Ah, the familiar "New Post" page with a piano tune to accompany me as I write, how good to see you again, and hello, once again, my readers. It's been a long time, since I updated, huh? It's a pleasure for me to continue my life's chronicles in the form of these digitized alphabets. To be honest, that's not the main point, the main point being that...I have nothing to do and I can't sleep for some enigmatic reason, well to be honest it's because I'm feeling lonely and there's no one to talk to at this hour. I'm gonna skip all my usual wordplay and just type like my normal self for this one, hope you guys don't mind.
My life so far has been fun of ups and downs, and time sure flies, right? 2 more months till I face the music of SPM. Back to the subject at hand, yeah, I've been having an inconsistent life. Let's just summarize it from the top. I broke up with my first ever girlfriend because she didn't really appreciate me, from there, I lived more freely, free from her clutches. Then Ritchie introduced me to a girl which of course as usual, failed. Then I tried to become more well-acquainted with another girl, which yes, you've guessed it, failed. Then from my sorrowful clouds came a silver lining, someone very dear to me, finally accepted my offer to be in a relationship with her, after a month, she broke up with me and of course left me in shattered pieces.
From there, friends came to my aid, Ritchie, Nathalie, Nizam, Teck Hui all came to comfort me in their own, special unique way. I owe them the greatest of debts, thank you guys, I really appreciate that. It took almost 2 months to fully recover, and in the midst of my lamenting I was pushed to the edge with Public Speaking practice which I had to go to. Then, after reuniting with an old friend, Trester, meeting a few new ones and befriended the St. Marians, I slowly got back on my feet, because of all of you, I've become a more improved individual and cleaned up my act and also forget about my past anguish. It is safe to say that all of you are the best friends I could ever have. Thank you, Trester, Amirul, Anis, Adlinur, Josey and of course Su Ann. The Pesta Ria the St. Marians held was definitely the icing on top. And yes, Su Ann, I still love that Rojak.
The names mentioned above didn't just help me, each of them taught me something, Trester taught me that I should be patient, and have a little faith in both people and God. Amirul taught me that if you love someone, stay true to that feeling, patience is the key to a woman's heart. Anis taught me that love will find it's way no matter what, and she made my fandom towards Paramore THAT much more serious. Adlinur made me realize that guys like me are extinct (In a good way) and that girls aren't all that superficial. Josey AKA Jocelyn taught me the ways of taking it easy through the music of Jason Mraz, and she was responsible for me to meet the next person. Su Ann taught me the greatest of all lessons, that we can not give up, no matter what and that we should always perform our best at anything, she also got me into reading the wonderful works written by Cecelia Ahern and reignited my passion for a certain yellow sponge living under the sea. Thank you again to all of you, I love each and everyone of you to bits!
And of course there was my fun time with Amin and Ronald at the robotics competition, even though we lost, we still had fun, especially chanting Chong Hwa's name for beating the arrogant St. John's robotics squad. CHONG HWA! CHONG HWA!
Oh, also, today I went Ice Skating again with Yen Yi with her boyfriend and 2 others, really had a fun time with you guys, especially causing havoc in MPH. And Casualtiy report: My limbs...HURT. A fraction of the skin on my left foot tore itself apart. But thank goodness I was improving and didn't lose my skill.
Speaking of skill, my dearest Piano teacher let me advance to grade 2! Finally, no more cartoon doodles in my books, and I'm that much closer to perfection! Gotta give it my all, right, Su Ann?
By the way, my sweet CPU just got an UPGRADE a month back, thanks to Ritchie for laying the final blow on my Graphics Card, now I have a much more better PC! So now I can finally play all those PC games that I always wanted to play.
Hmm...it's 3:14, I guess I better stop here.
Adios amigos~

The Vox Populi
Vox Populi means the voice of the people, if you are all wondering.
Wondering why I'm not active again, huh? Well a lot of things happened recently and I prefer not to talk about them, except for one. 9 Days of public speaking training went by like a flash I tell you. I can still remember all the criticism and verbal-whipping I had throughout it. Of course today, was the competition, what I refer to as... WAR. I'm sorry, can't help but to say it because the only song that could motivate me was from 30 Seconds To Mars. Of course, the night before I kinda freaked out. In truth, I didn't expect this to happen...at all.
So today was competition day, woke up in the morning and donned my uniform, clad in a blazer due to prefectorial board formality reasons. AS I make my way to school I whispered my speech to see if I could recite it perfectly. Seeing that problem taken care off, I had a little confidence in me. S we made our way to St. Mary's, yes, the same venue from last year's inter-zone competition.(We being Ms. Sheila the teacher adviser, Mr. Derek KOK AKA the mentor and Johnathan Goh AKA the successor ) And when we reached there I saw a rather familiar face...Trester Kaur, who I dubbed Derek's pseudo-girlfriend...don't ask. And of course we got our breakfast, well most of us, Johnathan didn't eat. And GOD I miss St. Mary's good food that has ridiculously puny portions. So after that we entered the conference hall.
