Reminiscence

24th July 2007 was the date when I first had the idea to keep a journal - the place where I wrote about almost everything which happened at school, about how I felt and how I dealt with them.

The first sentence I had in the journal :
"Quite a good day in class although it rained all the time. I'll tell you something, today's maybe the best day ever!" I continued with some (irrelevant) stories about the funny things which happened that day.

Little did I know that it wasn't my best day ever. There were still a lot to come. Being in the same school for five years, it felt like I've grown up because of the moments I had there. Not returning to school for the new terms next year - that's something sad to think about.

Merry Christmas

And now presenting you one of my favourites...

Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th’angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ, by highest Heav’n adored;
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time, behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th’incarnate Deity,
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.

Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heav’nly Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris’n with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die.
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Me just love the beautiful lyrics :)

EXTREMELY Bored!

I've done everything - logging in and out from facebook, read my Harry Potter novel (until I think that's enough for today), log in to YouTube (watched almost all of the videos that I should watch), played some games (got really bored too), so what do you think I should do now?

None of my friends are on chat, I need someone to kill this boredom with me. Gahh~ I miss going to school. I miss the laughter I had with my friends, I miss the feeling of STRESS, I miss homeworks, I miss cramming for exams. I miss everything which I had left behind!

I'll be insane if I stay in this torturing condition for another few months. When I was so busy studying (before SPM), I always wanted to play the guitar, waste some time on YouTube, do things which will keep me away from the books - but now, (maybe because I did manage to keep myself away from those stuffs for quite a long time) I feel that I'm not really in to it anymore.

Too bad I have too much time to waste but nothing too enjoyable to do.

(And yeah I did thought of studying back the past topics to kill time).

I miss school! :(

Kitty Now and Then

When boredom strikes...

The Christmas Hope

Awesome Christmas movie I watched on tv last night! I love movies about families. And yeah, what made me say this is an awesome movie is because it made me cry a few times.

Ah, it's been a long time since I last watched a really good movie like this.

Let the Projects Begin!

NOW :)

I have a very long list on what to do (planned months before SPM). I'm totally free, got nothing to do, no where to go, so here it goes:

1. Start writing my story. (The one I had in my brain since 2008 but never had the time to start 'officially').

2. Read the second hand Harry Potter novel which I bought from one of my friends. Dirt-cheap fellas!

3. Read, read and read. Time factor is not an excuse anymore.

4. This time I'm gonna conquer fingerstyle guitar, seriously!

5. And etc. etc.

End of post.

Changed!

Changed the guitar strings after buying a complete set of strings.

Comments:

Will certainly never ever buy that stuff from the same music store anymore. Never again.

Well, they've gone eco-friendly with a weird step - "sorry, we don't have plastic bags" and no receipt? Huyoh!

One more thing: Bad service.

Enough said.

The Final Chapter

After five years, five dramatic, exciting, challenging, fun and memorable years, here it came.

THE FINAL CHAPTER!

The doors. Of the hall.

A picture tells a thousand words.

Read this one for me please.

The dustbin!

I love this thing, it knew how to pose. Micro effect rules!

I'll miss you, school :(

New Template

...ruined my blog!

I am so annoyed.

Neighbours and SPM

I was inspired to write about this just before I close my eyes every night before having to face an SPM paper the next day. Wow. Really complex sentence.

My neighbours did the most bizarre things during my exam period.

My back door neighbour has kids who can't stop screaming. They screamed when I went back home waiting for my second BM paper. They scream all evening. Yes, those kids have serious problems. To make matters worse my bedroom (which is also my study room) is facing their back door. Not even 100 metres apart I tell you. The only solution: I slammed my windows.

I slept around 9 every night before a paper. That didn't mean I slept soundly. One night, (no, it was two nights actually) someone was using the mortar and pestle (LOL, lesung batu) in the middle of the night. Yes, around 11pm-12am. This time, I forgave that annoying fellow and didn't slam my windows.

The guys who rent the house beside my back door neighbour sing (very loudly) around 6pm-7pm. C'mon! I REVISE during that time. No actions taken to counter-attack. LOL.

Cigarette smoke before I go to bed? OOI! NO THANKS! Even my dad doesn't smoke. Why should you share it with me you *******. Smoke in your own house lah! Why should you pollute the fresh night air?? Okay,this time I did not tolerate. I slammed my windows and yelled BAU! and made that disgusting sound of an old man getting rid of his phlgem.

That was my SPM story.

Enough said eh?

SPM IS OVERRRR!!!

I can't believe it.

39 Days To Go

Yes, instead of "youth", it's all about SPM.

It's My "Final Score" Now

Nothing Happened

Really. I officially tarik balik my kata-kata posted in my entry last Sunday.

We're back to normal. Not difficult (at all) to do so.

Hello October, Goodbye Classroom

We failed to pay for the rental fees. As a result, they kicked us out of the classroom.

