Forget the roses are red, violets are blue, write a poem, yourself!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Well, in Hui Xin's blog, I comment in her chatbox about this kissing picture......
I make out a rhyme of this picture:
Why, oh why? Does the picture looks obscene?
Looking at it does it make a sin?
Is this guy and gal' remain unseen?
Or this picture remains a memory scene?
(OK, it may end up quite lame...)
Well, now I am drafting my 'proposal' rhyme, so this is a preview of the last stanza-the proposing part......
With the senses, you scented very balmy,
With the moonlight, your face looks gleamy,
It is this night, nothing would be the stymie,
The girl of my dreams, would you marry me?
(And at this point, some people will puke straight away!)

Is everything fated and destined?
Some people say there's a balance to everything. For every life there's a death, for every death, there is a life. But the introduction of life that was not meant to be, that can invalidate the list, force Death to start anew.-Final Destination 2 (2003)
Final Destination 2 is a supernatural thriller, and also a sequell from Final Destination in 2000 and had another sequal in 2006 and 2009. The whole movie is about survivors from an event die slowly in freak accidents. I am not going to speak about this film further more, and if you want to know more, click the address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination_2
But I will be talking about the quote.
Is it true that everything is fated, or destined, that if you force a life that should not be, you will force a new death?
Maybe it is for the plot of the movie, to make it interesting. But, is there really a balance in everything, including life and death?
I believe that He got the whole world in His hand, and therefore, everything will happen upon His will.
But, can we change fate? Even if we can, does it have reverse effect on us?
Can we cheat death? Can we control the time of labour, or birth?
You can say that there are many science around us that may help us to prolong our lives. But, sometimes there are something beyond our control, and it happened supernaturally.
Our life's final destination is still death, no matter what. And this is undeniable. But, in the matter of time of death and way of death, the only person who knows is Him.

Depression......
Pendidikan Seni Visual-60
I am a failure.
Everytime I look at the mirror, the mirror reflects the word 'LOSER'.
Everytime I look at the paper, I saw a jerk.
Useless fella (it pronounce as fe-ller).
I am useless. What am I born out for? What is the purpose of my life?
Words like "You are born to live a life" are crap. (No offence!)
What am I use for?
I doubt my existence. I always have. I always question the reason why I exist.
I have two idiotic thoughts:
A: I am a result of clergy error, whether is by purpose or accidental. Therefore, I am not living with my biological parents.
B: I am a result of an irresponsible act. An act just for fun and pleasure for a moment, but the burden to be carried for a life-time.
Whether is it A or B, the end result is still the same:
I=rubbish
I keep wondering to myself: I am useless in any ways (unless you can prove it that I am still worth), so why am I here?
Am I still worth?
Is life still worth living?

