Math Question

2009-10-12T01:37:00.002+08:00

You borrowed RM25 from your mom and RM25 from your dad.
So the total money you borrowed is RM50, correct?
Then, you spend RM45 on clothes and so you are left with RM5.
You decide to return RM1 to each of your parents, so you give your mom RM1 and you also give your dad RM1.
Now, you owe RM24 to both your mom and dad. You are left with RM3 in your pocket.

RM24 x 2 = RM48
but
RM48 + RM3 = RM51
???
Where did the RM1 came from?

Try to solve this. It really is a brain teaser.
If you get the answer, post a comment in this topic.
Have fun!! : P

Basketball Try Out Overview

2009-10-12T01:23:00.002+08:00

The last try out was held on Monday and Tuesday morning, at 7 am!
I had to wake up early and it was really frustrating..
I was jealous of Faiz who can lay in bed for another hour..
It is very cold during the morning in Southampton and I have to endure it while feeling very sleepy..
I arrived early and had to wait before the Sport Complex was opened..
By 6.55 am, the main door to the Sport Complex was packed with basketball players..
People passing by was shocked to see a lot of people so early in the morning..
At 7 am, the Sport Complex was opened and the try out started..
To cut things short, I passed the try out on Monday but I failed during the last and final try out which was on Tuesday..
It was disappointing to be able to go this far and fail..
Huhuhu : (

However, I will not give up!!!
I will try again next year..
I will practice and improve my skills..
This will be a motivation for me to become better in this sport..
This is not the end!!

2nd Basketball Tryout

2009-10-04T23:13:00.002+08:00

The try-out started at 12pm. I had to rush a bit because I went to a car boot sale during the morning and arrived at my room at 10.30am. However, I managed to arrive there quite early and had a little practice before the try-out started.
Today, the Southampton basketball coach was around to observe and select us. He first asked us to do some layup drills to get us warmed up. Then, he split us into 10 teams to play 5 on 5 half court. The team that score first win and the losing team will be replaced by another team. It was hard since there was not a lot of space to take advantage of. After that we were required to play 5 on 5 full court. It was intense and very tiring since we have to run up and down the court for 5 minutes. I played OK and I was really feeling good about myself.
Then, came the most awaited time. The coach will call out the people who did not make it. Alhamdulillah, I was not one of them. Yahoooooo!!!
Tomorrow we will have practice at 7am. Huhuhu I have to get up early.
The coach will then assess us again during training and will cut 10 more people on Tuesday. That will be the day which will determine whether I am qualified to be a member of the Southampton Basketball team.
Pray for my success please.

Basketball Try-out

2009-10-03T20:00:00.005+08:00

Today I went for the Southampton basketball try out. It was really exciting to see so many basketball players in the campus. Many of them has lots of skill and are really good.
The trials started at 11.00. 1st, we were told to do some basic drills i.e. lay-ups and shots. And then we had a one on one match and a two on one match.
We were then told to play 4 on 4 half court matches. This is when things started to get hard. It was clear that I was the weakest player. Huhuhu
They were really good. I was getting tired and couldn't play very well. Then it got even harder as we were told to play 5 on 5 full court. I was exhausted by then since I have to run up and down the court.
However, I qualified for the 2nd round of the selection. Alhamdulillah. I was really thankful to Allah for giving me this opportunity. It will be held tomorrow at 12 noon.
I hope I can better tomorrow. Pray for me.

A New Beginning

2009-09-29T06:45:00.003+08:00

Salam
1st I would like to say sorry for not updating my blog for so long
Maybe it was because I couldn't find the time to write anything or maybe I was just lazy to write.

Yesterday I arrived at the University of Southampton, a new place which will be my place of study for the next 4 years..
This place will be challenging battle and a test of my emotions, spiritual, and physical attributtes.
This will be the place that will develop me into who I will become in the future.

Today I just checked into my room and I have finished packing and tidy up all of them.
(To Khalil - Bilik aku dah KEMAS!!)
Here I managed to get a room at the hall in monti 3 with a fellow penang and soksekianz, Faiz Omar.

Alhamdulillah, I was really relieved since this makes it easier to share kitchen utensils and food.
We also managed to do a little shopping at ASDA, which is a supermarket. My greatest thank you to brother Fauzi who have always been very helpful.
I am really grateful for all the things he have done. I hope one day I can repay him.

Finally, I hope that all of u would pray for our success in life. Hope to c u again soon.

Basketball Tournament

2009-07-14T12:24:00.004+08:00

From 23/6-28/6 I was at UTP. I was invited by a friend of mine to join their basketball team to play in a basketball tournament called the Spritzer Cup which is held from 26/6-28/6. I was so excited since it has been ages since I played in a basketball tournament.

So on the 24/6, my father's friend sent me to UTP. However, during the journey I was restless about one thing which is whether or not I can get into UTP. UTP is very strict in enforcing it rules and one of them is that only UTP students and staff are allowed in. In my mind I was thinking of the best way to get into UTP. Finally I decided to act like I am a student. If the guard asked me about my matric card, I would just say that I left it at home : P Luckily, the guard just let us in without any question. I was so relieved.

The next morning, our training started. It was intensive since we only have 2 days to prepare. We trained 3 times a day! Morning, evening and night. I was exhausted. This is the 1st time I've experieced such training. By night I slept like a log.
On Friday our game started with our first opponent being SERATAS Sr. At first we were not playing at our best probably because of the lack of teamwork. The slippery floor also made it worst since we are not used to it. So we had to play carefully in order to avoid injury. However during the 2nd quarter we played better and we thrashed them. I can't remember the score but I know the margin was very big. Hehehe

The next day we were up against TLDM and STAR. The match against TLDM was a close one but we won easily against STAR. We managed to limit STAR to only 7 points while we scored 34 points. Hehehe So we were the champion of the group and we were qualified to go to the 2nd round. In the 2nd round, the teams which qualifies were divided into 2 groups and only the champion of each group will be able to go to the final. The teams which obtained 2nd place in their group will be able to fight for the 3rd and 4th placing. UTP was placed with Python and Manjong. Both teams are very skilled and we knew that we have to work hard to win.

On Sunday, we had to face Python, a team comprising of ex-MCKK players. It was a very intense game. During the 1st quarter, the score was Python 8 UTP 0. We were playing badly. However, we improved during the 2nd quarter and we got even better in the 3rd quarter which they did not even managed to score. However, we failed to continue our form in the 4th quarter and hence we lost.

Our next match was against Manjong. I did not play in this match because I had to leave for KL to attend the YTN Reorientation Programme. Huhuhu UTP managed to win the game and was able to play against MCKK to fight for the 3rd place. Sadly, we lost to MCKK by a narrow margin.
So UTP obtained 4th place in the Spritzer Cup.
Eventhough we lost, I was happy because I obtained many new things in basketball which I hope I can use to improve my skill. Thx to all my friends in UTP for inviting me to join this tournament. Hope to see u and play with you again one day.
Adios

A Factor of Success

2009-05-26T10:42:00.004+08:00

Today, I woke up a bit late...
I have class during the morning so I quickly went for a bath and got ready..
After eating breakfast (bread with strawberry jam), I quickly rushed to my further mechanics class because I was already 5 minutes late...
When reached there, I saw what I had expected to see..
An empty dark classroom..
Not again!!
Including this, this is the 5th time I was the only who went to class..
Pn Ju came about 5 minutes later and she just smiled at me when she saw me standing in front of the class...
I think she too had expected the same thing...
So, I asked her to go and study at the RC and she agreed...

Some may say that I am writing this to brag about being the only one to go to class..
And wanting everyone to know that I am a very good student..
Well, that is not the reason I am writing this..
I am writing this to give an advice to my fellow friends...
And base on my story, I think you already know what am I going to say...

Respect and Baraqah
Like most of us, I too think that it is better if we have our own time to study..
We prefer to have study leave and study by ourselves..
Hence, since last week, most of us obtain a lot of free period because the teacher decided to cancel classes..
I am now free during block 3,4,5 and 6..
Which means I now only have two blocks to go to...
block 1 and 2..
This is the case for most of my friends....
So since now the percentage of free blocks is more than the percentage of class, I decided to skip most of my block 1 and 2...
"Alang2 dah free, baik free 1 hari trus..
bru best..
hehehe"
that was what I thought...
However, one day, a friend came to me and gave me an advice...
He said:
In exams, it is not only study that determines our success, it also comes from the baraqah of our teachers...
Baraqah is defined as the blessing of someone to us....
Many of us forget this important factor in running our life..
But trust me, the blessings from our teachers, parents and the people around us plays a very important role in our success...
We can not see it..
We can not quantify it..
We can not feel it..
But in order to be successful in life, we must believe that it exist and strive to obtain it..