Let me tell you most of them looked intimidating, the competition that is. But in the process of calming myself down, I succumbed to Derek's advice. "Go and have fun, psycho them." He says. So I started talking to Trester, which eventually lead me to talk to the friends she's met and extended to almost the whole of the contestants. So there was a total of 13 schools, namely St. Mary's, Convent Sentul, Chong Hwa, Kiamas, and of cousre, SMP with their dreaded teacher adviser. A boring competition turned out to be rather entertaining. Status report for the prepared speech is:
1st Speaker (St. Mary's) : had a rather interesting topic; Body Language, but the intonation is...yeah.
2nd Speaker (SMP) : Wow, such a contrast from last year... this one is just like a flat-line.
3rd Speaker (Convert Sentul): Very well presented, with no mic at that. Interesting topic but rather informative, still, love the delivery.
4th speaker (not sure from which school) : Had decent delivery until she forgot her speech.
5th speaker (also not sure where she's from) : Very dramatic delivery, but generic topic on teenage blues.
6th speaker AKA Me : Well, Derek said that I lacked confidence in this one, but was more composed. Stumbled on a word though...
7th speaker (not sure) : Started okay, but freaked out.
8th (Kiamas) : TRESTER! Product of unity. Very witty speech, had a slight Chinese slang to it. I find the term Chinjabi very catchy.
9th speaker (SMK Bandar Baru) : Dude, nice speech. Love the snapping fingers and kids dying part. Poverty redefined.
10th Speaker (SMK Las Salle) : Topic had potential, (TV Commercials) but kinda boring...
11th speaker (not sure) : Very funny speech man, but perhaps too funny. But it was rather entertaining. How to speak in public, huh?
12th speaker (not sure too) : Very generic topic, Global warming. Delivery was okay.
13th speaker (Chong Hwa) : The one who got my respect, a Form 1 entering such competition, Derek freaked when he was talking about money. Oh the irony. He also had a standing ovation from the speakers.
Through the course of the competition I had more confidence fueling me. When we were quarantined in the waiting room... the psychological warfare begins. It ended up with Me, Trester, Amirul, and that other guy having a blast dilly-dallying our time there. So we were the calm ones, we even had time to tell jokes, listen to music and just making random noises. While the rest just went tense. When I was called into the quarantine room, and saw the topic "Entertainment", Ms. Sheila's final random topic from yesterday's practice came to mind...."Music" of course I added a little spice here and there. When I came out, I completed the deal that we would reveal the topic, whoever went first. So as Trester went in, I told her the topic for a few seconds' advantage. And Silent-shouted at my 2 other partners-in-crime just before I gave my speech. So I hoped I helped.
I didn't know what happened to the first 5 speakers, I heard the 3rd speaker did good though. But the 7th speaker had a nervous breakdown and puked, she pulled out of the competition as well. I think the lines "The rhapsody waltzing through the ages." "..like the latest phenomenon; Lady Gaga. Bad Romance, anyone?" and "The emotions on the silver screen." saved my speech. Trester quoted Adam Lambert, I think it was because of me. The guy after her did a wonderful speech, it sounded very intelligent, he redefined entertainment by saying that it isn't just the glits and glam but also creativity, he pulled off Issac Newton as an example, very well done. After him, it went significantly down, yet still rather entertaining.
After the competition, everyone had a sense of relief. We were just wasting time and talking. Getting to know each other, and hey me and that guy who talked about poverty might start a band! Derek and Ms. Sheila told me that I didn't have to win, because I did my best, so that was an extra relief. The time went flying so fast we didn't even feel it. And in the end the judges arrived back and we were back in tense mode. We were nervous, but went into a state where we were guessing who the winners are. I guessed that 3rd would go to either me or Trester, 2nd to the guy who talked on poverty who I find very entertaining and 1st would go to the girl from Convent Sentul. The poverty guy told me that I would win 1st but I thought that was preposterous. The results came in.
3rd was.... SMK Kiamas, Trester. So far I thought my prediction was correct.
2nd wen to.... St. Mary's. This is the part where I started panicking if I'm going to disappoint my friends and Derek.
Now here's the part all of you might not expect. The moment the MC said "And the 1st place goes to..." I was half praying it was either me or the poverty guy, or the convent girl. Then the MC continued saying "Contestant number 6, Law Sie Weng from SMK Maxwell." Immediately I went "HOLY SHIT!" to the poverty guy and Trester. Looked at my 3 supporters at the back. Johnathan had a smirk on, Derek was doing epic fist-pumps and Ms Sheila was clapping ever so proudly. I was of course overjoyed but kind of felt that others deserved it. Then I packed up my bags and made my way out, teachers were congratulating me, of course I was thanking them as well. And of course, my favorite part, fangirls, EVERYWHERE. I shook hands with the other speakers and the girls and made my way home. It was truly a once in a life time experience. And a first time feeling like a winner.
On the way home we stopped at Selayang Mall and ate some Popeye's. That was a first too. Stomachs full, we went back home. Talking about the competition along the way. Hearts overjoyed.
I truly miss new-found friends. And how Trester is an expert in making love....letters. Too bad life goes on, eh? I wished I could re-live the moment.
The rest is silence.

OH SCREW. YOU.