ABRSM examinations
I am posting this while you guys are in school.
Which means, I am not in school.
"You ponteng school? I tell..."
No, you all know me. I won't be ponteng-ing school.
"You self-quarantine yourself? A (H1N1)! Good lord, I just have in contact with this person few days ago!"
No, I don't have A (H1N1), please don't be panic. (though I have coughs and sore throats...)
For those who already know, this is not news to you. For those who still in the dark, I was taking my ABRSM examinations, like it or not.
How am I going to express my feelings here? Hmm......
Heartbeat doesn't race so fast, as people writes. They beat, very slowly. But, each heartbeat is a prominent one. You can feel it, without using your hand.
Before meeting the examiner......
The people from the registration counter ask things like, "Do you practice a lot?"
Then, he knock on the door, three times.
There is no response.
No one seems to open the door.
Suddenly......
(dinner bell ringing)
The man just opened in and I followed him at the back, with hesitation.
A "good morning" was presented. I replied back.
In the examination room......(the below conversations are not the exact words from the character's mouth. Don't expect the author to remember everything!)
"Do you want to try out the keys to make yourself comfortable?"
I nodded. A few keys was pressed, and a few moments later...
"So, you want to start with your scales or pieces firsts?"
"Scales firsts."
"Then, we shall start with your scales. (Then she asked about the Group 1 or 2, but I cannot remember how she asked...)
After scales......
"You may start your first piece whenever you ready."
The first piece was somelike disasterous. I trampled over the ornaments (which is a turn and a mordent mashed up), and the semiquavers for the left hand is not clear.......
Few moments later, "You may start your second piece whenever you are ready."
The second piece is much, much better from the previous one. (Probably because it is a slow one and expressive is my thing...)
Few moments later, "You may start your third piece when you are ready."
The third piece is not bad. I've done the acciaccatura and the foot stamping part. (There is a "right heel" note which means stamp with your right foot/heel)
After the three pieces...
"Now I want you to do a sight-reading for me." And she stood up, taking a book, "well, some people just look at the notes and some would played it," walk towards me. "(Finger pointing the book) You have half a minute to look through and it's called 'Sunny day'."
"I will inform you when I want to start."
I tried out, and it is quite okay. But it is otherwise when the real playing starts.
After the sight-reading tests...
"Now, I would like to do an aural test. Can you stand behind the piano and then I could see you?"
I stood, walked towards the back of the piano.
"Lovely. Now would you want to sing higher notes or lower notes?"
"Lower notes."
"Right. Now please sing to this." She pressed a key, and I sang, and a lower key, then an octave key.
"Now I will play a two-phrase piece and you will have to sing the lower part. And this your key chord (a G major chord played), and this is your starting note (a D note played)." Then, she plays the piece.
It is quite an easy one, and I sang, at least 75% is correct. Then......
"Try again. (She played the piece AGAIN)"
This time, I sang all the notes correct.
"Now, you will have to read through the piece and sing the upper part of the melody. This is your key chord (an E-flat major chord played), and your starting note is this (E-flat note played) and you will sing an octave lower (an octave lower E-flat note played). Remember, the speed of the piece is 1, 2, 1, 2. You can sing through and I am not listening yet."
I go through once. And she quickly started.
Then she said somekind like she missed a note or I missed a note, and we start the test AGAIN.
Then it's time for cadences. (I don't really remember how she asked in this section...)
Then, it's time for music perception.
"Now, I will play a piece and please notice the features of the piece. I will ask about the structure and the period of this piece."
She played a piece. And then she asked, "What can you say about the difference of the movements between the first part and the last part?"
I answered, full with doubts. "In the first part, both hands played in unison, and the last part, both hands seems to be contrapuntal and contrary."
She helped me to strengthen my answer. "In the last part, does the both hands still in the same position or they moved away?"
"They had moved an octave apart."
"Now, please clap this rhythm and tell me is it in 2, 3, 4, or 6/8 time."
She played the beginning section twice, and I clapped at least 60% of it.
"Is it in 2 time, 3 time, 4 time or 6/8 time?"
"6/8 time"
"And you have finished your exam for the day! Thank you and have a pleasant day. Bye bye!"
I replied a 'thank you' back.

A tribute to the King of Pop-Michael Jackson
Born: 29 August 1958
Deceased: 25 June 2009.
Before reading this post, all fans of this King of Pop, please put a silent mourn for 1 minute.
Frankly speaking, I am not such a fan of his. Seriously.
Why?
Easy. After the surgeries he undergo, he looks un-human. Don't you think so? It is sooooooooooo creepy.
But, after really reading wikipedia about him, he actually has skin problems. And that's why he go for those surgeries that makes him look so scary according my point of view.
Plus, all the charges of molestation of children worsens his reputation.
But there is one thing that we cannot deny. His music. His music is his legacy. And he had successfully made influence to people through his songs. Just by counting his fans, you can know how great is his influence. His music is full of energy, so much that makes listeners move. Yet, there are some songs of him cannot be sung by anyone else.
And almost forgot. His moonwalk. Everyone can imitate him, but no one can be able to compare their moves to this creator.
Most of us likes, or even loves his songs. So, should we keep in mind that he molested children before? Or, should we leave a good impression of him?
No matter how is it, we wish him rest in peace. To conclude this post, I will attach a verse from the Bible (don't know is it very appropriate) and my prayer (which is not so professional) to him.
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall
dewell in the house of the lord forever."-Psalm 23:6
And my own written prayer:
"Our Lord in Heaven, please bless the soul of our dearly pal here, Michael Joseph Jackson, may he rest in peace. Though he is a very dangerous man...
Though he can't differentiate between good and evil, black and white...
But he tried his best to heal the world...
With what he have. Oh, my Father in Heaven, please forgive all his sins, forgive all his wrongdoings, and bless his soul, as You, my Lord, love us equally. Amen."