A teacher once told me a story about a student who was very smart in his studies during his secondary school..
But he was not very respectful to his teacher...
As many people expected, he excelled in his SPM..
However, when he went on to continue his studies in university, he found it very difficult..
He couldn't focus and he was getting bad results for his exams..
One might say that it was all because he didn't get the blessing from his teachers who were the one giving him knowledge and guidance during secondary school...

Now the question is, how exactly do we obtain it???
One of the ways is to respect our teachers and parents..
Respect is define as the condition of showing honor to the person..
We show that we appreciate that person..
We do our best to make him or her happy..
We obey our parents...
We do our homework...
and
We come to class when we are suppose to..

After that, I promised to myself that I will never skip classes...
Why??
-The first thing is because I don't want to create a habit of skipping classes during my time in universities.
-I hope to obtain the blessing from my teachers
My results during trial was not very good..
So I need to do everything I can which can help me succeed in my exams..
Thx to that from of mine who showed me my errors..
All in all, please pray for my success in my A level examinations..
Wasalam...

7 May - Black Malaysia Day

2009-05-10T14:28:00.003+08:00

This day should be considered a black day for Malaysia. The event that happened on this day is a disgrace to all Malaysians.
To those of you who are not aware of this situation, let me brief you a little about what had happened on that day:
1. The first state assembly sitting since the Pakatan Rakyat state government was ousted in February was held on this day. The BN formed government in Perak lead by Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir wanted to table a motion to oust the current Speaker V Sivakumar in this sitting.
2. Before the sitting started, the Speaker ordered Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir and his six excos who was suspended to leave the assembly. They refused which lead to some mouth fights between the Pakatan reps and the BN reps.
3. Datuk Zambry then asked to table a motion to oust the Speaker but was refused by the Speaker since he said he will not start the assembly until all those who are suspended leave.
4. The Deputy Speaker, Hee Yit Foong then said that she was in charged and she ordered Sivakumar to leave the assembly. Datuk Zambry then tabled the motion to oust Sivakumar and obtained the support from all BN reps.
5. Sivakumar then said that the motion was not legitimate since he was still there.
6. After a few hours, police came in to forcefully remove the Speaker from his seat. He was then replaced by the BN elected Speaker R Ganesan.
7. Meanwhile, outside the Secretariat Building, bystanders and protesters were arrested for being in 500m of the fence, which was placed by the police. Those who were only drinking in a restaurant nearby were also arrested.

For more info about this event you can go to
1. http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/103763 (malay language)
2. Malaysia insider

From the events which happened, it is clear to us that democracy in Malaysia is not practiced fully. This is an act of destroying the constitution, the law and the parliamentary traditions. It seems that we are more of an autocratic country than a democratic country. Force is used to enable the BN government to take over the Perak state. Yeah, you can be proud of doing such a coward thing. Celebrate all you want. You won't obtain the respect of other people by obtaining power using that method. It makes me disgusted.
Furthermore, it always makes me wonder, who is the police force working for?? The country or the BN government?? And why is it always the Pakatan reps who are given a tough time by the police?? From my observations, the police force are not working for the country to protect the people but are working for the BN government to hurt the people. They are like brutes who just want to bully the weak. Don't they have crimes to worry about than carrying out arrest of peaceful protesters??? What is wrong with wearing black clothes to protest?? What harm can it do to other people?? We should have the right to wear whatever clothes we want as long as it is decent. No one has the right to strip us of this right.
Another question that should be raised is why does the BN so afraid of dissolving the assembly and call for fresh elections?? Is it because they are afraid of losing in the election?? Only they know the answer.
On the whole,I think that it would be wise to dissolve the assembly and give the power to Perakians to decide who they want to represent them. Even though it is time consuming, this is the only way that peace can be installed back in Perak. The sooner this ends the better for the benefit of Perak.
The government can use force to control our actions and speech but they do not have the power to control our minds and thoughts. I hope that you can give me your opinion on this matter.
Thx

The Topup Industry in KYUEM

2009-05-06T13:24:00.002+08:00

For about a year and a half I became a topup seller to my fellow friends in KYUEM.
It was fun. Exciting especially when I received the money. You have the chance to communicate and get to know a lot of people.
However, it was very tiring and the income was not that good. In economic terms, I was only earning normal profit which is define as:
the level of profit which is just enough for a firm to stay in business and is not able to attract any other firms to join the industry.

That is a bit of revision for economics students.
Hehehe
However, since February this year I have stopped selling topup.
Why???
Because I thought it was not worth it. My reasons are:

1. Exams is just around the corner. This is one of the most important exams of my life and it is important for me to stay focus and not be disturbed constantly while I'm studying or when I'm sleeping. This is because when I was selling topup, I get messages at 2 am from someone asking me to topup. Sometimes, people wake me up at 3 am to ask for topup. The worst part is, because I was too sleepy, I sometimes topup the wrong number which makes me making a loss. huhuhu

2. It is too tiring to collect money from people who bought on credit. And since I'm soo forgetful, I constantly forget who and how much people owe me. Sometimes, I even felt embarassed for asking the wrong person.

3. Profit is not that good. I only received around 10 cents for every RM10 topup I sell. It's too little. Not worth my time. I can do some other things like study. : P

However, I don't want to give the impression that selling topup did not give any benefits to me.
First, I managed to learn from my own experience how dangerous bad money management could be. Hence I continuosly tried to improve my money management (collecting money from debters) but I haven't found one that is really effective. But I did manage to make some improvement.
Secondly, it was very happy to be able to help people who are in need of topup. You see, KYUEM is not a place where you can just go to the small shops and get topup easily. No,no. In KYUEM, you need to know friends who sells topup and trust me, there are not many of them. Why can't we just go to shops to buy topup?? KYUEM is located at a very rural area where there are no small shops around! The closest thing to small shop is the dotco and it does not sell topup. So, whenever I managed to help my friend who are in great need of topup, it makes me feel good.
However, crisis sometimes happen when everyone of the people who sells topup are all out of topup. That is when havoc occurs in KYUEM!! Sometimes, it goes on for a whole week!!

Lastly, I would like to say thank you to all my loyal customers. You have helped me a lot. And a lot of thanks to my partner Syahir for helping with the posters and promotions.
Adios

The Story of a Butterfly

2009-05-06T07:12:00.002+08:00

Today, I managed to wake up early and did mt Subuh prayer at the mosque thx to Brother Aidid who woke me up. After the prayer, like always, there will be a tazkirah (a session for people to give good advice and reminders to other people).
Today, the person presenting the tazkirah is Brother Aidid.
Here is a summary of what he said:

Imagine that one day, a person walked and saw a tree in front of him. At that tree, he saw a cocoon where a beautiful butterfly is about to emerge. The person went nearer to the cocoon have a closer look. He saw that the butterfly is trying very hard to break free from the cocoon. Feeling sympathetic to it, he went into his room and brought out a scissor to cut open the cocoon in order to cut the cocoon to make it easier for the butterfly to escape from it. So he cut the cocoon and the butterfly was able to break free easily and started to fly. However, after a few seconds, the butterfly fell and couldn't get back up to fly because its wing is too weak. Even though the intention of the person is good, his action has made the butterfly weak and unable to fly.

Now what does this story tells us??
That we shouldn't help people when they are in need of our help??
No, that is not the morale of this story. What I learnt from this story is that challenges and difficulties in life are very crucial in our lives. Everyone must have experienced failure. We feel depressed and weak when we are unable to achieve something. However, we must always realize that each and every failure will make stronger and better. A person who fails but then managed to rise and start all over again is a person who will succeed in life. This is because that person will now be able to learn from the mistakes that he did. This makes him a better person than he was before.

In life, we must always face these challenges and never give up. There is no shortcut to it. We must give it our best or else we will regret it in the future. Either we fail or succeed is another story. As a student, one of the most important exams in my life is just around the corner. This will determine my future. That's why I have promised myself to never give up no matter how hard the subject is and I hope that all my friends out there will feel the same way.

All the best in your life!!!

Garnet House Trip 'Pangkor Island'

2009-04-20T16:58:00.004+08:00

Tired but lots of fun...

Friday, 17th of April
-Started our journey at around 2.45pm. 2 buses consisting of around 80 enthusiastic Garnetors were traveling towards the Lumut Port.

