Wie Geht's Everyone!

Everyone or should I say almost everyone would ask me "Wo Bist Du Denn Gewesen? " or in plain English "Where Have You Been?". Let's just say that I was versteckt sich hinter dem schatten. I've been unfair to most of my partners-in-crime since I keep reminding them to update their rockets, which I didn't. Entchuldigung guys. Now here I am! Unfortunately I don't have anything thrilling or exciting to be posted here, yet. Just bear with me along the way.

Gratefully I'm well and still very much the same person. Everyone has already started the journey that could determine their future, including my Vettern. No worries! I'm already on my way.

I was supposed to be the first among the vettern to leave this city. Turns out I'm the last person to do so. Wishing them the best in everything. I do hope that they realise that their parents are extremely proud of them. Believe me, I saw everything behind the scenes but I didn't tell them because I don't want to ruin anything. All the best, face any challenges along the way without any doubts, never stoop down to uncivilised people's level because you guys are a million times better than them.

I know I rarely say this but here goes. Ich liebe dich, vettern and everyone! Together we make everyone especially our parents and family proud and be role-models to our siblings and everybody. I can assure that we'll in this situation when we meet up again in the future:

Vettern and I in the future.

Partners-in-crime and I in the future.

Leap of  elation

Some of you might be wondering about certain foreign words which I used in the previous paragraphs. I've been using Deutsch to communicate with one of my partners-in-crime on some social network lately. Try 

for faster results unless you possess

or something similar. Unfortunately, not offending Google or anything,but I realised that some phrases/sentences are translated directly. That's when you encounter difficulties in figuring out the real meaning of the phrase or sentence.

I guess I'll stop here for now. Stay tuned for more updates and etc.
Auf Wiedersehen! 

p.s I still wonder why am I very optimistic. That's good, right?
p.p.s To LS0801( my cartoon-loving buddy) and everyone else, enjoy this short-film from Pixar.

Today. Version 2.0

Today was the day that I was suppose to take the one-way flight to Labuan. But, I changed my decision to accept MARA scholarship and stay in this city for less than 2 months.I'm guilty that Mom had to waste RM 1.1K for the air tickets to Labuan, since it's booked online so the tickets couldn't be cancelled. I'm deeply sorry Mom. I'll make it up to you one day.

Yesterday, went to STS Band Concert 2011 Day 1 with the whole family. Sat among the front rows, Didn't meet anyone. Not offending anybody, but I like (sort of) that kind of situation. I wanted to go again tonight but I didn't, due to some reasons; especially I already watched the concert! Haha!
Sorry for the low quality of images and video. I haven't posses proper gadgets for that purpose.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish LS0801 and SA0703 all the best in everything, endure and enjoy orientation week, prove that you deserve to be there, face any challenges, update your blogs, take care and FIGHTING!!

p.s I guess I'll continue my so-called speech later since I'm in a hurry. Sorry for any grammar mistakes.

Today. Version 1.0

Before I start with this post,I would like to list out the cast members for the day. Please be noted that names/identities will be hidden and some parts of the real story will not be revealed for safety reasons.So, to the 3 kids involved, you guys know what's happening. To the others, you will have to bear with me for a while,if you're smart enough, I'm sure that you'll be able to crack up these codes. Do feel free to ask me if anyone wants the full coverage of the story. =D

Cast:
Main Character: JJ
Driver/ Supporting Actor 1: LS
Supporting Actor 2: NZ
Supporting Actor 3: Myself

Let's just go straight to the point.

LS picked me up at My casa around 0910hrs after fetching NZ. We went straight to the airport to bid JJ farewell. JJ's leaving to further JJ's studies at a different state. Therefore, we arrived around 1000hrs. Went around the interior of the airport then settled down at the other side of the waiting area. After enjoyed a few conversations, we decided to search for JJ. Went to the main waiting area and found JJ who was still checking-in the luggage. The 3 of us became

due to our so-called spy attitudes. We hid ourselves behind the seats and then followed JJ (without her consent) from behind after JJ settled the baggage. Luckily, JJ didn't realise our presence, or else it would've been a give-away.The 3 spy kids followed JJ until ground floor. Turns out that JJ was going to have breakfast. Hence, we decided not to bug JJ and JJ's family and have breakfast somewhere else.

I bought the other 2 kids some take-away food but in the end we finished the food at that place. I guess everyone was hungry after becoming spies. Went to the ground floor again and NZ went to check whether JJ and family were still having their meal. Again, we sat at the waiting area nearby and continued our other pack of food. Right after finishing the food, we saw JJ coming. So, the other 2 managed to hide behind the seats, JJ's sibling saw me, so I had to wave, I didn't want to be impolite. JJ sat down with us and we had more conversations.

After a few hundred thousand seconds, JJ got a call from her parent. We sent JJ to the Departure Hall. Took some photos together using NZ's mobile phone. After bidding farewell to JJ, LS and I immediately ran to the Viewing Area to wave at JJ.