Dum Spiro Spero-While I breathe, I Hope
This phrase is used by various places and families as a motto.
But, what inspired me to say about this phrase?
Easy. Just read Hui Xin's blog.
OK. Maybe not just that.
Yes, this week is one of my 'emo'-est week in my life.
(Use the tune of "Deck The Hall")
Tis' the week of revelation, fa la la la la, la la la la
All those effort has it paid for? Fa la la la la, la la la la
Should we be sad, or be gloomy? Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Now we shall know our results, fa la la la la, la la la la.
Exam results, is what students are frowning about. I am not spared. Therefore, I am being very emotional this week upon this issue.
I admit, that there is some consideration of mine is to commit suicide. But, when you just want to stab that knife to your chest, you just cannot do it. (Maybe I have to replace the term 'you' to 'I')
But, all bygones, be bygones. Since we had finished this examinations, we had to accept reality. All is to blame not much effort or input for examinations.
But, as long as we still have breath, we still can hope. I am not just referring to examinations, but all things like worldwide peace.
(Quite contradicting, because I am seen as a person who don't believe much in hope...)

Turning...turning...turning to 15......
Today, I am one day older. One year older.
Today, I am one day nearer to dying. One year nearer to death.
Days passed by as time flies like arrows.
Meanwhile...here's a joke.
Time flies like an arrow. What flies like a banana?
Cannot guess?
Fruitflies like a banana. Cold, isn't it?
Well, turning...turning...turning to 15......
At the end of the day, it's another ordinary day, full with struggle and war...

This is not a holiday.........
(Sigh) Few days left to the reopening of school a.k.a. mid-term examinations.
Yes, I went for a trip to Johor. But, I still can't be relaxed although there are 16 days of holiday.

An excursion down south
On Sunday, I went back to my mother's hometown a.k.a. my aunt's house.
My cousin and his wife gave birth to a girl on Friday,
We started our journey to Muar at around 10.50 a.m.
12.00 p.m., we stopped at Ayer Keroh R&R (southbound) for lunch.
We continued our journey at around 1 something.
However, we didn't straight away go to visit my cousin.
Instead, we go to the 'mystical' mountain of Tangkak-Gunung Ledang. And yes, I did climb but untill before the restricted area, which is just a trail to the peak instead stairs.
At the fenced point, it is 900 feet (274 m).
I didn't go for a swim in the waterfalls. Yes, it is magnificent, but I didn't expect to go for a detour to Mount Ophir.
It was somewhere 3 something when we got down. Then we head to Bandar Maharani, which is the town centre of Muar. We had tea in a shop, well actually we bought food from the stalls outside the coffee shop and just buy drinks from the shop. Some local delicacies-otak-otak and their Char Kuey Teow with "Teh Si Min Tim" as our tea. The otak-otak is nice, but the tea is unacceptable, my father complained.
Then, we head to my Aunt's house, in Bentayan. I didn't expect my cousin's wife can be released so early. So, I'm a little shocked to see they are there. We spend 2-3 hours there.
Night falls as we head to the hawker centre in the area, where we explore more local dishes. The centre of attraction came a little late as there are many customers had ordered earlier than us, and we had finished our 'main course'-yam rice, before it came. What do I mean? It is the unmistakably Fried Oyster with Egg.
It is 8 something and we head to my Grandmother's house for accommodation. On the way back, we got mesmerised with the signboard showing "1kg 50 cents". It is the season of harvest. Fruit harvest. And the signboard showing durian sold at 50 cents per kg.
A bargain, isn't it? Well, we are fooled. There is no such thing as 50 cents per kg. The cheapest is RM1 per kg. And that type of durians are poor in quality. Anyway, we bought some mangosteens and durians, eventually.
It is 9 something we arrived my grandmother's house. We ate the durians we just bought as it is opened and repacked. But there are some we put in grandmother's fridge.
Little bit later, we all went to bed. It is not so suitable to stay up so late in a village.
Next day morning, we had the breakfast that prepared by grandmother. Then, we packed up our things and leave the house at around 10. We stopped by at aunt's house to give some things that grandmother wants to give to my aunt.
Then, we went to Melaka instead going back home straight away. My mother wants to eat chicken rice balls, but my father brought us to a restaurant to eat mixed rice. Later, my mother wanted to go to Jonker Walk. But neither of us knows the directions. So I asked the owner of the restaurant about the directions. She said that Jonker Walk is within walking distance.
But, do you want to walk under the 1 p.m. sun? Eventually, my father brought us to Dataran Pahlawan's carpark to park our car. Then, we walk on foot to Jonker Walk. There are many historic sites along the way-the stadium where Tunku announce the date of Independence Day, which is now only left a part of it; A'Famosa Wall, Stadhuys and St. Paul Church.
After visiting Jonker Walk, we went back home, and of course we stopped by in Ayer Keroh R&R (northbound) for tea. We, like chariots, racing back home as it is a working day. And usually 5 pm car starting to cramp up the highways. Luckily it is a little jamed.
We reached home at 5.45 p.m.