Wow, I didn't know being president and having bimbos as the admins can really rape your mind eh? Oh, I'd supposed I should explain. I was elected as the President of the ELDS (English Language and Drama Society) and lemme tell you, it rocked, surprisingly. BUT, I thought too soon. 2 days ago, my ape-faced, negative-thinking teacher adviser told me to step down from my position. I thought "Bitch, what the fuck?". Lo and behold the very BANE of my Wednesday job fucked up....again....BIG. TIME. Can we have a round of applause for Kreesan? Oh yes Kreesan, I'm STILL royally frickin' pissed at you even though you borrowed me that book.
"WHY?" you say? Well let's see, you took 90% of my job at first, gave me assurance taht you'd do it and you actually stopped doing it for the past 2 months. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOIN' NIGGER?! Ape-face told me that the ELDS has been on hiatus. And NOW she's saying I fucked the shit up just by not holding the debate, members of ELDS, you wanna 'huzza' to that? I went and become the most flexible president there is and you guys went all lazy on me. Great.....just fuckin' great.
Now, here's the story, 2 auditions were supposed to be held, one for Public Speaking, the other for next year's Debate Team. 2 of which that I've been bitching the ELDS about till august, when Kreesan told me to stop meetings because ape-faced told him to tell me. So I okay'd it and minded my own business till these few days. Suddenly I have to go apologize to ape-face for not reporting in?! Kreesan I thought you got me covered, which you voluntarily wanted to do.
So I went to apologize along with Mogan, the vice-president. Which turned into an argument because ape-face doesn't like the way I talk. Hey, I was talking as politely and as calmly as possible, okay? She says that I didn't do my job because I didn't inform her anything and that I didn't hold the auditions. Oh great, who told ME to stop meetings? And she said that a messenger like Kreesan is useless, she wants live RSS feeds from me, the big cheese.
I TRIED to explain to her why did this happened and how it was a misunderstanding, being the air-headed, ape-faced and negative-minded asshole of all trades she is, she denied ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING I said and the explanation went on for longer than I expected. Till I decided to stop since the ape-face doesn't want to. In the midst of the confusing argument I tried to make a sugegstion to hold the audition last minute, because (not to brag) but I KNOW I can pull it off, I myself hand-picked the team members based on their strengths and weaknesses. Yet she still doesn't want to listen. But when MOGAN told her the exact same shit, she listened. WOW. Just WOW. After she nodded to the crap, she told me to leave and thanked Mogan for ultimately saving the day. Oh wow, I was pissed alright.
Immediately, I barged off the office and slammed my right forearm to a nearby beam. And yes, my elbow still hurts as I type. Mogan told me to chill, which I obviously am NOT gonna be ever, and pushed him away. Let out a big "FUCK!" while throwing my arms to the side and went back to class to chill myself out.
With that, I'm gonna say, Screw ELDS, I'm quitting of my own free will, Derek, I'm sorry if I let you down. Mogan you take over and go ride Sheila. Kreesan you can go suck Mogan's cock and the rest shall masturbate to the sight of it. And I'm totally serious, I AM quitting as the president of ELDS, little gossip-mouths DO sprerad the word around. Adios, I'm out.
"WHY?" you say? Well let's see, you took 90% of my job at first, gave me assurance taht you'd do it and you actually stopped doing it for the past 2 months. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOIN' NIGGER?!

Defeat
Ironic eh? the contrast between this post and the last? Ok, so this is how it went down...
____________________________________________________________________
So yesterday, my friend asked me to do a presentation about this robot me made for some robot model competition, being the sucker I am, I did what I must do. 2 periods before school ends, we (along with 2 others) AND the teacher-in-charge of course discussed what the heck we should do, since THEY DID THIS LAST MINUTE. I asked my friend what does the robot do? He said it has a fan attachment to it's back... I was like "What the f-" since I KNOW, with that, I can't even elaborate on anything and dude, seriously... a FAN?!
Ok, so I asked the teacher to invest for us on the project and to make claims to school later, BUT he didn't give us money for shit's worth...he only have us 6 bucks.... yes.... SIX. So we all agreed that we were to complete the robot and discuss on the presentation at my house yesterday. After school, I went back home, chilled and took a bath. After 10 minutes, the 1st guy arrives, then the following with his oh-so annoying pal tagging along. Turns out that THE ROBOT WASN'T EVEN MADE YET...... AND the teacher's SO reluctant to give us some cash to buy some supplies, we just HAD to improvise.
So we PANICKED since with no robot, there's no presentation and since they don't know what to do, I had to come up with something.... =.=lll So we just kept thinking.....AND thinking..... until it was 1 hour into the project, one voiced that we should just work with what we have, I told em'... no paint, no good-looking robot. BUT, we just did it, it was a torso prototype with NO functions whatsoever, I was just like that....made of cardboard boxes. Now being SUCH a great team, 2 left us since one had to go for a football friendly match and the other(being the narcassist he is) had to go service his motorcycle and go to work in some studio (being the self-proclaimed jack-of-all-trades he is.)
