Erase It All !

OK, remember my previous blog post where I said there would be a post coming soon ? Well, that post didn't make it for it's debut.. REASON: It was way too long and I would never be able to finish it. It was a huge post regarding different stuff I did over the weekends (and some during weekdays). But it was just SOOOO much and I was so busy in school (and the activities which I was suppose to blog about) that I was creating more material than actually putting them into words ! Some examples are school concert (which I performed In), Installation Day (for the Interact Club), Green Team party (Good Bye Greenies !), Library's PSS Course (for the first time, I'm the Penceramah !), Powerpoint Competitions (from PSS and Kelab Sejarah, got 1st place in both :P), Audrey's Birthday party (MORE PARTY=HIGH) and many many more !

So my final trials just ended. That's a good thing !! Bad news : 28 more days till SPM... TWENTY FRIGGIN' EIGHT days for an exam that would determine the fate of my future...UGH it's like a bad educational chain reaction !

UPSR to see how good your High School class is gonna be ->
PMR to see whether you can take up Science Stream (which has more options than Commerce or Arts) ->
then we have SPM to see whether you're qualified to further your studies in "good" universities ->
After that you'll have to do good in Uni or else you won't be able to find a job (I'm more worried about the money I'm burning up if I need to repeat a year)

This reminds me of a really ridiculous "equation":
Lose Pen=No Pen
No Pen=No notes
No Notes=No study
No study=Fails
Fails=No diploma
No diploma=No job
No job=No money
No money=No food
No food=Skinny
Skinny=Ugly
Ugly=No love
No love=No Marriage
No Marriage=Depression
Depression=Sick
Sick=Death

DON'T LOSE YOUR PEN !
I didn't see that coming ! By the way, from now on, I'll be doing smaller more manageable posts so I won't OVER procrastinate (even procrastination has a limit !) on my posts. People who have read my blog, or even went through it would notice that my blog is very text-driven and consist of VERY little images. This is because I lack of a camera (and am noob at photography). But now Mom gave me a new camera. Actually it's an old one but she has a better one now and is giving the old one to me (even though I broke 2 previous ones, at the same time, I might add). But I'm not sure how will my new blogging habit turn out (I'm pretty sure this post is gonna become text-based again...) since there really isn't many good things to capture in life now. Except my dinner every night XD (Cameras are banned in school right ? If I'm wrong, someone please correct me so I can start capturing something worthwhile)

Now from the producers of RPB (Reckless Punk Blazers), comes Oddsey 4 (the 4 is part of the name) ! It's suppose to be a video series animated with Banned Story (that means we'll be using Maple-style avatars) and Sony Vegas (for animating them). Success rate of this project is still low because of all the time needed to animate. Simply put, 10 seconds of animation could take 1 day ! So RPB is gonna have fun tackling this challange (just for fun, NO GUARANTEES)


The story follows the life of Zack Sanbon as he ventures through his everyday life after going through an aptitude test to determine which High School he attends. NOTE: The following story takes place in another world, therefore MAGIC EXISTS ! Gosh, I hope I don't get killed for spoiling so much XD Visual novels are also interesting so I'll be looking forward to diving into that field ! Besides the difficulty of animating, our ONLY animator isn't very engaged by the story so she isn't really determined or anything. AND Youtube's uploader gives off static like in this video (only MUCH much worse). Apparently, Facebook can upload perfectly, though. SO NO PROMISES :)

Now for the New Flash of the Day, I EFF-ING STUDIED for the FIRST TIME !!! AHHHH OMG ZOMG ROFL LMAO...I finally found that instant urge to grab a book and start reading like crazy.... very much like the feeling of blogging ! When I start typing on my blog, I just can't stop, especially with the perfect combination of typing noise (*chik chik chik) and MUSIC ! It appears the same applies to STUDYING... YES I DISCOVERED THE SECRET TO MAKING MY BRAIN TICK ~ And that's music. But not just any music. It has to either be instrumentals (no vocals) or slight rap (at least to the point where I don't understand the words the singer is spouting). If they have no vocals that means my brain can enjoy the music AND not get extremely distracted by the meaning of vocals and words.

