How's life?

Seriously, how's life?

You realised that things had already changed a lot ever since we left school. Example:

First and foremost; College.


Life as a post-grad Form 5 whom seek for a greater aim in their life will continue their studies to achieve their dreams. College will be the choice for them but everything comes with their price.

There's INTI


KDU


and the infamous DISTED


Pricey yes, but every dream comes with a higher price. Just choose wisely people.

Next we have "Part-time job"

Job = Money not Parent = Money. Nothing is free in this world, so try to learn to be independent before it's too late. The real world is not the same when you are in those 4 walls of your classroom.

Can't find a job? Try Gurney Plaza. You will be surprise how many vacancy slot you can find! If you can't, it means that you are too lazy to find one.

Remember your Moral's nilai; 'Berdikari'

Last but not least, worst out of the worst, Rotting at home.


Staying at home, Facebooking... 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 30 days a month. WOW.

This routine is almost predictable:

Wake up > Computer on > Facebook > Check Profile > Click home > Refresh x 100 > Close Computer.

Omg, I will die in this situation. So, find something to do! Hang out, get job or travel. SPM results in couple of month from now, better for you to enjoy before you regret.

Last but not least, for god sake, don't keep posting "FML" in your Facebook. There's worst compare to our life now. Just FIND YOUR SOLUTION of your PROBLEM!

=)

It's Christmas, soon.

I seriously haven step in this blog for almost 3 months already! Time to buckle up!
Anyway, any plan for holidays? I have suggestion here!

1. Prom


For those who bought the tickets before/on SPM, remember you have appointment for dinner at Gurney Hotel at 22nd of December!! Hopefully our dear committee members will give you a 'time of your life'.

2. Movie and more movies


Gurney Plaza's GSC, your one-stop entertainment for your favorite movies; Harry Potter, Narnia, Rapunzel, Tron, you name it! Hang out with friends would be nice too.

3. Part-time job


Teenagers like us love to spend! BUY this and that! but seriously, won't you feel guilty just by spending the money that aren't yours? Try to get a part-time job and you will taste the bitterness of your parent's hard-earn money.

4. Quality time/ Family time


Nothing last for eternity, therefore have some your quality time with your dearest family. You might hate your parent because they keep scolding you but why not take a day, or even a dinner together and just have fun. It will definitely change your relationship towards the positive area.

5. Exercise


Exercise! or else Facebook is killing your health! Get up and move, sports, gym, hiking, just go for it. Just keep it as a mini routine of yours and you will keep the doctor away.

7. Vacation


After a long battle, you deserved a time-out, pick a location and plan your vacation now! It does not need to be out-station, choose Malaysia would be enough! Langkawi, Cameron Highland, Pulau Perhentian, Frazer Hill, Mount Kinabalu. Interesting places, right?

Well, I had already suggested 7 ways, it's up to you to make your own choices now. Have some relaxation because I been hearing lots of people planning to go for college on January intake. It's good to be ambitious, just remember this, "It's a journey, not a race."

Have fun and early MERRY CHRISTMAS! HoHoHO =D

World Cup Over

It's finally over. After a month and a day of free newspaper specially for football, the production had finally stopped! Save the Earth! Go Green!

Well, no one cares about the Earth actually. Speaking of FiFa, I guess South Africa isn't that bad as I thought; they manage to keep the matches on go on smoothly until Spain won. Wait... I'm sorry Holland but it's had been a fact that they won!

After all the adrenaline going on during midnight, I can guess that most of the student are very active at night but when sun rises, 75% will fall asleep during class these few days due to the adaptation of 'burning the midnight oil' for football. It feels like a vampire!

Bye bye Spain as I don't think you'll win next timeBye bye Holland as you'll come back again next time?
Bye bye Fifa as we won't see you around soon

and most importantly,

Bye bye Paul the Octopus!

Bad Romance

Check this out, something I got from Kenneth's Facebook.

Scenery?

Well, last Wednesday I was quite bored and I took a walk to Botanical Garden in the dawn. So, I was pretty bored and these are some 'photography lesson' I had. Enjoy!

Wicked Tree of Whisker Wood


Breaking Dawn?

Sunrise at Sunrise

A Great Lost

Xaverians,

Today we experience a great lost of an individual of St. Xavier's Institution. Rev. Brother Brandon, was departure back to the Origin this morning. Our school just lost another Brother who was caring for the school and the students. Therefore, let us just pray for him and may God bless him.

A moment of silence...

Thank you.

Solar Eclipse

Dear Xaverian,

On this Friday, the 15th of January, there will be a annular solar eclipse happening! Therefore, prepare because this phenomena doesn't occur so often. Well, the eclipse will be visible here between 3.15pm and 5.15pm. Therefore, watch out for the sky for these 2 hours because the eclipse, I mean the total eclipse duration might not be longer than 12 minutes.