The view from the Viewing Area

Left the airport around 1200hrs. LS drove us to some bakery to buy a cake for our teacher. Then went to school to give it to the teacher. Sadly, we didn't manage to meet up with the other teachers since they left early due to the school's teachers' day celebration which ended around 1115 hrs. LS ran an errand and sent NZ and I back home.

To JJ, all the best in everything, behave yourself, do update your blog and share your experiences, survive orientation week and prove that you deserve to be there. Fighting!!

I wish RA0625, HJ0316, AB0221, AA0331, SA0703, NS0514 and the others who I didn't mention were at the airport too! JJ sent JJ's regards to everyone!

-Intermission-
Around 0810hrs, my aunt phoned me to check for MARA PILN 2011 scholarship results. I was about to procrastinate but then I realised it was impolite to do so. So, I switched on Dad's PC and visited MARA's website. Typed my IC number and closed my eyes. I didn't dare to look and at the same time praying. After a few seconds I gained all my strength and confidence to open my eyes and face the music.I took a peak on the monitor and managed to take a glance at some details and I went to the next room to get Mom. Gratefully, I got good news! After reading the details, I asked her whether I'm going to Labuan for the Matriculation Programme. Mom said no need. Hence, I'm staying! Not going anywhere far yet.

Back to the story.

D1&D2 left home around 0800hrs to fetch S2&S3 at their homes respectively. The meeting point was at S4's house. D2 and S3 arrived later than the other two. All of the 4 kids waited for S4. Turns out that S4 had just woke up after an hour's sleep. S4 stayed up all night to bake. While waiting, the 4 kids entertained themselves with life updates of themselves and their friends. After the long wait S4's mom served us some cakes baked by S4 for breakfast. D2 announced to the others about MARA scholarship results. Gratefully D2 received good news.

Around 0930hrs they left for D1's farm in 2 vehicles and reached the destination. Parked the vehicles and they met D1's parents. They enjoyed D1's home interior for a while. S2,S3,S4 and D2/S5 got very excited and giddy since most of them are city kids and they hardly get opportunities to experience the environment in the countryside.

Next, they insisted D1 to bring them on a tour around the farm. D1 brought the others to visit the goats. D1 didn't dare to open the gates so they walked around the farm while waiting for D1's dad. Finally they visited the goats.

Subsequently spending time with the goats, they proceeded to see some plants.

Not long after that, they went back to D1's casa for brunch. Everyone enjoyed the delicious meal and the fresh coconut drink prepared by D1's parents. Then, they settled down for a while, had conversations and enjoyed the cool breeze. After a few thousand minutes D1 brought everyone for a ride. S2 drove them to some village and they visited some beach. to D2, that was one of the most depressing beaches ever. Definitely not the perfect spot for group dates. Don't believe D2? See for yourself.

Later, D1 drove them back to D1's casa. D2 decided not to leave yet when D1 mentioned that the goats were going to be set free for a period of time. So, they decided to relax and enjoy the view, the cool wind and the snacks.

Before leaving S2 suggested that they should visit the beach. D1 drove them. The view was super-incredible. Unfortunately, D1 left one of D1's slippers at the casa. Something happened before they left. S2 managed to find someone else's slipper lying on the beach for D1 to use temporarily.

Everyone spent approximately 15 minutes to enjoy the view, the heat and more and left the beach at 1500hrs. Thanked D1's parents for everything and bid them farewell. D2 drove S4,S2 and S3 back home safely. The day would've been better with R0625, H0316, A0221,L0801,S0703 and the others whom I didn't mention.

The Moment Has Arrived. Part 6

I'm very grateful. 

Updates.

Guten Tag everyone! I feel great. Been sleeping like a baby since I made my decision regarding the choices I had (ref. previous post). Summary:

- Decided to take the matriculation programme in Labuan. Registration day is on the 23rd. I'll be leaving for Labuan on the 21st.

-Postponed National Service until I graduate or something like that. They rejected me for the 1st batch, so I did the same thing to them for the 2nd batch. fair and square. A win-win situation. Went to the PLKN office on the 14th floor at Sultan Iskandar building  yesterday to send the form in order to postpone National Service. Gratefully, that matter is settled. Hence, I will not be at the civic centre next Monday for the registration and take the flight to Selangor. Yay and at the same time, Bummer.

-Declined the offer from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). 3 years of diploma in Civil Engineering is too long for me.


Basically I feel like this:

I'm grateful. Whoop-dee-doo!

Auf Wiedersehen!
p.s I'll try to post something fun and exciting since my latest posts are about serious matters.
p.p.s If possible, I would like to meet every one of my partners-in-crimes before everyone goes their own separate ways.

Which Should I Choose?

I'm sure most of the kids of my age are busy with the preparations for Form 6, PSD/JPA scholarship interview results, local universities intake, matriculation, national service, etc.
Been hanging out in my lair lately, thinking about the choices between:

National Service

OR

Local Matriculation Programme

OR

Local University

as my backup plan.

I pray that I'll be able to get the MARA PILN 2011 scholarship. The problem I encounter is the deadline between the above choices are quite near with one another and I can't look down on any of them since these golden opportunities offered to me are equally incredible. 

