Stuck in Aussie...

My first day in Australia and already I’m missing home... Well maybe not that much =O

It’s 9.04pm at the moment, I’m blogging in a Dome café which is (too lazy to do further research) the closest Free Wifi providing outlet from my house (it’s 3KM AWAY !). Sadly, the Internet account they gave us was a dynamic one, meaning you’re only given a time limit for the Internet service and it only “stick” onto 1 device (per receipt I think). My brother activated our account with his iPhone so I was left net-less with my laptop....

It’s the 20^th of August, I was suppose to meet up with Nigel on Skype today, hence my desperation to find an Internet outlet. I hope he doesn’t get too upset... Or maybe he just forgot about the whole thing 0.0 Either way, I’m super despupu~~ for some Facebook ! Finding Free Wifi is harder than I thought D=

With limited supplies and resources here, I don’t think I’ll be able to survive for ONE WEEK ++. Can you imagine 1 week without Facebook ? Well, I guess I did go 3 months without Internet in PLKN (with a 1 week break in between =P) but that was different ! Back then, I had no choice.... and besides, my friends were there (yes, I actually managed to make friends on the spot without taking years)....

Not to mention all the homework and assignments waiting for me back home.... Bringing my Chemistry and PAM along wasn’t good enough ! I still have Maths T project. My Chemistry PEKA which I left in KK and my Sunday session Chemi tuition is finally starting this Sunday, but this time, I’m the one who won’t be able to attend D= Walao ! Talk about giving the teacher a bad first impression.... (and probably a bad impression for the rest of the year)

So many things to do back home. And you all should know how much I hate travelling >=D I could always touch that beloved piano of mine, go to the library, go out with friends AND MANY MORE,.... including DRIVE !  (like a boss)...

Please let this 1 week be entertaining and give me a good amount of Facebook in between....

Random Ranting Blog post: Read at own risk...

Need to update :v Haha, remember that whole 'I'll be an active and dedicated blogger now' moment ? Yea... it isn't working out. Form 6 is killing me and my hair is turning white at an incredible pace (true story). Honestly, that 3 week (or 2 week, depending on how you see it) orientation was extremely misguiding. When the mid-sem holidays were over. My teachers attacked me with everything they've got, a colourful and blinding variety of Pengajian Am, MUET, Maths T (oh curse Maths), Chemistry and Physics.

That's right, I chose Physics over Bio. Why ? Well, I guess it's because I score better in Physics than in Biology but they're both hard. So here WAS my dilemma: Physics = Maths. Me bad at Maths. Therefore, me bad at Physics. I think I'm ok when it comes to memorizing stuff which people use a lot in other subjects like History. I did ok on my History (I bagged an A- by studying on the last night o.o) but not so much on my Bio (C+) which made me wonder why am I so bad at memorizing Biology.... Oh maybe my memorizing capacity isn't that huge. But still, I practically scored in Physics by exploiting the "definition" system that LLL told me to do last year. I think I've failed at almost every question that asked for an equation. D= I was using explaining and definitions to score (which is ANOTHER BIO THING) so why did I do badly in Bio ? I'll never know. With Form 6/STPM (or pra-U as my Physics teacher calls it) Physics, there ain't much of those anymore and it's oriented more on calculations therefore, I shall FAIL =.= He IS right though, everything in the book is about equations and all those numbers, it's giving me a huge headache.

Oh but I know 1 thing that gives me a bigger headache, Maths T. Which is another name for Pure Mathematics. I'm wayyyyyy behind in this subject. Heck, I'm the only person in class who hasn't got the reference book for it yet (FYI, in Form 6, reference books = textbook). I hope I can keep up D= (remembers that I'm the only guy who got C in Add Maths in class)... Heck I'm even bad at MUET (kill me). I'm too flowery for the reality of MUET, it's too hard D= I really need to be more attentive in that class. Now we have an assignment and we have to present it in front of the whole class... My group is doing Science and Technology (against our will D= )....

Other random rants. OMG did you know ? My favorite badminton player is Lee Chong Wei ? No, I'm not just another one of those stereotypical players who admire the world's Number 1 badminton player nor am I someone who's just trying to look like he knows something about the Badminton world (I know a little >=D ) I support him because he's the underdog. Wow, i AM evil. Yes, I like supporting the underdogs because it's so kasian to see them lose and get stuck in a tight situation all the time. At the same time, I like to support a winner. And someone like LCW fits that bill completely (i'm super evil)... He holds the title for the winner of the Olympics in Badminton but then he loses to Lin Dan at all else. And to be honest, the underdog factor makes every match more interesting. I mean, how boring it'd be if I'd just turn on my TV and watch a badminton match for an hour knowing who the victor will be... On a side note, I've learned about the rules of badminton (achievement #646224 accomplished)

SOME OTHER RANDOM RANTS>.... The best things in life ?Well, I'm suppose to write an essay about it for my MUET homework but since it's NOT a free world out there. They'd probably kill me if I write my TRUEEEE~~ Feelings.... So I'm gonna whine here about what the best things in life are !