-Arrived at Lumut at 6.30 pm. We were given 45 minutes to stroll around. My friends and I decided to go and have roti canai since our stomach were already grumbling. Izuan an Amir ordered 2 roti canai kosong, while Anuar ordered 1 roti telur. Since I was not as hungry as Izuan and Amir, I only ordered 1 roti canai kosong but made it special by telling the mamak "kuah banjir taruk atas". 15 minutes later, my friends roti canai arrived but my special roti canai kuah banjir taruk atas was nowhere to be seen. I was getting restless. My friends have already finished their food. I put on an angry face and said to the mamak "Mamak, roti canai saya mana? Kwn saya dh abis makan, saya x dpt2 lg". The Mamak apologised to me and quickly went to tell the other Mamak who was cooking. I said to the Mamak, "Kuah banjir taruk atas tau". I was determined to get my specil roti canai. I did not have to wait long. Minutes later, my roti canai kuah banjir was served. My anger faded away with every bite of the roti canai.

-We then headed for Pangkor Island. The most enjoyable time was during our mini bus trip to our resort. The bus was very hot. No air-conditioning and it was packed. But, that was forgotten when we were on our way. We had a roller coaster ride when the bus was going up and down the hills. It was very slow when it was going uphill and I thought that we were going to go bakswards downhill at some point. But the skill of the driver did not permit that. When it was finally time to go downhill, it went very fast (well it seemed fast after a very slow uphill task : P). All the Garnertors in the bus went crazy screaming as the bus went down. It was very fun.

-We arrived at the Suria Resort. We got into our rooms and then had our dinner. After that, all of us decided to go to the beach. It was only a minute walk from our resort. Some of us had their own 'Johari window' session, some played 'pepsi cola' while others just walked across the beach. It felt really great and relaxing. At 12 midnight, Pn Halijah ordered us to went back to the resort. I watcheda tv show and then went to sleep.

Saturday, 18th of April
-We went to the Giam Island. It was not very far from the beach. As we arrived, many decided to just jump to the sea and have a bath. A few minor injuries occured when some of us had deep cuts because of the sea shells on rocks which was very sharp. Then, the tour guide gave us a lesson on how to do snorkelling. Many looked enthusiastic to learn. At around 11, we were sent to the snorkelling spot. I was not so excited because I couldn't snorkel due to the operation in my ear. So did not know what they saw when they snorkelled there. But I managed to get the experience of holding a living 'Gamat'. It felt like I was holding a big fat jelly. Then we headed back to our campsite. The boys had to walk there so we had our own mini jungle trekking with our bare footed because we did not bring along our slippers when we went to the snorkelling site.
Then we had our lunch. It felt great having a picnic at the beach with the wind and the sound of the ocean. Suddenly while I was eating, something got into my eye. It was painful. At first I thought it will go away in a few minutes but it did not. My friends gave many suggestions on how to get rid of it but all of them failed. I endured the pain while eating. I ate with my eyes closed. Huhuhuhu after about an hour ( I think because it felt so long), Mr Azman suggested to me to go and dip my eye in the sea. And it worked. I was grateful to him and Moja for helpin me out. Now I know how it feels to be blind.

-During the evening we headed back to our beach at Pulau Pangkor. Some of us decided to go on a banana boat ride which looked fun. I could just watched from the beach. : (
Then, my friends and I decided to go kayakking. We took 4 kayak and went back to Pulau Giam just for fun. Then I suggested to them to race back to the beach. The agreed. Four kayak was lined up ready to roll, consisting of me-izuan pilus, zul-amir, izzat-syafiq and najah-farah hazwani. On your mark, get set...GOOO and the race started. Each team was determined to win. Najah and Farah Hazwani was in front since we gave them a head start. My kayak was having a tough time bumping with Zul's kayak. Nevertheless, we manage to endure it and sped straight towards the beach to over take najah's kayak. With some very bad manouvering skills, we finally managed to overtake them and win the race. Yahoooooooooooooo. : P

-After that we decided to build our very own sand castle. Just one word to describe it. Disastrous. With no planning, our castle looked like a tank made of sand. I think we should have asked for some girl's touch. Hehehe

- During the night, we had a barbeque. The fish was very delicious. Then we were asked to go to the beach for our very own Survivor. When we arrived there, a big campfire was burning in the middle. Every group was placed at a candle situated around the campifire. It was amazing. Feels like 'Samurai Night'. Hehehe We had many activities. Water war, telefon berkarat, eating competition, and many more. And in almost every activity, almost every group cheated. What do you expect?? It was in the middle of the night. Hehehe The team that cheated the most manage to win : P Overall, it was fun even though we were exhausted after that.

Sunday, 19th of April
- We had our breakfast. But Izuan, Iman and I was not satisfied so we went for a second breakfast at a restaurant nearby. We ate nasi lemak which was very very spicy but delicious. I was sweating while eating because of the spice. Then we went for a stroll at the beach. After that, we decided to do some shopping. I bought some souvenirs and then headed back to the resort because it was raining.

-We then headed back to the port after having our lunch. We experienced the roller coaster ride once again. Hehehe We then boarded a ferry which has an open space at the back. This was soon packed with KYUEM's students taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. When we arrived at the Lumut Port, we were given some time to do some final shopping and thenwe headed for our beloved college.

Overall, it was very enjoying, fun, relaxing and exciting. Thx to the commitee for doing a wonderful job. May this be the mark for the rise of the House of Garnet. Go GARNET!!!!!

P/S: currently still searching for photos. I will upload them as soon as possible...

The Theory of Interdependence of Decision Making

2009-03-31T11:31:00.004+08:00

When we open our physic text book, we will encounter the many theories made by man.. Let's take one example, the 1st Law of thermodynamics..
Correct me if I'm wrong, this law states that the increase in the internal energy of a gas is equal to the sum of the heat enrgy supplied to it and the work done on it..
This is one of many laws in physic...

Then, when we feel bored of reading physic, we decide to study economics since we haven't 'mastered' it yet..
We will still fond many theories such as the ' theory of contestable market', the 'theory of the firms' and many more..
How did they make all this theories??

Have you ever since the sitcom 'How I met your mother'??
If you have not seen it, I suggest you find it and watch it..
It is extremely funny..
I personally like Barney, the character never failed to amuse me with his theories about girls, the 'Bro code' and many others..
It shows that you can make any theory you want, even though it is silly..
Hahahaha

Ok...
Now, I would to introduce one theory that I made...
I haven't given it a catchy name..
The Theory of Interdependence of Decision Making

This theory states that the decision of one person is affected by the decision of another person.
However, there are a few assumptions to be taken into account.
1. The person must share a high degree of friendship with one another.
2. Both person must be of in close contact with one another. However, since the introduction of telephones, mobile phones and internet, this assumption can be neglected.
3. Both of them must be facing the same choices.

Example:
X and Y is deciding whether to go to class or not. Hence if X decides not to go to class, then Y will also decide not to go to class.

This theory is applicable to almost all decision making situations where two people exist. It can be used to explain why a person acts that way.
So now if you are punished for not going to class, you can use the theory if interdependence if decision making as an excuse. : P

The Werewolf!! The story..

2009-03-02T09:11:00.006+08:00

Now I would like to share with you my experience playing this game..
Before you read this, you would need to read my previous post entitled " The Werewolf game!! Step by step guide" in order for you to understand what I'm talking about...
We played this game with 35 people..
So we changed the rule a bit..
The werewolf can kill 2 people each turn and the villagers can choose to execute to people each turn..
When i picked my card, my character was the 'werewolf'..
"Wow, this is going to be interesting. I get to kill people. Hehehe"
My tactic was to lay low and make friends with the people sitting beside me. They were X, Y, Z..
X was sitting on my right, Y and Z was sitting on my left. So I tried my best to pretend that I'm not the werewolf and gain their trust.
As the game goes, they seem to trust me. Whenever they pointed at someone who they suspect is a werewolf, I would just agree with them, even if that person is my fellow werewolf..
To me, it all werewolf for themselves..
My goal was to survive in this game and I was willing to do anything to achieve it..
I noticed that X trusted me a lot. X shared me her suspicion on the person who might be a werewolf..
"Dolah, I think Aainaa Kamila is a werewolf. She seems strange."
" Dolah, I heard Khalil making a pssssss sound when the werewolf was planning to kill someone. I think he must be a werewolf."
I just supported her.. Hehehe
As each turn passes by, the villager manage to kill many werewolf until I was the only werewolf alive...

I was feeling tense.
Now, there are only 5 people,
Me, X, A, B, and C..
It was my turn to choose someone to kill and was only allowed to kill one since there only a small number of players left..
Who should I kill??
Obviously not X, she is too important...
Should I kill A?? She was very suspicious of me before... No way, if I kill her, then the others might know that I'm the werewolf..
So it's either B or C..
B is the kind of person who seems to act like a werewolf.. So not her..
That leaves me with C, a quiet girl who will not be suspected of a werewolf..
So I chose to kill C..