Feeling jazzy this few days
Don't know why. I just feel nice with jazz music, no matter when dining with someone, or going to bed.
Oops, I just said a jazz song. ("Don't know why-Norah Jones" a great song!)
Everything seems to be feeling good when hearing to jazz.
(No way. I just splurt out two songs in one sentence. "Everything" and "Feeling Good" by Michael Buble. Nice song too.)
Oh, great. Despite these few days of revision, I take some day off to relax with these songs.
I also favour George Gershwin's An American in Paris.
Honestly speaking, I am piling some songs for my trip to Penang in August. Just in case I cannot sleep.
So, some from Michael Buble, some from Norah Jones, Louis Armstrong, Macy Gray and few others...into my spoiled MP4 player.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody
This is a quote by Bill Cosby. I found this line from Aaron's blog.
For over the years, I try to please as many people as I could.
But.......物极必反，器满则倾
I was enlightened by Aaron for this. So, thank you Aaron!
But, I still cannot stop myself from pleasing everybody in this world.
You must be thinking, "What type of jackass are you? Just accept the fact that you cannot please everyone on earth lah!"
I just...just cannot.
I know, that to be a person who is famous, should not be bothered to much about people's mind. Especially a politician, whose occupation is far more difficult to please his/her voters.
So, someone in this world, wake me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fiction of not, you decide......
This is a love story about Alice, Bob, Carol and Dave.
Alice is a very charming girl, who is able to attract quite a number of guys' attention. However, her taste is quite distinct. She likes someone intelligent, someone knows how to speak, someone great. And all of this matches Bob's character's.
Little did Alice know, that she has a secret admire, called Dave. He had developed interest on her, unconsiously. By some circumstances and factors, a person who refrains from love affairs, suddenly felt the power of love.
But, he knew Bob is having relationship with Alice, and it's an intimate one.
Dave knows how to think rationally. He didn't spoil the relationship between them, nor become the 'third person'. Instead, he keep his feelings secretive. He would like to be the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera, if Alice is Christine Daae, and Bob is Raoul.
Carol is a friend of three characters above. She is quite pessimistic about life. Thus, she is quite a suicidal person. But, of course, she is still alive. Once, in this very out-of-the-blue-moon time, Carol was so bored, she dragged Dave to a chapel to accompany her to listen some preachings, although she is not a Christian, and did not believe in God.
That time, Dave felt pity for her. He felt sorry because she did not know how to appreciate life. He felt sorry because she is not appreciated. At this point, he felt passionate about Carol. And he feels that it is an obligation to make her life more worth living. He feels that he has the responsibility to cheer her up, and make her feel appreciated.
In result, he had feelings on Carol. And even though Alice's 'field' is 'still open', Dave had gradually gave up admiring Alice and puts more attention to the pessimistic Carol. He is determined to give his life into cheering a person who is thought to be impossible to be cheered.
Is this fiction, or real-life situation, it's left to you all to decide.

Revelation of God
Not being sensitive about religion, I am going to say a real thing happened about the revelation of God.
It was Drama Competition Day (read Drama Day Version 2.0) and our lead role didn't bring his tie!
He thought the teacher having it, whereas the teacher thought it was the lead role whose taking it. And we end up being in this situation.
The lead role asked a cast member to bring a tie, but didn't mention what sort of tie. So this crew member brought a prefectorial tie, which is very unacceptable to use on stage.
Then everyone got furious. That time, I which is having my make-up done (If you really want to see my face, log on to http://nghuixin.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post.html). I prayed to God and beseech to Him that He will give us a helping hand.
Few moments later, one of the make-up artist had a 'eureka' on solving this problem. Fortunately, her friend was in Banting and quickly ask for his help. He arrived with the tie.
Is it me, or is it the revelation of God?

