Leap.

So, here I am, among billions of people worldwide,  exaggerating (?)  emphasizing the significance of today, the 29th day of February.

Thank you 29/2, or else it would be Day 1 of le mid term examinations(which commences tomorrow instead) and also J Beiber's 18th birthday (it's not that I know anything about that)

Happy birthday 29/2 babies. Happy birthday in advance for next year, next next year and next next next year.

One of le me friends admitted that they are ignorant and realized it's 29/2 7 hours before the day ended. I told them it was okay to do so. I'm sure that they have more important things to deal with rather than realizing it's 29/2. But still, they are ignorant. They can anticipate the next 4 years for 29/2/2016.
I told them that I'll check in with them in the next 4 years, whether they are aware of 29/2.
I thing I overuse 29/2 in this post.

I should've boarded the school bus back to le residential college at 1630hrs or later. Oh, well. maybe next time? Maybe tomorrow? I wonder..

I'll have to stop here. Going to continue to prepare self for le exams.
Tomorrow will be sitting for USPH21: Physics and USEL 23: Speech Communication (theory part)
The day after, USCH21: Chemistry and CTIS20: Islamic Studies.

Thank you 29/2 for making my birthday fall on a Sunday instead of a Saturday, which makes not much of a difference.

Hope to see/meet you guys (virtually, of there's anyone out there) during the weekends!

Farewell February 2012. Thank you for the awesome 29 days. May you always be in my memories.

Response.

Hey there, it's been a while. I've been occupied with more important tasks lately. I'm sorry if I might disappoint you for not updating le blog. Like I always say, there's a lot of things happening whenever I'm offline. But that doesn't really bother me that much compared to le responsibilities that I have.

First things first, Happy belated 18th birthday to le junior/friend( you know who you are). Sorry for not having the time even to send you a birthday message or anything like that. All the best in life and may all your hard work pay off, eventually.

To le friend, who's guard was down during le video presentation. I am very sorry for what I did. I have no idea why on Earth I did that to you. I should've let you watch le video first but I was a bit late (than usual) to school today. I just hope that we can still be good friends. But you do have the rights to despise me for that and other things that I've did.

Le new friend, when can we wave and smile to each other again. I'm glad you enjoyed le camp during the weekends. If only I was there with you and le others, like I did last 2 weeks.

To le classmate, thank you for being  there with me to finish le video for le presentation. I'm sorry if I'm such a nuisance. That's me. Sometimes.

Awesome partners-in-crime: hey guys! it's been a long time. Looking forward to meet everyone. Take care and all the best in your studies.

Beloved readers, THANK YOU, for all of your support. It really means a lot to me. You motivate me to remember about all of you and also this blog.

Worth the Wait.

Basically I wasted 1 day. Le 10 am class was cancelled. Le Physics class at 2pm was cancelled too. Even Kopln was cancelled. I was happy enough that I waited 30 minutes until I decided to head back to le residential college. Managed to ride the bus with le friends in INTEC, who were excited to see me. I was touched with that fact. The end.

I do despise myself for ending posts abruptly. Sorry.

Turning Point: The passage above was part of the subject I wanted to emphasize on.

I'm glad that I wore le checkered shirt today. It feels good when you go with the flow of le fashion trend. 

Omega.

First things first. Happy birthday to le partner-in-crime! Behave well.
Thank you for choosing and letting me spend time on le birthday, partially. It means a lot to me.

That happens to me most of the time, that's why I appreciate people even though I'm the last person that may come to their minds. It may sound pathetic but at least people are still sane to remember me.
I'm talking in general, not offending anyone or anything.

Le School Bus.

 Finally I have an awesome (so-called) topic/subject to share.

It's about le bus(es) of le me school. I must not mention it fully in case the administration might fine me or anything like that.

It's just my opinion.

So, yeah. I go to school (college) by bus. The ride only takes about 5 minutes or so.
If classes starts at 0800hrs, I usually catch the first bus in the morning, at 0645hrs, sometimes earlier than that.
I prefer to be early and eschew myself from queuing up during peak hours i.e 0700hrs-0800hrs.

