

After exam, it's time to plan ...my future (?!). But before that, gonna have more fun with my friends. My class is going on a graduation tour (whatever you call it). Though I have been to Penang almost every year, this will be a different feeling as I'm going with friends instead of family. we will go really crazy... hopefully a few friends and I really get to watch a concert there. Daniel, Victor and a few other finalists will be performing. Hope our plan turns out good.

For these few days, I guess I'll be sitting at home, surfing the Net, and doing housework. Just don't know yet whether it will be fun... Looking forward to the tour!
Penang, here I come!!!

Raya Memory

Raya this year ain't relaxing for me. Well at least I got to attend at 1 open-house. Then, it's still all about studies. Boo...

Raya wasn't really a big festival for me when I was young , until I went to Beijing. Since almost the whole embassy were Malays, the celebration was big. The tradition there wa, I mean what I experienced, the morning of the Raya would be a gathering at the ambassador's hou8se, a.k.a. 'The Resident'. Actually I have forgotten some of the activities, but I remember the brunch which was prepared by, hmm.. I forgot, and I think also by the diplomats' wives, including my mom. Whew, the food was such a variety, and lots of them! Haha!! I loved the Raya there, as well as the Chinese New Year! Coz it's cold! It's really fun to have delicacies in the cold weather! heehee!! And especially when it snows... Hmm... and the duit Raya, in RMB...not too much though, quite satisfied. :)

There was once around year 1997 or 1998 (forgot again), not during Raya, but an activity for Raya. It was around the second half of the year, when the children of the diplomats and staff of the embassy was to do a performance for Raya. It was a Raya song, which of course, I never heard of before. I still remember the song, but I don't know the name of it, it goes like "tiba syawal kita rayakan, dengan rasa gembira.. anak muda di rantauan, semuanya pulang ke desa..." We practiced singing for a few weeks, a few days in a week. I managed to catch the rhythm and remember the lyrics in some time. Didn't really enjoy it, since we have to sing it over and over again. And my sisters and I were the only chinese there, seemed weird. What I really do enjoyed was the afternoon tea break! haha!Food, food, food! I really love many of the Malay desserts, especially "Cucuk Kodok"! YUMMIE!!!

well actually, the purpose of the performance was... to be aired on TV. I was so scared in the beginning since I was a stage-fright, and then I would be a 'camera-fright'! In fact, on the day of the performance, the crew of TV3 was there in the Resident to film it. Everyone was busy that evening, The kids geting ready for the performance with some of the women's help, many of the women were busy getting ready for the food, which was for the party held along with the performance, an 'early Raya', it seemed. The filming of the performance went on well, and there was also interviews of the higher officers including the ambassador, Dato' Majid, and also the atmosphere of "Hari Raya" in Beijing. Such fun, there were a lot of food, and the satay was specially made for this occasion, and whole lots of them! (The embassy staff took a whole day to get the sticks of satay prepared.)

Whether the film got on TV or not, I don't no. I told my relatives to watch out for it, but somehow I got no news of it from them. *Geesh, my first time on TV, I never knew of it...* But for sure, It was a great experience for me, a memorable one.

Wish all my malay and non-Malay friends, 'SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!'

Fanatic frenzy

For those who know me, I'm actually really into the Malaysian Idol, especially currently Daniel. Then before that but still going on is Ken, along with some others like Westlife and Backstreet Boys. True, I really like to listen to my favourite artists' songs, sing along, watch their video clips, try to catch their gigs (though it's 1% that I really do catch them).

Compared to my friends at school, I feel that I'm really a fanatic person. I would be talking away about my idols, and sometimes knowing more about the entertainment news more than my friends do. Maybe it's the fact that We are having SPM this year, and many of them talk about books and studies more than entertainment stuff.

But you know what, there are actually MORE fanatic people out there. I don't quite get online these days, but when I do, I often visit Daniel's forums. Surely, there are so many fans of his there, they are actually larger fans. Some, or many of them, would be there at almost every place which Daniel would appear publicly, until Daniel could actually remember them. ANd of course, they are very up-to-date about every news and TV appearance and radio shows etc. of Daniel, and would post all of them in the forum. Ohh, the very crazy thing (and somewhat wu liao) thing they would do is, countdown. Huh?? Well let's say there was a segment about Daniel on 8TV E-news last Friday. But before 6.00pm, many forumers were online in the forum, and they were counting down for the TV programme. They were like '30 minutes before the show', '15 minutes left', '10 minutes from now'... ... WOW! What the hell? So free of them! Nothing to do at the end of the year, and start counting down... sweat...

Thinking back, maybe I would also be the kind to chase Daniel around... I want to, but I've got restriction from my parents. Anyway, That needs a lot of time and energy, most important - money, which, I don't think I have much to spare. But the 'countdown', no...

p/s: Sorry if I insulted anyone.

Again!!!

OMG! Bad luck on me, is it?
This morning I discovered the wire of my braces was broken again. Damn it, got the whole long process of going to the clinic again. Obviously I hate doing that. And It took me more thasn one and a half hours to get home and settle down.
What's even worse was that the dentist wasn't there! She went for holiday to Taiwan! Wow! A big problem when some patient is in trouble! The unlucky one was me. The nurses on duty hesitated whether to give me the treatment (changing the wire that is), since this was actually the dentist's job. They finally did, and I was so nervous, afraid that something might go wrong. The finally finished the job, after quite a long time. Hopefully nothing will go wrong in this period of 2 months!

ELS Farewell Party

Saturday, Oct 22 2005

Didn't turn out as fun as I thought. Maybe I got down from the wrong side of the bed, I was blur and blur since the morning. I couldn't quite get into the situation (whatever...dunno how to describe), or rather, I lost myself... not that serious though.

I arrived at the destination quite punctually, finding Sujintana (ELS President 2003) there. I sort of got mixed up of her and Jann in the beginning. Thank god I 'woke up', if not 'yu sai'. Later I got quite 'yu' also for a few times, wonder if anyone noticed.Geesh...

The schedule went on like this : The introduction session (of the members), the speeches (very short), then answering Chen Leong's complicated question (the seniors did that job), the games (a little bit blur), then more games (coz the food had not arrived yet), The eating time (yeah! Pizza!), then some of them started spraying the 'stringy' stuff around, then giving away the Best Member Award (one of them went to my sis!), then end. Started (was supposed to) at 9.00am, ended at around 1.00pm.

Overall, it was fun, really fun. Really thankful to all the ELS members who prepared for it. It left me a pleasant memory of them, and hopefully ELS will keep shining, and shine more.