Exclusive: Reason why 3E camp is not held this year
In conjunction with State-Level Drama Competition, I will exclusively reveal a untold secret that kept, untill now.
The reason why 3E camp will not be held this year is easy: prejudice.
I admit, that everyone, include myself, have prejudice views. As how Aaron looks at me, almost everytime, as if I did something wrong, or I am too cockish. (Maybe I am wrong and cockish!)
Don't talk about Aaron's eyes anymore. Prejudice is something not good, and we must try to refrain from having it.
People often judge before knowing the holy truth.
But in this case, the real reason that made the organiser of the camp frustrate is......
(So sorry, but I can't tell you. I may feel guilty if i expose too much. This is the limits!)
One Day More! (to D-Day Version 2.0)
(Sigh) Time flies like an arrow, not like Maddona's song "Time goes by, so slowly......"
It's the Drama Day, now upgraded to State-level! And it's one more day!
Therefore, I present to you, from Les Miserables, One Day More!

"The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it, for the first time, with a sense of hope. Because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too."
The above is a voiceover of Sarah Connor, from the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Recently, RTM2 broadcast the movie, and therefore I go and find it's plot summary.
Well, in the beginning of the show, she is a psychotic, where she believes that Judgment Day falls on 28 August 1997 (if my memory serves me right!).
But later, she was saved by her 10-year old son, John Connor with the help of the Terminator, programmed 39 years ahead, to protect himself.
Anyway, that sentence is one inspirational sentence. We always abide the values of life, in search for a better living, a better life, and kill among ourselves. What is the value of living on, if we didn't live, with rightenous, justice, dignity and honour? Do we ever put hope on everything?

A man can contract and extend (don't be perverted!)
One day, Aaron Leong told me something. He said that my blog posts are very long, too long in precise. He said he cannot finish reading the posts.
Well, I am not so bored untill write short posts that only contain few words like this link.
I am not saying you have no rights to write short posts. Everyone has the freedom to write how long, or how short.
Ironically, I write this post is out of boredom........

Of Complications & Memories
These few days I am facing complications, and had made some of my blogs inactive. Well, I am that stupid to manage so many blogs. Anyway, I had made my bid to have some posting of my answers regarding to the R.AGE's "What d'ya say?", and my answer will also be accessible to everyone in Injustice-Inequality.
Talking about memories, these few days I saw one standard 4 pal of mine. His name is Wong Jing Wei as he wrote his contact in my small contact book 5 years ago. So long ago! But, anyway I don't think he recognise me already, or is he?
Should I approach him the next time I see him? Only God knows.

Added a nice song-to me, yes
It's ABBA fever! After the broadway cast, I suddenly have the urge of ABBA songs.
So, for the first song to post, it's........................
Thank You for the Music
I post this to my another blog too.
Clouds?
The above title: clouds, is the title for my essay on Monday.
What should I write?
Cannot be too factual, or it will easily doze people off.
Too fictional may cause lost of direction of essay.
(Sigh) Don't know what should I write..

Changed my blog address; Rubik's Cube-Is there any connection?
No, of course! But maybe there are two poles apart: one is to make yourself easier, another is to make yourself complicated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make everyone's life easier, I shortened and modified my blog web address, so it won't be so loooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng.
=====================================================
This morning, was a gloomy one. Rain kept pouring, and drizzle, on and off. And is stops near the afternoon.
It is not strange to see people playing with Rubik's cube in class. Nevertheless, it is still a toy. A best-selling toy around the world. As of January 2009, there are 390 million cubes sold worldwide.
I don't like playing it, honestly. It's not a game that waste your time, but a game to puzzled you and make life more miserable, unless you know the tricks and formula, and can unscramble it with no hassle.
I overheard a conversation between Ying Hong and Aaron. And they are discussing about the dimensions of the Rubik's cube.
I don't really remember it, but it was kind of crappy. With they talking about this 3-D puzzle becoming a 5-D or more, the talk makes the whole thing sounds funny.
The Rubik's cube fever had come and go, and come.
Mr. Williams commeted:
This game was a very popular game back in the 80s and 90s. And you still play
it?Maybe not exactly what he said, but something there.
No matter what, this fever will sure last, at least untill this year.