Now, the final moment which will determine the winner...
Since there is only 4 people left and the villagers can kill 2 people, if the villagers chose correctly then they will win..
But if the villager chose the wrong person, I will win..
The odds are against me..
I was expecting X to start becoming suspicious of me since there are only 4 people left..
But to my great relief, she didn't suspect me at all..
Instead, she was discussing with me who is the real werewolf, A or B..
Hahaha
this is too good to be true..
X was very suspicious of A, and A was very suspicious of me..
Now all that I have to do is to convince X that B could also be a potential werewolf..
I whispered to X, "Don't you think that B is acting a bit weird. She is very quite and she sometimes smile to herself. I think she could be the werewolf".
To my joy, X agreed with me..
Hahahaha
And so the moment of truth.. The time to vote the 2 person to be executed..
The ghost(people who already lost the game) behind us was also anxious and kept saying "choose wisely"..
Then the narrator said "Who wants to vote A out?" 3 people raised their hands including me..
" How about Dollah?" only A raised her hand. I was already excited. "X?" one person raised their hand. " Now how about B"? Me and X raised our hands..
And so A and B was killed!!!
Hahahaha
I won...
before they announced the character of A and B, X finally realised something and said to me, "Dolah, if you are the werewolf I will kick you!!"
I just smiled to her.. "Sry X, I already won, Hehehe" I said to myself..
When the narrator finished announcing the character of A nad B, I leapt and shouted "Yessss!!!!"
Hehehehe
it was the best moment ever.. My fellow werewolves congratulated me..
X was really shocked..
I then apologised to her for tricking her but she still couldn't accept it at first and was really angry with me..
Hehehe
That was what happened when I first played this game..
I hope I can play this game again someday..
Hehehe

The Werewolf game!!! Step by step guide

2009-03-02T08:03:00.003+08:00

Last week during the SC camp, I learned a very interesting game called 'The werewolf'..
First, let me explain the rules n guide to play this game..
No. of players:
at least 7 people.. but the more people the more exciting

Characters:
During the start of each game, everyone will pick a card randomly from a box which states the character that is assigned to him/her.. You are not allowed to show your card to anyone.. You will be disqualified if you do so...
So the characters are:
1) The oracle - One player only.Has the power to see a players card during each turn
2) The cupid - One player only.Has the power to choose two people to become a couple. The couple chosen must protect each other at every cost. If one of the couple is killed, the other couple will die also. The cupid only has this power during the 1st turn. Then the cupid will just become a normal villager.
3) The werewolf - Can consist of 2 players or more (depends on the number of players in the game, the more the players, the more the werewolf). During each turn, the werewolf must choose a villager who they want to kill.
4) The witch - One player only.Has the power to kill someone who he/she thinks is a werewolf and revive a persons who was killed. He/she can only use both this power once during the whole game.
5) The villagers- All the players who are not assigned the characters above. During each turn they must decide a person who they suspect as a werewolf to be killed.

Objective of this game:
The villagers, oracle, witch, and cupid must kill all the werewolf.
The werewolf must kill all the villagers, oracle, witch n cupid.

The gameplan:
1) Everyone sits in a circle and picks a card. Then, place the card in front of you.
2) A narrator (must be someone who knows the rule of the game. He/she is not playing the game) will start the story with ' Once upon a time, there was a village called Lembah Bringin. However, among the villagers, there are a few werewolves. When night falls, everyone goes to sleep'(can be changed base on creativity of the narrator)
2. When the narrator says 'sleep'. Everyone must close their eyes. Those who fail to do so will be automatically killed.
3. Then, the narrator will say " Wake up oracle". The person who is the oracle must pone his/her eyes. "Choose a person who you want to know their identity". The oracle must point to someone without making any sound. The narrator will then pick the persons card and show it to the oracle. "Thank you oracle. You may now go to sleep". The oracle must close his/her eyes.
4. "Now, I call upon the cupid to wake up". The cupid must open his/her eyes. "Choose two people who you want to make them a couple". The cupid must point to two people without making any sound. "Thank you cupid. You may go to sleep". The cupid closes his/her eyes. "Now, the people who is tapped on the shoulder, please wake up." The people who was chosen by the cupid must wake up and see their partner. "You may now go to sleep". Both of them shut their eyes.
5. "Now, i call upon the werewolf". All the werewolf must wake up. "Choose a person you want to kill." The werewolf must decide without making any sound and point to that person. "Thank you werewolf. You may now go to sleep."
6. "Please wake up, oh great witch." The narrator will then show to the witch the person who was killed by the werewolf. "Now, choose. Do you want to save a life, kill a person, or skip the turn?" The witch will then tell the narrator his choice using sign language. For the1st turn, let us assume he/she skip the turn. "Thank you witch, you may go to sleep"
7. "As the sun rises, the villagers wakes up to see a bloody ''. Now villagers, choose a person who you would like to execute" During this, everyone in the game can open their eyes. The narrator will then announce the character of the person who was killed. (Each person who is killed can no longer play the game. He/she can only be spectator). They must all decide on a person in 2 minutes. During this time, everyone is allowed to speak either to accuse someone or to defend him/herself. When the time is up, they must then point to the person who they want to kill. The majority wins. The person who is executed can no longer play the game. The narrator will then announce the character of the person who is executed. If the person is a werewolf, then it is a good thing for the villagers. If however the person turns out to be a villager, or even worse the oracle, cupid, or witch, then it is a very bad thing for the villagers.
8. " Now, night falls again and everyone falls asleep." Everyone must close their eyes and the game starts with like before. Only the cupid will not be called to wake up because he/she has lost power. The game goes on and on until the villagers has killed all the werewolf or the werewolf have killed all the villagers.

This is a very exciting game. I played it once and was already addicted to it. Try and play it with your friends. If you have any questions, you can ask me.

PPSMI, is it a solution or a problem??

2009-02-25T11:17:00.008+08:00

Assalamualaikum...
Hope everyone is happy n enjoying their life..

Today, I would like to discuss a bit on PPSMI..
PPSMI in Malay stands for Pengajaran Pembelajaran Sains & Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris,
or in English, teaching Science & Mathematics using the English language..
This has started by stages since 2003 and is still a practice in schools in Malaysia..
Since then, many Malaysians have voiced out their dissatisfaction of the policy..

First, we need to know what are the objective of the Malaysian government of implementing this..
From what I heard, it is aimed to increasing the fluency and capability of students to speak in English..
In my opinion, this is a good vision by the government but I'm not really happy with the approach of PPSMI...
My reasons are:

1) Many teachers themselves are not confident in teaching Science & Mathematics in English.
If this is the case, then how can we expect the students to understand the subject thoroughly???

2) In my opinion, I don't think that by learning Science & Math in English will help in improving the quality of English among students. This is because Science & Math are both technical subjects while English is a language subject. Aside from learning the scientific term in English (which we rarely use in our conversation), we are not improving English in any way.

3) During my time in my secondary school (SOKSEK), I was regarded as among the best student in English. But to be honest, I didn't become good in English because of what I learn in primary school. I was lucky because when I was 7 years old, my mother did her PHD in Sheffield, UK and I stayed there for 1 year. So I was able to communicate in English and hence learn the language. If a person comes to me and asked about grammar, I can help him give the answer. But if he then wants to know why I answered in that way, then I would reply "Sebab aku rasa cam sedap ja bunyi" or in English "because it sounds correct". The point I want to make is that in school during English classes, we are given the teacher would come in and explain about grammar. To me, that is not the most effective way of learning English. I didn't learn English through knowing when to use the past tense, the past participle tense and so on. I learn the language through reading n communicating in English. By doing that, I learn how to construct sentences and use correct grammar at the same time. So I think if the government really wants to improve the fluency of English in school, they should change the system i.e. the way English is tested, exams, lessons in class, syllabus.
Encourage students to read and communicate using the language. That is the best way to learn English.

To conclude, I think the PPSMI should be abolished.
That is all I want to say. Plzz give me your thoughts on this issue.

The issue in Perak

2009-02-10T18:46:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum...
1st, I would like to say sry 4 not being able to update my blog..
It has been a hectic month due to Bangsawan..

OK, I'll go straight to the topic..
A few days ago, Malaysians were shocked with the appointment of a new MB from BN to replace YAB Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaludin by the Sultan of Perak..
And after that, a lot has happened even until this very day...
Let me 1st explain the chronology of this story...
1) 3 ADUN of Perak decided to quit Pakatan Rakyat and became Independent candidates.

2) ADUN Bota, Datuk Nasarudin Hasyim who recently joined PKR after quitting BN has decided to rejoin BN.

3) All 4 of them then stated their support for BN giving them enough majority to establish a government.

4) BN then went to see the Sultan of Perak to inform about BN forming a new government.