You can read the local news here,

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 7 (Bernama) -- Malaysians will have the chance to observe again a partial solar eclipse known as the annular solar eclipse this Jan 15 between 3pm and 5.45pm.

The National Space Agency (Angkasa) said in a statement that members of the public could witness up to 40 per cent of the sun that would be obscured by the moon in the north of the peninsula in the evening.

"Langkawi would be the strategic location to observe the eclipse in Malaysia with 40 per cent of the sun obscured by the moon, while the coastal areas towards west would be an ideal location to witness the final eclipse during sunset," the agency said in the statement.

The percentage of the sun obscured by the moon will be ... [More]

Enjoy the magnificent natural phenomena!

Desperate Boardwives Chapter 4

Chapter 4: 4 Minutes To Save The World

Ella: Oh dear! What a big mess! And all that happened when I'm not here? Jeez, how much fun did I exactly miss?

Ella is like a mega-bitch. Everyone in the school doesn't like to mess with her. She complains about the slightest thing and she thinks of herself as a diva. After all, she is the discipline teacher's daughter, who dares to find fault with her?

Dylan: Right on time, Ella. This Pharell came out all of a sudden and started scolding me for no reasons.

Ella: Oh really? Is that true, Pharell?

Pharell: Ya right. Oh my gosh, how careless of me! I forgot that Dylan's like ur right-hand man! Sorry for making a fool out of him!!!

Dylan: You b... *Ella put her hand on Dylan's shoulder and interrupted*

Ella: It's ok. No harm playing with him for a while. After all, you librarians have always envied the superior BOD. You guys just couldn't stand the fact that you're inferior to us.

Chen: Don't you bring BOL into this conversation..

Pharell: Let her. I wanna see what she's got.

Ella: Now look who's talking! It's the leader of the rebellion! Wow, how nice of you, turning Merkyl from hero to zero.

Pharell: Now now, let's not put the blame on Chen. After all, Dylan is the one that went to Merkyl's place to discuss something with him just now.

Ella: Now you're putting the blame on dear Dylan? Now that's nasty of you. Oh well, what else can you expect from a fellow librarian?

Dylan: Yes, that's like totally true. Merkyl, let us hear what you think.

Everyone turned their head towards Merkyl. All this while when they were arguing, he was merely sitting there watching the show. He really didn't know what to do. Chen might have been his good friend, but what Dylan said sounds too real. Finally, he opened his mouth to voice his opinion.

Merkyl: I think... I think.... I agree with what Dylan said.. After all, Chen has been pretty cunning in front of me...

Everyone in the canteen is bewildered. They just couldn't believe that Merkyl is so easily influenced.

Pharell: Merkyl, how could you? You do know this is all a plot right?

Merkyl: ....

Chen: It's no use. He's been controlled by them. Let's go. No point staying here for nothing.

Ella: Wait, going so soon?

Chen: Leave us alone, bitch.

Ella: Well, never. Fine, I'll let you off. If...

Chen: Spill it out.
Ella: If you can win me in my duties later. And I mean win perfectly. It's just you and me, 1v1.

Mika: Oh come on. How childish can you ge....

Chen: Bring it on.

Shane: Don't do it Chen. Both you and I knows that it's an unfair game.

Ella: What? Trying to chicken out? Well, I can excuse you, since you're a baby.

Chen: I SAID BRING IT ON.

Ella: That's the spirit. Dylan, Mika and Shane will be the judges. After all, I want to win you fair and square.

Chen: Totally fine with me.

Ella: That's enough talking. Let's go to our duty posts. I now declare the start of the battle.

And with that said, the bell rings in an abnormal tone, as if it is foreshadowing an unavoidable crisis among the board members in the school. Everyone heads to their duty post, but with two special ones. One with the burning desire to win the other, one with the sadist mind to torture the other.

What will be the result of the showdown? Will Chen fall in the hands of Ella? And whose side will the judges be on? Stay tuned for the next chapter, Chapter 5: Enter the Serpentine.

Desperate Boardwives Chapter 3

Before I begin, I can't help it but to stress once again that this series is 70% fiction and the 30% is based on some real life encounters. So PLEASE do not simply guess who is who in the comment box, cos this will raise unneccesary problems with this blog. I mean, if you've been attending school for the past 10 months you can have a rough idea who is who. Haiz. Nuff said, let the Funhouse begin.

Chapter 3: Funhouse

It is 15 minutes before recess, and the board members are allowed to come out early. As usual, the board was never a single family. Within this Board Of Disciplinarians, chaos and trouble never rests. There isn't a single day where you wouldn't hear stories about the Board. The Board Of Prefects will always think that they are superior to the other boards, thus causing other boards' hostility towards them.

