Went to find Ms.Ong this morning to ask her for my AS level grades..
So she took the list and we search for my name..
Aww.. There is it..
Look through..
a a U a..
Then I just couldn't believe that I actually failed my GP..
FOR THE FIRST TIME..
Normally my score didn't even reach e..
All I got is from the range 'a' - 'd'..
And now I got a 'U'..
I was expecting a 'c' or 'd'..
Shock of my life part 1..
Well.. Getting straight 'a' for my core subject..
Hmm.. Better than what I expect..
I was expecting of getting 'b' for my chem and phy..
Coz I know I did some careless mistake during the exam..
After checking my score in CIE site..
I got the highest for my favourite subject, physic..
chemistry rank 2 and surprisingly math is the last..
I really didn't expect this to happen..
Shock of my life part 2..
Well.. Overall I'm kind of satisfy except for my GP..
My class broke a new record for getting the most 'a' for chemistry since (no idea which year)..
And if I'm not mistaken around 75% of my classmates get straight 'a' excluding GP..
GREAT JOB GUYS!!
Congratulations to those who got your satisfactory results..
And you've done your best for those who are unsatisfy..
Work hard people.. =D

HOME - Most people treats it as the safest most warm place on Earth.
Somehow I feel a bit (NOT TOTALLY) different.
For the everytime I go home, I'd expect something different.
But the same thing always happen.
I get scolded for everything I've done in school, in college or anywhere.
Taking part in co-curricular activities.
Taking photos of everything.
Stargaze.
Skate.
Robotics.
Camping.
Watching TV and facebook-ing for long hours (Well.. I don't mind if you scold me for this.. Haha..)
etc.
But what about the others??
Is it wrong??
Am I doomed??
The only excuse they gave me is my study results ain't that excellent..
At least I don't fail right??
I don't fail even 1 subject though they ain't excellent.
If you know me.
I'll always wait until the most important exam to really study because that's the time whereby I won't procrastinate much. Just like many of my fellow coursemates.
I may not get great results in the end but at least I'll achieve something.
I don't want my life to be like a nerd who doesn't know anything besides study.
Who tells you that only people who gets full As can succeed?
Einstein did work as a clerk before after years of education.
He couldn't even talk until the age of 3.
Is he doomed?
Hawking was passing, but his unimpressive study habitsresulted in a final examination score on the borderline between first and second class honours - Wikipedia
He's now paralysed.
Is he doomed?
No matter what you do.
There's always a hope.
I LOVE to explore.
It's in my blood.
I'm not the person who can sit quietly in the office doing all those paper work.
I'd rather sleep than doing something like that.
I'm ok if it's once in a while job.
I can work in the factory.
But only if the person I'm working with truely respects me as a human.
That's human rights to me.
And it RULES.
A person couldn't do everything.
But the things that I do are somehow related to one another.
Why do I get scolded for what I've done?
I just don't get it after almost 5 years.
For the everytime I went home.
I feels like a lifeless, tired person because I've to be another person.
Hence, I seldom go home.
Both my mother and father were very supportive of any career move any of us wanted to make. - James Gandolfini
I'll always dream of such parents.
I'm not saying that they ain't good ya.
I still like them. =D