Good Friday-Easter Day
Crucify & Resurrection of Jesus-these are important dates all Christian will remember forever, because Jesus had died for our sins.
Unfortunately, I am stucked in the grey line between atheism and Christanity. Quite pathetic, is it? I believe that Jesus died for our sins, but my family members strongly disagree my faith.
Every night, I say my prayer-the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13; Luke 11:2-4), I had remembered it always, and I pray every assembly in school, every time I need divine intervention, every time I want to seek guidance from Him.
Every time, cryptically, and silently.
Oh, I wish that I will practice my faith openly.

Dramatic day for Drama
Oh......Dear, today is a very, very dramatic day. People say D-Day was the day where the Allies had landed France in WWII, I say this D-Day stands for 'Drama-Day'.
Yes, it is the Petaling Utama District Inter-school English Drama Competition. And as most of you all know, I am one of the cast in the drama team, to represent SMJK Katholik to compete.
4.12 am. That's HOW early I woke up today. Why? Just for make-up. Apparently, one of the cast's (Re Gin) mother had found us a make-up studio academy to help us in make-up for free. Yes, no charge involved.
When I reached there, there's only Yee Teng who almost have her face getting done. So, they also start making up my face. Then, other cast reached here as well, quite later.
"Where is the dramatism?" You may think, well, NOT YET! So, at around 5, everyone is here and starting to do their face. Then, suddenly...........
"Yee Teng, did you bring my roses?"
"I didn't take your roses. It's not in my bag."
"I didn't take the roses too. Where could it be?"
"Maybe someone had taken it and play or throw it away."
"I think Mr. Williams had taken it, why don't you give him a call?"
They called. And the teacher had the roses in his hands. In addition, he had made two pink dresses for the lower body for Godesses of Lust. Off phone, one of the cast (Fareen) said that she rather quit the team than wearing that pink dress.
I also had my problems, and it was regarding my make-up. My eyes irritate because of the, maybe, cosmetic products, where people normally also have when they just started make-up. Fortunately, with the help of Re Gin's mum (You are so helpful, auntie), I get my eyes washed so that it doesn't irritate so badly.
Then, it was closer to 7am. And everyone is not ready yet. Re Gin's mother, again, had helped us by calling a friend of hers, Madam Wu, to send some of us to a cast's house to take some essential items, and send us to the venue, SMK Taman S.E.A.
We reached the hall, and found out that we are the earliest team that arrived at 7.15 am. So we tried out the stage. Mr. Williams came next. Then the rest of the cast came too.
The dramatic part is here. The teacher ordered her to wear the pink dress, whereas Fareen had her stand clear-she doesn't want to wear it. So, there is a standoff that I can't describe happened here. And the result, Fareen retained her stand.
Later, Re Gin's mother had came to the venue, and also brought along 3 members of the academy to do touchups and chagnes. Well, mine was the biggest.
Suddenly, the PA started the event. And there are applause by other team. "Oh my god! The competition is going to start, how am I going to be done?"
We are the second team of the day, and we had to prepare ourselves while the first team was performing. And when they were announcing the start of the event, I am still in the middle of my add-on! Fortunately, they had managed to finsh quickly and I quickly grab my stuffs before they closed the doors for the teams to perform in a quiet condition.
After roughly 18 minutes, we were in the gent's changing room, saying our prayer, to hope that our performance will be a good show. Then, it's our turn.
Between the changes of scenes, we quickly put on our black masks and fingernails that was arranged properly by Brian (Thanks very much). Well, I managed to got all 10 nails, but then my left thumb's got off.
When it comes to the end, "You had made a wrong choice, Dr. Faustus!", "Make a wise choice to live with honour and dignity. There's where lies true joy........", the microphone had some problems and the narrator cannot continue his words. Luckily, the lead role, Zi Yi knew how to yell "No!" at the end.
After the show, we had questioned the failure of the microphone was merely a technical problem or done intentionally. We had think of sabotage, but had it fade away when the competition was undergoing.
After 8 teams had performed, now comes to the time, the moment of truth. The delibration among the judges. While the judges were delibrating, we had an interact session with the host of the reigning champion, and the last year national's champion, SMK Taman S.E.A..
The judges were back, and they gave comments: don't use the word 'shit' when you forgot your lines; don't speak too much while you were doing movements; etc.
"Going in 3rd place is......" We had hold our hands tight while the PA announcing the results.
"SMK ___________(Sorry, I forgot!)!"
Our feelings were tensed into the next level.
"Second place is.........team 5, SMK Taman S.E.A.!"
"Oh my god! Are we............."
"And this is the moment all of you had waiting. The first place goes to............"
"The tragic case............"
We shouted in joy even before the PA finished her announcement. It was too unbelievable, it was too unexpected. We had never ever think that we can get through this tough competition with the reigning champion as the host. Some broke into tears, while others hug each other.
It was an unbelievable experience, hard to believe it came true.
I hereby would like to thank all of those who helped us so much, especially our director, scriptwriter, and much more roles-taker, Mr. Williams in guiding us. I also would like to thank Re Gin's mother (nicknamed Esther by our teacher) for giving us support and found us a sponsor. I would like to thank the teachers for thier comments and guidiance. But most of all, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to all cast members, who had worked so much for the past weeks. We had endured a lot of obstacles and challenges, even the competition day itself. It's been a journey that will be remembered untill death. Once again I would like to thank all who had worked so hard and so much.
And, we shall make Petaling Utama proud!