It is Merkyl's 1st day as a Prefect, and he doesn't want a bad duty on his 1st day. He sat at the usual table, the one where most Form 4's sit as if they own the table. Just as he put down his plate of rice, he heard a sudden maniacal laughter, one that sends chills down his spine. He immediately recognised that laughter. Only one person in the school is capable of making such eerie laughter, and it's non other than Pharell, a librarian. Pharell is not the type of person anyone wanna mess with, for hidden beneath his deceiving smile is a witty yet cunning personality.

Pharell: Oh, look who is it. It's our newly promoted Prefect, Merkyl!

Merkyl: Hi everyone!!

Pharell: Guys, don't you think that badge is a little too bright? Ooops, bitchy me.

Merkyl dare not retaliate, instead settling with a forceful smile. He takes a glance at everyone around the table and he saw the usual faces. There's Raj, a Break Monitor who is known for his notorious sucking-up. And there's Mika, a fellow prefect who is held in high regard by his friends. Next to him is Shane, his classmate who is a prefect and very hardworking as well. And last but not least, the one mentioned by Dylan, Chen.

Chen: Hey Merkyl!

Merkyl: *thinking to himself* I better not answer him. He's going to find fault with me for sure.

Chen: *feels ignored* Hellooo Merkyl??

Merkyl: Hey...Hey..

Chen: *thinking to himself* Something is definitely wrong, he's unusually cold to me. Better ask him what's the matter.

Just as Chen was about to ask Merkyl what's the matter, Dylan interrupted.

Dylan: Hey Chen. Acting so fast already.

Chen: What? Acting what?

Dylan: Don't act dumb, Chen. Both you and I clearly knows what's your 'noble' intention.

Chen: I really don't understand what are you talking about!

Dylan: If you're a man, admit what you've done. I told Merkyl everything, so there's no way you can harm him now.

Chen: So it was you! Merkyl listen! I did not...

Merkyl: Shut up and let me finish my breakfast! Don't act all good in front of me.

Raj: Hey hey, stop fighting.

Dylan: This is our fight, stay out of it.

Raj: *stunned*

Mika: Hey hey. Let's not get all unfriendly here. We only have 4 more....

Dylan: I said STAY Out Of It!

Pharell: Stop.

Everyone suddenly stopped. They realised that they have unitentionally brought Pharell into the fight, and that's not good.

Pharell: Can't you guys just act maturely and finish your breakfast?

Dylan: Pharell, it's the same to you. Stay out...

Pharell: *Stands up and walks towards Dylan* Well well, if it isn't my dearest friend Dylan!

What's the whole commotion about? What's with this furious aura?

Chen: Pharell, they're blaming me for something I did not do!

Pharell: I know. Let me settle for you.

Pharell: Dylan, both of us knows very well who's the one behind everything. What's the need of you bringing this matter up suddenly? Auspicious date huh?

Mika: Yeah, out of all days, why today?

Dylan: *sweating* What..What do you mean? I did not influence Merkyl...

Pharell: Since when did anyone mentioned anything about Merkyl? Oh. 'Siapa yang makan cili, dialah yang rasa pedasnya.'

Dylan: You son-of-a-bitch!

Dylan rolled his palm into a fist, and is about to punch Pharell in the stomach when suddenly...

Ella: Hey, mind if I join in the fun?

Everyone: *stops and stares at Ella, Dylan stopped immediately*

Ella: My oh my. What's with the fist and all? Come, allow me to settle the misunderstanding here =)

Ella finally reaches the canteen just in time to see the commotion. What is so fearful about Ella that makes everyone stop in their tracks? Who is Pharell supporting actually? Will Merkyl ever escape the big trap he is in right now? Up next, Chapter 4: 4 Minutes to Save The World.

(Haha... Finally revealed myself)

Desperate Boardwives Chapter 2

Chapter 2:Added Involvement

A:Let's execute our plan.

B: Urm you sure? I mean, isn't it better to stay and wait...

A:FINE. If you're too cowardly, I shall start the plan myself.

A stands up and head towards Merkyl, ignoring B's advice. Merkyl suddenly feel a warm grasp on him shoulder and turns his head towards that direction. It's non other than Dylan, his good friend and ex-BOBM colleague.

Merkyl: Hey Dylan. Anything I can help you with?

Dylan: Nah, just congratulating you on your promotion.

Merkyl: *shocked* But,but, how did you know that I...

Dylan: Look, I have something more important to tell you than this petty issue. Do you know that in the eyes of the teachers, you have the potential to be the Chairman of BOBM?

Merkyl: How did you know all these?

Dylan: Let's just say I have reliable sources. And guess what, a few BOP members are not happy with the attention you're getting. And the leader of that is non other than Chen.