NO. That was not what had happened this morning. We had to bid farewell to our beloved maroon-ish classroom to leave it into the hands of Form 3 students who are going to sit for their PMR. If you saw me this morning, ehem, I was the one who hugged my table emotionally, I was also the one who felt the texture of the blackboards with the palms of my hands and gazed at the bright morning sky melancholically. Okay, enough with the insanity.

In a shorter sentence:
We moved to another classroom situated much nearer to the toilet, canteen and lab.

Now that we're in a new place, a weird feeling creeps in me. We had fun this morning - laughing, taking pictures and doing other sorts of fun stuffs. Why do such fun moments never seem to appear when we were much free, I mean during our Form 4? Everytime I grin, something else passes through my mind. SPM.

Life in Form 5 is (one of) the most beautiful moments in my life so far. To balance the fun and effort would be a sweet success from now on.

Back to chemistry notes. Good night.

With Only 57 Days Left

...life is getting more dramatic. I thought everything was going to be fun - thinking that this path is diverging. However, it's sad to think that some bonds drift away without our realization. Towards the end of school life, I've discovered that I really can't walk this path without camaraderie.

Recently there are some misunderstandings between people around me and I think it involves me as well, although I'm not involved at all in the drama. Honestly, it's sad. When it happens so close to me, now I understand certain songs that say "I want to know but I don't want to ask". Certain confessions do cause a wreckage in a friendship built so long. What a waste. All the funny moments spent now seems meaningless. Well that is what's happening between two of my friends at school. And I feel like I'm dragged into this crap. Hey people, c'mon! I'm innocent!

My 2nd trial exam is coming soon. This is more important right now compared to the trivial matters around me which is none of my business.

Yesterday we had a replacement class. The great part was the basketball game lol. I feel the pain in my muscles right now. What else can I say? The game looked more like a rugby game.

You see, the drama is going on. Will I endure in this situation till the end? Idk. The 10 subjects are of the utmost importance. I don't need dramas. Just act around me, I don't care. Go on.

As usual, nobody is going to understand this post. I purposely made the sentences sound confusing.

This Holiday is Killing Me

I miss school :(

I have a lot of EST homework, but I don't know where and how to start.

I want to revise, but distractions are everywhere.

Nights and mornings are so cold. I thought they said the Earth is getting warmer.

I need to go to school.

BODYSLAM is AWESOME!

I've lost track of what's new in the Thai music industry since I didn't log in to my YouTube account for one month (I did log in to favourite a video about redox reaction haha - and I didn't dare to stay there viewing Thai MVs because I would sure end up there for hours).

Just now I came across Bodyslam's latest songs from their latest album and OH I LOVE 'EM!!

However, I didn't dare to get the chords and lyrics. I need to spare some space in my brain for things like breathing mechanism of a fish and so on and so forth. Lol.

I'm not an avid fan of Bodayslam but I love how their songs create a motivational feeling inside me (yeah like their song Kwahm Cheua). Lovely lyrics. Ohh they sure are AWESOME!!!

p/s: thanks to anothaidara for the subs :)

History Created Today!

For the first time in my life, I mean for the first time since I played guitar, I officially broke a guitar string. However, the funny thing is the guitar isn't mine.

Luckily Mav didn't get angry (or if he really was, luckily he didn't show that he was angry).

Counting the Days

It's coming towards the end of August. At this point, there are a lot of mixed feelings inside me. Next month will be the month to observe more, listen more, think more and feel more - because I'm coming towards my final days of school years in less than just 90 days to go.

I know the moments will get more exciting, more emotional, more intense and most important of all they're sure going to be the most memorable period in my school life. It happens every year. When it comes to the end of the year, I will have a totally different feeling from what I thought of in the beginning of the year. Jokes get funnier, bonds get closer and ordinary small things make me think big.



I'm ready for the weeks and months to come. Even though this path is diverging, it doesn't mean that the memories will be gone.

After One Year

I discovered songs by Nuvo a year ago and since then I've been a fan of them. I love the guitar solos of their songs, I love their music, the lyrics - in fact I think that I love them more compared to any other Thai bands.

And today, I've just found out that Nuvo will perform a concert tour in USA! How cool is that? I wish I could come. You can see my wishlist - one of the things listed is that I want to be in any of Nuvo's concerts. That's a too impossible dream. Way too impossible.

Here's the link to the website of their concert tour http://www.nuvoinusa.com/index.html Well, I guess there will be pictures of them performing uploaded soon after the concert. That's one great thing to wait for ;)

How I hope they have more of fans in Malaysia. :(

...and in case Joe or Kong are Google-ing about themselves (like I always do), I wish to say - Here's one little 17 year old fan of Nuvo in Malaysia! You guys are so cool~ Nuvo is one of the greatest bands in Thailand! :)

Latest News

What I love about dinners is live bands. Because dinners = live band + eating. It's a good equation don't you think so?

I'm wondering whether I should get an electric guitar or keyboards first if I had the money~

My SPM trial has just ended, so to be honest this weekend I won't be burying my nose in my reference book(s).

I've develop some interest in baroque/classical music. Don't be shocked, because since the mid year exam I've been listening to this kind of music.