Everyday, the bus service operation starts at 0645hrs until 0945hrs (sometimes 0930hrs). During that 3-hour period, I can say that the buses are predictable, they will wait for us at the bus stop outside the residential colleges and they are available every 15-30minutes.. From 1000hrs-1200hrs, there's no bus since le driver are having their break.
Bus service operation resumes at 1200hrs. from 12pm-3pm the buses will send us back to the bus stop. Trips from school after 3pm will definitely be hassle as the drivers will drop students at the nearby petrol stations. We will have to walk for about 200m or less back to le residential college.

Peak hours for the afternoon bus service session is at 12pm-1pm. After that, you would definitely spend your precious time waiting in the bus for more than 30 minutes, unless the bus is full, only then it will start moving. So, don't expect any frequent bus trips in the afternoon.

Another thing, about the afternoon buses, they are super unexpected. Whenever you wait at le bus stop, they'll taxi at the petrol station. Whenever we are willingly to walk all the way to the petrol station, surprisingly (not that surprising) they'll go in and taxi at the bus stop instead.

I heard that the bus service is until 2300hrs. Unfortunately I can't give any light on that since the last bus that I usually catch is around 1800hrs.

Why on Earth did I ramble about le school bus today?

The story begins...

Today, One Monday morning, I took the first bus. After 20 minutes of waiting for the students to enter the bus, the bus left for school. Lately, buses before 0800hrs will taxi at the main road and we have to walk more than thousands of centimeters to our classes. I don't know why. Last semester, early buses will taxi at a housing area nearby.  Surprisingly, the bus driver drove us to the bus parking area instead. I was glad that I could save about a hundred steps to class.

Class ended at 1200hrs. I had to wait for about an hour for le class' photo shoot. As I was about to leave the set, the bus drove by. All I could do was stop and stare. SO, with a heavy heart I went to the bus parking area and took a nap for 30 minutes while waiting for the bus to move.

I planned to catch the 3pm bus since I wanted to attend le group's event: Dodgeball. I missed le 3pm bus due some circumstances. Then I waited at le pagoda and did some homework for the 3.30pm bus. As 3.30pm was about to arrive, I saw a group of medicine students approaching le gates of le residential college. All of a sudden it came to me. The bus dropped them at the petrol, station because it can't enter due to the stalls set up for Monday's pasar malam.

Thus, I packed my things and headed for the petrol station. I knew I had to waste another 30 minutes. I sat at the footpath like an idiot not knowing what to do. I didn't dare to continue le homework, in case le bus magically appeared and decided to taxi at another petrol station nearby ( there are 3 petrol stations, next to one another).

 After le dodgeball game, I boarded le 1800hrs bus. Another 3 friends from ADFP placed their bags and reserved themselves seats and went off for an important task. Those who boarded the bus after that, (after the last back seat was taken, the ones who had to stand throughout le journey) are the ones who knows me. They kept asking whether the seat next to me was taken. One of them even attempted to sit and that person was le me new friend. New friend was super excited to see me and wanted to sit next to me. With a heavy heart, I told new friend that le seat was taken. Immediately after I said that, I saw a tremendous change in le facial expression. Great, Now new friend despise me.

I think that's enough highlights, I wouldn't want to elaborate events after I politely didn't accept le new friend's request.

Le new friend, if you are reading this (as if)

All I can say for now is sorry.

Le new friend, I am sorry for not accepting your request to sit next to me in the bus.
 Maybe some other day? Tomorrow? Hmmm...

Just saying.

 I feel that I need to share this, despite the fact that I maybe the last person to realize these.

Full credits to the creators/designers/masterminds

Now.

To be frank, I ran out of ideas to name this post.
I'm here to announce that I survived le camp. I'll update more on that matter later on. I have school tomorrow everyone knows that.

Pre Soul-Searching Journey.