Merkyl: WHAT? But I taught that Chen was the one that supported me to take the BOP interview..Oh my gosh, I'm so lost.

Dylan: That's his whole plan. He wanted you to come to BOP so that you will not get nominated for vice-chairman in BOBM. To further ensure his success in eliminating you, he purposely asked you to join BOP. This way, he will eliminate you from any posts.

completely.

Merkyl: *Near to breaking down* What do I do now? What do I do now?

Dylan: Don't worry. From now onwards, I will take care of you in BOP. I won't let anyone bully you anymore.

Merkyl: Thank you so much Dylan. Thank you.

Dylan: *Thinking to himself* (This is easier than I thought. Now my plan will go much more smoothly.)

In another class, a fellow prefect is talking to Ella, a power-crazed newly appointed prefect vying for the Lady Head Prefect post.

C: Let's see. Now that Dylan has controlled Merkyl, we will need to push you up for the post. My sought-after utopic board is within my grasp now.

Ella: But, don't you think that they will suspect something? I mean, I just joined BOP and I'm going for the top post?

C: Don't worry. I have too many tools in my control. Remember Ritchie? That dumb fool is still updating me with news through SMS everyday. Nothing will happen, relax.

Ella: *looks at watch* Oh lookie. It's 9.25 already. Let's go for duty now. The funhouse will start soon.

Oh no. It seems that Merkyl has listened to Dylan completely. Worst still, a new villain appears, ceodenamed C. And just how bitchy is this Ella? You guys can't do much now. Wait till Chapter 3: Funhouse to see what happens next.

Lasallian Day Of Prayers for Peace

Just yesterday, on the Speech Day, the members of Lasallian Day Of Prayers for Peace team, as know as the LDOPP team make their first move on the project. They created a donation raising for these poor children around the world, suffering and hoping for hands to hold them and help them. Therefore, peoples around the school were very kind and willingly to donate for these children.

If you have no idea what is LDOPP all about, here are some articles you can check it out here:

The Lasallian Day of Prayers for Peace, or LDOPP, was initiated in Rome a couple of years ago by a group of Lasallian Youth.

The purpose of LDOPP is to be in solidarity through prayer with those who live in conflict, this being in line with our Lasallian spirituality of being one with the last, lost and the least.

This year marks the 3rd installment of LDOPP in Malaysia, and our theme for 2009 is 'The War on Children'. This brings our focus...[more]

Other than donation, there are going to be some events going on to help to raise awareness towards those children. Therefore, stay alert to your surrounding and support them, the children.

Desperate Boardwives

Hey guys =)

After a 2-year hiatus I'm back to writing short stories on our school life. Most of the stories are based on real life situations, but I will of course change the names to prevent people from finding fault with me in school. I think even after I change the names, you will still be able to know who it is, given the natural gift of 'kaypohness' among Xavierians. After all, 'siapa yang makan cili, dia yang rasa pedasnya'. Oh, if you think the story sucks, don't hesitate to comment on it, because I wrote this in 15 minutes, so alot of things may not be fully explained yet. Kk, enough talking, let the story begins.

Chapter 1: Involvement

It was another normal June morning at school. Well, normal as in nothing extraordinary happened. Merkyl , a newly-appointed prefect, was paying full attention in his Physics class. He never failed to secure a place in the Top 5 list in the school, and he was not just any ordinary nerd. He's smart, quite good-looking, quite athletic and quite famous in school. Not to say quite, perhaps REALLY famous in school. Not originally selected to be a prefect, he finally got the chance he deserved when a fellow prefect migrated to Zimbabwe. Some might say he was just a replacement, but to me, I think he totally deserves it. But was it a right choice at the first place, joining the notorious BOP?

Just as I was daydreaming and writing this entry, a knock could be heard on the door. Well well well, if it was non other than his best buddy from the next class, Eddie. He talked with Merkyl outside the class for around 2 minutes, and Merkyl's facial expressions can be seen changing from =) to =( . I wondered what speech was that, changing his expression. I asked him to come over to my table and tell me what happened. After that, Merkyl sat beside me and told me something.

"Board's election is nearing, and I've been short-listed to be a chairman".

At the same time, just a few tables back, two bespectacled students can be seen whispering to each other secretly, as if they were planning a diabolical plan. Who knows? Maybe they are...

A: I think Merkyl knew he got short-listed.

B: Yes, I think Eddie told him. What should we do now that he knows about it?

A: Well, it's not a big deal. I guess it'll be a 'friendly' competition then?

B: Curse that Eddie. Should we do something about him for that big mouth of his?

A: No, let him be. After all, everything is going well according to my plan...

What is the diabolical plan about? Who is A and B? What will they do to Eddie and Merkyl? Why is the election so important to all of them? Stay tuned for Chapter 2:Added Involvement.