And there was 2, me and my friend sitting there thinking of what the head should look like, THEN since I was bored, I booted up Dead Space on my computer and BAM! Instant inspiration, the main character's helmet was it... this is how it looks like:
see that thing with the blue glowy stripes? that's it. SO, we finisheed putting together the whole thing, wasting alomst 2 rolls of tape.Then came another problem..... NO PAINT, I wasted 9.50 buying emergency supplies and my friend bought me FABRIC PAINT..... dude, CARDBOARD BOXES.... and he said buying a large tin of piant ain't gonna cut it. So ok, we scrapped the paint, THEN my mom came to the rescue with a canister of left-over spray paint from my living skills project last year....which was black.... so we painted the thing black.... but 3/4 thru the process.... you guessed it, the paint ran out.
Now, let's take a deep breath and PANIC! UNTIL, my friend and I suddenly talk about Kamen Rider.... the latest one, Decade. So I remembered this one character in the show named DiEND which was blue/black in color. This is it:
Ok, so we used THAT color scheme, by covering our paint-less spots with left-over tape, which was BLUE in color.
So after we finished it, it was 9PM, my friend lives outside of town to boot..... so he took a bus home and I relaxed.....and was thinking of a concept of a awesomely kick-ass robot. So I came up with this crap, trust me, it's so stupid it will amuse you. Since our robot was made from fully recycle-able material, I thought that hey, why not IN THE FUTURE... synthesize these materials to a single substance that's eco-friendly AND cheap, therefore decreasing the cost for cybernetic development, making it easier for the nerds to make more advanced robots and viola, instant win. I made it Gaia to boot, which means "earth". So after that, I finished my speech and went to bed after logging off from my online game.
NEXT DAY (which was today), gathered up, for the record, after the "we're staying at the joint till 5PM" warning, I brought my PSP along. So we reached the university... (yeah, we did it in campus, the UKM which was ways from school) sat down to chill then proceeded to eat breakfast, they others went first, me and my other friend went later, had a run-of-the-mill Roti Tampal and then we started putting together the arms....which consist of Freddy Koeger's arm and Optimus Prime's sword.....gee, good going, smartass....
So after that, we bought some Mah Jong paper and Whiteboard pens and creaated last minute mind-maps, arts was (as per usual) in my hands, so my friend just traced mt pencil lines. 30 minutes later (It was already 2PM). The thing starts, so I had to do my speech and explanation about something that's not even gonna happen in the future over and over again till the fat judge came (God, I HATE this guy...). So I gave him a limited edition long speech and a full explanation on why and how. He only had 1 stupid question to ask... "Why did you use a micro-chip as it's brains?" I said it was to save space so you can connect more wires, increasing the potency of life-like limbs. He then said "No, I mean why not those intel chips you use nowadays?" I said it's cuz scientists like to go with the latest tech....so yeah. After a grueling hour or so, winners were announced, SMK Maxwell had no placing. it was....
1st: SMK Jalan Tiga (the garbage collector-bot and the snail-shaped vaccum)
2nd: SMK Jalan Tiga (Sharked-based bot that's SUPPOSED to clean the sea of oil)
3rd: St. John (Robot that plays music and a horse that dances to it's beat)
4th: SMK Dusun (or something like that) (Wall-E Rip-off)
5th: I totally forgot which.... (Sea cleaning bot with full details)
So yeah, St. John had those voice command and music note sensors, yet they got 3rd, we lost to a damn garbage-bot and a snail-shaped vaccum cleaner, AND a shark that looks like some aluminium foiled-covered dildo. I hate the judge for not having brains. So yeah, I wasted half of my day just to lose. So yeah, went back at about 6PM, reached home at somewhere near 7PM.
____________________________________________________________________
So that's what happened.
____________________________________________________________________
So yesterday, my friend asked me to do a presentation about this robot me made for some robot model competition, being the sucker I am, I did what I must do. 2 periods before school ends, we (along with 2 others) AND the teacher-in-charge of course discussed what the heck we should do, since THEY DID THIS LAST MINUTE. I asked my friend what does the robot do? He said it has a fan attachment to it's back... I was like "What the f-" since I KNOW, with that, I can't even elaborate on anything and dude, seriously... a FAN?!
Ok, so I asked the teacher to invest for us on the project and to make claims to school later, BUT he didn't give us money for shit's worth...he only have us 6 bucks.... yes.... SIX. So we all agreed that we were to complete the robot and discuss on the presentation at my house yesterday. After school, I went back home, chilled and took a bath. After 10 minutes, the 1st guy arrives, then the following with his oh-so annoying pal tagging along. Turns out that THE ROBOT WASN'T EVEN MADE YET...... AND the teacher's SO reluctant to give us some cash to buy some supplies, we just HAD to improvise.
So we PANICKED since with no robot, there's no presentation and since they don't know what to do, I had to come up with something.... =.=lll So we just kept thinking.....AND thinking..... until it was 1 hour into the project, one voiced that we should just work with what we have, I told em'... no paint, no good-looking robot. BUT, we just did it, it was a torso prototype with NO functions whatsoever, I was just like that....made of cardboard boxes. Now being SUCH a great team, 2 left us since one had to go for a football friendly match and the other(being the narcassist he is) had to go service his motorcycle and go to work in some studio (being the self-proclaimed jack-of-all-trades he is.)