Here's 2 songs which helped me throughout my studies. Pursuing My True Self and Sky's The Limit !


Both songs belong to Persona 4, a game which involves shooting yourself in the head to summon a giant monster to attack others. It might sound violent but it's actually drunk with so much friendship speeches...1 for every character =.= They've just starting airing an anime adaption so if you're an anime fan. Don't forget to catch it !


Next, I would like to cheer for the new release of Charice's (Yep, fallen in love with her angelic voice) newest album, Infinity ! But more importantly, the 2nd track in the album, NEW WORLD which is being used as the theme song for Final Fantasy XIII-2. Charice+Lightning=Epic Win !


I hope you guys take a moment to listen to this great tune because it's ummm....AWESOME !? Yes, yes it is !
Anyways, now that I'm officially back to blogging, I'll start to try and capture something nice to show (like my exam papers XD) Way to go TK, 1 month before SPM and you decide to get back into blogging =.= Well it's a method of de-stressing ok... Am still eagerly waiting for the results of the first test which I studied for... Got a 55.5/110 for BM paper 2 which isn't looking very bright for my morale ! TK OUT !

Anyway I want it !

UGHHH Finally, the midterms exam is OVEr !!! WOOHOO, I thought it'd never end ! Well, now I'm just sitting around in my room the whole day waiting to decay, which I enjoy :) It's better than SOME things that I experience in school. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see my friends everyday. But you should be able to understand that there aren't always happy moments in school. This applies to life too :) That's why I'm decaying...in my room

 
Shall I give you despair ?

So first of all, I would like to SEIZE this chance to say "YAYYYYY" because I've finally gotten my blogging motivation back on. Inspiration is now flying through my head, although I'm still trying to purge those unhappy inspirations.AHH, they're unavoidable, but it's this kinda things that make us stronger ! Now for a bit of final year reflection, I felt that things are much more fun and sensitive in my final year. I mean, this year is (and supposed to) gonna be scarred in my brain for almost forever. So everything that happens, good and bad, might as well be treasured. I mean it's not like we get to repeat everything all over again, and I'm sure SOMETHING has to happen to everyone once in a while (for me, it's almost everyday). Whether it's an incredible joke (I practically laugh at everything) or an accomplishment or just getting hyped up about something that's about to happen. I get hyped up pretty easily too :) unlike CSF :P  he's just too serious for his own good !

Anyways, Music Fes is this Saturday !!! It's a annual event hosted (most of the time) at Sutera Harbour. It's where talented people (TROLLFACE!!!) like me compete to win a piece of shiny, coloured plastic ! Sounds exciting, no ? I've participated more or less every year since Primary 3 but only won 3 times. The last time was in Form 3, a duet with Andre. We got first place ! I remember we were both like hopeless after they announced the 2nd place but DID WE get the biggest shock of our lives when they announced us as 1st place winners ! Ah yes, Form 3, my yesteryear ! I've blogged about it too ! Just click HERE !

This year, I'm doing a solo and a duet. This is my first time juggling two seperate competitions in a year. Let me explain. The whole shindig is divided into dozens of different categories (they even have a violin and band competition) About 7 seven of them takes place at once since they're making use of Sutera Harbour's multiple ballrooms. Each category has about 2 to 8 contestants. Now that you know, it's not really scary right ? It's not like there's 100 contestants at once. I remember when I was in Form 1, there were only 4-5 contestants (including me) and I didn't win :( I was kinda keeping my hopes up high 'cuz of the numbers and the odds. One of my mistakes back then was wearing sandles to a performance, mom was there, she didn't know, LOL.