The Goodbyes...

It was full of laughter and tears today, but overall it was a sad day. The special day was our Graduation Day, our ‘supposedly’ last day in school, except for the SPM days.

A lot happened, with the day starting with almost everyone cheerful. We took some photos (too bad I didn’t have a camera). We were then seated in the activity centre where the ‘celebration’ would be taking place. Such a long wait. The ceremony started, with the national song and school, then the ‘boring’ speeches. Then it was the prize giving time for the best subjects students. And HELL we cheered so loudly for our class students! Even the other classes started to cheat (duhh??). I guess this was the craziest ceremony the PIBGs and principal has ever seen in school. The situation got so high when it was prize giving for the co-curriculum students. We cheered, we shouted, we screamed, and some of the boys even stood up on their chairs! That was especially for our favourite Class Monitor! Then, Kassendra even cheered for KS’s sisters and my sister in Form 6! She was so crazy and high!

There was the band performance, then the singing time. Graduation song, which we had been ‘trained’ for a few days. Not much emotions yet, until the time when we were to leave the place (the school actually). The music started to wet my eyes. I got even more emotional when I saw Kassendra cry, like many others, start crying. Couldn’t hold back the tears, really. Even Pn Zurina was in tears when she bid us goodbye. The girls hugged her. I saw that the Pn Chin was also very dull, sad. Pn Ng, didn’t cry. Not thst I saw. Despite the flying tears, we took photos anyway, who cares. I became okay gradually. Kassendra was still sobbing. More photos. And more. We were deaf to the PK’s order to leave the school immediately.

I hugged my girl friends, all of them. It feels good to hug, though it was a goodbye hug. It seemed a promise to stay in touch. A promise of friendship. Suddenly, I got into tears again when I was bidding goodbye to a friend. This time I was really sobbing. Only the girls cried, so funny. Jane who was not crying in the beginning, only started to feel sour in the end, funny girl.

The class was to go to McDonald’s in Jalan Pahang for a gathering. I couldn’t join them, as my mom doesn’t allow. I can only hope to be present at a gathering after exam, if there’s ever one. I called someone there just now, seemed like they are having a good time. Felix’s voice could be heard, haha!

May our classmates’ friendship last as long as it may. All the best to all of them!

A memorable day...

Actually, today is an anniversary for me... and my family. Haha... it's our five year anniversary for coming back to Malaysia from Beijing, China! Thinking about that, I miss Beijing so much... *sob sob*

School day today, hate to wake up early on Saturday morning. But I decided to go to school todday, and actually the attendance of our class is almost 100%. Haha! But then, our mian purpose (for many of us) is for the PJK periods (physical education...= sports). As a bonus, we had 2 periods extra! Muahahaha!!! So syok!

Of course we played basketball. It was so cool we get to use the whole court this time. We (girls) are not really as good in playing, but we enjoyed ourselves. It was what you would expect from a girls' basketball game, with screams and fighting for the ball. The screams... thanks to Kassendra...that was how she acted as the defence...haha. She was always good in scoring, and has big energy to throw the ball. Elvera and Norain also joined us, though they were fasting, but they played for a while only. Elvera was just as cool, shooting the ball using only one hand, and with a really good pose! And Charmainne... dunno what happened to her, always so energetic and tried to grab the ball in every way she could... gosh I got hit by her many times already...haha! Jane was as cute as ever, funny poses and behaviour, and often managed to get hold of the ball. When I changed team, she would often come to attack me...hehee! My performance wasn't good...my skills are getting worse. But I did enjoy myself, I loved running with the ball. It feels so cool, along with catching and passing the ball. Too bad Lee Eng became tired later, our coordination wasn't quite good then.

During the 5th period, we didn't really entered class, 'coz we were busy taking photos! Yeah, we took photos with our English teacher, Pn Karithiyan. Later we even got Pn Soong (S . A. of Students' Affair) And then the Principal Mr Chu to take a snap with us. It seemed as if the whole activity centre is filled with our voices. Guess it was okay, since more than 2/3 of the school was absent. heehee...


Such a happy and exciting day, but I wonder when it will come again. We are going to graduate Form 5 soon, when will we have the chance to meet up again? Especially in school, where we have our past memories... Those who are not taking Form 6 next year, are most probably leaving us, leaving me. I still hope and hope to have the chance to gather with my 5S1 friends.

Class nightmare

It seems a peaceful day, until...

A normal day for most of us was yesterday, maybe, that's before the chemistry periods. We were sharing the DK1 with another class, while our classrooms were under repair. During our chem periods, the next class was having Bio, which the teacher N was as usual teaching loudly. Somehow our chem teacher's voice was covered by that teacher's, so she decided to write on the board instead. It was then trouble comes. KS started to shout loudly, as if trying to go against N. Our teacher asked him to stop, but he wouldn't, and this went on for a few minutes. Even our 'ordering' wouldn't stop. He was like crazy.

Surely N couldn't resist it. She came over, and bpoth our teacher and also our class's nightmre started. N scolded KS, and us, for being 'kurang ajar'. KS didn't apologise for his misbehaviour. Later, our teacher had to go over next class to ...maybe apologise. When she came back, she sat down, and tears started flowing. My god, I was so sorry for her. I mean, she was really really upset for KS's behaviour, and she herself couldn't control it. It seems KS, and maybe also our class had created a BIG BIG trouble for her. Even I myself can't help being guilty.

Then, today comes the real trouble to our class. We are in danger of not getting good remarks for our graduation certificate. I don't mind about not getting 'Best class' or whatever for our class, but the certificate is what really matters. It is an inportant element for us in our future career, for colleges, for universities, and for 'cari makan'. Our class teacher received the complains from N and another teacher W today. And guess what, W was the person to fill the place for our 'kelakuan'. Bad news is she's been having conflicts with our class.

Of course, I too am not satisfied with some of the teachers, everyone has the same feelings, just as the teachers themselves would, with their students. But most of us just keep it quiet. I dunno where and why W have conflicts with us, until a few months back when someone in our class 'ejek' her, as she said. She is actually the type of teacher who is quite 'ba', likes to stick her nose into other people's business, my friends said. She has the least optimistic mind I guess, Always looking at the bad side. Thta might be why she really 'bu shuang' our class. Now she's the person to 'decide' our behaviour, we are DONE.