Music is awesome =D How can you live without MUSIC !? I mean can you honestly tell me you've never listen to music before (especially when you study/cram ?) Best part of it ? I can MAKE music with my fingers <3 any="any" best="best" especially="especially" ever="ever" exams="exams" forced="forced" habit="habit" i="i" m="m" not="not" now="now" p="p" taking="taking" test="test" when="when">

Other best things in life ? Well...it's a tough one but I'd say...

Epic beverages are EPIC ! As matter of fact, I'm going to Coffee Bean later to do some work since the library ain't open today. I can't do it at home since my laptop would be staring me down !

And the last best things in life ? Well I only need 3 points since the essay only require 3 and I wouldn't have enough time to finish the essay if I do more. Sooooo....

Need I say more ? Well that's all I could blog about this week. I'll try to update as much as I WANT... So you've got your fair warning k ? Seeya !

Always busy,

I.Love.My.Greenies!

'Nuff said ! Even if I wasted my day typing it ALLL out for you. You still wouldn't understand. You gotta see it to believe it ! What am I talking about ? I'm talking about one of my Top 3 Most Anticipated (it's one of the top 3, not third) Annual School Events: Sports Day. Why ? Because of my precious Greenies (Aud invented the term. Credit is due !) !!! Yes, perbarisan makes me high, in case you're unaware of what a dork i am *snorts*

I say this on behalf of every perbarisan (including ex-) trainers: I am immensely disappointed by Puan Haima's decision to switch Sports Day over to the middle of the year and have perbarisan practice only during 1M1S sessions. Obviously, she isn't aware of the methods we use to teach and how the training is affect's our beloved kids (that's what we call 'em). It takes days of non-stop practice to build those things into their system, and it takes countless meetings to actually GET-TO-KNOW your members and build a tight bond between the team. And of course, it helps get them pumped up about their contest. I'll tell you how we do it: THE GREENIE WAY ! Well, discipline is CRAP. Just have F.U.N ! DONE ! That's how we do it =D You have to agree that students have to realize that they're doing it for themselves, not for their houses or anything. That's just an assigning system. *continues to blabber*

See... If you treat 'em nice, they'll bond with you =)

And then comes the explicit stuff you do to the friends you've made. Notice how the girls in the background are staring ? THEY'RE JEALOUS !

And eventually ROMANCE <3

Oh in case you didn't know (for those REAL STALKERS), I was in the Red House before the Great Big Bang (NOT MAKING A KPOP REFERENCE) gave birth to 2 new colours: Orange and Purple and reshuffled all our houses. Obviously, I ended up in Green.

At first, my burning RED passion and loyalty would've stopped me from entering perbarisan again since I was on the Greenies but then wouldn't that stop inspiring people to join ? (Like how my seniors inspired me to) So I joined again with the intentions of teaching other kids like how they taught me (Yeah, this is so cheesy ~) Well that's what you should expect after getting a sorakan like "Light the Torch, Lead the Way; Red GREEN will burn through Night and Day". . . .Well I'm passing the torch, nothin' you can do 'bout it ! Well I wasn't the only one thinking that way, my past comrades-in-arms were helping their new teams too. OK TIME FOR SOME SERIOUS SH**....*puts on sunglasses*

This is was first gen New Greenies.

Our theme was Peter Pan.

Our first Ketua Perbarisan. Guan Gor.

10 minutes before Make-Up and contest....

10 minutes after contest. See, I'm bleeding green glitter on my shoulder....

Ok but enough of that. Now it's time for my OUR time to SHINE ! SEconD generation timE ~

This handsome man is our Ketua Perbarisan for the 2nd year.

Here's a more sexy shot of him !

Our theme that year was KERORO (it's ALL EDWARD's IDEA !)

The lady on the left is our commander and on the right is S.I.A.W (audrey'S antI stress Alleviation Woman)

Remember how I said we emphasize on FUN ? Well we were having too much fun taking photos and playing around that We MISSED OUR BUS !

We played EVEN MORE in the BUS !

BATTLE READY ARMOR ! Those guns on their left side are Aud's pride =')

Did i mention the green team is famous for making some really eff-ed up costumes ?

I suppose she's the Keroro's queen ?

You know you've succeeded in making those kids loyal when they're busy running around more than you trying to juggle perbarisan AND a weird dance routine they're doing (OMG BABY BABY BABY OHHHH)

That's the end of Chapter 2 ! One full of drama, suspense, comedy, despair, fear and of course, EpikNESS !