5) The Sultan of Perak did not approve of the disestablishment of Dewan Undangan Negeri but ordered YAB Nizar Jamaludin to step down as MB.

6) Datuk Seri Nizar then sent a letter to the Sultan stating why he refuse to resign as MB.

See this link for further info on the content of this letter:

http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/97687

7) BN went on to appoint Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the MB of Perak.

That is all that I manage to collect by reading from the internet. Please let me know if you have further info on this issue.

And I would like to turn your attention to these link. Please take a look at them.

Words For My Friends...

2009-01-23T08:55:00.008+08:00

On the 21st of January, the result for the AS level examination was out...

It was a day full of emotions....

Some people smiled and seemed happy while others cried and felt depress...

For me, my result was not as good as I had expected...

I felt really depress at that time...

How did this happen??

What had I done wrong in my examination??

These were some of the questions which filled my thought on that day...

I tried to not think about it but it was useless...

My mind couldn't let it go....

Then I realised that it's no use to feel down and depress...

To those who had the same feeling like I did on that day, here are some motivational advice to help you..

It's OK to feel down for a day or two...

That's natural for a person when facing failure...

But make sure that you snap out of it fast because being sad and despair will not solve your problems.. ...

You are only sitting on your problems if you keep doing this...

What's more important is for you to stand up and start fixing it...

Be positive...

Take this as a test from God...

This shows that He still cares and love you...

He wants to see whether you will succeed to overcome this test...

He knows what's good and what's bad for you...

Maybe this will be the motivation and thrust that you will need to achive a far greater success....

Believe in Him and always ask for His help...

I once read a book...

In that book, it talks about being a successful person..

"A successfull person is not one who achieve the most success in life...

but a successfull is a person who manage to stand up, revive and start rebuilding again after everything that he has put his effort into shattered in front of his eyes"...

Whether we realise it or not, from doing mistake and experiencing failure, we learn to be a better person than we are before...

Learning from mistake a is very important tool because it have a great impact to us...

So my advice to everyone is to learn from your mistake and stand up to be a better person...

Let us together strive for success and be the best that we can be...

Believe in yourself and NEVER GIVE UP!!

After Isyak prayer, I got a message from herda, my pet sis asking me to be at the cafe...
When I arrived there, Imrul was waiting for me...
He said that the others are still on their way so we waited for about 10 minutes for them to come...
When they finally arrived, Herda ask us to go to the Jap garden...
And it was there that I celebrated my birthday with my pet family...
This was the time someone other than my parents held a birthday party for me..
I was touched : P
It was the best...
Instead of the usuall cake, they had prepared cupcakes which looks awesome...
Rasa sayang plak nk mkn...
It had jersey, basketball, my favourite football team name Arsenal, the gunners symbol,and the coolest part, my name....

hehe
It was fun...
Thx to all my pet family for organising this memorable event...
You guys are the BEST!!!!

After that, we got back..
And I was preparing for another birthday party..
This time with my beloved male friends...
Just to name a few who was present..
Khalil, Azwan, Haqqa, Zul, Hamidi, Syazzy, Reno, Acap N, Zed B, Acap Z...
At 11pm, a great big banana choc cake from secret recipe was cut..
It was long till the cake was almost finished...
And as usuall, since Reno was there, there was great entertainment...

The clock is ticking...
Every seconds pass makes me more anxious...
My time is running out...
What I percieve as the best moment of my life is finally coming to an end..
Well maybe I'm exagerating to much...
Correction..
The most relaxing time of my life is going to end in a few hours..
How i wish this moment will never come..
My holiday is coming to a close and study life is opening its doors..

Well heres a summary of what mischief i have been up to for the past 1 month and 3 weeks:
1) During the 1st week of my holiday, it was quite boring. None of my friends were around so all I did was stay at home, watch television and play FM08.
Kinda dull...
Oh yes, not forgeting being employed by my mother to be a part time driver...
2) During the 2nd week, i had to go to my grandmothers house in Kuala Krai, Kelantan.
My father asked me and my brother to stay there until Hari Raya Haji to look after my grandmother who is suffering from a stroke.
It made us feel good to be able to help..
I won't lie to you, there were times we felt lazy... : P
Hehehe
Hey it's normal, right??
Well, at least I think we did a good job...
And during that time i manage to start studying..
Wowwww..
Quite impressive for a person who rarely studies at home...
hehe
3) Celebrated hari Raya Aidiladha..
The best celebration we've ever had..
Very enjoying..
4) After that, nothing much happened..
Stayed at home, continue studying a bit... : P
Played basketball during the evening..
5) On the 23rd of December, we went to Muar to visit my grandmother...
Stayed there for two nights..
During that time, me and my siblings went to the A Famosa Waterpark..
Enjoying and relaxing...
And then on our way home, we went to Kl visit my relatives and sent my little brother to UTM..
6) Went on a trip with my friends..
Very exciting..
7) The last week of holidays..
My momentum of studying have faded away..
Dh x study..
hhuhuhu
And I hope that when i step my foot on KYUEM territory, my determination to study will flourish..
hehehe
Wish me all the best for my A levels..
Adios!!

New Year Resolutions!!!

2009-01-03T12:20:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year to everyone..
2008 has closed its doors,
2009 is ahead of us with more surprises, and excitement..
Bringing us new challenges and obstacle that we must overcome...

Like everyone else, i would like to write my new year short term and long term plan..
The short term meaning I must achieve it before 2009 comes to an end..
and the long term plan must be successfully accomplished when I am all grown up..
Probably 10-20 years from now..
hehehe

Ok lets start with my short term plan:
1. To obtain all A's in my A level examination.
2. To start saving RM 100 a month.
3. To start selling something other than topup :P (dh penat jual topup)
4. To be a better basketball player. ( Basketball is truth!!)
5. To become a better Muslim than I am today.
6. To widen my knowledge on current issues i.e. politics, economics, global.

Now for my long term plan:
1. To become a successful business man in the housing and property market. (Which one that interest me)
2. To continue playing basketball and to be a basketball coach :P
3. To help donating to the community especially to Muslims who are in need. eg. the Palestinians :' (
4. To participate actively in NGOs to help the community
5. To have a happy family hehehe
6. To promote Islam to others.

Fuh..
That's done
Now I have a wish list that i wish to share with all of you.
This wish list is about what I hope will happen in the future...
To be precise, it's my 'doa' (prayer) for changes to the world.

My wish list:
I hope that..
1. Muslims around the world will stand up and be brave to defend their fellow Muslim and what is right (the issues in Palestine, Ambon, Afghanistan, Iraq)
2. The cruel treatment of the Israel to the Palestinian will stop and to all other Muslim countries.
3. The ISA will be abolished!!!
4. Islam will rise and be successful in all aspect and field

If we believe in our dreams and strive towards it with all our might, I'm sure that it will come true...

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams ~Eleanor Roosevelt~

All Boys SOKSEK Trip 2008!!! (Part 1)

2008-12-31T21:57:00.000+08:00

Awesome!!
Fun!!
Exciting!!
Full of laughter!!!
Memorable!!!
Those are just a few words to describe the two days we had spent together at Kolam Air Panas Ulu Lenggong n Bkt Merah Laketown Water Park...
A total of 9 soksekianz batch 0206 joined the event..
Shah, Prem, Farid ketul, Cdan, Paih Omar, Azrin goleks, Iqram, Azri hanis n myself...
hehehe
This is the first time we went on a trip together since we finished school...
There were a lot of chatting n laughter as we talked about our past stories in SOKSEK....

On the 29th of December, Iqram, Cdan, Paih, Prem n I gathered at the Seberang Prai Mosque...
There were some delays due to the heavy rain which made it difficult for Iqram to travel...
So as usual we had to wait for him : P
hehehe
At around 5pm, we drove towards Farid's house in Baling in two different cars...
One dangerous incident happened on the road while we were driving...
Memang bahaya gila...
Alhamdulillah slamat...
Syukur3...

Nevertheless, we arrived safely at Farid's house...
He n azri hanis who had arrived earlier greeted us...
Then we ate laksa which was prepared specially by farid's mother...
Mmg sedap gila...
Aku seperti biasa makan 2 round hehehe

At around 8pm, we headed straight for Kolam Air Panas Ulu Lenggong which is a 45 minutes drive from Baling...
When we finally arrived there were already a lot of people there..
According to Farid, the place is usually pack at midnight until the next morning...
After paying RM4 for the tickets, we searched for a suitable place to place our bags n set up a fire to start a bbq...
hehehe

3 fat chickens and 20 pieces of sausages are ready to be barbecued by 7 hungry people, some of them are experienced at it while others are not so experienced....
I won't tell you which category I fall into but i think you can guess.. : P
hehehe

With all our brains and skill put together we finally managed to cook all of the food.. That is after TWO HOURS!!!
hehehe

We had some difficulty lighting the fire and burning the charcoal due to scarce resources...
Nevertheless, the best moment has finally arrived...
EATING TIME!!!