Happy lah now, someone lost his mind, set the whole class into trouble, and doesn't even bother to apologise. Like a nightmare which comes just a little while but eaves bad memories in our lives. Like the Tsunami comes without prior notice and sweep away everything and leave behind nothing but trouble. That's why, we have to keep our good behaviour, don't cause trouble, just because you are happy with it. tThink of what the circumstances will be, think of the people around you, whether they will be hurt. What happened yesterday has made a large 'blackhole' in our class, and our image. We will never be able to return it to normal. We can only fill it up with something else, but the wound will still be there, forever...

I'm so upset...

Celebrity Chat

Wednesday, quite a happy day!

Why? 'Coz Daniel was on Celebrity Chat on 8TV at 1.30pm! See? That's why I changed my appointment...
It was so fun to listen to Daniel singing Chinese songs, since the lovely 'Forever Love' he sang along with playing his guitar on Idol Diary. And his English improved a lot. He speaks Malay even faster, like a ...train. Somehow the host Ruzy isn't quite updated about Daniel, but it seems he was okay with it. And wasn't he 'blur like sotong'?! Well I forgot what... but he doesn't really remember what he did, even it was the day before! Maybe that's one of the 'cute' side of him. hahaha...
Some of the songs he sang was Heaven Knows, Forever Love, 'Lao Shu Ai Da Mi', and a bit of 'Yi Zhi Ha Ma'. The topics were almost the same, I can't remember much, but overall, a good show.


(Wed, Oct 12 2005)

oh my goodness!

Tuesday... Oct 11.

Time for my orthodontic treatment appointment again. I had this appointment changed to a date a bit earlier, because I wanted to watch Daniel on TV on Wednesday. Haha.

It was the usual waiting and waiting for my turn. But something scared the hell out of me. The dentist told me that the wire was broken! WOW! That was really dangerous. And because of that, which happened since maybe a month ago, caused my tooth to be 'senget'! Damn! No wonder around a few weeks back while I was studying, I felt something wrong with the wires, My sis even remembered me exclaiming 'it's broken!'. I thought it was just my imagination, but I didn't realise it broken. Man... I must be damn careful now. Hopeful it won't cause much trouble.

3 8 Club??!!

An earlier post reminds me of something... hmm... our '3 8 Club' gets serious now! Har??

3 8 Club should be 3 8 ma... always talk, talk and gossip, laughing, and bla bla bla all day. but now, the Spm is coming, seems only the president is 'active', still organising 'activities'. The vice president is...studying? maybe lah, but she's playing as well, and of course, still 'Danieling' around. I dunno about the secretary, haven't heard from her, haven't seen her online lately. About the other people, hehe...dunno, still no other posts yet, only got president, vice p., and secretary. Anyone wants to sign up please contact me. Muahahaha!

Btw, we'd better have a meeting after SPM lar... annual general meeting still hvnt had yet, then gotta arrange some activities, watch movie, yam char, cheong 'k', many many things...

Remember okay, miss President, Kassandra (soli if I spelt wrongly...heehee). The vice president ...me... will become crazy after SPM, better watch out! Hahaha!
By the way, better get a new name for the club, the current name is 'too sampat'!!

A tribute to...

Sounds funny suddenly starting a topic like that... but this is serious...(?)

Our Graduation day is just round the corner. It's been a really busy year for me, and even more busy months recently, though it's true I find time to follow Malaysian Idol and get online... all work and no play makes me a dull girl... haha! It's also just recently I realized that I might be parting with some of my friends for a long time, or forever. Feeling like crying now...

It's been very cool experience throughout my life in high school. I have no regrets choosing Chong Hwa to further my studies even though I have trouble catching up with Malay and Chinese language after coming back from China. I had no friends then, since the friends I made before going to China either couldn't remember me or that they are more engaged to their current friends. I was so quiet that maybe some people even thought I didn't have a mouth! Haha...

In that case, I had to find the way out by myself. Everything I did was by myself. I went to see the teachers when I didn't understand something or when I needed help... and damn bad was my Malay language then...and it still is... But my courage was boosted . I tried myself in many activities, and being a stage-fright, I actually went on stage to answer a question in a quiz! I'm actually quite shocked too looking back those times.

I'd really like to thank my new-made friends who has helped me physically and mentally. Let's start with Hui Ying. She was the top student in my class, very smart, very cute, with high aims. I am really glad she acquainted me even though my studies wasn't good. Now she's studying in Singapore, hopefully she achieve good results and have a good future.

Then comes Zhen Shi. She changed my life. A lot. I was such a bookworm (as my friends said) till Form 3. Zhen Shi was my neighbouring friend. She was really different from Hui Ying _more talkative. And she changed me (or rather brought out another me) into a more 'talkative' person. Hahaha! This twist in my life let me make more friends than before.

Life in Form 4 was...quite exciting. Met some friends Yoke Theng, Ley Juen, the cute little Jane Ley, and especially Jiun Wei, who were so fanatic to 5566 (Taiwanese group). The fact is, I don't really like the Taiwanese group at all, but then, for the sake of them, I 'ying4 chou2' a bit, it didn't turn out bad after all. I didn't really befriended the other half of the class, a thing I regret. But anyway, I was quite busy the whole year round, have to deal with Tennis Club which was quite okay, but the members of it bring me headaches. Miraculously, I survived, even 2 years of taking the post of president, whew. Somehow, English Language Society was better, though I sometimes needed help from Anna, the president, and thank you so much to her. The members of ELS were quite and more responsible, helpful, fun, cute (Joel..haha) and friendly.

This year has been a really memorable and exciting one. Our class was more united and we won some prizes in a few competitions. We found out that some people in class has actually talents in some fields, e.g. Boon Yung, our great class monitor who was very responsible, was a newbie but strong debater. Hope that his ambition to be a lawyer come true. Some friendships were made...many actually... which turn me into a '38' and crazy gurl! None other than Huoy Ying! Hello there! My oh my, I really am thankful to you for being my friend, caring for me, and treasuring our friendship. You are a unique friend. Other same type friends are Shu Wen, Woan Wei and my honey Lee Eng. Lee Eng, the 'superwoman', the "Along" or "loan shark" of the class, my greatest friend of the year, I'll never forget her! A quiet and 'guai1 guai' girl, Li Ling, the future doctor, another nice friend of mine.

I too wanna thank my other friends who accompanied me through the high school life... thank you so much. Thanks for all the help and all you gave!

Not to be left out, the teachers who have given me a lot of help in curriculum and co-curriculum. Big thanks to them.

All the best to you guys in achieving a good future!