And there was 2, me and my friend sitting there thinking of what the head should look like, THEN since I was bored, I booted up Dead Space on my computer and BAM! Instant inspiration, the main character's helmet was it... this is how it looks like:
see that thing with the blue glowy stripes? that's it. SO, we finisheed putting together the whole thing, wasting alomst 2 rolls of tape.Then came another problem..... NO PAINT, I wasted 9.50 buying emergency supplies and my friend bought me FABRIC PAINT..... dude, CARDBOARD BOXES.... and he said buying a large tin of piant ain't gonna cut it. So ok, we scrapped the paint, THEN my mom came to the rescue with a canister of left-over spray paint from my living skills project last year....which was black.... so we painted the thing black.... but 3/4 thru the process.... you guessed it, the paint ran out.Now, let's take a deep breath and PANIC! UNTIL, my friend and I suddenly talk about Kamen Rider.... the latest one, Decade. So I remembered this one character in the show named DiEND which was blue/black in color. This is it:
Ok, so we used THAT color scheme, by covering our paint-less spots with left-over tape, which was BLUE in color.So after we finished it, it was 9PM, my friend lives outside of town to boot..... so he took a bus home and I relaxed.....and was thinking of a concept of a awesomely kick-ass robot. So I came up with this crap, trust me, it's so stupid it will amuse you. Since our robot was made from fully recycle-able material, I thought that hey, why not IN THE FUTURE... synthesize these materials to a single substance that's eco-friendly AND cheap, therefore decreasing the cost for cybernetic development, making it easier for the nerds to make more advanced robots and viola, instant win. I made it Gaia to boot, which means "earth". So after that, I finished my speech and went to bed after logging off from my online game.
NEXT DAY (which was today), gathered up, for the record, after the "we're staying at the joint till 5PM" warning, I brought my PSP along. So we reached the university... (yeah, we did it in campus, the UKM which was ways from school) sat down to chill then proceeded to eat breakfast, they others went first, me and my other friend went later, had a run-of-the-mill Roti Tampal and then we started putting together the arms....which consist of Freddy Koeger's arm and Optimus Prime's sword.....gee, good going, smartass....
So after that, we bought some Mah Jong paper and Whiteboard pens and creaated last minute mind-maps, arts was (as per usual) in my hands, so my friend just traced mt pencil lines. 30 minutes later (It was already 2PM). The thing starts, so I had to do my speech and explanation about something that's not even gonna happen in the future over and over again till the fat judge came (God, I HATE this guy...). So I gave him a limited edition long speech and a full explanation on why and how. He only had 1 stupid question to ask... "Why did you use a micro-chip as it's brains?" I said it was to save space so you can connect more wires, increasing the potency of life-like limbs. He then said "No, I mean why not those intel chips you use nowadays?" I said it's cuz scientists like to go with the latest tech....so yeah. After a grueling hour or so, winners were announced, SMK Maxwell had no placing. it was....
1st: SMK Jalan Tiga (the garbage collector-bot and the snail-shaped vaccum)
2nd: SMK Jalan Tiga (Sharked-based bot that's SUPPOSED to clean the sea of oil)
3rd: St. John (Robot that plays music and a horse that dances to it's beat)
4th: SMK Dusun (or something like that) (Wall-E Rip-off)
5th: I totally forgot which.... (Sea cleaning bot with full details)
So yeah, St. John had those voice command and music note sensors, yet they got 3rd, we lost to a damn garbage-bot and a snail-shaped vaccum cleaner, AND a shark that looks like some aluminium foiled-covered dildo. I hate the judge for not having brains. So yeah, I wasted half of my day just to lose. So yeah, went back at about 6PM, reached home at somewhere near 7PM.

Flawless Victory
So today (as per usual =.=lll) Kreeshan and I was asked to accompany Derek to the state levels for public speaking, which was at St. John's..... all to familiar, I don't even need to explain about St. John, since I've been going there 3 times in my Stella Maris days, since SMSM didn't have a field. So we rode in Ms. Sheila's car, since Mrs. Jaspal has the chicken pocks. So we reached there at about 8 AM. I could say that the contestants from the 4 zones of KL looked threatening indeed.
So we went up to the lecture theater, me and Kreeshan got our seats then we waited..... waited and waited, since it's some sick tradition for the V.I.P's to be late. So the competition started, one by one the contestants presented their intruging speeches, subjects like "The Meaning of Life" or "Teenage Life" came up, heck even the magic topic "Sex" was spoken, even a subject about words came out. But flat put, the best quote today was "Why are you betting on yourself on a single piece of rubber?", which was made by the Sex guy, I don't know his name, but he was crazy about sex... he put sex as one of his points in his Impromtu speech. FYI, the title for impromptu was "Adolecence, Relationships and Responsibilities" a difficult yet open ended topic.
So, you're asking...who the hell won? Well... remember SMP? 1st place winner of the Sentul zone? The girl didn't win. So, are you ready?
3rd place goes to Convent (I don't recall which one, but it's one of the convent schools)
2nd, goes to St. John's, he was a threat indeed.