So, I'm off to a motivational camp later on. I'm proud to announce that I'm one of le participants.

Went to the Parents-Lecturers' Day in INTEC. I was quite touched when I knew many people cared about me. Somehow it's like a wake-up call.

Yes, you may give me the "duh" or "whatever loser" look.

I'm just too ignorant and impassive to realize that. I never bother with matters of the heart.

Therefore, I'm willing to attend le camp, with various goals.

I do hope we can anticipate the brand new me, in the next 72 hours.

For now, I feel weird, since I never feel like this before (I may experience this feeling but as usual, I brush it off immediately) What's wrong with me? I'm going through puberty. I'm a late bloomer.


We'll just have to wait and find out later on. 
 

Guardian Angel.

My guardian angel is around. They came all the way from over the seas for tomorrow's event. I was grateful that I get to spend time with them, especially for dinner. They even bought me some pastries and a new pair of hiking boots as I'm away for another camp tomorrow afternoon. I couldn't show my feeling since I'm impassive all the time, I can say that I got the genes from my guardian angel.

Just pray that I'll survive and make my way back to Shah Alam later on.
If anything happens, just keep calm whenever necessary.

A Tuesday.

I just got back from Subang Jaya, for a video shoot session.

Today was fun.

Managed to grab lunch with a good friend of mine, even though it was for a while.

Most of le ADFP kids were wearing checkered shirts today. After a long time I didn't feel left out.

Went straight to Subang after class ended at 1600hrs. Thank you, le driver for driving us around and also providing us the set and equipments for the video shoot.

The Blogger passed le D-Test. I iz proud, I can have another new driver. Tee hee.


I observed some events today  but I'm trying my best not to open my mouth about that matter. It's not good to gossip. It may hurt other people's feelings. You wouldn't want to experience that feeling when someone else does that to you too, right?

Phrases.

All the best to le 11 speakers from Denver Spring 2012 for tomorrow's informative speech presentation.

All the best  to all A-Levels Biology test-takers for tomorrow's test. It's your thing, you guys can do it!

All the best to all future drivers for tomorrow's D-Test. Don't mess up, you might not want to repeat (almost) the whole process all over again since you've prepared for the test for quite some time.


I remembered watching the 1st season of Jonas on Disney Channel. I was into this song  and tried to play it by ear on the piano, right after the episode ended. I don't mean anything, just the music.
P.s I randomly selected the video, I didn't watched it.

Pure Bloggers.com?

I've never heard of this site before.

I received an invitation via e-mail. I think I'll let this one slide. I'm not that desperate to find more readers or anything. If there's more readers, I welcome you warm-kindheartedly to this pedestrian,sometimes mundane blog. So far, up to this point, I'm grateful with everything I have.

Updates+Rants.

I wasted about 90 minutes to share this post. I was distracted with the 2 previous posts. I lost some of my blogging mojo after not blogging for a few days.  I'm unsure whether I should continue with this post since I have tons to do and school's tomorrow. We'll see after this.

As stated in the previous previous post that I was away for camp, which was held just across the road during the weekend.

We, the INTEC kids (from one awesome club) organized this camp for le secondary school kids from a school nearby. Participants are le form 3 and le form 5 kids.

It was a blast. I really had fun. I made new friends, both from the club members and also le school kids.

With a heavy heart, I'll have to stop now. There's serious business to deal with. I know, this may be a spoiler to everyone anyone who anticipated the whole post (yeah, right).

Too bad, I didn't get to rant. Well, there's always some other time.

Birthday Present.

I made a birthday present for le blog. Yup, you've guessed it, a totally brand new look (almost).

Back then it was:

Now:

Happy Birthday!

Actually it's Happy belated 1st Birthday Reality VS Imagination!
I can't believe that it has been a year since I decided to join the Blogger world. It seems like it was 366 day ago (it was).

I have to apologize since I was supposed (planned to) update this blog yesterday in conjunction with this blog's first birthday but I was away for a camp.

