Saving Energy?

Actually, the idea of saving energy by switching off lights for an hour is well… ridiculuos. As what the website said:

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

Yes, true indeed. We are voting Earth for the election between planet Earth and global warming. At the same time, we are saving evergy too. In my opinion, although a lot of countries were participating, Malaysia seemed to be left out of the action. Since I was not at home to witness my neighbourhood shrouded by darkness, I took the opportunity by standing at the roadside looking everywhere and searching for houses which have their lights out. Sadly, only a very small number of houses actually had their lights out while the others kept their lights on as if nothing had happened. I didn’t think they even care. It was still a very young night and everyone was busy. One of my friends told me that he couldn’t even see without lights and candles were useless. He said:”If saving energy for an hour can really help, why not do it everyday?”

Since Earth Hour is being made globally for the 1st time, I think not many people are supporting it, especially in Asia. The only landmarks I can see without lights are The Twin Towers and KL Tower. To sum it up, Malaysia is clearly not concerned about global warming. Everyone in Malaysia, please wake up!

Amazed.

It is time for me to update again! Finally, holiday has arrived and guess what? Hell is unleashing before me! Homeworks, projects, dealing with PMR, hanging  out with my friends and a lot of stuff nore! How can I deal with all this? Seriously, positively thinking, I think I amstressed out!

Recently, I found out that FaceBook was actually a nice social networking website. Although it was kinda boring-looking, the applications were enjoying and provided a lot for interaction with friends. Therefore, after about a year of inactivity, I renewed my interest in facebook in hope to get new friends!

And… as funny as it seemed, I watched Dragonball Evolution with my friends today. Turned out it was a good movie. To be honest, I was kinda amazed to see such a good adaption from the original anime applied on this Hollywood movie. The special effects in this movie… was wow… It was about a heroic boy named Goku who practically saved the world at the end of the movie. If I were to give this movie a rating, I would have given 10 over 5. Definitely a good movie. Don’t miss out the chance to watch it!

See ya!

Tiring Exams.

My school exam – 1st Assessment had finally ended and whoosh! It’s a big relief for me. And my comment about the Intervention Exam. That government is trying to warm us up with this exam? Come on. They are really not going to help us improve. Why waste our time sitting for exam when we can study more? I really don’t get the point.

Besides that, the assessment which came up right after the Intervention Exam screwed us up even more. I just had about 4 days of rest to be exact before starting to study again. My mind was already cramped with enough garbages. Oh, my brain cells were dying at the same time too.

Lastly, about the big meeting or some kinda conference they are going to have in the coming days? There’s going to be a large group of people complaining regarding the use of English in Maths & Science, so they were like forcing it to be changed to BM? How improper! English is still the international language and the government wanted us to change to BM? No offense intended here but Bahasa Malaysia isn’t going to be used when you are out of Malaysia. Teaching Maths & Science in BM is really inappopriate. Imagine learning words like usus, hati & jantung for Science. Seriously, are the outsiders going to understand those words?

Just posting my daily complaints. Be entertained!

My Geeky Side.

*bangs my head on the wall* The intervention exam had just ended and another exam is just following right behind it on the 2nd of March. Come on. What does the school expect with us? Wake up! We are humans not robots. FYI, we need to memorize all the Form 1,2 & 3 textbooks. Aren’t that suicidal? If the school keep on increasing our pressure with all the exams, I think my head wlil explode soon.

By the way, recently, my friend’s hard drive just stopped functioning and I went to Plaza Low Yat with him to claim the warranty. Ohh, did I tell you the brand of the hard drive? It is Seagate. Famous, right? Well, it broke down within three months of usage. Thats shows us how unreliable electronic gadgets are. Don’ ever trust those electronic stuffs. Since I’m talking about IT, let me also give you an advice. If you are ever considering to buy an expensive gadget or not, why not wait for a few months more. By that time, the price will drop marginally and you don’t have to burn a hole in your pocket. Don’t expect some gadgets like the Play Station 3 to drop a lot though.

Besides that, I saw a 1TB external hard drive at Plaza Low Yat today. It only costs RM 399. Cheap, right? I am dreaming about owning his hard drive and my mm decided to buy one for me. How good is it?

Before I end my post, please watch this:

This world never ceases to amaze me.

Music.

School’s life all over again and god, I feel so bored. I was just taking out my free time in the midnight by blogging. Anyways, today I wanted to insert something special into my blog. Well, I finally do a change to my all-text blog. I am going to insert a MV called Love Story by Taylor Swift. The melody of the music is exceptionally nice, so enjoy!

The lyrics…

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony of summer air

See the lights,
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go, and I said:

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we’re dead if they know
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don’t go and I said:

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real,
Don’t be afraid
We’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a love story baby just say yes, oh,

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town I said:

Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don’t know what to think
He knealt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said:

Marry me Juliet you’ll never have to be alone
I love you and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
It’s a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Cause we were both young when I first saw you.

And lastly another dance song!