1st........goes to SMK Maxwell.
No, you are not drugged, hypnotized or drunk, Derek won. He doesn't know why he won too, he was blaberring away for his impromtu, but by a miracle, he won. He didn't even want to win, but well, I pity you, yet at the same time, am proud of you. Looks like he'll be representing our state for the national levels, so you better kick more ass Derek.
Oh, by the way, I met one of my friends from my primary school in St. John. He still remembered me, pretty suprising after 4 years. Heck he didn't change much himself, he was the same, just the usual voice change.
Well, guess that's it, OH! Kreeshan and myself also treated Derek to McDonald's for the win. We also bought a burger for Ms. Sheila, but she didn't want it, so I finished it for her.... also that damn apple pie burned the side of my lip, ouch....

Public Speaking in St. Mary's
So ohkay, today I went to St. Mary School to what Mrs. Jaspal calls "Observing the competition to get a head start", actually, we were just there as Derek's moral support.... so yeah, reached tincehere around 8.40 A.M. or s, whico, s the freakin' school is so damn far... it's also isolated which is my kind of school actually, so we (me, Derek "The Kok" Kok and Richie) waited for Mrs. Jaspal to register Derek in, and made our way to the Meeting Hall.
Sat there for awhile, other schools were also already there, namely Chung Hwa, Kepong Baru, SMP Jalan Ipoh, Raja Ali, Jinjang, Sekolah Menengah Agama Kuala Lumpur(YES THOSE ASSES THAT killed the competition in EAK), and more. I fell asleep in the waiting proccess. Till the anouncement that the chief judge FRACTURED HER LEG and therefore, won't be able to show up...geez, what kind of a sorry-ass excuse is that? So they called up a replacement, and as we waited, they gave all of us an early reccess.
So Derek and Mrs. Jaspal had free food, which what Derek claimed to be a "piece of shit", but me and Richie(yes, you heard me right, Richie, as in the guy who got the highest marks for English) bought some food, and DAMN the portions are small... I mean I know it's a girl's school...but this is just profit since a bowl of Laksa costs 1 buck, but I couldn't help myself, so I got seconds, since the Laksa was so damn good, Richie got seconds too, and ate a hash brow to ensure that we're full. By the way, the spectators for Chong Hwa were Nathalie and Lynn...yes, NATHALIE AND LYNN, as in two of the girls from the NST workshop. 'Tis is a small world after all...
So, stomachs are full, judges are ready, me and Richie sat next to Nat and Lynn, spectators are watching...FINALLY at like....9 something AM, the competition starts.... and here's my opinion on the speakers....
1st speaker: She's one of those souless dolls who justs creeps me out...ugh...seriously... so...FAIL
2nd speaker(CHONG HWA): Girl, we hear you, don't need to shout at us.... =.=lll
3rd speaker: Grammar needs touching up, but it's a so-so
4th speaker (Sekolah Menengah Agama Kuala Lumpur): Dude, you broke the rules by holding point cards, so you sir...FAIL
5th speaker( RAJA ALI): Interesting choice of topic; about how exams suck, that's an automatic win, but maybe it sounded unformal, great speech none the less.
6th speaker (DUMPSHIT- I mean MAXWELL): Dude, you're the best one so far for the prepared speech, seriously, but just got too random at the 2nd speech.
7th speaker: Well....you just sounded like a Japanese guy trying to speak English, sorry.... oh and that thing you said about your girlfriend...GENIUS
8th speaker(JINJANG): Talking about MJ huh....dude, I just hate you for looking like a fag....you arrogant loser....
9th Speaker: Bad grammar...'nuff said...
10th speaker (SMP): She's one of the girls from SMP's debate team, well done in the speeches, seriously.
11th speaker (ST. MARY): ah....AIYO...MALU DE (title of her speech) She's a great speaker...but mixed the languages, and went too off topic on the 2nd speech....
12th speaker: Ms. Emotional...seriously...she almost made some people cry with her 2nd speech...
I don't know some of the schools they come from....so yeah, anyways....I was making jokes in the audience since I was so damn bored..... by the way, those remarks are not ALL my doing..... Derek and Mrs. Jaspal said some of em...I just apply them here.
And the top 3 winners are.....
1st: Sekolah Menengah Perempuan Jalan Ipoh
2nd: SMK Maxwell
3rd: St. Mary
So in the end of the day, everyone is satisfied, took snapshots of the winners, said farewells and the rest is in silence...

POINT OF INFORMATION!! DENIED, SIR!!
Well, today when I was doing my usual prefect-ish duties at school, some dude came and said a teacher was lookin' for me, this teacher was the debating team adviser, so I KNEW something fishy was going on. So I told him to wait, since I had to raise the national flag and state flag for teh songs during assembly. Not too soon, Derek Kok came and said "Ah! There you are Mr. Law (Yes, he calls me that, pronouncing Law(which was pronounced Lau) as Law, he said it sounded cool, so.....whatever. Then I told him to wait too. After I raised the 2 damn flags, I just did a mad dash after grabbing my bag and err...stuff to the parking lot. Turns out, I'm being dragged in to witness the state debating championship finals along with Mogan, Jaques Cleousauu, Kreeshan and Derek. Since I'm also already forcefully registered as a debater for SMK dumpshit- I mean MAXWELL. So, the teacher showed up, and we rode the car to SMK Kiamas, which was quite nearby....