GAMBATAE!!!

Wow... seems like many people (friends) are having the same feeling. Stress. Anxiety. Tiredness. Fed up. FEAR OF BOOKS! BOOK-PHOBIA. SPM-PHOBIA!!!

That's what my friend told me. She has the same trouble as me. We all have the same trouble. But what can we do? We cannot change the situation (having to sit for exam), we can only try our best, study hard. The two months left is all about books. Less play, less relax. Boring. Tired.

Other than that, there's the sad graduation day. It's once in a lifetime thingy, but I might be crying then... because some of my friends will...maybe. I only hope to get a camera to take photos on that day, for memory. Many of my friends are gonna be leaving me. :(

Well, refresh your mind by thinking about our class graduation tour after SPM! YEAH! I'm really looking forward to that. I have always liked going out with my friends, and this is gonna be an exciting one. And hopefully, still planning, a Karaoke trip with my crazy friends, haha...

ALL THE BEST TO YOU GUYS TAKING EXAMS, AND MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP LAST AS LONG AS IT MAY!!!

Daniel's Theme Song

MIMPI
Inginku lukiskan nota-nota
Laguku mengikut rentak gitar
Dengarkan suara mimpiku bertemakan
Namamu senantiasa selalu selalu
Sedalam tinggi, seluas jauh
Begitulah cita-citaku
Sekiranya kau ingin tahu
Selama ini, hingga ke akhirnya
Suka duka senyum selalu
Kita bersama punya satu
Mimpi
Dengarkan suara mimpiku bertemakan
Namamu senantiasa selalu selalu
Sedalam tinggi seluas jauh
Begitulah cita-citaku
Sekiranya kau ingin tahu
Selama ini, hingga ke akhirnya
Suka duka senyum selalu
Kita bersama punya satu
Mimpi,Mimpi
Begitulah cita-citaku
Mimpi,Mimpi Mimpi aku realiti.....
Sedalam tinggi seluas jauh Mimpi

Blank

Saturday, yesterday...

It started with a quite well morning, not too warm, only the classroom was not even half-filled. Then for the first 2 periods we were 'forced' to join another class when the teacher was supposed to be in ours. and there we go, being free labour... to help mark the papers. Sucks.

The day went on without any class conducted, 12 students in class and of course the teachers wouldn't teach. (Kinda regret for coming to school when I could have slept soundly at home.) half the class was studying while another half chatting.

I started with my add maths when I went blank. Blank, that is, I couldn't think at all. Is it because of the 'noise' of my neighbouring friend who was so confused with her exercises herself that irritated me, or was it that I had problems with my add maths? Oh my god, okay, I tried to calm myself down, calm down, calm down... Just look around, relax a bit, don't get too stressed...

Why did it suddenlyget too warm? and stuffy... I couldn't satnd it, I moved to another place to continue with my exercises. But still, my mind was blank. I thought of lying down for a while to get a little nap. But I couldn't. I was all filled up with numbers! Oh gosh... I'm so stressed... am I getting crazy? I couldn't talk, couldn't sleep, couldn't rest, couldn't breathe properly, couldn't think... I was drowning... someone, please help me...

I really don't know why, but I only felt like crying. I wanted to cry out, cry out loud, shout, scream, scrreeaammm...... but I couldn't, because I was in school. I had to control myself. I had to keep everything to myself. Nobody knew anything about it. My best friend wasn't at school, I couldn't talk to anybody. Nobody would understand what I was experiencing. and some people keep bothering me. I was getting fire on my head. Stop bothering me! Leave me alone! stay away from me and leave me alone for this time!

I really don't know what happened to me. all the while I told myself not to put so much pressure on myself. But... I was all blank. BLANK. I really didn't know what to do. what was I to do? Eat? drink? Or study more? Or maybe knock my head against the wall? This is all I can say, blank. Do you understand? Do you...

Luckily I arrived safely at home. I was still really down. Luckily my dad was there. I told him I was blank all over... couldn't fight back the tears... I let it out.. almost all out...


I need my confidence back. My dad planted it back on me. I went to the Ti-ratana center for a blessing session for spm candidates. I was glad I was there. I needed to support and confidence religiously. Hopefully I will get through this hard time smoothly.
sadhu! sadhu! sadhu!

And your idol is... ... DANIEL!!!

It promised to be a grand affair. There were the top 12 of Malaysian Idol 1 on stage along with the top 9 of Season 2. The night started with a bang with the MI1 Idols jamming to 'Ku Bawa Sinar'and 'Gemilang'.

For 'Gemilang', Jac was the star, as was evident from the applause. Then Trish took the stage with a solid performance of 'Shackles', which immediately shook the crowd to its core. Ejay then rocked the house further with her theatre elimination song, 'Since You Been Gone'. Blue-head Xerra dropped the temperature with a heart-warming rendition of 'Brown Eyes'before Atilia took over the screaming six-thousand strong crowd with 'Natural Woman.'Towards the end of her powerful rendition, Trish, Xerra and Ejay joined her.

The boys were not to be outdone. Model-lookalike, Azam, and underdog, Adam dueted on 'Mentera Semerah Padi'. They were a match on stage, exhibiting showmanship skills that looked like it took years to sharpen instead of the three days the Idols really had to practise. Top 5 hottie, Ash emerged on stage after with a soulful and power-packed 'With Or Without You'that showed critics and fans alike why he epitomise 'Rock Orang Bandar'. Then Orang Kampung, Faizull thrilled with 'Peronda Jaket Biru'. It droved the audience wild - if that was still possible. Last of the eliminated Idol, beautiful Farah took over with Áin't No Mountain High Enough'. The whistling and cheering she received when she got on stage brought out the best in the KL lass. Finally the top 9 returned to the stage to sing with her. The MI1 finalists followed suit. That brought the crowd to ecstasy and the applause was just rousing. To prove their place in the final once again, Daniel and Nita came on stage to duet on 'Menanti Jawapan'and 'Higher Deeper'.

After the musical fiesta, Jien and Cheryl took over to announce the winner. It was a nerve-wrecking moment as no one, not even the judges, could predict who will win.Finally, the announcement came. It was Daniel with the highest votes. He had 1.2 million votes against Nita's 500 000 plus, or 68% of the total votes. So Daniel is the next Malaysian Idol. Congratulations!! #

Idol Party!

OOHHHOOOOOOHHH!!!!!!

What an exciting night! I was up in Genting watching the Malaysian Idol 2 Finale Show last night, and wasn't the crowd crazy?!