Chinese New Year ~~

Chinese New Year just started for about seven days. For me, it seems kinda boring and dull. Apart from visiting relatives & friends, getting Red Packets, eating a lot, I basically did nothing. No matter what, the celebration every year is still the same. It all looks like a tradition to me. Is my thinking too simplistic? You bet.

Last Saturday, I happened to move down to both my hometowns, my father’s and my mother’s for a week. Sadly, at my father’s hometown, because of the shortage of rooms, we had to stay at an inn. Gosh, the inn was horrible and the service there sucked. I wondered if the inn was the worst in the Earth. If it was not for the faulty air-cond cooling down the room, we would have slept under the bridge. Luckily the price wasn’t that high.

Besides that, I really brought my homeworks to my hometown to be done but apparently the distractions were too great. I found myself watching TVs and listening to musics rather than doing my homework, even thoough I managed to finish a few easy ones. Obviously the school teachers gave us a lot of homeworks, maybe they were trying to murder us. Couldn’t they understand we needed a rest? Come on, PMR is eaight months away!

My Red Packets counts this New Year was seriously low by the way. I only get around 40 which wasnt a lot for me. I did a sum of the money I got. All I got was 200 ringgit. A lot, erh?

Recently, I found that TV was addicting too. Because of the funny variety shows on the TV, Iwas glued to it for 4 hours straight once. I laughed so much in front of the TV. Remember that laughter is the best medicine. Just laugh more and hopefully you will be cherrier.

Thanks for reading!

Life’s little memories.

Well, it’s time to update again. Recently school isn’t going very well for me. A lot of things just happened. I will try to recount all the incidents that happened in school. Basically, our teacher hadn’t really start teaching officially and all of them were just touching Chapter 1 or the 1st topic. Sure, they gave a lot of homeworks ( which will increase in a few months more ) and were determined to fill our brains with only academics. No other stuff. I think all other Form 3 students know that. In class, I was just sitting with just a bunch of guys at the back and normally fooled around with them when the teachers weren’t around. We tought about everything that interested us, from anime to games, but not academics. We were just plain bored. I did have a sense of humor when I was hanging around with them. Ironically. Arghh, life’s little social exercise.

Today, our prefects just organized the special leadership course for the prefectorial board. The course was from 8 am till 11 am but it extended till 1 pm, the time we took our breakfast, cuz we are supposed to take it at 11 am. So you probably knew how hungry we were. Like other courses, we were divided into groups and had some activities for around 2 hours. Those indoor activities did improve our social skills and in fact I believed that people learned a lot besides leadership. Co-operation is an important thing and all the prefects seemed so engrossed in the activities. One activities included singing together in a group and hell, it was funny. My group sang some funny theme songs and although it was lame, I thought it qualified for Malaysian Idol. * lol *

Later, we managed to squeeze out of the school’s hall and went for outdoor activities. We had a cooking session and I volunteered to be the fire starter since we had to it outside the gymnasium which was an open area. Starting the fire was a tiring job. The fire was started on the third try. Not an easy job, definitely. My groups cooked some funny looking flour-ikan bilis-garlic mixture ( Not sure of the dish’s name ). The process involved mixing the ikan bilis with the flour and slices of garlics. And the end results was fantastic. A great dish of crunchy softy stuff. After the third round of cooking, the oil was “worn out” and the crunchy foods become not-so-crunchy anymore. Sorry for my bad English. After that, we did some presentation and presented our food. These all ended at 1 pm and after finishing up, we were allowed to have our “breakfast” at the canteen. Finally!

I guess that’s all for today.

Stay tuned.

OMGWTFBBQ School Again.

School has just started and hell was breaking loose. At least, that’s what I am thinking…

And now, I am battling with PMR in this school-created-hell.

Sorry for the short post. To be continued tomorrow.

Ahh…. School life.

School had just started and before  i knew, I was truly exhausted by what the school had in store for me. I just recently found out that my school undergoed a few funny changes. Our school finally started earlier than usual, that is at 7.30 a.m., apart from the original 7.40 a.m.. And another funny thing is, our recess time is extended to a total whoppingly long period of 35 minutes, which is by far the longest recess i ever see in any school. Funny, eh? Maybe that’s beacause students in SAB eat slower than anybody else. xD.

Before I moved on, I am so happy that I am finally Form 3 and are going to face the most dreadful exam I am going to have this year – PMR. By typing out PMR, I think I just freaked my mind out. Hell, PMR is perhaps an easy examintaion but I don’t think so. Look at it through this aspect. We need to study three years of book, spanning over 8 sucjects ( including Chinese ) and memorize all the facts contained within these books. Its a tireseome job, reall. Somehow I wished I am back in the wonderful year of Form 1.

I am still studying in the same class, I mean, the class with the same letter – 3K. My classmates remained the same although some of them “migrated” to other classes. My class is crammed full of Malays and only a few are Chinese. Imagine. Our new class is looking small and I am not satisfied with it. Just hope that it gets better by time with the decorations applied.

And yeah, my birthday is coming in two days time!

I am bored and it’s 11.20 p.m. Updating my blog tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!