Back to topic, this year, I'm doing Serenity of the Heart for my solo and Military March with ShnWei. Serenity of the Heart (SOTH) is one of my songs for my Grade 6 examination. There's another one which I think is easier called The Storm. As you can tell, SOTH is supposed to be calm while the Storm is a song filled with raging dynamics. I wanted to use The Storm as my choice for the contest but the teacher said that's more suited for Andre because I can play much more dramatically and emotionally. I was flattered back then so I accepted but now it's super hard for me to express my music in a calm and peaceful way. Most of the notes I play aren't (or doesn't even sound) even connected like it should be. I'm not sure will I be able to bag a trophy about this one or will I end up in last place. They won't tell you which place you've gotten unless you're number 1,2 or 3 ! So it's kinda a relief. Here is a little training video we did on Monday. IT'S JUST TRAINING and it's not the complete song yet...


Not really perfect, I made mistakes, she made mistakes but we're just in it for the fun :) That is if you don't count the fact that we're putting RM110 on the line just for a chance to win two pieces of plastic...I'll blog more later ! Ciao...

Seriously ?

You know what ? I actually had more than 10 drafts on this post. That's right, I kept on failing to finish what I started because of TIME ! I always start full of motivation and determination, then distractions starts flying in my window. It's really annoying and it's kinda bad 'cuz now I have TOO many things to write about. And I'm not in the mood for writing anymore. Marie can do a post for 4 hours. WOW. I'm impressed. But I suppose I should blog a bit even though exam is coming up. I still have my Moral and 3 Physics Peka to worry about. I'm already more than 1 month late for Moral and my 3 pekas are due next week. So I have to stress ! and RUSH of course...

I seriously dunno what to talk about now, because if I start a story, I'll risk leaving this SHORT post draft-ed ! Let's talk about feelings....I have feelings TOO y'KNOW ! Ugh that was horrible. Still on the rush ! Crystel's almost done with her moral projek !!! HELP !

Jump up with Glee

OMG I'm starting to get goosebumps with Glee...I "borrowed" 3 likeable episodes from my brother and now I can't stop watching it again and again AND AGAIN ! (did I mention again ?) Muhahaha Love Sue even though I think she's the biggest bit** I've ever seen ! (Big Nap Later) She's awesome that way :) I love how she goes berserk again and again ! HILARIOUS (destruction incarnate ! and ego maniac)... Anyways, holiday is almost (heck it's ALREADY over !) over ! No study is done whatsoever...

Powerpoint 95% done ^.^ and I got a copy of Life by Powerpoint which is a very long and boring guide about how to make effective presentations ! It's boring but it's perfect for a person like me. So far I have these things to cover after SPM:

  • Ummm...Project X which is a secret !
  • Life by Powerpoint
  • The Facebook Effect
  • Love over Coffee (unconfirmed)
For those of you wondering what the Facebook Effect is. It's a (also very thick) novel about how Facebook was created. It's more or less like the movie "The Social Network" only without the sex, drugs and other unhealthy things which might attract more teenage viewers :)  Love over Coffee is (what I assume) a romance novel about work and love and you know those typical stories where the make the main character choose one of them and lose the other one but in the end he manage to retain both of them because of a convenient plot twist ! Beside, coffee makes me crave for books even though I'll have to push it back until SPM is over. I saw it at Popular that day when I went shopping with Andre and Sophia. Felt interesting so I WANT IT.

While typing the above paragraph, I seem to talk as if I've overlooked or underestimated SPM as an easy obstacle...Well it isn't. Teacher even told my mom that I might fail so I'm pretty depressed and trying not to think about it :( Everyone's improving but I'm still standing at where I started at January.....LAsT YEAR....OK not gonna talk about that anymore now that I've got that thing off my chest. Agendas left this year until I can (try to) study in peace:

  • Planning for Installation Night
  • Planning for Inter School IU Day (if possible)
  • Library ! Oh boy. Retirement August to September
  • Green Team ? Not giving up until I get my PARTY !

 Oh yeah Glee likes to teach us "bad things". Getting pregnant, lying to your husband, Lots of fake cleavage, Being Gay (no offense to a certain girl) and using Slushies as a bullying tool....

