Malaysia NS

Its A JOKE.

National Joke.

I am typing this using my camp's wireless network using a phone with wireless feature, so SHHH.

RIGHT, KIDDING.

I am back for a week.

To settle college stuff, so WEEEE!

NS is not that bad after all, depends on the camp you get, and the teachers you have. Mine are quite funny, JOKES. HAHA.

Update later, so TAAA!

thank god!

I FEEL SO RELIEVE.

My application document was sent to the correct office which is the front desk, documents to the international student office is for another type of admission exercise. SO YIPPEE!

And about FedEx, my uncle has called FedEx up and they had confirmed that my document reached on Monday which is the deadline, it must be a technical error with the FedEx tracking system on the website which I believe its updated wrongly.

SO, thank you GOD.

I finally can go NS in a peaceful state of mind and lets hope I will be able to make it to Singapore!

Well, got this dulan feeling. Which is normal among everyone during the starting of NS. So yeah, I hope I can over come it and adapt to it.

Thank you for all the wonderful SMSES, love you guys!

WILL MISS YOU! AND YOU! AND YOU! AND YOU! LOL.

NS here I come!

Temasek Design School and all SG OBML peeps, see you in April!

I know I will make it this time!

Thank You to those who organized the farewell yamcha session and those who came! Appreciate your effrots and presents!

=)

one after the other

Now what?

I just realized I did another stupid mistake for my application.

The letter was sent to the wrong office.

It was supposed to be sent to the International Student Office,
But mine was sent to the Admission Office.

OMG, SLAP ME.

I SUCK.

And this was my mom's reply, "Good, its time to teach you to be more careful in life. Since you have the "tidak apa" attitude.

So? Looks like You are gonna see me completing 3 months of NS instead of the supposed 2 weeks and coming back with a bald head, and being aimless for the rest of the year and another 3 months during 2010. Everyone will be in college, while I will be bumming around aimlessly for 9 months?

God Is this what you want?

And my mom say, I should be lucky if I get accepted.

I think I should be blessed instead of lucky if I get accepted.

Great, one shock after another.

Enough yet?

terrified soul

As you all know, the ever so great FedEx delivered my supporting application document to Singapore late by a day of the application deadline. Though the application through online is done on friday it self, but photocopies of the relevant documents like my not so nice result slip, identification card (NRIC), pass port and any cert you want to show off (though not stated to send) LOL. Those need to be at the polytechnic of my first choice by Monday. 16th March 2009. But it reached today, 17th March 2009.

Some say, Its okay, the online application is completed already what.

Some say, Aiya, they should understand the situation about this whole postal thing.

Some say, Why like that wan?

Some say, Nothing *stones at me*

Some say, So how?!?!

And I say, Looks like I am not going after all? Or maybe they should see that I sent the documents on the 13th March and it took FedEx too long, and at least try to understand the situation.

I hope it all turns out good!

So help me God.

=)

door to cultural shock

Its knocking on the door, another auspicious day for me.

Serving the military modeled but tame version of National Service.

Oh my, WHY ME?

Just went to Agro Bank to open the bank account, and the whole process took so so so long, 2 HOURS. CRAZY A!

But met Liza, Haziq and Chee Hui there, so talking about how unready of us to attend NS kills time.

And FedEx, why did you deliver my application document a day later than the deadline?!?!

Damn, I hope it all turns out good.

At least if all goes well, I will be going NS for the least of 2 weeks.

GAH. Lets hope its 2 weeks then, and a big "URGH" to FedEx.

the apple joke

I just received a joke, the new apple ipod shuffle 3rd generation. The biggest joke so far.



like wow, how small can it be.

first with the thinnest macbook and notebook which lack of impressive technical specifications.

and now, the smallest ipod touch with the most outstanding feature.



its so so small, man. smaller than a crayon, a size of a thumbdribe. maybe close to a size of a standard key. and damn you, this is not a joke yet.



its darn sleek, oh wait. where are the buttons? first button less ipod ever? woohoo, voice activation? shaking the ipod to change song? choose ur song by just saying the song name? HMMMM.



not really, just a switch and with only 3 functions. OFF, SHUFFLE, NOT SHUFFLE.