Illicit-The Dark Trade
The title above, is a title for an episode of National Geographic documentary show.
I watched it, just now, on RTM1, your national TV station.
Although only half of it (it will continue tomorrow), it had already made an impact to me.
Is it scary to know that a kidney can be faked? Is it scary to realise that there are fake pharamaceutical products out there?
Well, this is the truth.
This forge market, had gone more than you think. Some may think that you can go to Golok and buy counterfeited products, or say that China has a lot of fake products. Actually, it had gone much futher. It had gone globally.
I think, that anything can be forged, but not things that relates to your body, like Panadol or Burnol. If you had watched the show, the part where they show how people forged medicines horrors you. Can you believe, that the yellow-coated-fake-medicine's coating comes from the paint you paint along the road and lead? I hate this part.
I still can't believe that people actually forged kidneys in India.
Throughout the show, I feel very creepy.

What Mother Earth gave us, we pay her another.....
The creation of Earth started 4.54 billion years ago. That time, it was only condensing water vapour, augmented ice and liquid water covers the Earth.
After years and years hit by asteroids, the Earth has supercontinents. Where supercontinents became smaller continents which is now continents.
Evolution of life took place after that, where there are more terms 'tagged' with "living things". There are many evolutions of life, of course the most obvious is the human evolution, which it creates the existence of us.
Human started to live in civilization. They invent equipments, learn agriculture, rare livestocks and making use of the natural resources. Soon, they start to learn to rule, to adminstrate the group of people they were living with.
Economy is created from the simple barter system. Our ancestor trade with shells after feeling the existence of inequality in trading. Coins are invented, so as cash. Bank was built to provide loans and funds initally, then it starts to keep money.
Culture is created probably without the slightest feeling yet making it a momentum to thrive a followance. From what we wear, what we speak, what we do, accidentally create a culture.
This is the past. How we are here today. Now, for the present..............(not the gift 'present')
I am not going to tell all of our deeds, or our doings, but instead let you think, wonder, ponder about the creation of us. How the enviroment and natural infrastructure is prepared for us to live. What Mother Earth had done to give a opportunity to let us live in a good enviroment.
The past is a mirror. Although I had not mentioned anything about polluting the enviroment or hurting mother nature, but it triggers us on what we have done to ruin all the efforts that Mother Nature done.
Think of it.
P.S.: Don't forget to off all your lights on Earth Hour (28th March 2009-8.30-9.30 p.m.)

The debate with my mom.........
Yes, yes, yes, you may say that I am not fillial, or no respect to the elders.
But it was a debate about politics, and you know how 'passionate' my mother is when it comes to politics.
Anyway, i down folded her.
This is how does the debate goes.
It was Monday night and my whole family sat in the living room watching Bones. (It was a nice show, really, with mixture of real investigation and adult humour.)
I started it with a question.
"I see that the daily night news will affect the people's heart on the only-1-year old Pakatan Rakyat by reporting it's bad side over the past year."
"Don't worrylah, there are many that still support wan......"
"Tell melah, prove to me that still got a lot of support."
"You didn't see the SMS polls ah, everytime got polls about government and opposition, they will SMS to support oppostion wan......"
"The polls cannot be the measurement to measure the support of the people. Those people who support are those who have handphones, not those people who lives in the kampung, who don't have handphones, like your mother."
"OK, how about Malaysiakini's poll, their polls shows that half of the Malays support PR and 70% of the non-Malays support PR."
"The poll is unreliable or maybe umusable. Their polls could be questionable as the voters are urban people."
"But, isn't the number of voters in urban areas are a lot?"
"If you want to win the general elections, you want many voters or many constituenties?"
istantly, my mother was speechless.
(Well, I promised I will write about the future of mine but instead I write this. In here, I sincerely express my greatest apologies.)
The future just happened......