She's awesome ! 

I wonder does the actor enjoy her role ? 

 The souvenir I got that day. Gonna remember it always. The heavenly hell I went true. I think I just regained (not that I had any before) my drive for Wushu :)

Teacher Lim and Yong's ping pong balls. They just let their children practice for hours !

  Ma Chi Di Di. Megan called him gay but I think a certain someone will say "He is unworthy of being gay :) !"

INspiration Yet ?

It's been a while since I updated my bloggy. I'm really dull nowadays, and am dealing with LOTS of work. Just spent 1 whole week sorting out interviews for this year's new PSS recruit :) Yay, I'm giving the interviews ! I remember back then, they were giving ME the interviews and then they were so SCARY. Acting all professional and not even smiling. GAWD I was so worried about the results, not 'cuz I REALLY wanna be a PSS but not being qualified will be totally humiliating !

So, as a result of giving extremely tiring interviews to (mostly) freshmens, I skipped (purely on Interview sessions) 5 periods in 1 week. The first period after every recess ! On Friday, I skipped 2 though :P Had to arrange some documents with Vivian and Chang Sin Fung because SOMEBODY likes to procrastinate ! And wants to study and let the naib pengerusi do everything. Well at least I exerted all of my anger towards the AJK Promosi so we have about 30 new PSS this year (although I have doubts whether they will remain obedient and loyal TO ME !!! We had a meeting on the Monday before the exam started (CSF seriously chose a very misguiding date) to explain the ethnics of being a PSS and also to tell them about our Kursus Dalaman PSS AND recieve their temporary PSS Name Tags (which we "borrowed" from the Bilik Kaunseling)...Some interesting students this year. And a lot of them resigned before they even started (but they seemed totally fine during the interviews WTF ?) So now, I got to know some new ones that are pretty special to me in some way. There's the 2 class monitors of PC in Blok C, Mohd Ryoji (lol) Mixed Japanese with Malay and Nathaniel Tham (whose Tam in Chinese is the same as mine). Another interesting thing is that there's quite a number of PSS whose kokum are filled with busy stuff. Mostly, Choir, Pancaragam and CO. So I'm starting to doubt their working abilities and endurance. But seriously, we get paid (marks) as much as a pengawas but we only need to work once a week...Yet some are just too lazy...

Anyways, lots of fuss I wanna make about the PSS etc but there FUN-ner stuff to talk about. Let's start with Friday, YAY NO CHEMISTRY TUITION. It's like the first time I'm staying in school on a Friday this year. So I had to rush to the Bio Lab right after the final paper with Felix, Char, Crys, Jeag Man and Kent to get going on our experiment...This is the 3rd time we enter the Bio Lab just to do the same experiment (we failed over 5 times !) Finally finished at 1.30pm (90 minutes spent). Felix said his dad knows my dad ? LOLZ ? Haven't asked my dad yet...After that, went to have lunch. Couldn't find anyone except Shu Min so I settled with her. (All her friends said I have ties with her :P) Then I saw the purple team was having their "party". Yang Yang went to buy Yoyo (yup, purely treated) for the kids and Melia did cute bookmark cut-outs for everyone with their name on it. Even Kester came (I heard he's a relieve teacher at another school)...So I decided to beg (buy) an extra YOYO they have. Melia said it's free even though I offered her everything in my pocket (Tissue, RM2, some coins, a lip bump. YAY Pearls ! (haven't had one in at least a fortnight=ages) Then I went to the library which was DEAD 'cuz the holiday already started. Saw Huang sitting quitely in the English 700 ARTS Corner and he seems to be absorbed in all the Artbooks. Lol, me, Ketty, Vivian, Huang and Yang Yang had a little talk 'cuz the library is like EMPTY...Then waited for car but mom forgotten about me =.= again. So ShnWei offered a ride to tuition with her. Oh boy, everyone was like getting the wrong idea (even the teacher) when we went in together...UGGGHHHH