 Courtesy from Google Images.

Happy Birthday, looking forward for another awesome 366 days ahead!

Random Rants.

I wanted to ask all you Bloggers out there (you know who you are)- Where have you been?
Then I'll reply myself, "Oh, yeah. School, college and work. I forgot. Sorry"

Forever alone.

I iz bored at the moment. I actually, never mind.

Me no like it if certain people imitate almost everything I do. It's very annoying. I'm a person, a normal kid. I'm no leader or superstar, I no need any posse. I love me and my personal space. The thing I despise the most is when people are being insincere and take advantage of others, so they do not need to work their way to fame, fortune or anything like that. You parasites, Y U No leave us(the ones who no even disturb you in the first place) alone?

Mindset is very important.

I miss reading SAT lexicons. Why on earth did I left the list back home? I highly recommend Simon's Saga for the SAT Verbal to everyone, especially to those who are waiting for their exam results. might as well you polish your English and increase your vocabulary just to pass the time with something beneficial.

ANTICIPATE 22/03/2012 < laughs evilly >

Man, I really need to talk to someone, maybe a therapist. All this while I've been listening to others.

I guess I'll stop right now while I'm still sane.

Note to self: No one cares. Don't rant next time. No one bothers.

18 5/6.

I'll be turning 19 in exactly 2 months. I'm unsure whether I'm excited about that or not. Somehow I feel that being 19 is way younger than that of 18. That's just my opinion.

Went for my first official KoPLN session. It felt good by not being lost and all.

I can say I anticipate the weekend and vice versa. I do hope I can manage to juggle between time and le responsibilities. 

P.s It's been a while since I visit 9Gag.com, I think my sense of humor is wearing off. No wonder I feel impassive. Wait, that is what I am, most of the time.

Long weekend. Preview.

Hey everyone. It's already the end of the long weekend. Why did I put that as the title instead?
 Well, I'm not going to talk much tonight since I have school tomorrow. Somehow this post is a reminder to myself; I may or may not share my experiences during this weekend. But I do pray that I will since I'd like to show my gratitude to those people that I get to experience the adventures with and also the ones I care.

I am definitely grateful that I get to live for all this while (Cliche much, but it;s the truth) and I had the chances to add in my memorable days list and all. Till then, always be grateful with what you have at the moment.

To le partners-in-crime and to whom it may concern, THANK YOU for making my life even more meaningful.

Retrospect.

After a long time, I started playing with this again.

Call me old school or anything. That's your decision.

Brilliant, no?

Hey there. I purposely waste time going online today, so far. I always complain that I do not have enough time on the internet. Now I'm giving myself full internet access. See whether I'm satisfied with my own decision. Let me feel/ regret for not reading or doing my homework or anything. Let it be.

Enough, about me. I'd appreciate if you'd take the time to watch this Check it out: Smell The Rain.

I salute the friend of mine, in that video for having such level of creativity to compose a song. I only play other people's masterpiece. I'll definitely anticipate the day I could be as awesome as le friend.

I can't recall where or when I blurt out about my intention of collaborating with local amateur musicians of my age for song covers. I wonder when I can make that intention a reality. We'll see about that.

Reasons.

As the famous saying goes, "Everything happens for a reason".
Well, a doleful, yet dejecting incident happened to me.

I can say it was my fault but it's hard to believe that I was somehow that reckless, obtuse and oblivious.

Some of you might not believe me too, but it happened. It was all of a sudden. Then again, no one else is to blame since there were no one else at that moment.

Fine, enough with the melodramatic introduction. What on earth happened to me? Come on, everyone's (if there's anyone) dying to know more.

My beloved laptop was attacked by 2 molecules of hydrogen atoms, 1 atom of oxygen and also glucose particles. 

I'm very grateful that I acted fast enough to save le laptop's life or else I'd be the most sad and rueful kid in school for the time being.

Some of you might scorn and diss me after knowing the truth. Not only that some of you might say, "That's it? You kept me waiting with all the suspense just because of your almost-dying laptop?"