There were almost an equal amount of fans for both Daniel and Nita. The majority D fans were on the left, while many of Nita's sat on the right. I got a rather unstrategic seat, on he right, where the fans were more of shouting for Nita. Anyway, I didn't care, I screamed for Daniel like I've never screamed before! And not only for Daniel, but for Victor too! Yeah! He was there, along with the previous Finalists! And he was so MAN, so HANDSOME with the COOL hair-do!!!

So the show was good all the way, with the ngs and everything except for the sound effect. I thought the first few songs wasn't good enough (the one with the finalists singing and Daniel's first song "Mimpi"), because the microphone wasn't tuned loud enough. I could hear the loud music but the voice was often unheard. But he did sing his very best. His choice song 'Heaven Knows' was so soothing, like Paul said, "Killing the girls!" The last song was just as good, his vocals improved. Overall, I loved it.

As for Nita, she was powerful. Her voice drained the whole arena, it sounded great. Though I till don't like the way she 'screwed' her face when pitching (it wasn't a natural expression at all), she had somehow cut down on it, gained more confidence with her performance and delivered them nicely. It was a good job.

One special thing about watching itlive was the 'comercial breaks' we watched. Well, we didn't have any, but Rina and Phat Phabes came on stage every time to 'keep the audience fluffed up'. They were the 'fluffers' who took the job to 'fluff' the audience and make sure that we feel 'fluffy' and keep 'fluffing'! Hahaha! Funny language, huh? Taht's what they said, the two cheekies.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to approache Victor closer. I was like 20 meters away from the main alley, where the VIPs walked. Victor was there waving to our side, and of course I was waving like a mad person. When the show ended, the audience went out through the side gate, while the VIPS used the same main gate. When I went out, I saw Victor (so tall) walking in front on the Red Carpet. I wasn't able to catch up to him to call out his name, too bad. I could only see him walk away... so sad...

It will be an even more exciting night tonight, when the 2nd malaysian Idol will be born. I guess I won't be able to go watch live at arena gain, because my dad might be too tired for the journey. Anyway, I wish all the best for Daniel, my 'idol' since the beginning of the season, and whether he wins or not, he will definitely become a successful artist, as a singer, and maybe a composer too! And I'll definitely get his album!
GO GO JIA YOU!!!

Tragedy

as long as you are in Malaysia, I'm sure many of you know of this. A teacher succumbed to serious head injuries and a punctured lung after he fell through the school's rotting wooden floorboard to the floor below. This news has shocked the whole country.

According to the newspaper, the teacher, Chan Boon Heng was doing some office work in the staff room of SRJK(C) Keat Hwa (K) when the floorboard gave way. The bars which were supporting the floorboard caused his ribs to be broken and one of the broken ribs punctured his lung. the first floor below was actually the hall. Since then, the part of the building including the 1st and 2nd floor has been restricted.

This is actually one of the reality of the Chinese national school. When I was in Primary school before going to China, I was studying in SRJK(C) Lee Rubber, which was then in a very old school building. It was only after I went to china that the school shifted into a new building.

I have a cousin who used to study in SRJK(C) Keat Hwa (S). The school building was also very limited, with 2 schools (Primary and Secondary) sharing the same building. Just imagine the status of the schools of keat Hwa. More and more students are entering Chinese schools, yet the buildings are still old and space-limited. Many of the buildings are being destroyed by termites and are getting dangerous day by day.

My classroom has the similar case. The ceiling in the front of the classroom has unattached from the original place. we are having trial exam now, and almost the whole classroom is occupied. my friend Theng and I have seats in the front. Lately there has been 'black stuff' falling from the ceiling which was 'hanging' there. we are getting a little nervous now, really hoping that the board won't drop anytime we are there!

Compared to other schools, our school isn't really good at all. The front building is quite okay, but the 'kampung' classrooms at the back are in worse conditions. Other than the ceiling, the is also a problem when heavy rain falls - those sitting by the windows will definitely get wet! actually our school had been planning a new building in the field at the front of the school (the 'Malam Budaya" fund was for this) but then plan had to be cancelled since the Government wanted to widen the road of Jalan Gombak in front of our school.

It is a fact that Chinese and Tamil schools are partially subsidised schools of the government. But then, that shouldn't be the reason for not supplying these schools with better amneties especially school buildings to take place of the old and 'rotting' ones. After all the lives of people are concerned, ain't it?

well, it is a very tragic loss of the teacher.My parents know him because he is actually the brother of my uncle's wife (jiu4 mu3 de di4 di). My deepest condolences to the family of Mr Chan. may they get over from the griefing soon, and may he rest in peace.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

Daniel!!!

Yeah! Yeah!

Hmm... can't help to go online today, because I really 'need' to blog!

Well, I went to Carrefour Wangsa Maju today with my family, for a reason other than shopping (really no mood to shop though). The Malaysian Idol 2 Finalists were there for a showcase.

We went there an hour later than the time scheduled (which was 8pm), so we missed the performance part. When we (sisters) arrived there the finalists were signing autographs on the CD and cassettes. I didn't purchase any album (no money lah...), but stood... and jumped up and down in front of the stage. Thank goodness the spot that we chose to stand was almost right in front of Daniel! Wow... how excited we were when we spotted him, and of course, that was the start of the 'jumping session' but usually I stood on my tips so as to see the important people in front. Later, the crowd in front started to grow small, we were getting nearer to the stage. Photo taking becomes easier. And I could see Daniel more easily.

It was so cool... the fans to get their autographs started to lessen, so the finalists had some 'little breaks' in between. When Daniel was free, he looked around and smiled at the many cameras shooting him. He waved too, and was really friendly. I started to wave to him, to see if he responses. Well he did! So CUTE! (Or maybe he wasn't just smiling and waving to me but to everybody, but assume that he did! HAHA!) Of course, my sisters and I kept on taking photos, and also of the other finalists (Atilia wasn't around, but Saiful was there to promote him album). Heehee... assume again... that Daniel looked quite often in my way, because I kept waving to him...like siao... Actually my spot was quite strategic, where Daniel and Nita would focus when they look up. Imagine how happy I was... smiling...

When the autograph session finally ended, The finalists swent up on stage and gave a final goodbye wave to everyone. Only then did I see Ash, so cool he was. Trish was cute, and Ejay looked slimmer than she was on TV. She was holding a cam of hers, shooting the crowd. More than half the crowd was screaming for Daniel. When they were getting off the stage, I shouted Ash's name, and heehee... he waved back to us! =P They left the place through the elevator going up the 3rd floor (should have asked my dad to park his car upstairs!).