So we reached the joint, and as USUAL, it looks better than MAxwell..... A LOT BETTER. Huge assembly hall with a killer sound system, clean enviroment, nice green field, clean canteen.... and what not. So, We waited for the hours to pass by as the debaters got ready. And what couldn't be better than random crap to pass our miserable time :D So we talked about nonsense after nonsense. So after about 1 hour + of bullshit, we finally enter the auditorium.
So well, not really suspected so little amount of spectators, but whatever. So we waited...(AGAIN!) and waited, waited..... AND waited till the guest of honor to arrive. (V.I.P.s always late....) And so, after the breif introduction all all, the battle begins with SMK Kepong Baru in the Goverment corner and SM (P) Jalan Ipoh on the Opposition corner, so leeeeeeeeeeeet's RUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! The Motion for the debate : Society does not reap from the investment of sports.
So arguements after arguments with the famous "POINT OF INFORMATION!!!" and with the reply "DENIED!" being tossed around back and forth for almost an hour, it has finally been settled. Kepong Baru won with their style instead of points since they just swayed too far from the motion. SMP has points, but they repeated them too much, and their strategy was scrpited, the judges saw thru that, Derek says. I shrugged it off, and in to time, it was food time!
Ate some more good food from a different school, not even crossing the RM1 limit, which is cheap and finger lickin' good. After that, we went back to SMK dumpshit via the teacher's car, just in time for dismissal...as usual.

Results for Career Explorarion(EAK) and SMK Raja Abdullah
The results for the EAK presentation.......lost......epic lost.....
Why? We had lots of problems, I'll list em' down:
~ Our interview with the person who's career we've picked was delayed till a week before presentation day, resulted in much loss of precious info since she was busy with a new client.
~ We were just too tired from making the documentation and perfecting our slides. Working non-stop for a week.
~ Ameer was too bossy and hogged the laptop while doing the preperations, and Ameer is a REALLY lazy guy, he didn't do much with the laptop. And being a narcassist, he thinks HE calls the shots, Me, Honn Pann and Mogan wanted to do the whole thing in English which sounds way more cooler than BM, but since the rule says "One Language Only" we had no choice, which resulted in us blurring during the presentation, and making our grammar mixed with English terms.
~ Not enough slides. There was just not enough slides to elaborate on. Other teams like St. Mary had 35 slides with flash coding...stuff which I had no time to learn up, if not we could have done better.
~ Lack of videos. Honn Pann's hands were shaking during the taping which resulted in bad quality videos of our experience there, a crucial point for the presentation.
~ Not interesting enough. Our presentation was dull, and flat. And the slideshow I made was made by Windows Movie Maker, which is shitty, crashing every 10 minutes or so. The winners (SMK Agama Kuala Lumpur) used Sony Vegas Pro, which can make anything as dull as a interview video look like a motion picture from Paramount.
~ Speech was not good. We were talking like we were reading from a book during our presentation, me and Mogan tried, but it didn't help much. Honn Pann was blurring and UBER nervous, Ameer used a lazy tone, I blocked the judges' view( Im fat....DUH!) and Mogan was just panicking.
All in all, we lost, but learnt alot of stuff, so Maxwell has to try next year....seriously. And we are not trying to win it for Maxwell....NEVER, we're doing it for OURSELVES. But Maxwell SUPRISINGLY won the Sketch competition, by sketch I don't mean drawing sketch, but the "acting" kind of sketch.
And the Cloth Drawing competition members....Im sorry, you guys didn't get a placing, I dunno why, but ours looked great. And about the poster competition, I didn't win(of course....my poster is half-assed, remember?) but they didn't even bother to hang it up! what the hell????
And this prize giving/closing ceremony was held in SMK Raja Abdullah. The school's beautiful! Their assembly hall is just awesome, they have a huge field too! The enviroment is clean, with lush greenery everywhere. And the cantten? Awesome, not as great as Chong Hwa's food choice and surroundings, but the food was cheap and delicious, the service was good. And that Kueh Teow Goreng was just top notch! How much it cost? RM 1.00! a buck for a awesome plate of Kueh Teow! And drinks? I bought the syrup for 80 cents......80 cents!
I gotta say, SMK Raja Abdullah is a decent place, and the girls.... well the Hotness ratio wasn't as sky-high as Chong Hwa's but there are pretty girls^^
And there's someone I loathe there.... Retarted Scientist Wannabe Guy from SMK Raja Ali (for just being a total crazy guy, and screaming at the prize giving ceremony....)
Ameer was lucky...... he got a snap shot of 2 hawt girls! They volunteered! He was catching a candid shot of Honn Pann and Mogan, then the 2 girls used body language to say "What? wanna take a picture of us? Go ahead^^ " Ameer hesitated, but gave into tempation at last....with MY motivation :P

About SMJK Chong Hwa...