WOW!

Where's the play, stop, forward, rewind button?



apple has adopt the handphone handsfree concept i guess. with a component half way running in between the wires. but, there's only 3 buttons. volume up, volume down, and another button at the center.

and also doubted as the first ipod that talks to you.

so here's how it goes.
tap the center button once to play.
tap it twice to forward to next song.
OOPS, sorry u cant go backwards. so you gotta go through one big cycle to go back to the song you were listening at first.
and if you are blur about the song title about what you are listening to, hold the center button, and a gay voice will announce the song title and artist.

syncing ur ipod with a mac will make ur ipod shuffle have a gay voice.

syncing it with pc will make ur ipod shuffle have a gayer voice. go google the guided tour video and listen. damn, it will turn gay guys on.

what about switching playlist? SIMPLE.

hold the center button long enough till u hear a beep. but before a beep the gay voice will once again announce the song you are listening too. then the gay voice will announce the playlist name one by one, when you hear your desired playlist, tap the center button once.

WOW, what if I have a hundreds of playlist? OMG, time to enjoy hearing a mysterious gay voice.

I wish apple will have an update where you can change your preference on the voiceover, instead of gay voice, we can change it to a seductive woman's voice like those on the LRT?

COOL MAN.

SADIST

Where does my ambitious dream stands?

My result projected me with a sense of insecurity.

I am not gonna drown my self with my delusional satisfactory result, I hope.

Just gonna take a second to reflect, feel regret and move forward.

Dream crushed and buried by the painful debris of reality? You think?

I am trying my very best to not doubt possibilities, as I have achieved my points which is far beyond better than the requirement to enter my course in Singapore.

Maybe I just need to let go of this sense of desired self achievement which is already determined now.

There's still my diploma, where opportunities allows me to shine I think.

I should stop comparing my self with those who I did not expect to do well but did so or compare with even anybody.

SCREWED.

Temasek Design School? Sounds like a dream. Oh wait. I have no idea, UNDETERMINED.

* Just wanna thank those who congratulated me, including those of you across the Johor Strait!

message from the bottom of my heart

Hey friends, people that I've never talked before or laid eyes on before, as long as you are a SPM candidate for 2008, this is meticulously penned for you.

We might have dreaded this auspicious day badly, we might sense a munch of reality in this few hours as the white slip comes to our finger and rest in our palms and will be making its way to many institutions in the world to grant you access into tertiary education.

Lets not be contempt with fear, we all shall not be afraid. Why be afraid? Because that will only make you plant this seed of fear in you till the definite moment of truth-tomorrow.

Lets not rekindle continuous emotions which are injected with regret and disappointment, because from this moment till tomorrow, you will be filled with regrets and a sinking heart which is uncomfortable.

Lets just be happy and comfortable at least, after all being all cranky about it will not do good either. The inks has made its mark on the thin sheet of paper, and you can't do anything to do anything about it.

Inks are not reversible, so does our past action.

Be regret now but at least you can substitute it with happiness.

But lets not bet our fluctuating emotions into the pot over a substance that is not reversible.

Being too tense up or tangled up in a triangle of emotions can't change anything.

It's the fact, anything can't change anything.

We gave all the knowledge we have, we used all the inks we had, we stressed a hell out of our wrist and hand, we were stuck in a pin drop silent environment to achieve an achievement in life, and now we know we have done our best.

ALL THE BEST!

<3

stop eating me

lots of issues have been eating me up lately. OMG.

first spm results, the current hot line on phone/msn/face to face conversation is "see you on thursday!"

what if my L1R4 aggregate is more than 10? I know my course requirement point is 18, but I aim for 10. What is L1R4 aggregate? Its the Singapore O lvl (SPM) scoring system.

L1R4 is the total point of 5 particular paper among all the paper you took for exam. L for language paper, R for relevant papers. Which is English (L), A Maths (R), A Science (R), and other 2 best subjects. ( example, Art (R) and Moral (R) ) So now you know why is L1R4.