We were sweating like anything after that, but were still energetic enough to catch hold of some posters of MI2 finalists. It was a really exciting night, though a little disappiontment that we didn't catch their performances. Though I still hope to meet them especially Daniel again, it seems quite impossible for these few months.

All busy, all worry

HAIZZZ...

What the hell am I doing here, with all the revision yet to be done?
Haha... it's Computer period now, but nobody has a book, so the teacher let us all surf the internet! HaPpY!!!

Nothing to write now... going online seems as boring these days. Well, there's the Prom I have to think about, whether to join or not. My head is getting bigger... ahhhh!!!

Anyway, got to worry about the trial now. Not able to online for some time. 3 months to go. :(

Idols... ooh

Wow... I've been in this 'business' for a few years, and getting 'better' day by day... ahem... and that's checking out cute guys! Hahaha!

Well it's the nature of girls to look at cute and handsome guys, just like boys do towards pretty girls. Well, my taste is often the same type... I won't tell you... not really rare and can be found out there, that is, if you 'look' closely!

The crazy thing is, the guys whom I like to check out on are celebrities. That's why I'd be so damn crazy over some particular programmes, e.g. Malaysian Idol, movies of my fave stars, blablabla... If you know me well, you'll be hearing me talking away about some guys, how funny they are, describing some scenes... hahaha!

Recently I get really 'busy'. Besides my preparation for SPM, one thing that takes up my time is ... this business...again! Well for your information, Jeff Timmons is in Malaysia to promote his album, and today he was the guest judge on Malaysian Idol! WOW! Two guys to 'kap' -- Jeff and Daniel! Heehee... I've been waiting for this day since Wednesday when I got to know about it.
Another guy to catch my attention Orlando Bloom! Though his movie will only be due in October, I'm already surfing the movie's official website! But damn it... I have some problem accesssing to it...

Hush.. there is still another person who will always appear on my computer screen... Ken Chu! He is definitely my all-time favourite!

I know, I know... I'm really crazy...3-8... but it's OK with me, as long as I'm happy, hope you are not bothered by this too!

Time flies...

I was 'half-watching' (not supposed to watch) "Holland Village" on 8TV today, when it was the scene of the family celebrating the Chinese New Year's Eve . Nothing that touching, but it just felt good that the whole family was together. It was such a happy atmosphere (that's why CNY is my favourite festival!).

Recalling the CNY this year, it seems like it was just a month ago. The excitement of the programmes can still be felt, the happy atmosphere of the BBQ party we had then seems to stay in the air. Time passes fast. Before I realize it I'm half a year over, SPM is just round the corner. Sweat... It seems half the year's time wasn't even spent usefully. I can't seem to remember what I've done during this period. OMG... wonder if it's too late...

While watching the show, another thing came into mind -- my class. Over the year, our class seems to have 'created' a special relationship among the students. Compared to last year, many and more birthday songs were sung in the class relationship and 'feelings' towards the teachers had strengthen ('positively' AND 'negatively'). Many things had happened intra-and inter-class. Many problems were faced (especially dealing with EXAM!). Many tips are exchanged (!). Some classmates had changed and their true personality revealed. Some 'special bond' among 'some' classmates were formed (results not out yet...); some 'hatred' some 'love'! Some... no... MANY competitions were won by the class (Hurray!). Some being credited by teachers. And... ...

Looks like a lot had happened in the past 8 months. But it all happened really fast. Gosh, time flies faster year by year! And soon, it's graduation time. Parting time. The class will be separated to different places. What if we never meet anymore? Will this party of 5S1 be history? Wow... I feel strangely sad thinking of it. It's always weird to part with my friends, like I did when leaving China. Emotions arise, though the parting cannot be avoided. That's life. I only hope that for the time being we all appreciate everyone around us, appreciate everything we own.

Hopefully, for this once-in-a-lifetime class and bond among us, we'll be able to maintain it, maybe not forever, but at least for as long as it can be.


P/S: When the hell will our class t-shirt be published?

A sweet memory

Not for me...
But for a classmate n friend of mine.

It's woan Wei's birthday today, and her best friends had a party just for her. I wasn't there (sorry guys), but I know that it was a very touching atmosphere there. My friend Ying had been planning it a week before.

The birhtday girl was invited to lunch with 3 friends. But suddenly 22 more people came into the restaurant! Wow!!! So touching! But heard that the fod wasn't good...


Anyway, please update me, friends who went!!!

Finally I met him...

I might seem calm right now...
But I'm not...

I'm not calm...


I AM OVER EXCITED NOW!!!

WHY? !

COZ I MET ANDREW!!!

Huh? Andrew who?



ANDREW TAN! From last season's Malaysian Idol!!! YAHHHHHH!!!!!

Haha... I'm actually not a fan of his, but I really admire his guitar skills. Well I was attending a Physics seminar which ended just about an hour ago. Imagine how my heart jumped when I saw him up on stage! He was one of the musicians playing for the songs which were sung then. What should I say? Of course he was really COOL! He looked really 'pro' up there. He looked slimmer than he was last year during MI, but more 'leng zai' lah, especially in person!Too bad I didn't bring my sis's camera to take his photo. I was regreting a lot.

But haha... I went up to him right after the program ended! I wasn't prepared for that. I was still wondering how I should approach him to get his autograph. I saw him almost alone a distance away, and hah... I dunno how, I walked up to him automatically! CRAZY! I know!The moment I called him, I 'automatically' (yeah I din't know I would be saying this) introduced myself. He seemed scared, haha...shy maybe, but who cares... I was lost for words. Shook hands with him, asked him a bit about his current life-going (he's pursuing his studies in UTAR). Then I did a somewhat stupid thing...I was 'missed-calling' my sis on the phone while talking to to him, I asked him if he would talk to my sis on the phone! GILA LAH!!! But I really didn't know what to say to him, and I didn't want my sis to lose the apportunity to talk to him. He was 'dun want lah' in the beginning, but then when I was calling my sis, there she was by my side! And how happy she was! Heehee... we took picture with him, he was really funny, making some funny noise while taking photo. After that, it was the turn for another group of 'fans' waiting nearby. And he did a 'cute' action - he was 'shy' and tried to hide behind a beam! Hehe! So funny of him! Then my sis let him sing on her CD - he was like 'wah!'