Have to wake up earlier than usual to get my mum's stuff to her later before class as she'll be going to some business conference in KL with Tun Mahathir as the first speaker and some other business leaders around the world..
Went to Parent Lecture Day last saturday with my mum as this is the last chance she's able to attend as my elder siblings have graduated and I'm the youngest..
Well.. I practically went to all the lecturers and they don't have much to talk about me anyway..
Mr. Keong was like interviewing me in front of my mum..
Well the questions are reasonable but I just couldn't answer my real thoughts that time because my mum is in front of me!!
Yes.. I'm a grown up boy.. I should have my own decision..
I'm asked whether I've put all my effort into what I'm studying??
I said no.. Obviously right??
I still play around and facebook-ing quite a lot despite the tonnes of tutorial waiting to be done..
I'm being asked again what I want to do in the future??
I answered..
Well.. Since secondary school I've spent a lot of time in astronomy..
Hence I wanted to go for aerospace engineering since there's no astronomy course in Malaysia..
And I've been to a camp at Inti-UC whereby the lecturer there told me to study mechanical 1st before going for aerospace and hence I've decided to go for it after A Lvls..
Then I said.. I also spent a lot of time in photography and skating..
Before I can go to my next sentence..
My mum goes,
That's your hobby.. You shouldn't spend so much time on your hobby coz you should study 1st..
Why the hell everytime I talk about things beside studying and she'll just interrupt??
I'm lazy to argue with her anymore because it makes no different..
Debating is sort of like arguing hence I like arguments..
Arguments that're not one sided..
All in her mind is that I've to study hard so that I can take over my dad's company..
In which engineering is way too important for the company and hence I'm stuck..
I make my decision to satisfy the needs of both my family and myself..
Does getting full A a must??
Why they have to be so chinese??
Next lecturer I went was Ms.Ong..
She had nothing much to say besides I'M VERY CARELESS..
And I know that.. Haha..
She said that I understand and I've the knowledge..
Saying that she know that based on my questions..
Other lecturer was OK..
I was expecting much from Mr.Ding but all that he say was work harder, do more question..
My mum was shock when she know that my GP essay has been deducted by 10 marks just because I didn't write the question number.. Here goes another example of the blur-ness in me..
I think I'm way to blur as compare to my classmates and coursemates...
Ms.Ong said that I've to reflect my knowledge on my papers and try not to be so blur..
Well.. I handed this impossible job to chicken essence which I did not had even 1 drop of it in all my examinations since.. Practically all of my life.. Haha..
Hope it helps.. =)
I'm still thinking how to tell my mum that I want to buy myself a pair of skate though using my own money.. Haih...
Aww.. My cousin just got himself a brand new Nikon D7000..
Went to his house today.. It's great that his dad is willing to spend money on his future..
My mum tell me something today..
She's wondering why Tun Mahathir want to invest money on bakery shop..
Ex-PM opening bakery shop??
Then I tell her.. What's the point of saving all your money in bank and make no use of it..
Adding that I can earn even more money than just waiting for interest by the bank..
Investment.. First thing to induce cash flow..

You're blessed,

Shouldn't have let this happen but I seriously don't have the mood to blog..
I'm suppose to sleep now... Haha..
Today exam was.. [highlight..backspace..]..
Oopss..
Suddenly rmb about 24 hour rule..
So I've this thought in mind..
I've chat with my neighbour ytd morning while hanging my clothes at the balcony..
We somehow get into the topic of "How to teach a child in this generation"
Well.. She told me how she would teach her children in the past and in the present and how she would teach her grandchildren and also how her children will teach her grandchildren..
Summary of what she said..
1. She should follow current trend of teaching..
i. No forcing
ii. No canning and beating
(I think this somehow can be called as the Western way of teaching)
2. Not to force but just to advise..
i. She used to scold her children for not visiting their relatives
(As expected, her children don't have the time to do so, they're too busy at work..
She add-on, another reason is that their relatives stay far apart.. It would be very troublesome for them to visit all the time.. It's not like the past whereby everyone lives in the same area/village anymore..)
Her daughter way of teaching her grandchildren..(Awesome mama..)
1. Let your child do what she want as long as it doesn't harm her in the future so to let her learn from mistake.. (Risky but I like)
i. She bother about her children's education silently..
Saying that if you study, look at your grade; if you don't study, look at your grade..
I know I'll do this to my children as well but of course we've to know their standard of mentality..
We also talk about how youngster nowadays dress.. Haha..
Telling me that they dress in such a way just for the sake of gaining peoples attention..
Hmm.. Well.. I don't really agree on that..
Ok.. I'm not sure but maybe it's true that some of them do wear baby size clothing or tonnes and tonnes of accessory to gain attention..
But for the others,
It's their passion..
It's their interest..
It comes from their true heart..
Like in the case of cosplay,
some do show a lot but that's how the character wears..
They like the character and starts to mimic them..
Can we say that's wrong??
I think I manage to change a bit of her thoughts..
Adding she also tells me that how she used to be so stubborn that she will die-heartedly follow the old way of teaching..
Forcing..
Scolding..
(In the case of scolding her children for unable to often visit relatives house)
All of these changes when she joined Christian where she learn about the principium of life.. She start to accept the new trend..
This is also the reason why I try to learn principles from as many religion as I can but not joining the particular religion..
I'm not insulting any religion but just for the sake of knowledge, I'll do..
I'll accept anything I think is right and ignore anything that I think is wrong..
I ought to learn more..
But I can't remember everything larrr..
I'm a normal human.. Haha..