And the point is represent by the number after the grade, A1, A2, B3 and so on.

So total up the sum of your score for the 5 subject and see how less your numerical value is. The lesser, the better and of course if you get 5 points, even better. Means the 5 subject you score A1 for each.

I don't care about the number of As really, I just need a 10 pt L1R4 aggregate man. Which is at least A2 for each and every subject listed in the L1R4.

I am freaking out now.

And the fact that I might be going to NS, but the letter have not arrive yet. That important piece of document determines alot, either I go or I don't go. HAIH.

I.N.P.D

I am in PD now, BORED.

Though there is internet connection which explain why I am here, its a dial-up. SO, booyah.

Its uber duper slow, signing into msn takes eons and no I cant take it.

I still recall that when I was here 3 years ago, there was streamyx.

And now, I have no idea why its a dial up. Things evolve.

I still rekindle 3 years ago I was sitting at this messy computer table in my uncle's study room talking the dark clouds away with you.

And now, things have outgrown each other, look at us now. Sighers.

Glad we had moved on, separate highways, separate geographical locations, separate everything.

Can't afford to ponder upon this anymore.

Glad that results are out this week, at least I know where I stand among all my brainy friends.

I won't fail this I know, did it poorly maybe so.

And when I leave in a few weeks time, I won't miss you.

HAIH.

10 things you might not know about "emily hibiscus"

If you don't know what is Emily Hibiscus, means you did not attend Prefect Appreciation Night 08.

It's a movie, titled "bunga raya emily" if the film will be subtitled by the Media Cencorship Authority of Malaysia. Luckily, no such embarassment like "tiga orang labah labah" and "lusa".

LOL.

Produced by Prefectorial B.O.D 08/09.
Directed by me and B.O.D.
Starring B.O.D 08/09.
Cinematography by me.
Edited by me.
Written by Ho Guang Yi.
Distributed by 21st Century Prefects.

LALALA, okay. STOP.

SO the 10 things.

-Matthew did not have an on screen character name because a scene went wrong with the whole cast calling him Matthew, his supposed name is Aidan.

-The opening scene with the "step by step" piano book is a tribute to the previous appreciation night movie "secret". The first scene of the movie also has that book, but a green one held by Wei Shen.

-The opening score during the movie is also the opening score used for "The Holiday" by Nancy Meyers. Score composed by Hanz Zimmer.

-The whole white clothe wore by Emily Hibisus played by Ju Yinn was infact a white single size bed sheet.

-Lots of safety pins and even staplers were used to seal the white clothe around Ju Yinn so that it wont be a messy affair.

-The song played during the credit is the theme song of Disney Channel Live Action Series, Cory In The House, which is the director/editor's first favourite disney channel live action series.

-Whole of Emily Hibiscus was shot during the SPM period where examination was going on, and the shooting was told to be shut and only continue after examinations for the day are over =(

-The 21st Century Prefects animation at the beginning is a parody and a direct photocopy of the current 20th Century Fox animation. The whole animation took about 16 hours to render. (reconstruct the model virtually and the movement of the camera around the monument in a graphic 3D software)

- During the introductin titles in the Prefects Room where the cast names appear as it move from one table to another table. Those are the actual sitting arrangement of the bods during their meeting.

-Emily Hibiscus has only been viewed by audience once till now since its release during its premier night.

LOL.

EFF

driving has beeen a B.

I F hate it when it comes to the slope.

I have no problem aligning the car properly but the coming down part, F.

F, F, F, F.

After all, can't blame. It was my first taste of driving, So F it again.

My teacher is loud, but he will always cover up claiming that he is not angry and just being loud. F that la.

Expecting me to do it perfectly by the third time all though the previous two attempt wasn't smooth either, F LA.

He say I "oh" too many times after and after again when I discovered my mistake. And when the next attempt, I discovered another mistake, I "oh" again. Then he say I "oh-ing" for nothing cause I cant make it through. OH F IT LA!