Really really glad to have met him, really really apologise for taking up his time (he was supposed to send people to the LRT station then). I dunno what my friends will think of me... must be "yerr, that sha po siao de!" I am who I am, 'SIAO' when I am 'siao'. Heehee...I'm be telling Ah Hun about this!

Hate the haze

Never have I seen such heavy haze before. I know from my friends that in 1997 there was an even worst haze in the country, but this one is already torturing me like hell! The haze which was caused by open burning in Sumatra, has been around us since last week maybe Tuesday.It got worse and worse everyday, and especially starting this week, we start to experience unhealthy air, in which we can smell smoke everywhere (except indoors). It was so bad today that the Teacher of the last 2 periods (Puan Mas Halila) couldn't stand it and she had to stop teaching. The class thought not to come to school the next day. We were wondering why the government didn't declare holiday at such an unhealthy weather. What we heard was the government wasn't gonna take any action if the atmosphere pollution doesn't reach 500 degrees. What the hell? By then I think half the people pengsan in hospital arlready loh! And the principal who has the authority to declare holiday, wasn't taking any action as well!

This afternoon I had to go to the dentist's for orthodontic treatment. My sis had to drive my mom and I to the LRT station since the haze was too heavy. Thank goodness the atmosphere was slightly better in Jelatek, so I could walk quite well to the clinic without respiratory problems. Still worrying about whether to go to school tomorrow, I watched the news on TV which staed that there will be a 'cuti ganti' for Thursday and Friday. I didn't know whether to believe it or not coz my dad said it was not for our school. But then, after confirmation from a few friends and the principal (not me who called him), I took the 'happy' news. Of course it wasn't happy, I'd rather study in school than to suffer this haze!

The worst affected area is Pelabuhan Klang with 410 degrees, while our area is reported 189 only. And yet we are suffering like this, then how do the people there survive? My gosh, I feel really suffocated thinking of that!

Ok, just take care of yourselves well everyone!

A tiring week

wow...finally over!

The last paper for monthly test was EST, but we guys have been relaxing right after the Physics paper. I didn't do well in that. Same with Chemistry. Shit. I mean, I really feel very disappointed with myself, especially since I have read the type of questions in my notes, but couldn't remember the details.

I really worry for my SPM. How the hell will I do if I keep on being like this?

HAve to continue to study, and work even harder. But for tonight, I won't just yet. Coz there a Malaysian Idol Special tonight! Gotta watch!

Are they really THAT bad?

It really get on my nerves about some news recently. While the Taiwanese group F4 have been promoting in Japan, there are some rumours which were negative about them.
Ken Chu was the most effected one. He had had rumours about cheating on his so-called 'girlfriend', and recently he was 'hooked up' with another Taiwanese female star. Some people commented that he wanted to created these kind of rumours by being caught with some female stars in order to get famous. Wow wow...this is so ridiculous! As far as I know Ken, he is not that type of person to do so. He hates a lot being roumoured and gossiped. HE is that kind of person who wants a peaceful life, not catching attention wherever he goes. Since he is planning to exit from the Entertainment circle in some years later, what is the purpose of creating these rumours then?
Other than that, most recently there were news of Vic, well...cheating on his 'girlfriend', too. Gosh, people just can't sleep without them being the bad guy in relationship huh? Then, there was this 'news' of him hurting himself because of some emotional pressure. Well, if he was the bad guy who cheats, why should he be hurting himself for that, since he 'felt right' to do the cheating?
Does it have to be the guys who will cheat on girls, not the girls wanting to 'pikat' them? And why should people try to spread negative gossips about F4, is it because they are jealous of them? Or they want to use their names in order to get famous?
You see, when you think on their side, you can see a total different scene. Just think about it.

Daniel is in!!! N he's BIG!

Jul 18, 2005
So So happy that Daniel got into the finals! Maybe it was expected but I was quite worry before the result show. Will be looking forward for the spectaculars then!

And guess what? Remember the Guest performer who sang in Jay Chow's concert 2 years ago? Well, surprisingly (to me), that person was DANIEL!!! I was very shocked when I read the news online last Friday. It's funny that no one mentioned it all the way during the competition. Anyway, up till now, What I know is Jay praised Daniel for playing the electronic guitar really well! Ain't that great? HAHA!!!

So you guys better watch out for him!

Sick the whole week

My goodness...I've been sick the whole week, and actually haven't recovered yet. From the day I returned from Genting Highlands, I've been having a strange kind of dizziness in my head, it feels as if I'm sea-sick. Sea-sick? duh... I dunno, it's also like when I've been playing or working for a whole day, my body feels tired and when I stopped, my mind was still 'moving'.

It didn't quite matter for the first day, but the dizziness got worse and worse until I really felt a headache and felt like vomiting. To make the matter worse, I started to have fever on Thursday besides having cold and cough which had lasted for more than a week. My god, every little sickness that I usually have came in all together in a day!

Then, on Friday, I was still sick, and believe me, I was so tired that I was blur for the whole day. The cold kept haunting me like hell, I was coughing, and my head ached a lot. I really hoped to get home for a nice nap.

On Saturday, I wasn't better. My boday was aching, and in the afternoon, Fever again. Wow, 2 fevers in a row, I thought the petai dishes I ate during these 2 days was the cause, adding that I've been having durians for a few days these 2 weeks. That was really too much!

So unlucky to get sick during this peak time--before exam. Now I have only 1 week left! OMG! Gotta hurry!

The talented... ...12 Girls Band

Had a rushing weekend. There was a lot of homework to do. But behind All that, there was a reason. We were going to Genting Highlands... For the concert of 12 Girls Band!
we were very lucky to get some sponsor for the tickets. We took off in the afternoon, so we had not enough time for theme park. The main point was the concert, which was very marvellous. However, I thought it was a short one, which lasted for around 1 hour 50 minutes only. After taht there was an autograph sesion held, and as the 'kepochi' we are, my sisters and I remained at the Arena of Stars watching the session until the end. But then they didn't really smile after that, I assume that they were tired and needed rest.

Later, we were to walk around the indoor theme park. Suddenly we spotted a guy with blonde (dyed) hair walking away. My sis said he looked like Adam from 8TV, but from the side ways I thought he did not. Until when my elder sis said the same thing, we (38ly) wanted to chase him, but unfortunately he had disappeared. later on, when we were hanging around in resort Hotel, we noticed some luggage with some boxes. The luggage were in big sizes, and the boxes were long. My sis thought it might be those belonging to the 12 girls band, so we waited a while and see if they appear there. unfortunate again, we didn't catch them. twice, that we 'cha jian er guo' with some superstars or artists. :(

The 12 Girls Band really impressed me a lot. Though Chinese Orchestra can be found a lot in China, it's really rare to find internationally well known ones. Now that they have become famous, their hard work really paid off. I really admire them for their profession in music. They even write some of their songs. Now, I really want to learn to play guitar properly, which I had failed to do so after a year. Maybe I should really take up guitar classes, but that all will have to wait until after the SPM. for the time being, I will focus my spirits on my studies. examination is near, better be careful!!!

omg...I won!