There's is just way too much dramas happening recently..
Well.. I couldn't stand it anymore..
Erm.. Don't get me wrong.. It's not from the dramas..
It's that I hasn't blog for like.. Erm.. Count yourself la..
So now I couldn't resist but to just blurt it out here..
1st stop..
Dramas from John and YV..
After all the secret here and there..
After all the centre people matters..
After all the shying (this word actually exist in dictionary..I thought it is gramatically wrong..haha..) here and there..
There're now holding hands where ever they go..
Well.. Congratulation to both of you..
Second drama..
Exam results..
As I've stated in my previous post..
I'll work harder (well.. I'm still lazy though..)..
I'd improve but I'm still ain't satisfy with it..
Mr.Keong said the results we get now will more or less be the same as our AS results..
Well.. Maybe not true for other subjects but definitely it's gonna be true for chemistry..
I've to get at least 3 A's for my AS.. Hope so..
I really need it..
That's all for myself..
Now for my classmates..
Today we got back our General Paper results..
7 people in my class failed and all of them are scholarship holders..
And my lecturer doesn't want to add even 1 mark for them to help retain their scholarship..
I know the feeling of unable to retain it because I lose it last semester..
And I'm only holding a 50% scholarship..
They're holding 100%.. It'll be even harder for them..
Anyways there's an advancement in the hope of retaining their scholarship..
Ms. Joanna told Calvin to search for the person who is in charge of scholarship..
And just telling him that the person is Ms.Tan..
Who the hell is Ms. Tan?? There's so many 'Tan' in this college admin..
I've promise him to search for this person if he couldn't get her..
I'll ask Mdm. Looi (I perhaps she'll be there) after SWC meeting tomorrow..
Third..
I don't know whether it's my attitude or lack of vocabulary or what..
Somehow I just felt that people hates me..
Maybe it's the stress from exams (AS exam in 1 month)..
Or the way I talk..
Or the way I think of how others is treating me..
I don't know..
I'm lost..
I'm gonna be crazy..
I don't even know whether I should type it here..
Just let it be..
I just need to release this somewhere..
I've ask some of my classmates and Zi Wang whether I'm a despiser..
Somehow I got the answer 'NO' with their own definitions of despise and reasons..
But sometimes I'm being called as a despiser by some of my friends..
I've no idea whether I am or not..
Maybe it's the matter of their definition of despise or disdain..
My eye had swollen since yesterday evening..
And it's still a bit of a swollen now though it's not that obvious anymore..
Going to PC fair this friday and Sky-Trex this saturday with my classmates.. Whee~~
It's time to update myself with gadgets and get healthier..
Owh.. Just notice that I've posted 52 times..
As you know, I've been working for Grolier for the whole December at Tesco Kepong..
There's a lot that I've learnt from working there..
How MOST Malaysians think of education..
How to persuade/convince a customer to buy the books..
How to read to young children (learn from a grandma).. LOL!!
Of course, there's lots more that I've learnt but I'm a homosapien..
I'm unable to state out what I've learnt until real action is needed..
To MOST Malaysian..
Education ain't that important..
They rather leave their children to school/tuition teachers though knowing that the quality ain't good..
They rather leave their children to follow Malaysian's problematic education standards..
They rather save that little amount of money than preparing a future for their children..
They rather follow the old ancient way of teaching which is caning your child when they don't behave..
They don't mind even their children can't write/speak even simple words like EAT..
I've met a SIX years old boy.. HE CAN'T RECOGNISE COLOUR and speak to me..
And the mother.. Haih.. I'm really disappointed.. Feels like punching the mother in the face..
I perhaps the next generation will be more education concious..
I'm to go back to this company after my A Levels..
Of course for temporary as wouldn't choose sales as my career..
This time I'm there to gain experience..
But when I go back, I'm for sure to make money..
Staying at the company's hostel is great just that I hate that my hostel mates smoke a lot..
They share a lot of their experience with me..
As long as you ask, they'll tell..
Never keep quiet especially being a sales person..
Many sales person from Grolier and bank credit cards sales person are very shock to know that I'm only 18..
Wonder why?? Hahaha..
Many of my colleague are also 18..
Is 18 an exaggearting age to start as a sales person??
So this is a short brief of my first working days for another company in the sense that I'm not working for my own company.. Another great experience of my working life..
HAPPIE belated PONGGAL and HAPPY THAIPUSAM TO ALL INDIANS..
And that's why I'm rotting here in my Wangsa house today..
Yeah.. My Wangsa house is now offiicially Wifi ENABLED..
I don't have to hack my neighbour's line anymore.. Yay!!
Went out to Melati Utama McDonald today..
Today is my first day savouring McD's Prosperity Burger..
My room mate odered beef and I go for the chicken one..
All in all, the burger taste good except the black pepper sauce is kind of spicy..
Watched The Pianist for the second time today..
The Pianist is a 2002 biographical film directed by Roman Polanski, starring Adrien Brody. It is an adaptation of the autobiography of the same name by Jewish-Polish musician Wladyslaw Szpilman.
Well.. Pianist.. I'm sure you've been thinking this movie is full of great piano music..
But you're all wrong..
This movie is about how Wladyslaw Szpilman survive the Holocaust..
