24th of July

Me and my good bud Arunaldinho wandered into the library after finishing our afternoon physics practical class and he happened to grab a copy of today's paper, with its front-page headlines reminding me of something.




That was exactly two years ago! That night was a totally awesome night. That night stood out for a lot of reasons, which I'm not going to mention here because it might not make sense to others =) Most of us in that picture are separated now and I really miss you guys, Form4&5 Batch 06/07 =/ 


I had my lunch in Pizza Hut with Jeng yet again, together with Arunaldinho. He's goin back in the wee of hours of Saturday morning, so if I can't make it tomorrow, sorry yeah man? Take care there and this time don't come back without a souvenir for me haha.

Screw the title

I have a bloody mega humongous headache right now. My eyes feel so hot that I wish I could just take a fork and pluck them out of my eyesockets. Physically, I haven't been in hunky dory shape for a week now. Tests are flying in, and so are the homeworks so obviously its not a good combination. And somehow, SOMEHOW (only my stupidity can make this possible) I twisted my knee while going down the staircase a few hours ago. Very nice.



Jeng's going back on Saturday and Id feel really guilty if I won't be able to find any time to go out with him, at least once more. I know how he feels about how his holidays are going about so far...so I'll tell ya when Im free aite man? I went out with them Nadzri and Jeng last Friday, and it was almost a carbon copy of the previous friday, only with more people this time. Oh and go to 'Wanna & Dhil's' link if you wish to see the pictures. I advice you not to though, since my only picture there makes me look like a retard with Nadzri's middle finger sticking up my nose.



It's going to be a busy August for me I guess. End-of-years are fast approaching. There are about 5-6 weekends left until Ramadhan comes and lo and behold, 6 of my relatives are getting married in that time frame. What is this?! Mating season? Im kidding alright. Three of those getting married are my first cousins and all of them literally live within shouting distance from my bedroom window.



A few days ago I played my piano (yes I'm a pussy) for the first time in a few months. Surprisingly (well not really), I only get the urge to play it when I'm feeling down. And I play it better that way (thats what they mean by, mesti ada 'feelingggg'). Currently working on a few songs after getting the music notes from the internet. 



A random post isnt it? I dont feel like the storyteller of yesteryears anymore. Im much more curled up and secretive nowadays. I just dont feel like talking and being a clown that often anymore due to....whatever. So Im actually thinking of deleting this blog, but I haven't talked about it with Nadzri yet.



Haha till then

A PDS Alumni

First of all, some of you might have noticed that my tagboard has turned into some sort of a battlefield over the last few days. I'm sorry about that, but a certain 'mr. anonymous' kind of went overboard...


Anywaysssss


A few days ago I was flattered after being asked to write an article about my graduation ceremony last year. So before the school publishes it (thats if, they even do!), I thought I might as well let my beloved *cough* readers a first hand look at it. And I KNOW it sucks, it was done in the midst of my 'homework' season so I just scribbled any words that came to mind haha.


P/S: To the PDS '07 Seniors Batch, have a good read and I hope this will make you relive a great night for all of us. I miss last year sigh

PDS Graduation Day 2007

Last year’s graduation ceremony certainly doesn’t feel as if it was a good eight months ago. In fact, I can hardly believe that I’m actually old enough to be entitled to write an article under the ‘PDS Alumni’ section of the school’s magazine.


All kidding and sarcasm aside, my graduation day is a day that will be embedded in my memory forever. The two-week gap between my last examination and the graduation date was filled with outings with friends. Albeit all the excitement that was felt during the last few days, there was also an aura of sadness amongst the graduates, knowing that graduation will be the last chance for the vast majority of us to see each other for a long, long time, if not forever. PDS School is a relatively small school and as a consequence, everyone knew everyone rather well. Saying goodbye was not easy for me, especially to my Form4 and 5 classmates whom I spent my two most memorable years to date with.


My memory of the graduation day is rather vague, like a jigsaw puzzle with some missing pieces. I guess that was why they had the whole ceremony recorded. I remember entering through the back entrance and walking towards the designated hallway where we were supposed put on our togas. The area was loaded with joy and laughter coming from teachers, students and their proud parents. The hallway was illuminated with the endless camera flashes and my cheeks were aching, courtesy of the endless group photos I had to keep up with. We had our last shot in bullying our teachers by making them fix our togas for us but unfortunately, they were more than happy to do so.