Now a little bit of attention on the mother nature. Who HASN'T heard of the Earquake+Tsunami in Japan ? Well it's like the biggest trend going on today. GOSSIP ! I mean 2 in 1 disaster package....AND it's JAPAN....Friggin' Japan ! MANGAS AND ANIMES ! Not to mention awesome GAMES ? And it happened in TOKYO ! I just hope none of those things went to WASTE :) Seriously, when my tuition teacher told us about that. I wasn't really thinking about the people. I was thinking about their products :) (Free products nonetheless) OKAY News Flash, I cant find the next issue of Fairy Tail which was supposed to be released 2 days ago (UHOH). Well, I advise you all to pray for the people (gonna be hearing lots of JB from now on) and eat your veges (and don't dominate other countries and slaughter their people without remorse. Karma's gonna get you !) If you think karma is important then click on this message !

Now back to Saturday. My whole day is ruined 'cuz the Greenie's outing was canceled due to the recent Tsunami waves (M'sia always uses Indo and Phili as shields ^.^) Although the chances are very low, parents (especially FORM ONE) won't let their kids out (you can never be too safe). At night, went to Abby's birthday (well at least it's not next to the sea)...Naturally, I'm a stranger in the eyes of all girls, vice verse. So I "lured" Audrey in with a whopping round of BBS ! (Mission Success) She friggin' scared me (ShnWei too 'cuz she was eavesdropping) when she said "Utada Hikaru died in the Earthquake" WTFFFF Yeah, I got my revenge when I kept telling her stories when she was watching the BBS cutscenes. I was like "That was a dream !" "Aqua died !" "OMG Terra exploded (funniest one yet)"....Had fun...Did I mention I played the High School Musical Karaoke Game ! OMG Was high (Happy Belated Birthday to Abby and her sexy new polaroid/ Happy Birthday to Brandon too !)

*SKIP SUNDAY 'CUZ IT'S HOLIDAY SO EVERYDAY IS A SUNDAY
ON SECOND THOUGHT, SKIP MONDAY TOO :)*

On Tuesday, went to school at 8 'cuz we (Wushu members) have to return to school to greet the guest (Wushu students) from China. At first, we (mostly LJB) were a bit calmer 'cuz it was confirmed that we don't need to perform in front of them. So, as always, there was a BIG delay and we only started at about 11. There were only about 10 students. THEN we needed to perform. WTF ? Well only the seniors...So yeah, DOUBLE WTF !!! I was so nervous. Everyone was in a mess. Put it short, we did bad and crappy. Then there was this one on one session. We only had 8 seniors so it was enough to go around. My "senpai" was totally strict =.= And he said I needed to use MORE ENERGY . But I was, don't blame me just 'cuz I'm weak T.T. My legs were the problem. They HURT now, and then cramp. Long long torture. I'm not sure about the others though but I felt like fainting any second. He offered me a break time two times but I rejected and he was like "Good" (Olala he knows a bit of English too !) Time was almost up, we gathered in front of stage and they performed to us. They did the same "moveset" as us only that they did it with FURIOUS anger and loud screams. And they did multiple steps in one command. PLUS OMG they STOMPED on our stage. It would be hilarious if it was gonna break any second. TOO BAD IT DIDn'T. After that they gave us each a souvenir. Like "senpai" to student. My senpai gave me a pink thingy. I'll post a picture of it in my next post :) Makes me think of that scene "DEIDARA-senpai ! Noooo He was a strict senpai but a good one too" It'll be easy go guess who said it...

Spent these few days working on the powerpoint for the library. Teacher Elly wants to put it on the scholl's website so I feel sooo honoured ! I decided the make a credit page at the back just because it feels totally formal. Now it's not a powerpoint presentation anymore but a powerpoint interface. It looks nice and I even chose a fancy little background theme for the credits at the last page...Really liked what I did. Took me quite some time to get everything done. But I'm really satisfied. Now all that's left is the polishing and re-arrangements to make everything look nice :) 5 more pages till perfection ! Well seeya next time !