Foods that you cook with your friends using our own skills really taste delicious.. (even though some of them are not fully cooked)
hehehe
After that, we all took a dip in the hot springs...
Fuuhhhh
It really feels great after all that heat from the bbq...
Many people were also there with some of them doing amazing stunts like diving in the hot spring, doing a back flip jump....
They are probably local people who have been swimming in the hot springs since they were babies..
hehe

We stayed there until 2.00 pm...
Some of us were already feeling sleepy and tired so we decided to head back to Farid's house...
Tomorrow we have another trip ahead of us....

To be continued...............................................

2008-11-27T18:56:00.001+08:00

It was the best..
the coolest...
the most exciting...
and the most memorable end of sem dinner I've ever had...

The food served was the best especially the Yong Tau Fu..
As always during the speech before the dinner began, the student will be busy planning a strategy to obtain the best food using the least time...
"A (bukan nama sebenar), ko p amk Yong Tau Fu, B (bukan nama sebenar), ko attack nasik lemak kukus ayam rempah, n aku serang pasembor. Kumpulkan sebanyak mungkin. Pape masalah, hubungi headquater. Roger n out."
My team consisting of York, Khalil, Acap Z, Neo, Teng, and Sayed was preparing to carry out our own great plan to conquer the food stalls..
hehehehe

N setelah kata2 'dinner is served oleh MC, GH yg tdnya penuh ngn org tiba2 lenggang.
Brpusu-pusu plajar KYUEM menyerang makanan ngn muka pnuh kelaparan...
It's like watching a stampede...
Good thing no casualties occured during the event...

The highlight of the event was the performance...
there was a cultural performance by all the three major race in Malaysia n plus one hip hop performance..
Just one word to describe it..
Mantap!!!
hehe
owh yes not forgetting the performance from the exchange student from the UK..
emmmm no comment
hehehe

Of all the performance, there was one performance that really caught my attention..
the Chinese dance...
why is it interesting???
because there was a great dancer who amazed everyone with his dancing skill..
He is Imrul Qais, my pet bro..
hohoho
he was awesome..
x sangka aku dia pandai menari...

hehe

I would give 8/10 to this event..
A really awesome idea by our project manager,the cool n cute Aainaa... hehe
I really enjoyed myself...
Hope next year's end of sem dinner will be more exciting..
hehe

because of the current economic situation which is still unpredictable, my wage have been cut down to zero...

Econs AS exams

2008-11-06T12:02:00.000+08:00

After 2 hours and 30 minutes of hardship, finally the econs paper is over...

hehehehe

Paper 1 was quite easy because there was not much difficult and confusing economic questions and calculations...

Thnk u so much to the exam board from the depest of my heart..

hehe

However, paper 2 was a bit hard...

The data response was normal but the essay was a bit confusing...

I had some difficulties i nchoosing which question to tackle...

div>Me: Isk, nk amk yg mana 1 ni??? CBA aku tolak awal2 so tinggal international trade n money....

At last, I chose to tackle the international trade questions which later turned out to be much more difficult than I thought. Since there was no turning back due to scarce time, I decided to just 'goreng'

hehehehe

Overall, I was satisfied with how I answered it and I hope that I can obtain an A...

Malas la nk repeat...

Doakan aku....

A few comments from other students about the econs paper:

S1 bkn nama sebenar: X susah sgt. Tp aku risau gk la.

K bkn nama sebenar: Paper 1 senang. Paper 2 pening sket la.

S2 bkn nama sebenar:Boleh la. Tp takut gk la coz aku jwb merepek sket td.

Someone bkn nama sebenar: Weh, nmpknya makin cerah la peluang aku nk dpt top in the world.

Regret....

2008-11-04T14:11:00.000+08:00

Injury...

A word which is very sensitive to everyone especially athletes in various sports...

Not being able to do the things that you love most even for just a moment is among the worst thing that could happen to you...

That is what I felt when an injury hit me a few months ago....

It all happened during the 2nd semester in KYUEM...

There was an inter-house rugby competition..

I was selected to be part of the team even though I have never played rugby in my entire life...

When I told my mother and father about it, there were not happy with my decision...

However, I managed to convinced them to allow me to play...

The 1st game was between Garnet and Topaz....

The was mostly controlled by Topaz since they have more experience players..

I didn't received the ball until after around 5 minutes...

When managed to grab hold of the ball, I ran at full speed...

Without knowing, someone managed to tackle me....

CRACK!!!!

That was the sound that I heard before I felt unbearable pain...

I couldn't walk properly after that...

I was really shocked...

My worse fear has came true.....

I was speechless..

The next morning was the most painful moment of my life...

My knee felt extremely painful...

I was not able to get up of my bed....

I called my friends to contact the matron...

After seeing my condition, she decided to bring to the hospital...

The doctor said that my ligament is probably torn and he advises me to see a specialist...

The worst news that he told me was that I can not play any sport for about 3 months...

What???? 3 months.. You got to be kidding... No way....

And what's more, the doctor said that I may not be able to play like I use to...

At that time, I really regretted my decision to play rugby.....

If only I had listen to my parent's advice...

Things could have been different for me...

This among the things that I regret in life...

Since then, my knee have been repeatedly injured....

And every time my knee got injured, I will always remember that painful event....

Court Case

2008-10-29T10:56:00.000+08:00

Crime: Did not go to Puan Ju's Mechanics class.

Date of crime: 28/10/08

Crime scene: Chalet P-19

Defendant's arguments:

1) Misguided information.

How it happen:

Date: 27/10/08

Time: 11.30pm

Venue: P-28 (Aidid's chalet)

I went to P-28 to meet Khalil coz we have to discuss the competition for the HAW which is just around the corner. As I was entering the chalet, I saw Aidid reading manga online. I went into Khalil's room and we started our discussion. At around 12.00am, we finished discussing and I went to join Aidid in front of the computer.

Me: Ko dk bca cita pa 2?? Best ka??

Aidid: Keikashi. Bleh tahan la. Weh, esk 1st period blok 4 kn?? Aku free. (muka penuh kegembiraan)

Me: Hah?? Btul ka?? Yes, aku pn free gk. X jeles pn. Alang2 free, jom ah tgk movie. Ada cita best x??

Aidid: Jom tgk cita '28 Weeks Later'. Cita psl zombie.

Me: Aiyo, cita seram ah ni. X kisah la.

And so we watched the movie until 2.00am. The movie was quite good. After that, I went straight to my chalet and went to sleep.

Venue: P-19C

I woke feeling very sleepy. I looked at my watch.

Me: Aiyo, Subuh dh nk abs.

I quickly did my prayer and then like everyone else, continued my sleep. I woke up again at 8.00am. I could hear Zul preparing to go to class.

Me: Relax. 1st period free. Sambung tdo la. Ngntuk gla ni. Zzzz

I hugged my pillow and continued to sleep. I woke up again at 9.00am feeling very dizzy. Suddenly, I felt like I need to look at my timetable. I looked at my timetable and was shocked. The 1st period was not block 4 but insted block 1.

Me: Hah!! (Trus sedar 100%) Aiyoooo, sry Puan Ju. X sngaja ponteng klas. Tipah trtipu. (perasaan geram trhadap Aidid trus membara) Ko mmg nk kna Aidid.

So that how it happens. Now it's time to give the verdict. Am I guilty or innocent??? You decide.

Basketball Friendly

2008-10-27T10:43:00.000+08:00

Result & report 4 the KYUEM team during the basketball friendly games at SAS:
25 th October, 5.45pm:
KYUEM vs KMS
This was the first game 4 KYUEM. KMS had a few girl's supporters with them while KYUEM had none which effected the morale of the KYUEM players. It was a tense game during the 1st quater. KYUEM didn't play very well and was unable to cope with KMS's offensive strategy. KMS used this opportunity to score and when the 1st quarter ended, KMS was leading KYUEM by 7-2. During the 2nd quarter, the game made a U-turn and was controlled by a high spirited KYUEM team. The score margin was narrowed and KYUEM finally manage to take the lead. The lead made KYUEM feel relaxed and KMS tried to use this chance to take the lead again but they failed. In the end, KYUEM won with a score of 31-21.