After the arrival of the guest-of-honour, we entered the main hall where we were given a grand entrance accompanied with a standing ovation from teachers and parents that were beaming with pride. Personally for me, it really was a touching scene. It was only after we settled in our designated seats that the show began. We were spoiled with amazing performances stretching from goose bump-inducing modern dances, classical dances as well as choir performances. Together with all the cheering from us graduates, the night began to feel more like a concert rather than a graduation ceremony, which was a good thing.


To be given the privilege of being one of the three nominees for the ‘Student of The Year’ Award was a very flattering experience for me. The fact that being a ‘nominee’ was as far as I would go, I wasn’t disappointed at all. I was particularly amazed and touched at the support given by my fellow graduates.


The ceremony culminated with us on our feet, listening to the graduation song being sung by fellow graduates on stage. All of a sudden it seemed that everyone caught flu, with half of the audience sniffing. Quite a number of the graduates shed their tears as well. My mind started to reminisce all the memories of the past 5 years and I inevitably shed a tear or two as well.


After the ceremony ended, the endless camera flashes erupted once again as we all took this last opportunity to take pictures with friends and teachers. I also personally met some of the teachers to ask for forgiveness for my wrongdoings. Some of the teachers wished me more than the customary ‘good luck’ and those words mean a lot to me till this very day.


I would love to give some advice to the juniors, but I have nothing else to say besides the usual ‘work hard and do your best’ line. Make the most of your last year in secondary school and make your studies part of the enjoyment as the next step in the academic ladder is only going to get exponentially tougher.

Crushed

As a young child, my mom used to say to me, 'never give up on whatever you do', or 'you can accomplish anything if you try your best', you know, along those lines. You get the picture. I guess it doesn't apply to everything in life.


Yes I know, this may make me sound like a spoilt brat. 'Oh, so you expect you can have anything you want lah?' my mom would go. But I'm not referring to an object, or any materials. I'm talking about someone, whom had everything I had ever wanted in a person.  A person who I look forward to see every single day. A person who can make my day like no other person can. A person who grazed my definition of 'perfection'. She knows me inside out, and everything else around me. And vice versa.


My bestfriend, my everything.


I feel like everything - all the tears, the laughter, the joy and the pain - from the yesteryears have gone down the drain, just like that. All that's left are beautiful, yet very very painful memories...

I love you

Transition

I knew it! I knew I was gona run out of material to blog about once school is in full swing again. There's just nothing much to write about. I'm sure I'll torture you with boredom if I go like 'I hung out with *inserts name* during my PS block' or 'I ate super pedas nasi lamak ayam goreng for lunch' everyday. Unless it's something significant, I wont really write anything about it =)


Me and Arun met up with Jeng for lunch a couple of days ago. He hasn't changed a bit, which is a good thing. But I think he has cut down on his profanity lol. Besides his long hair that can make others mistake him for Wu Chun (he's gona kill me if he reads this), I think he's still the same old Jeng. I haven't met up with Nadzri though. I still owe him a meal and a movie, courtesy of Spain's exploits in Euro'08 a few weeks back. 


For the last two days I've been spending my afternoons practicing a play due to be performed for saturday afternoon's assembly. It's supposed provide a satirical view on the school's cleanliness.
There's also a choir performance during that very assembly but I'm not yet sure whether to join their performance or not as I'm not that ready.


Alright that's it for now then. My homeworks are literally stacking up, it's building a tower on my study desk. Before a second tower gets built, I better sign off now. Laters =)

Guess who's back!

Attention:

NADZRI'S BACK!!!

p/s: wanna, better start on planning another beach party =)

Unwell

There, that's the song I've been addicted to over the last few days or so, thanks to 'Dennis the Penis'. Haha yes I know it's an old song but it's the first time that I've listened to the acoustic version. It makes the lyrics stand out that much more, and in my opinion, it is a kick-ass song. So yeah, to those people who have seen me singing that song in school like a retard, do excuse me =)


Yeah this will only be a short post as im off to my granny's house in a few minutes for the weekly family gathering thingy.


Oh and Nadzri's coming back soon! Although that smelly prick won't tell me exactly when. Soon lah...Plus Jeng's coming back tomorrow. I miss listening to him swear randomly haha.


Oh well, till then guys =)

Pictures

At last, I've an afternoon off from school! I almost forgot how my house looks like in the afternoon.


Anyways, I just realised that I haven't got that many pictures from Singapore since I was too occupied with the videocam, so I've decided to combine it with pictures from last year in Aussie, which I havent posted up either. And yes since Im the self-proclaimed camera-guy, I don't have that many pictures of myself. Im not the biggest fan when it comes to taking photos so it doesnt matter anyway~