Leong Kai Xian Aaron as a mirror to reflect flaw
Yes, I officially admit that I crave for attention. It was 16/2/09, my peer Aaron Leong had became a mirror to myself.
---------------------------------------
Emperor Tang Taizong has three special mirrors.
The first one is an ordinary mirror, which reflects his looks and let him check his tidyness before starting off a day.
The second mirror is, history. Yes, its syajaratun. History reflects the past and let him think of how does dynasties fall, plus to remind him the rise and fall of the society.
The third mirror, is his prime minister, Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng had relected his flaws, and rectify his mistakes, so Tang Taizong is grateful that he had a woderful prime minister.
When Wei Zheng passed away, he said "I had lost a mirror!"
----------------------------------------
Coming back to 2009. Aaron Leong had became a mirror for me. And I am glad that he had mirrored me, and I hope that he will forever mirror me untill I the day I die.
So, my first birthday resolution is......
DON'T BE TOO CRAVING FOR ATTENTION

Malaysia as the intersection of the East and West
Yes, yes, yes...... It is something like Form 1 Sejarah, right? Well, it's the TRUTH.
But, today, I'm not talking about history, but instead........ a thing called culture.
Yes, yes, yes...... You can either say that I am conservative, a nationist (since a person who discriminate a certain race is called racist), a person equal to Dr. Mahathir (or not)..............
But, it's a serious matter. A matter that concerns our lifestyle and our identity.
West: Mainly the United States
East: Japan, Taiwan, South Korea
From the West, we can see the hip-hop fashion had strongly influence how youngsters wear nowadays. (Not to offence!) As an example, the culture of sagging the pants had a great influence that it attacked Taiwan, Japan and Korea first before landing here.
Yes, it's not an offence to sag here, but it against the law when you wear in number of states in America. AMERICA, THE ORIGIN OF THIS CULTURE, HAS BANNED THIS CULTURE.
I did not say I ban this culture, in fact I can accept it. But in here, I would like to state that the hip-hop culture has really, really influenced people in here.
Forget the West, let's discuss our 'friends' in the East.
Well, there's actually a lot can be discussed, one of the obvious ones is kawaii. I did not say I don't like it, in fact I accept it as a normal thing. But, just for discussion. Actually, it haven't really have a great impact in here yet.
But, it had a significant sign of 'invading' Taiwanese & Singapore culture. In fact, Gwen Stefani used kawaii to give a brief mention for her music video Holloback Girl.
Kawaii culture sparks two professors different opinions, too.
Nobuyoshi Kurita, a sociology professor at Musashi University in Tokyo, has stated that "cute" is a "magic term" that encompasses everything that's acceptable and desirable in Japan.
Hiroto Murasawa, professor of beauty and culture at Osaka Shoin Women’s University asserts that cuteness is "a mentality that breeds non-assertion ... Individuals who choose to stand out get beaten down."
See, the second proffesor says that kawaii is childish. I did not say that.
The main objective of this post is..........
RESTORE OUR IDENTITY AS MALAYSIAN
We, Malaysians, have a unique identity. We don't need to copy or being influenced. In fact, we can create a culture from us. Yes, from us. Others can also catch up to our culture. But, the culture we create must not something from prison, or insulting intelligence. We create a culture, something such as multi-racial unity culture.
Malaysia acted as a intersection of culture, now let Malaysia turn to be a point of spreading good culture.

Breakthroughs...A breaking start of the New Year of 2009
The First post for this blog is.......
to breakthrough myself.
I know it's the third week of the year, and it's not Chinese New Year yet, but a late start for launching this blog won't be bad, right?
This blog=A online diary.
This equation is not quite right. After all, many people who write their feelings on blogs will be end up raised angers to those who mentioned in his/her blog.
But, who will listen if you write in an ordinary diary?
Yourself?
The diary? (People do write Dear Diary as their heading)
At least there are someone out there will know your grievances.
So, what's about Breakthrough?
Well, it's a online diary, but the main objective is to breakthrough myself.
(And I hope I do!)