If you refuse to read on or got bored already, I suggest that you exit this page. Might as well you spend your time wisely somewhere else. Thanks for dropping by!


Back to the story.
At first, I panicked. I was devastated and felt guilty. There were a lot of What Ifs and Hows, in my mind.

What if le laptop dies, how am I going to face Mum? She spent more than some Ks for this awesome going-to-college present.

How am I going to amend  le informative speech final draft outline (which is due next week), what if le lecturer won't believe my story?

What if the whole system crashed and the components are damaged badly, am I going to get a new laptop?

How am I going to react to knowing that all files and documents are lost and irretrievable?

Most important, how am I going to do things on le web, what if someone sends me important e-mails and documents?

And the list goes on and on and on.

I thought of preparing a farewell and thank you speech in case le laptop didn't survive. Cliché much.

Enough digression, let's skip to the ending. I'm now typing the whole story on le laptop. I'm grateful I can ignore the what ifs and hows since le laptop's condition is stable. I did tell Mum about the whole incident. I'm glad to have a patient, outgoing, awesome, loving and understanding mother.


The only bad news is the touch pad is paralyzed since it lost its nerves due to the attack. It's now less sensitive and the cursor is working partially. I can't click on anything. It won't budge.

The almost-RIP touch pad

All files, documents, programs, photos, videos, etc. are safe. I'm super grateful for that and also I need not any new laptop for the time being.


I guess that's the whole story. Sorry for making to those of you (who continued reading until the end of this post)  feel panicked and worried about me or even worse, almost had a slight heart attack or anything like that in the beginning of the story. Thank you for taking some time off your precious time to listen to me ranting, virtually.

Page 33 of 366.

Just another regular school day. I won't say much. I'm glad that I can add this book to my collection.

Try to listen to the piano part. I'm only into the song.

Anticipating the advern of the long weekend.

Virtuoso.

I've thought about it. I'll share the reviewed essay here. But I'll definitely remove this post later on.

Thank you Mr. AJ for reviewing my essay. Here goes.

VIRTUOSO

It was New Year’s Eve, hours away before the year 1998 came knocking on the door. The whole family was in the living room, watching a Michael Learns to Rock concert on TV. At the tender age of 4, I was fascinated with the band playing their instruments. I remembered blurting out to my parents about wanting to play the piano, the drums and the guitar when I grow up. All they did was smile at my antics and continued watching the concert. After that incident, I didn’t even brought up that matter ever again, thinking it was just an imagination.

Back then, I used to simply press the black and white keys on Grandad’s antique Baldwin piano with the idea that I’m playing songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and The Alphabet Song. I was actually impersonating Dad with his abilities to play the piano by ear; by which he did not need any music scores to be referred to.  There are also various kinds and sizes of keyboards at home.  At that age, I played with the kids’ version of a Casio keyboard.

One year later, after the Michael Learns to Rock concert and I was about to enroll into primary school, Mum told me that she had registered me for a piano class. It meant the whole world for a 6-ongoing-7 –year old.  After my first day in school, I was feeling excited that day because I was going for my first music class-ever! Mum drove me to class. On the way, I had butterflies in my stomach because I have zero idea on what to expect. A lot of questions ran through my mind. Who’s my teacher? Would he or she be a nice person? What will the color if the piano be? Will I get to play the piano like Dad in the future? And the list goes on and on.