Then, it started to get better, but still. F LA! URGH!

Gosh, let go the clutch untill the whole car vibrate while pressing the gas. But how the hell when I know the car is vibrating when its F-ing vibrating all the time?

Maybe I am not a car's best friend, should rely on public transport.

But heck, I am gonna keep trying. I still have the parking and 3 point to learn.

And as soon as I pass, my driving skill will expire when I am enjoying the efficient MRT and buses in Singapore.

Why are driving teahcer and JPJ officer so biased huh?

F LA!

*spell any word that starts with F when u encounter the F in the above post, any word will make sense, at least for you. The B too.*

If you think the F are vulgarity, up to you. boohoo.

time travelling so far..

In a week time, you are gonna determine if I will be able to lift up my dream and not blend in with the common crowd of pre-u souls.

With a friction of my thumb on the slip, it will send a message to my mind.

It's either, you procrastinate and you did well, or your addiction bought you to well deserved justice.

The scenario is either dreams do come true, or dreams are meant to be crushed in your own fist right in front of your innocent futuristic visioned pair of eyes. And all is only determined by an assessment and its result on a piece of thin and slightly larger than palm paper with parallel punched hole running on each side. And watermark of Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia beneath your string of grades.

Well said, but this are my dreams. To be able to get across to the causeway and enroll in the island republic most highly praised respected and award winning design school which is the main attraction and forte of the polytechnic. And what not, to be lucky enough to see all my foreign yet close to my heart friends again, yes, i am talking about you, the OBML people.

Dream, dream and dream some more.

I admit my dreams during my oral presentation was big headed, chuah said it was full with dream. But dreams are possible, but i don't dream about those in my sleep. Its my endless motivation during the day light. It drive me to watch more movies, learn its cinematography, and certain technic. It make me spend more time on youtube surfing for quality moving images where I humbly learn, relearn and unlearn from.

If you did not vote for me to get the scholarship, its okay. Dreams are not meant to be shared, its meant to be build and construct by the dreamer. And then to be launch into reality because of an illusional yet motivating and passionly driven believe which the whole class might have doubted me. ( I am not mad, pure expression)

And the day we all might fear can't be escaped, you can't sleep through it, your result, you have to know.

How many As, how was the result.

Do I really care? What more for a person with passion and dreams.

But the playwright of this moment is determined.

Our future is determined by a piece of paper, with our results.

This is the world, where papers are mightier than a sword or pen.

A paper, was once a tree.

A tree was once a seed.

And a seed was once plated into earth by a man who dreams to see a tree.

I wish, I believe, I can.

I gotta secure my future.

So help me God.

finished

After spending a few days with the computer, I have completed Need For Speed Undercover!

And it was very painful to tolerate with a poor running of the whole game due to the fact that the vaio processor doesn't reach the original sky high requirement. But it was decent enough to let me complete the whole game with a fair bit of suffering. So, yeehaa!

Okay, so here is my review.

The game's plot is not bad, pretty okay.

And the aim of the whole career in the gameplay is not very specific which is very very good.

Compared to nfs:most wanted which is just winning races and emerge to the number 1 most wanted driver, or nfs:carbon which is taking down racing gangs by winning races and gaining territory. The plot is one of it kind, with some surprises and some twist. And I will not reveal much so that i won't spoil the excitement of shu lyn. HAHA.

Police are much crazier, with a faster "busted" meter. And porshe as police cars? Thats not a problem to evade if you are driving a car better than a porshe. And the SUV are much more fierce compare to last time.

And if you watse time fooling around in the "open world", police will come after you in a blink.

And this time there's no drift and drag races like the old nfs, no idea why.

And here are the cars i used.
Lotus Elise, Chevrolet Camaro, Audi TT, Toyota Supra and Chevrolet Corvette.

But the last game that determines wheter you completed the whole career mode 100% was surprisingly easy, won in a split second and have no idea how i send the car flying into thick air and crashed.

Overall, its an easy game. Play it for pure fun but not for adrenaline or suspence.