Well yes guys, I went there for a poster drawing competition(I suck at drawing posters.....) I was forced to enter. Me and 4 others actually. The other 4 were in a cloth poster competition in a group.
So we left the dump- I mean school at about 7AM-ish and we had some fun conversations in the counselor's car. Then there it was, SMJK Chong Hwa, to be frank...the front of the school looked really....creepy, I and abbandoned opera house.... but as soon as we were about to enter our designated areas....and as soon as we stepped into the inner entrance...I was like..."DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this joint is awesome!" The school looks like any student's fantasy...... it was huge! but since the competition was starting soon, I didn't get the chance to look at other stuff at that time.
So ok, I was in the competition....I was like "no girls, please! no girls in the competition" Why? cuz girls seem to have this built-in Nvidia Ge-force/ATI Radeon creativity cards built into their brains... so when I look around me, I was like "Holy......" The room....was full of girls from other schools, there were only 2 or 3 guys.....including me. So the competition started, I was struggling since I made the poster layout for 2 pople to finish, onlly to find out the poster competition is a solo ordeal. So I made this half-assed poster, which kinda seemed cool if I had a little more equipment....since I thought it would be 2 pople, I only brought some water color and my drawing pen.
So after that was over, I proceeded to wash my hands and stuff at the canteen tap, as soon as I saw the canteen, I was like..."DAMN!!!!!!!!!! that's a huge canteen!" but I had no time to explore it yet, since I had to submit my poster and pack up. After that, I went to see whether Xing and the others were done yet... yes, Xing was ALSO forced. So I saw what they did and I was like "Wow!!!!" They took my layout that I did for them and made it 2 times better. The anime characters as the careers in Technology and Science (since the theme of the competition was "Science and Technology, a crucial source of the country's economy") were well enlarged thanks to another anime artist in the midst of their group.
So they finished the cloth in the nick of time, I saw their exhausted faces, and greeted them with a smile and shrug. And they shook their heads, signaling that they weren't satisfied. But I still think it looked good. It has potential to be among the top 5. So no worries, guys! So after that, the counselor gave us each 3 bucks, we thought it was HER cash, but it was the zone's it's standard issue pocket money.
So as the 3 of us (the other 2 went ahead) turned our heads and started walking.....a sight we all were waiting for came unexpectedly.....girls......360 degrees of girls, no guys...just GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS. We were all dumbfounded and felt kinda out of place since for some reason the guys are off to somewhere and only girls, not just girls....97% of em' we're HAWT!*ahem* were the only ones there. But we just walked briskly towards the canteen to get our breakfast/lunch or as the new "hip" lingo says, Brunch. And we found that the food variety here is just wow......everything from Malay, Chinese, Indian to western food, it's all there! Unlike Maxwell's pathetic choice of food. They are so limited I can list em' down for ya'...
Almost flavourless Nasi Goreng
Nasi Lemak without the special rice they use.
Badly fried Telur Goreng
small, really small Ayam Goreng
Tasty Keropok Lekor
Pathetic Nuggets
Same as the above but even smaller Nugget Sticks
Some abomination that consist of Gardenia bread, with curry filling and then fried with an egg.
Roti Canai, drowned in curry
Oily Mee Goreng
Cold Meehon Goreng
Even colder Kueh Tiao Goreng
Basically it's the same stuff in Maxwell everyday.... but when in Chong Hwa, me and Xing just went for the Oh-so-delicious fresh made Nasi Pataya, the high-quality Hash Brow and this creative hybrid of a hot-dog wraped nicely in a egg...mmmmm.....I miss the food there.
After we satisfied our urge for good food, we sat awhile and saw that the school, was even BIGGER, there was a multi-purpose cement court outdoors as well as an indoors one! and a nicely made walk-way with a mini flower orchard, a REALLY well-kept one. So the 3 of us had a small conversation on how much we want to be in this school, if it wasn't for the high requirements and the chinese subjects.
Then, we left the sanctuary we call SMJK Chong Hwa with exhausted bodies but mere bliss in mind, because we finally expirienced a great school. The 5 of us gathered together in the indoor court, and made our way to the parking lot/field and departed to SMK dumpshit- O.O I mean...Maxwell.
So we left the dump- I mean school at about 7AM-ish and we had some fun conversations in the counselor's car. Then there it was, SMJK Chong Hwa, to be frank...the front of the school looked really....creepy, I and abbandoned opera house.... but as soon as we were about to enter our designated areas....and as soon as we stepped into the inner entrance...I was like..."DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this joint is awesome!" The school looks like any student's fantasy...... it was huge! but since the competition was starting soon, I didn't get the chance to look at other stuff at that time.
So ok, I was in the competition....I was like "no girls, please! no girls in the competition" Why? cuz girls seem to have this built-in Nvidia Ge-force/ATI Radeon creativity cards built into their brains... so when I look around me, I was like "Holy......" The room....was full of girls from other schools, there were only 2 or 3 guys.....including me. So the competition started, I was struggling since I made the poster layout for 2 pople to finish, onlly to find out the poster competition is a solo ordeal. So I made this half-assed poster, which kinda seemed cool if I had a little more equipment....since I thought it would be 2 pople, I only brought some water color and my drawing pen.