Sadly, I graduated D= Leaving those cute kids in the care of the "new trainers" LIKE A BOSS.... So I wasn't teaching them this year but I did help during Sports Day (yes, throughout 3 days). I wasn't very confident that they'd be able to pull it off since Chunyi said they're BAD everytime I asked her. I guess they've managed to pass my very very very low expectations when I saw them march ;-) (At least it was better than the time when I went to visit them in school for the FIRST TIME *disaster*)

Brian's successor !? LOL

They were helpful too =D Something we never really tried before.

The evening before the actual day. I came back to practice my driving so I might as well give them a little last minute tips ;-) Check out my extremely inappropriate attire (C.Neoh was right at the old kantin =\ )

This is our commander. Apparently he's kinda liang zai and he's only in Peralihan !

READY FOAR  BATTLE !

To get into the team spirit, I LET Aud do my hair as well. See the resemblance ?

 

Here's my hair during Form 4's contest.

And now this year's. So ? Which looks better ?

Our sepanduk with our 2 MILITARY TRAINERS ! ....complete with whistle necklace, each sold separately. Felicia in the middle is our ketua btw.

I dragged Aud into this as well !

Oh and before I forget, this is me wearing Red. See how ugly I am in it. Some people just have colors they look good/decent in and some colors that don't... OMG But it matches my track.b with red stripes and my red/black bag !

And so the match begins !

This is a desperate attempt of me trying to raise my blog's popularity by posting a photo with my brother in it which all the girls (AND I MEAN A.L.L) are CRAZY over !

Results ? We got 3rd place. Which isn't very satisfiying considering the fact that they broke my 2nd place record but I woudn't have wanted it ANY.OTHER.WAY( yes I'm repeating it) ANY OTHER WAYYYY. They're my GREENIES....so hands off B**** !

You're never gonna take away my Greenie spirit ! We're all awesome because we'll always be together !

My Nights of Fort come to an End...

Today is the last day of my beloved (and highly unappreciated) mid-term holidays... I can't believe time passed so fast. I mean it's always the same thing that happens.

3 Days After Holiday Started

"Wow it's been a few days already. But I didn't waste my time. I actually got some work done and I'll keep this up so I can have fun and still study in moderation !"

3 Days Before School Starts

"Y SO FAST PASS !?"

It's always like that. I tend to keep to my holiday resolution about studying or at least something productive. Then near the end of the first week, I've already almost completely lost all self control and deeply indulged in my all-fun-all-day routine. Makes me sad to see myself without any self control... I need to find my resolve....again.... GAH STPM is just around the corner (ironic that I've only attended 1 week of class) and it's already June ! (Isn't this the beginning of crisis mode for PMR, SPM and STPM takers ?) and here I am relaxing and slacking off ! Ok, I know I'm indirectly bashing the fact that they're making me take STPM 3 times now ! I do agree that it'll be better for us to juggle academically but have they ever stopped to think how it would affect our kokum lives ? I for one AM worried, very worried... That's why I won't let stuff like Kem Perdana slip, since there's no school and what not.

Wanna know how I spent wasted my holiday ?

Holiday Begins: Friday Afternoon

Attended Kem Perdana without going home until Sunday afternoon

Saturday

KEMMMMMMMMM

Sunday Afternoon

"Well I guess I deserve a day off since I've already helped out so much in school..."

Monday

Audrey and Siaw came over to "finish our homework" HAH we knew it wouldn't work

anyways....WASTED !

Candid shot by Aud of me PRETENDING to play my bro's guitar...

Tuesday

Full practice day with ShnWei for the upcoming Music Fes (which we lost D= )

Wednesday

It was a public holiday so I went to CityMall to do EVEN MOAR back-to-school shopping !

Look at what I found ? (NOOOOO PELANGGGIIIIIIII)

Thursday

Duet practice in the morning then did like 6 physics questions in the afternoon

6 questions in 3 hours is still good progress, right ?

Friday

More duet practice ! and Preperations for Music Fes !

Saturday

Went to Music Fes in the day and did peta minda for Kemahiran Belajar  at night but wasted 3 hours doing a peta esei =.= REDONE !

"The character of the minuet could not be achieved" BECAUSE WE'RE TOO AWESOME !

Sunday

Slack..... Oh and went for final practice before the driver's test the next day.

Monday

Went for test early in the morning. Then followed mom to office to print PA stuff in the afternoon

LIKE A BOSS !

Tuesday

Went to piano... that's all 0.0

And yet I'm too lazy to do my Theory D=

Wednesday

Finally gathered enough courage, perseverance and sense of responsibility to finish my peta minda for Kemahiran Mencari Maklumat and Menyoal.