KYUEM players' words b4 the game:
- Weh, pesal seksi sgt jersey kta??
- Korg serius ka nk pkai jersey ni??
- Ni jersey kurun ke brapa ni??
- Waa, tuuttt (nama trpksa dirahsiakan) comel gla pkai jersey kolej

26th October, 9.30am:
KYUEM vs KMB
KYUEM took the lead during the 1st quarter. They played very well probably because of the presence of nab and ika (KYUEM's greatest cheering duo) and the KMB defense failed to cope with their attacks. KYUEM controlled the game for almost every minute of the game. Credit should be given to Acap for his superb performance which paralyzed the KMB players. KYUEM won 40-29.

KYUEM players' words b4 the game:
- Mana bdk KMB ni??
- Gla ah. Warming up lg lama dr main.
- Aku dh lapo ni ( x breakfast lg masa 2 )
- Laa, nape bdk KMB x bwk supporter pmpuan?? Kecewa2

26th October, 12.30pm
KYUEM vs SAS
Exteremely hot. That was how the weather was during the game. The game started with KYUEM leading the game. SAS gave a good fight and made a comeback during the 2nd quarter. However, some of their players played roughly. Many fouls was given during this game which showed how tense it was. When the 3rd quarter ended, KYUEM was still leading 20-17. The 4th quarter was the final moment of the game and SAS and KYUEM did all their best to attack and defend. Both team did not want to give up. However, with 1 minutes 30 seconds remaining, SAS managed to take the lead by 2 points. KYUEM was determined to get back the lead but a last minute foul gave SAS 2 free throws. SAS managed to score 1 of them and made the margin 3 points. With only 9 seconds left on the clock, KYUEM quickly attacked and tried to shoot a 3 pointer but Faris shot did not went into the hoop. So KYUEM lost to SAS 22-25. There was a controversy during the end of the 2nd quarter when Zed B fired a last second 3 point shot just as the referee was blowing his whistle and it went in. But the referee did not alowed the shot. If that was counted, the result of the game could have been different.

Some controversial words uttered during the game:
SAS player: Rileks, diorg dh tua. Kita muda lg.
Bdk no.12 UIA: Hah, blasah ja diorg. Bg siku sket. (UIA support SAS)
KYUEM player: Weh, x kn nk kalah ngn bdk2 kot.
KYUEM player: Uih, gla ah. Diorg mcm machine. Main cm askar. Teng pn kalah.

26th October, 5.30pm:
KYUEM vs UIA
Many KYUEM players had to go back early and hence they decided to forfeit the match.

Reasons given by KYUEM players:
-Aku nk kna blik umh la. Ada open house.
-Kaki aku krem. X tau bleh main ke x ptg ni.
-Aku pnat gla. Kaki aku sakit ah.
-Aku lapo la. Jom p alamanda.
-Ngntuk2. ZZzzzzzz

On the whole, for me, it was a very exciting experience. I would like to give my thanks to every basketball players and supporters of KYUEM who came during the game. You guys are the best!! I hope that we can continue this performance during the Sports & Charity Carnival and make KYUEM proud.

Love.....

2008-10-25T09:05:00.000+08:00

Love...

Something that is unexplainable and very complex...

You can't prove it using logic and mathematical equations(even using further mathematics equations!!)...

You can't use scientific experiments to test it...

Yet every single one of us is attach to it...

We don't need proof to believe it is there..

The feeling of having it will make you feel like you are the most luckiest person in the world...

It will make you smile, laugh and gives joy to your life...

However, love, like anything else has its own dangers...

It can sometimes make you act strangely and even dangerously..

It leads to heartbreaks, jealousy, and many more...

Love is like a fire...

If you can control it, it will benefit you..

But beware, if you fail, it has the power to destroy you...

I, myself have a lover...

I met her when I was in form 1...

at that time I was very down coz I was not accepted to be in my school's football team...

Her presence made me forget all my sadness...

She cheered me up and made me smile again...

We usually get together during the evening...

The moments that I spent with her are very precious....

I will always be happy when I am with her even though we do sometimes quarrel...

But every time we quarrel we will always be back together again...

There are times that I miss her a lot....

Just thinking about her makes me feel excited...

Seeing her will always make me happy...

When we are apart for a long time, I will always miss her...

That's why I will always find some time to be with her...

Whenever I have a problem, feeling stress, tension or sad, I will always consult her...

Even though she can't solve my problems, but just by seeing her I was able to forget everything and relax...

She is very special to me....

I have made a promise to myself that I will never leave her...

I will always stay by her side....

And be with her in every situation...

I hope that our relationship will last forever and ever.......

I love her soooo much....

You are my only one...

basketball...

I love this game...

Hehehehe

Rush Hour

2008-10-24T08:28:00.000+08:00

Today, I woke up quite early.

Woke up 4 Subuh at 6.30am (2 pn lepas beberapa kali bgn-tdo-bgn-tdo tp akhirnya brjaya juga mngalahkan bisikan syaitan)

then of course, the continuation of SLEEPING!!! hehe

Woke up again at 7.45am.. had to wake up cause I have a further pure class with Mr. B at 8.15am...

Gosok bju, mandi n brsiap diri...

then I hurried to the DH to eat (roti canai yum3)

after eating, I realised that it is already 8.25am...

aiyo I'm late... huhuhu

I walked very fast towards my classroom...

Seeing nobody outside the classroom, I became more panic( slalunya Mr B dtg lmbt so bdk2 klas aku slalu kna tnggu dia kt luar)

I ran up the stairs and when I finally reached the classroom, I was shocked...

Nobody was inside...

Siot....

Penat ja aku gelabah....

It turns out that Mr B has an exam to take care of so he will be a late for awhile...

And here I am writing something while waiting for Mr B...

Ok la...

better get to class now...

He is probably there already...

SICK!!

2008-10-22T11:10:00.000+08:00

I got sick a few days a go...

The thing is, it was quite bizarre how I got sick..... playing basketball.

Huhuhu

Yeah you guys must think it weird how on earth that could happen but the thing is,

it's a true story..

Well, it was all my fault for being to energetic...

I ran up and down the court even though on that day I was fasting...

The spirit of basketball hehehe

And you know what happens next.... I became sick...

I was very tired that night and felt very cold..

For two days I didn't go to class... Seems fun but it was not....

It was very boring..

Nothing to do, just lying on bed hoping that I will get well soon...

And I lost my appetite during that which is very awful for a person who loves to eat hehe

This experience taught me one thing...

Be grateful when you are well cause you will never know when you will get sick..

Igt lima perkara, sebelum lima perkara:

1. Sihat sebelum sakit

2. Muda sebelum tua

3. Kaya sebelum miskin

4. Lapang sebelum sempit

5. Hidup sebelum mati

Just as a reminder to you all....

My Generation (Poem)

2008-10-09T21:35:00.001+08:00

A few weeks back, I was told by my beloved IELTS teacher Mrs Foord to create an English poem about my generation.

My first impression was " Hah?? Aku mana reti. BM bleh la. Cmna nk goreng ni?".

But since it is compulsory, I had no choice but to give it a try.

It was really hard to 'goreng' the words since it is in English.

I used my best technique to 'goreng' and here is what I come out with.

Hope you enjoy it....

My Generation

My generation,

Young and enthusiastic,

Full of spirit and wonderful ideas,

Your heart is pure and innocent,

Yet so difficult and easy to manipulate,

My generation,

You hold the key to future success,

Destined for greatness and extraordinary achievement,

No one can deny this fate,

Except you who struggle to believe in it,

My generation,

Strive for self-independence,

You walk the Earth with your heads high up,

Confident about what lies in front of you,

But you fail to detect,

The hidden dangers ahead of you,

Hari RaYA!!

Understanding Your Friend

2008-09-25T21:44:00.000+08:00

Friends...
they are among the most influencial people in our life (some even rank them as no #1)...
however, it is normal for friends 2 fight n quarrel sometimes...
nobody is perfect...
so we sometime makes mistakes which hurt our friends...
understanding is one of the most in important thing for a good relationship with your friends...

Imagine you are having a problem and it is really making you feel sad and down...
so you turn to your friend and say
'Bro, I need your help. I have a big problem.'
and you tell your friend about all of the things that are disturbing you...
But what is your friend reaction towards this??
Here are a few negative reactions...
1. Looks at you with blur impression/ doesn't pay too much attention to you. This really irritates other people so please don't do this to your friends.
2. Gives a resonance effect ot your problem by saying " You have a problem. I have a problem too." And in the end, both of them cried over their problems. (this is usually the case for girls hehehe)
3. Before you even finished telling him/her about your problems, he/she turns to you and says "Be patient. Itu semua cobaan". I wouldn't say this is wrong. It's just that the timing is wrong.

So how should you react when your friend comes to you with a problem.
These are a few tips:
1. Listen to him/her and your full attention to what he/she is speaking. Try to comfort him/her while your listening.
2. Try to understand what your friend is feeling. Put yourself in his/her shoe.
3. Give suggestions to solve his/her problems if you have any.
4. Be supportive.