Oh my god... I really can't believe it... I won!!!

That was my first thought when I see the result. I was playing in the Scrabble Competition in catagory C, for Form 5 and 6. This was the final round, and I was against two six-formers (Boon Yung was in, but he didn't come). Wow...they were very competitive, that's why I was feeling so tensed that I didn't really talk.

We played until the very end, where all the tiles are picked. The final rounds were really 'sweaty', coz the remaining tiles were those with higher marks--more difficult letters.

To say the truth, I nearly lost the game, as it was a close call. My total score was only a 5-marks different from the runner-up. and if I didn't finish using my tiles, I wouldn't have gotten the extra 12 marks from my opponents. Most important, Both my opponent (Hong Wuh) and I spotted the same place to place ONE tile. His chance of score for that was higher(21 marks), but he wanted to leave the chance to the end. however, I took my step first, getting only 3 marks for that.That was the last tile, and I wasn't even sure if that word exists. if it doesn't, I lose. But it does! HAHA!!! and so the game ended.

I wasn't confident at all when the score was being counted. The opponents were really 'geng', with one or both scoring two words of 20+ marks. But it turned out that I had the highest score. that was really what I felt, I couldn't believe it. Gosh how happy I was! And how 'mad' Hong Wuh was! He kept bragging how he could have won. Poor him...so sorry to him, but I took my step, I had to do my best.

I'm so happy that I've won. I want to thank my mom, my dad, for letting me have the chance to learn more english, thanks to my friends for their support, and I want to thank bla bla bla......
I really want to thank ELS for holding the competition before I graduate (so that I can participate :+)5s1 for letting me have the chance to represent the class in the competition. Hehe... 5s1 has a name again!
JIA YOU 5S1!!!

Disgusted!

I was at the garden today, where I was jogging on the track surrounding the playground. When I passed by the playground, I noticed a few boys about 7-8 years old in a circle. From my view, i could see 1 or 2 boys doing some strange actions. To my horror, I saw smoke coming out of a boy's mouth! I couldn't believe it, but the group of boys there were really SMOKING! Well, there were not parents around the area (not their parents of course), I could see that they were doing it secretly, coz I saw them hiding the cigarettes in their clothes.

At such a young age, they are already exposed to this unhealthy habit. What will become of them as they grow older? It is a big chance that they get exposed to even dangerous stuff--like drugs. And who is responsible for this? Their parents? Their elder siblings (who might be smoking)? Or the the person who sold the cigarettes to them? If this continues, our country will someday be 'smoked down'!

We are not transparent

Remember the topic taught by the History teacher last Friday? Kepentingan Perlembagaan. She especially spoke about the part of 'hak dan istimewa orang Melayu'.

"Perlembagaan Malaysia, dalam Perkara 153 memperuntukkan peranan Yang di-Pertuan Agong dalam menjaga dan memelihara hak istimewa serta kedudukan orang Melayu dan bumiputera di Sarawak dan Sabah. hak istimewa tersebut ialah pemberian jawatan dalam perkhidmatan awam, biasiswa, kemudahan pendidikan serta pemberian lesen perniagaan dan perdagangan." (Buku teks Sejarah Ting. 5, Bab7, m/s 164)

She talked about the biasiswa thingy stating that the biasiswa was right to be given to bumiputeras. Yes, I agree. I have always accepted the hak istimewa of orang Melayu, and I respect it. But she missed out or she didn't talk about the last sentence of the paragraph:

"Walau bagaimanapun, perlembagaan juga memastikan Perkara 153 tersebut dilaksanakan dengan berhati-hati supaya pelaksanaannya tidak mengabaikan kaum-kaum yang lain."

Please lah teacher, we know that bumiputeras have hak istimewa, but we as 'kaum-kaum lian' also have our 'hak' also. And when you teach, remember to teach rightly not choose the text that you like.

MI2 : Workshop 1

For the whole week I've been waiting for this... ...well coz I'm really obssessed with Malaysian Idol!

but then, the Workshop 1 wasn't as good as I expected. The standard seems worse than MI 1. I mean, MI 1 was quite good, but according to what the judges stated, the standard was higher for this season. But how come the contestants can't sing well? And they are actually feeling very nervous that we can even see it through the camera?

Well for example, Norzila was the really nervous one that she forgot when to start, the whole session she was on stage she felt uneasy, and most important of all, she didn't sing well. I just wonder what Paul saw in her. Then Xerra. She was supposed to be a great singer, but her performance was plain. But still, I think she will make it to the Final 12. And Norzila might make it too...coz she has a pretty face.

The whole time watching MI 2, I feel that the standard has changed... ...dropped. They seem to take account of the physical looks more than last season's. And Paul Moss seem to like more of pretty girls than talented ones...... but why Kar Wei was out, I have no idea (some say it's because she is a second timer--second timers cannot get into the workshop round, or so.).

Anyway, I really hope for the better from Workshop 2. And of course, I really really hope to see Daniel get voted to get to the 12 Finalists.

Poor Kar Wei!

Poor her! Can't believe she's out of the contest Malaysian Idol. Her second try in the contest seemed a good start, but she wasn't chosen to get in to the top 24 despite Paul Moss's praisings. Too Bad!

Well thank goodness Daniel made it to the top 24. I was quite worried for him for his performance during the solo. Well, hopefully he'll not get everyone disappointed during the workshop.
And by the way, It's Daniel's birthday tomorrow! He's turning 23. Wish him a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Farewell Mdm Quah!

Today, the last day of Madam Quah in school.

Madam Quah is getting promoted as the Principal of SMK Lelaki Bukit Bintang starting from tomorrow. She was the Senior Assistant of Administration in Chong Hwa for 3 years, and have been a very responsible person and teacher. I could prove that as I was taught by her in Form 3.

The school arranged a farewell party for her today, which she attended with her family. Such a touching scene, I can't believe she is leaving us. But I am happy for her to be promoted.

Farewell Madam Quah, we will be missing you!
