A star in my sky, the sparkle of my eye

Fine, I'll update.


Let me just run through what the past few weeks have been like, and what the next few weeks will be about.


I've gotten my marks for trials. The grading system is 75-100 = 1A, 65-74 = 2A, 60-64 = 3B, 55-59 = 4B, 50-54 = 5C, 45-49 = 6C, 40-44 = 7D, 35-39 = 8E, and finally 0-34 = 9G.

BM - 68 - 2A
BI - 93 - 1A *Highest*
Modern Math - 98 - 1A *Highest*
Sejarah - 61 - 3B
Moral - 76 - 1A
Add Math - 78 - 1A
Biology - 68 - 2A
Chemistry - 62 - 3B
Physics - 81 - 1A
EST - 91 - 1a - *Highest*

As usual, in 5 Jahiliah, Kok Ken is 1st, Tay Jun Lin is 2nd. Third is Suang Fu aka Char Siew aka Siew Yoke aka Yoke Gon aka Dong Chu Yoke, 4th is Kheng Lam aka Mush Lam aka Dongku, and I'm 5th. I lost to Suang Fu by 5 marks and lost to Kheng Lam by 1 mark. 1 friggin mark!! Damn him and his extra marks for Sejarah. xp 6th place goes to Tan Quan Yew, around 40 or 50 marks behind me lah.

So there.

Now that trials are over, people in form5 are constantly pontenging especially now that it's puasa month. Some stay at home, some go other places, some come to school and then go home, some come to school and disappear, and some (like me) come to school and stone away.

A few months back, I sort of started a new past time for us Jahiliahs. It's called Cho Dai Di. Hence, they unanimously elected me president of the CDD club although I suck at it, just cause I started playing it in school and bringing cards. Anyway, it used be under control and stuff like that. However, all good things will surely spread to other places, and 5/O and 5H and then 5N and 5K as well all joined in and played in their own classes or with us. Then of course when so many people do the same illegal thing, someone's bound to get caught. In this case, it was Theng and Hannamalai if I'm not mistaken. Theng and his gang were playing in the canteen when Mr.Han passed by and confiscated the cards and gave to pengetua. Pengetua actually held up the cards at assembly and reminded us that it's illegal and we should be "raping our books" - he pronounces read as rape. Immediately after that assembly, we were back to CDD in class as usual, then 5/O were also playing. Suddenly my monitor, Hariz, who was wandering around (refer to previous paragraph) called me on my hp and told me that pengetua was coming to class. I quickly raised the alarm, and just in time, for he walked just by our class then. Walk... Walk.. Walk... to 5/O. They didn't have the priviledge of a wandering sage as a monitor, (Jun Yang and Kiang were also playing I think) and so it was chaos. Everybody kept their cards in their pockets except for one smart fella named Hannamalai who swept all the cards on the table onto the floor with one giant swipe of his arm. Pengetua asked for the cards and that was it. Hah. As it turns out, it was my cards that they were using. Damn. Lucky I don't stamp the cards with my name, huh? Haha...

Well, now in 5Jahiliah it's even worse. I don't condone it. Lee Jun Lin and the others have started playing blackjack... with money. At first, they started playing poker with calculators (each person starts with 1000units), and then Hafidz and Naufal's gang started with real money, gambling ten cents per game or something like that. They even gambled one sen coins in the Bio lab. Jun Lin & co took it one step further: RM1 per game. (fyi, I have not participated in a single game which involves money because it feels TOO wrong to be done in school). Today I heard a very surprising thing. Jun Lin won big. Big. BIG. RM300 in a few hours. Apparently he won it from Theng through a RM10 game. That's seriously whack man. A fine example why we shouldn't gamble, especially since we're not earning that money.

Anyways, many of my CDD kaki have gone over to gamble money with Jun Lin & co, so I currently face lack of CDD kaki who DON'T gamble. Crap.

I still do study, don't get me wrong. I study in school sometimes, at home, on the LRT, at tuition, whenever I'm bored and lonely, out comes that Focus Excel book. I've even drawn up a mini schedule on roughly what I should be studying everyday. It's ok so far...

Attendance is so poor in form 5 now that the school came up with a brilliant plan: 2nd trials. what the...? didn't we just....? and now we have to....? who the....? what the...? how le....?
Well, on the bright side, the marks taken as our 'real' marks will be the higher of the two marks we get. For example, I got 68 and 93 for BM and BI 1st trials, and 75 and 90 for BM and BI 2nd trials. Final score: 75 and 93 for BM and BI. Cool eh? That's on the bright side.

We all know the down side, don't we? Study study study for exams... hate it. I'd rather study at my own pace. Sheesh.

Well, I guess I'll be concentrating on BM, Add Math, Chem, Sej, and Bio. The others are fine.