As a lesson to everyone including myself; ALWAYS be grateful with everything we have and also things offered to us because others do not have the same fate with us. (Again, not offending anyone or bragging; never underestimate or diss others). It's hard being among the top students and vice versa. The reason why: top students encounter problems in making the right choices for their future whereas the others are unable to make choices and they will have to settle down with the only things they have.

So, plan your future wisely so you'll never regret with the decision you've had made, be meticulous; never take things lightly and better work hard now and you'll enjoy your success one day.

I haven't give any reply to any of the offers above but I'll have to make up my mind sooner since there's a lot of things to be settled; air tickets, daily essentials, forms to be completed, etc. I shall go back to my lair to analyse the pros and cons of the 3 choices. 

The Road Not Taken- Robert Frost


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

I remember studying this poem during English a couple of years ago. I do hope and pray that everyone and I make the right decision in life.

I wouldn't want this to happen to me or everyone else

Wishing the best for everything in life to everyone. Hwaiting! Again I wonder why I have this optimistic side in me all the time. I'm grateful for that.

p.s Some of you may think that I'm overreacting or something and the choices I have are so-called quite simple, well, that's your problem. To me, it's complicated since there's a lot of details that should be taken for consideration. Then again, I might be feeling overwhelmed by this situation.

The Moment Has Arrived. Part 5

p.s I dislike making choices but I will have to make that precise choice that could change my future.

One Of The Best Days Ever! Part 4

Before I start with this post,I would like to list out the cast members for the day. Please be noted that names/identities will be hidden and some parts of the real story will not be revealed for safety reasons.So, to the 6 kids involved, you guys know what's happening. To the others, you will have to bear with me for a while,if you're smart enough, I'm sure that you'll be able to crack up these codes. Do feel free to ask me if anyone wants the full coverage of the story. =D

Cast:

Director/ Main Idea: RA

Driver/ Supporting Actor #1: AM/AA

Victim: JJ

Driver/Supporting Actor #2: LS

Supporting Actor #3: AB

Supporting Actor #4: FJ

Foreword: I'm grateful that everything went well and everyone had a splendid time today.

AM/AA left the house around 0920hrs to pick up RA. Then they went to AB's and JJ"s house. At the same time they had LS and FJ on standby. On the way RA persuaded JJ to make videos on AM/AA's laptop. With out JJ's consent, AA/AM managed to catch the glimpse of LS's vehicle and started tailgating few thousand centimetres back with another vehicle in front of AM/AA, hoping that JJ wouldn't realise anything. Unfortunately, when reaching a traffic light, the vehicle in front suddenly took a left turn, causing LS's vehicle to be in sight. AM/AA slowed down, hoping that the traffic light would turn green but sadly it didn't.

JJ then realise LS's vehicle and then RA, AB and AM/AA started making assumptions in order to cover things up. They were denying that LS was the driver, at the same time they said the opposite. Things got more obvious when both vehicles went the same way. So everyone was assured that LS was in the vehicle. Then they started making more assumptions regarding the person sitting next to LS. Upon their arrival at the destination, LS went in the wrong way, AM/AA went in the opposite way causing the person next to LS to be revealed. AB, RA and AM/AA was "thrilled" to see FJ riding with LS. Both vehicles were parked and few moments later secrets were revealed.

Went into the place and decided to go kayaking.

AM/AA and LS shared a 3-seater kayak. Both of them were unexperienced (maybe) so they had trouble navigating the kayak but they did get the hang of it, eventually. FJ joined them and they took turns to row the kayak since they were only 2 oars. Later then AB, JJ and RA joined in; AB with a single kayak while JJ and RA took the 2-seater kayak. While having fun, suddenly there was downpour but they continued kayaking. Since the 3-seater kayak went in first so it was the first to go out. AM/AA, FJ and LS ended their kayaking session earlier than the other 3. After that, FJ and LS realised that AM/AA was wearing the life-jacket for kids. AM/AA didn't mind at all since the other life-jackets were soggy and wet but the one AM/AA chose was clean and appeared to be new.

Gratefully neither one of them fell into the water. After the others ended their session, everyone dried up in front of a massive fan and managed to record a video in front of it.

Subsequently, everyone agreed to proceed to go to the beach which was located at the other side of the city. So, to be fair, RA joined FJ in LS's vehicle while AM/AA drove with JJ and AB as the passengers. The roads to the beach were remade, so AM/AA drove cautiously in order to get use to the new environment.

Long new roads...

Reached the beach around 1320hrs and had a wonderful picnic.

Serenity and tranquility

Took photos, walked along quarter of the beach, enjoyed the beautiful scenery (minus the part where stuff that shouldn't be on the beach were present), received extra Vitamin-D from the sun, made "sandcastles", fake-nap, sunbathed etc. Left the beach around 1530hrs. LS drove FJ home while AM/AA sent JJ, AB to their homes and RA to the pick-up point safely.

I would like to thank everyone for making today's plan a success and for everything. Definitely one of the best days ever. It could've been better if we had more time to prepare and more guests at today's event, but hey, something is way better than nothing at all. XDDD