I got carried away with my peta mindas one by one...

Thursday

Don't know how to do Keratan Akhbar so went to Audrey's house to steal her's to ask nicely and politely for assistance. Managed to get SOME work done =D and Thanks to Audrey for helping me DO some of them !

THE PRESSUE IS ON !

Friday

Went out to Upperstar with Teacher Eli, invited Audrey and Kent. Thank you for making yourselves available on such short notice =3  I was suppose to belanja Audrey but then Eli shocked us by treating all of us. Then, we went to ZenQ (OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG ) for desert where Yang Yang joined us ! Funny scene time (taken from Aud's blog) :

Kent: I'll have this.
me: I'll have this one then.
T: I WANT ICE CREAM.
Ellie: -orders for her mixed fruit shaved ice-
girl: oh you get to have one free drink, please choose from here.
me: -give then opportunity to choose- this one then.
Ellie: -sneakily and hastily hands the cashier money-
T: NOOOOOOOOO I SAID I WAS PAYING-grabs cashier's hand-
Ellie: oh no no no let me pay.-grabs cashier's and T's hand-
me: -standing between them- ...
T: AUDREY TAKE THE MONEY.
Ellie: no I said to let me pay.
cashier: -awkward smile-
other staff and customers:-looks at and smiles/grin/point/laugh-
me: ... *facepalm*

 This happened when we were choosing the desserts on the menu at the counter if you don't know. Yes, I wasn't going to let her pay again for our food especially since it was ME who wanted to go ZenQ ! Yay hooray for ZenQ (2nd time there and counting =D) Guilty for making a senior citizen (sound better ?) pay... And then we were pwned when the actual food came...

This is my Matcha (green tea) Shaved Ice (ice cream) with Red Bean. Sadly they ran out of Red Bean so they wanted to put Green BEan but I hate any form of beans in this so I said nevermind. And it's pure green tea goodness <3

Teacher Eli's gigantic Mixed Fruit Shaved Ice. Shared with Yang Yang !

Epic fail in manipulating the power of distance....

Audrey's shaved ice. Red bean replace with Greenies....

Kent-chan's shaved ice with weird jelly thing covering the top 0.0

Don't ask how we finished ALL of that because we didn't ! We even wasted a free drink ! How/why did we get a free drink ?

There it is ! Buy 3 of anything on the menu and you get 1 free drink of your choice. We ordered 4 so we could get 1 free drink. We already have something for each of us so we don't know where to give this baby to.

I don't know what it is but thank goodness it's black jelly inside. No one would claim this drink 'cuz we were all friggin' full so I just told Aud to pour it into the already gross enough (due to melted shaved ice and weird coloring) bowl with our leftovers WHILE the employees were not looking. Ok so that wasn't the nicest thing to do. It actually made us look like some crazy naughty kids and WE'RE WASTING VALUABLE FOOD that bla bla bla kids in africa bla bla starve to death.... So I told Aud to stop pouring (even thought it was my idea and I claim full responsibility for this act of spoiled-ness) and I DRANK and DRANK and DRANK and forced it down my throat....Yes that's why I was glad it was Black Jelly so it would flow down my throat naturally without much force. Until I noticed it was TOO BIG to go down (LOL). Cue the spit-it-out scene...

Teacher Ely. Still looks the same after 1 year.

Kent-chan and his leftover....

Yang Yang ! with his extremely cute Domo collar shirt (to match my Domo-Nyan Tee !)

Flip open the collar and you get MOAR cuteness <3

Dear Aud, be a sweetie and NOT kill me for taking a candid photo of you ! XD

Oh yeah. Our neighbor table was Mr Ling and Ms Chao (wait that was their names right ?)

I used Saturday to slack off even more and finish my homework. ALL FOURTEEN KERATAN AKHBARS FINISHED IN 3 DAYS (with minimum effort ?) and today I slacked even more and did this blog post at the last minute.... I hate procrastination...

 The wonders of PROCRASTINATION !

Tomorrow, my Form 6 life begins AGAIN ! Starting with First Period Perhimpunan, and me standing for almost 1 whole hour after sitting on that stone hard chair for 2 years. I wonder how it'll be ? Hot FOR SURE ! Hoping to make more friends in my class (even though I doubt it'll happen FAST)... Here's some extra random photos for thought !

The awkward moment when your aunt suddenly comes to your house and starts using your kitchen to make snacks...without saying anything...

Remember the zero error ?

I MISS NIGEL ! (the paper belonged to him ok ? I didn't write it. I'm NOT OBSESSED !)

I sugar-rushed myself with a bar of kit-kat to help with blogging and hopefully falling asleep later on !