            The moment we arrived in front of the music school, Mum informed me that’s the place where I’ll be attending music classes. All of a sudden, as if I saw a ghost, I felt scared and didn’t feel like going for music class. Mum consoled me and promised me that she’ll be around to wait for me until the class ended.  Subsequently, I felt better, thanked and gave a big hug.  The moment we entered the music center, the first thing I saw were the pianos. There were 4 of them. None of them looks like Grandad’s Baldwin. 3 of the pianos were Yamahas and the other one was Kawai. I laughed at the sight of that name, Kawai, as I never heard of it before. Not only that, there were two rows of guitar stands with different colors of guitars. Next to the main desk was this large shelf of music books. The sound of a lady’s voice brought me back to reality.  A Chinese lady, dressed in grey greeted us with a warm smile. She introduced herself and we shook hands. Her name was Madam Victoria. She showed me the room where I will be having my class. Turns out it was a middle-sized room, with white walls, a round table with 2 chairs and a black Kawai piano. Madam Victoria allowed me to play the piano then she talked to Mum. I just sat by the piano, not knowing what to do.

            Not long after that, another Chinese lady came into the room with 3 music books in her hand. Only then I found out that she was my music teacher. Her name was Miss Michelle. Before we started with the lesson, we got to know about each other a little. Then we started with the theory part of music. I was too absorbed with the new knowledge I acquired, I didn’t feel scared or nervous at all. After 30 minutes of basic music theory, my teacher invited me to play the piano. Without any hesitation, I accepted the invitation. Finally, after all this while, I get to play the piano the right way. I was happy to learn the music notes and the teacher even taught me how to play 2 simple songs. In the end, the 1-hour class ended. I absolutely forgot about Mum until I went out of the classroom and saw her and

Madam Victoria smiling at me. How glad I was to see Mum.  Before we left, I thanked both Madam Victoria and Miss Michelle and told them that I look forward to come again next week. On the way home, I told Mum about school and also the music class. I really had fun and told her that it was the best day ever.

             I am glad that I was determined enough to continue going for piano classes and up to this day, I am accredited with Grade 7 Piano. I am aware that I’m one grade away from obtaining full access to teach music to other people legally and I might continue to complete Grade 8 Piano after I graduate from college. I do hope and pray that I am able to live up my childhood dream. Being a quiet and shy kid, I did not tell any of my friends or fellow classmates about me attending music classes. I wasn’t ashamed or anything, it is just that I have been taught not to boast around and make others feel inferior.

So, how did it go? I welcome feedback and I highly appreciate them. Thank you for taking the time to read the essay.

Greetings, February 2012.

Hello and a warm welcome to February or in Disney language, Ferb-uary. Man, I really miss watching Phineas and Ferb at 0930hrs every weekdays.

Oops, I digressed. Sorry.
I'm really grateful today, it's not that I'm ungrateful on any other days but today the gratefulness is a little more compared to yesterday.

Despite I missed the first session of Ko-PLN because I got lost and in the end I gave up and went back,
I did well in school today. I'm grateful that I was able to not only focus but also understand,elaborated and reasoned when the teacher asked questions. To top it off, a classmate, requested me to help her out and I managed to clear her ambiguous-ness on the question. People rarely seek help from me since I do not often lend a hand to people. I don't feel confident to do so in case I shared the wrong information and I'll definitely be in hot water. I feel touched when le classmate seek help from me. It somehow ignite and motivate me to do better. See, how some kindness makes a person's day meaningful and memorable. Thank you, le classmate.

Somehow, I was motivated with the incident during the first class of the day, I managed to catch up during today's Physics lesson. Thanks to another classmate, who was willing to give a brief, yet comprehensive explanation about Projectile Motion, since I did not attend Monday's replacement class.

Another incident made my day. Thank you, another classmate (who is my personal experience essay reviewer) for willing to take the time to review my draft and read my bad penmanship. That's some kind of will power you've got there. My reviewed draft only had minor parts which had to be improved and I did.

Speaking about the personal experience essay, I've to admit there were a lot of topics that came through my mind such as my non-garrulous personality, forever alone moments, in and outside of school, sometimes, being a bibliophile, driving lesson experiences and the list goes on. In the end I settled for, drum roll please. Some of you might've guessed it right. I wrote/typed about my passion for music. I'm having second thoughts of sharing the essay here with you. We'll see about that later on.

I had a great day and I'm very grateful.
Not to forget, Hello February I'll hope you'll be as exciting as January.