So this means that I can't update my blog THAT often. Hey, a guy's gotta destress right? Bring on the Xbox and PC games... woohoo! currently going to try out a new MMORPG called Granado Espada, by the same fella who came up with Ragnarok Online. Anyway, you don't have to worry about me because my style of playing online games is: play for a while, then when reach certain level that take ages to level up and gameplay gets boring, dump the game. Oh well. Haven't tried it out yet. Kwong Lim says it's good, Marvin says it doesn't look good. I'll just have to see for myself then...

Another thing, please don't pressure me to update. I'll update at my own pace, thanks... If you rush me, I might come up with some stupid post about nothing that contains nothing... So, quality over quantity eh?

Good luck to all those poor guys and girls taking exams soon. It's been nice knowing you.

Love and Forever

I had a dream, a fantasy.

It was cold, and she huddled closer. They were past the dreaded exam, and nothing in the world mattered to them more than each other. Alone, the two figures walked side by side, bathed in the midnight moonlight.

Words passed between them in hushed whispers. Silence surrounded the garden as they approached the balcony. There, they stared down from the highlands at the city in all its electric glory. Two tiny figures in such a huge world, sharing the biggest thing man has ever known: love. He put his arm around her and she did the same, sharing warmth, love, and so much more.

They had waited so long for this moment, and nothing was going to ruin it. 8 months together had taught them patience and tolerance and understanding. It was nearly a year after they first started off as friends, and then progressed to so much more. Slowly, very slowly but surely, they grew attached to one another and soon there was no doubt that there could not be one without the other; so close were they that they were inseperable but by divine interference.

He was no romeo, nothing special could be seen on the surface. But delve deeper; therein lies the purest of hearts, beating solely for her. The love he had for her grew brighter with each beat, defeating all darkness and blackness that had existed in him. It is she whom he had pledged himself to, it is she whom he had waited so patiently for, it is she whom he had devoted himself to, it is her whom he had sought, it is she whom he has decided to spend the rest of his life with.

She was beautiful, but not merely by the judges of sight, but also within her the purest and whitest goodness sparkled through her whole person. As peaceful and tranquil as a quiet stream in the dead of the night, her thoughts were for him and him alone. She held him close as their hearts beat their rhythm, she cared for him as if her love knew no bounds, and she loved him as if there was no tomorrow.

The deserted garden in all its silence stared at the couple as they first hugged and held each other for an eternity. The morning sun's rays started to illuminate the eastern horizon. Then they released each other just slightly so they could stare into each other's eyes. The feelings expressed in that connection cannot be put into words, it was above the human language to be described. The sun slowly rose, and soon the garden will see another day.

At an unspoken word, the couple locked lips for the first time in their lives.

The sun's rays fell on them, and there they remained permanently in that close embrace and expression of love, until eternity.


I had a dream, an imagined life, a moment of bliss, a flash of euphoria. I shall wait my time.

First Aid Saves Lives and Gives Ming Wai Happiness

Hi everyone! I finally finished a 'project' i started at home: to get a fully functional first aid kit for the home! haha... so there! here's an inside look at what makes MY first aid kit.. (qi kit wud prob do a better one, he's ex-storekeeper anyway, but i guess dis wud do as well...)
well, what else? labels!! hehe...

Ok, obviously you need to get a kit. A DIY kit shud be able to do the job... Printed logos of SJAM and First Aid are optional. =)


The top part: where all the small stuff go


also optional... heh...


in case you need them for stuff like securing bandages or even getting a splinter out

scissors, pen, tweezers, and pen torch


plasters... LOADS of em...


Top: 4cm x 2.0m self adhesive roller bandage with some fasteners if you want more security

Bottom: Small sized gauze (those white square shaped thingies)


2.5cm x 2.0m self adhesive roller bandage, tape for... taping lah.



10cm x 2.0m self adhesive roller bandage and cotton buds

open sesame! the bottom compartment


medium sized gauze (yes, those white thingies come in different sizes)


triangular bandages


gloves (for HANDS not other parts of body)


empty plastic bags just in case

cotton balls... these are actually cotton balls baluted with gauze, so the cotton doesnt stick to d skin while maintaining its absorbant quality. qi kit does a smaller one which has a little tail he calls some kind of cocktail...


what could these be??


acriflavine aka yellow liquid thingy: promote healing + disinfect


diluted dettol: the first thing to use when cleaning a wound... after water if possible. pls rmbr to DILUTE ur dettol before use, concentrated dettol can hurt... it's one capful to 120ml of water.

alrite! that concludes my little first aid kit tour. haha... whaddayathink? sure, i wont use it everyday lah, but in case of an emergency when ure over for a visit, rest assured i've got the skills, knowledge, and equipment to handle it... at least til we get u to a clinic or hospital if u really need it.

by the way, try listening to 'Mamula Moon' on the top right hand corner of my blog. It has a very... familiar ring to it, no? haha... i prefer this version tho. so romantic.... hehe...