Even though you will usually be unable to solve your friends problem, just becoming a good listener is good enough to help ease your friends burden.

Lastly to all my friends out there,
FRIENDS 4 EVER!!!!

zZZzzZZ

2008-09-11T16:20:00.000+08:00

Today have been a very non-productive day for me.

Since morning I have done nothing but sleep.

huhuhu

What is wrong with me???

Just when I was about to study for the exam which is on Saturday, my eyes and head felt really dizzy.

My eyes kept shutting by itself every time I try to focus.

Even though I try to hold on, but the sleeping sensation always defeats my determination to stdy.

Huhuhu

Maybe I need to exercise a bit today.

I think my body has really miss playing basketball even though I it was just yesterday that I did not play.

Hehehe

Basketball is truth

Disappointment ....

2008-09-09T11:00:00.000+08:00

Today, after finished praying, I decided to surf the net for awhile and check out the latest news and events in Malaysia..

So I opened Malaysiakini....

I clicked on the most interesting issue that is published which is about the statement of the Chief of UMNO for the Bukit Mertajam district.

For those who have no idea of what I'm talking about, let me shed some light for you guys.

During the Permatang Pauh election, Datuk Ahmad Ismail, Chief of UMNO for the Bkt Bendera district gave out a statement which is said to be offensive to the Chinese during his speech for the campaign.

This has sparked anger to the Chinese community of Malaysia.

However, Datuk Ahmad Ismail defended himself saying that he was referring to the history of Malaysia and refuses to apologise to the public.

The thing that I am disappointed with is that the way some of our leaders are using race as an issue.

They give out racist comments which offends other races. Is this how leaders should act?

Are our leaders really taking the principle and belief that all races in Malaysia are part of Malaysia or are they just thinking of their own race and self importance?

We have reached our 51st years of independent.

Shouldn't we have learnt a lot from all these years about the races in Malaysia?

Can't we tolerate with each other and sit in one table to discuss our problems?

In the latest issue of the Malaysiakini that I read showed a picture of a man tearing the picture of Datuk Koh Tsu Koon, the President of the Gerakan party.

Is this how we should act after 50 years of independent?

I was totally disappointed with this.

In my opinion, it is important for us all to understand one another in order for us to live harmoniously in Malaysia. Let us hold our hands together and strive to achieve success as Malaysians and not as an individual race.

Put aside all of the negative thoughts and perception that we have on others. Rather looking at the bad things of other people, won't it be better if look for the good things of them?

We can make the difference

Leaders of tomorrow !!

2008-09-06T08:21:00.000+08:00

One day, Utbah bin Farqad, the Gabenor of Azerbaijan at the time of Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab was presented with a food by his people which was a norm at that time. He accepted and asked:

"What is the name of this food?"

"This food is called Habish" said his people.

The Gabenor tasted the food and found it very delicious. He thought that it would be a good idea to send this food to Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab and make him happy. The Gabenor quickly asked his people to make the food.

After the food was ready, he ordered two of his people to send the Habish to Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab. They both quickly headed for Madinah and presented the food to Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab. Khalifah Umar tasted the food.

"What is the name of this food?" asked Khalifah Umar.

"The name of this food is Habish. This is the most delicious food in Azerbaijan," said one of the messenger.

"Can every people of Azerbaijan eat this food?" asked Khalifah Umar again.

"No, not everyone can eat this food," said the messenger with some fear in his voice.

Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab went red in the face as a sign that he is angry. He asked both messenger to return the Habish to Azerbaijan and present a letter to the Gabenor of Azerbaijan,

'......this delicious food is not made from the money of your mother and father. Thus, fill the stomach of your people first before you fill your own stomach.'

DOE- The Ultimate Physical Test

2008-08-01T12:34:00.000+08:00

elo..

huh..it's now the end of another busy week... Last Saturday, I went for the DOE expedition. We had to walk for about 23 km in two days. On the first day, we had to walk for 5 km to our campsite but on the 2nd day, we had to walk for 18 km! Sounds tiring? It really is. You should try it someday to know how hard it feels. During the night, we had to shelter ourselves from the rain. It was pouring all night long. We could not do any activities except for talking and making jokes. Hehehe. On the good side of it, the rain made us comfortable during our sleep. It was really cozy in the tent so slept like logs. Hehehe.

The food that we cook was nice too. Even though it was just instant noodles n soup, it really was very delicious thx to the skills of the cooks. And the best part during this expedition was when we took a bath at the hot spring. Wooo. It really was relaxing. It made my foot feel a lot better after having to walk a very long distance in the rain. I hope one day they will build a hot spring in KYUEM. It would be fantastic. Hehehe

Next week will be a very exciting week. I'll be playing in the Basketball Interhouse Finals. Garnet(which my house) vs Diamond. Please pray for our success.

That's all for now. Bye2

Hardwork+Determination+Strategy=Success

2008-07-25T07:18:00.000+08:00

hi guys. I'm back. Sry for not updating it during this past few days. Today, I would like to promote another Japanese drama which is entitled Dragon Zakura. It is about a lawyer who wants to send 5 students to Tokyo University ( Todai). One problem is, this school is always being perceive as a 'stupid' school. No one have ever gone to Todai before and the thought of these students wanting to go to Todai have always been a joke. Even so, this lawyer made an invitation to any students who wish to change and make a U turn in their life. Will any student accept his offer?? That I'll leave it to you to find out.

This is a very interesting drama. It is not the usual drama which has lots of romance and stuff. This story is more on showing how with a lot of effort, you can achive your goals. This drama teaches the basic technique for revision and study. It also shows how good teaching technique is essentialt in forming an interest from the student and thus shows the importance of teachers. It shows how a good teacher should be. For those of you who are going to be a teacher, make sure you watch this drama before you even start teaching. It would be helpful to you and your future students. In this drama, it also shows that support from the family especially the parents, is very crucial.

Overall, this drama has provided me with the boost I need to study harder in order to achieve a good result in the A-Level examinations which is in 1 year time. I am very thankful that I have had the chance to watch this drama before I started my new semester. It made me realize on the importance of doing your best and sacrificing things that are not important to achieve a result that could be the turning point of your life. Think about it for awhile.

To end this, I would to wish all the best to all my friends out there and also to all the readers of my blog. I hope that we will all succeed in our life.

Today, I have finished watching a very interesting Japanese drama series entitled ' Proposal Daisakusen'. I recommend it to all of you out there to watch this. You won't regret it. Hehe
Well, i got interested to it because of its storyline, the cute and beautiful female actress : P, the way they act, the culture of the Japanese, and the way they convey moral values to the audience which really struck me in the heart. I finished watching all 12 episode plus 1 special episode in just to days (my best record ever, although i know some of you might have finished it in just 1 night).
Anyway, after finished watching it, I thought to myself for a while. In the drama, the main character has 4 best friend. They always do things together and enjoyed themselves together. Although they were hard times, they still stick together and help each other. I know some of may say that it's just an act, but to me, I think it really is something to be thought about.
Friendship should not be taken for granted. No matter who you are, friends will always be very important to you. They are the one besides your parents who have brought you up to become who you are right now and I think that is something to be grateful of.
When thinking back about my school days, I will always smile and laugh all by myself ( I'm not insane). Remembering all those days we had at school and enjoying ourselves with not many things to worry about made me realize how important friends are. If it was not for them, school would be very boring. Just books being your company is not something very interesting.
So to conclude my long speech, I would to say THANK YOU to all my friends out there. Have an enjoyable life and I hope we will meet again someday. Do keep in contact.

Holidays!!!

2008-07-02T00:18:00.000+08:00

Holidays. The most exciting word for a student. This is the time for us to relax and enjoy life. No books, no assignment or homework, no alarm clocks, no timetables, no faces of your 'beloved' teachers. This is the time when your pillows, bed, television, pc, and playstation rule your life and becomes your bestfriend.
Fun as it may seem, for me, holidays can sometimes be very boring. I am now 2 weeks away from ending my holidays but still, I feel that I have wasted my time very much. Inefficiency has become my daily routine. Everyday I woke up and straight away went to the pc to check the internet( that is, after I have had my bath). After about half an hour or so, I would then start playing Football Manager 2008 ( the most addicted game that I have ever played in my life, I do not know why) for 4-6 hours. When I thought about it, I felt really ashamed of myself. But the next day, I still repeated the same thing. Making changes to your life is very difficult if you know what I mean. Huhuhuhu
Even so, I will still keep on trying. Starting from tommorow, I will stop playing FM08. No more! I have wasted my time enough. Efficiency will start tommorow. Hehehe