One of my targets has already been achieved. Oh I love you EST :)

I think I'm not gonna make it for Physics this time. This time. Only.

Not blogging for a long time made my language bad and my ideas freeze. I think I have nothing much to say. Goodbye for now.

Fear

"What if.." questions are killing me.

But I have to continue this battle. Confidently.

One more week to go.

I have to get rid of this feeling. NOW.

A Reason Not to Smile

Currently fighting an inner-conflict. I was kidding. I still can smile.

Something is really annoying this week. It's so annoying that I can't stop thinking of it. I won't tell here specifically about it, but let me say it's so extremely annoying~

Let's move on. I'm currently juggling between revision, homework and guess what? Songwriting. With totally zero music theory inside my cerebrum, plus my not-so-melodious vocals, and...my limited guitar skills, I don't think it'll be a beautiful song. But who cares. Composing lyrics is a fun and relaxing thing to do. Here's one of the verses:

The fluffy white clouds,
The laughter and the shouts,
The smiles on our faces
Bring me back to those places..

I got the inspiration during our kerja taman for Sivik. :)

p/s: Going to school tomorrow!
...and Arthit Ching Duang on tv!!

Reasons to Smile (Today)

God's blessings are in all sorts of ways. Maybe sometimes we overlook on the small things which can make us smile, maybe sometimes we're just lazy to think much about the beauty of blessings we receive everyday.

There are a lot of reasons to make me smile, grin and laugh today.

During our English Language lesson we had a great time singing "Waka Waka" accompanied by two pieces of guitars. Till now, that song is still ringing inside my head. Gab and Arbut played the guitars, Ghee Seng singing cheerfully, the other boys followed, we girls waved our hands and followed throughout the chorus. I felt disappointed that we didn't record it, we just wished we could. Words can never reflect the atmosphere of that moment. I felt something, something hard to explain - :') Thank you very much, Miss Roseline for today's English lesson. It was totally unforgettable.

I brought my guitar (for the second week now) to play during ISCF. There were another three pieces of guitar so it was more lively. Plus, the other girl (who I don't know what her name is) played so far beyond my ability. She's really awesome~ After that, we had a brief talk about 'blessings' so that pretty much explains why my intro of this post starts like that :)

Then, there was the scorching sun. 1.45 pm sitting at the canteen, plus without even taking an afternoon bath is something torturing, I have to admit. Sleepy, hungry, bored and all sorts of feelings mixed inside my mind. However, one thing for sure was that I admired the things around me today. The bright sky, the beautiful fluffy clouds, everything was beautiful. After a short while, one of my friends spotted Cikgu Paul (our Sivik teacher) - he was standing so far from us that we all denied it was him. After a brief argument, off we went to see him. Obviously, it was really him.

Our job was to replant the grass to another location situated in front of Blok 8, that's metres and metres away from Blok 3. The glamour name of this job: KERJA TAMAN, sometimes we just get it mixed up with "Kerja Amal" but who cares. It wasn't an easy job to do. If you're not sweating it means that you weren't even there. I have pretty much evidence to say that it wasn't easy. Not all of our classmates came. Many people try to avoid it.

Yet, there are blessings in such activity. We were exhausted, our faces did turn red, our hands do hurt but in turn, we had a memorable moment. A great one. There were intervals between work, jokes, work, photo-taking, work and so on and so forth. Cikgu Paul brought along his DSLR camera. We took gazillions of group photos with backgrounds of nature, one photo had our beloved Blok 8 as the background (I suggested so, and the teacher seemed to like my idea). Ah, you know that I dream of a DSLR camera. Photography is awesome.

There were "kangaroo jokes", "geng pongkes" etc. I am sure the boys will upload our photos soon on FB. Then I think I'll put some here ;)

Today, I've learnt a lot of lessons. No matter what kind of person I'll be tomorrow, no matter where I'll end up after schooling, I will never ever forget this day. For I have a lot of reasons to smile today :) [Aww, I'm being melancholic].

Thank you, LORD.

Hypocrisy

[I wrote this yesterday, 8th July 2010, 2.00pm]

Situation 1: Some people in the class were talking bad about A. Then not even an hour later, you saw them saying "hi" to A with a friendly smile.

Situation 2: C and D were gossiping about A. You went online that same day and logged in to Facebook . Then, you saw C commenting on A's status with a very friendly manner as if C likes A.


I bet these two situations are very common in our lives. I've encountered such things almost everyday. It's weird how people can act as if they didn't say anything bad (behind) the same person they passed by and said "hi" to. It's scary if you think too much about it. However, I find that hypocrisy is a fun thing sometimes. Consider this situation:

Situation 3: A class of 30+students were inside the computer lab (without a teacher). As you know, it's an enclosed room with air-conds so no matter how loud you talk, people outside won't hear you (I guess so). Back to the situation. One of the students, (let me call him G *bukan nama sebenar) was asking the whole class about their opinion regarding the planned class t-shirt. Everyone (not really) was on top of their voices arguing on the colour. Some were 'skiing' on the slippery tiled-floor (which is so fun to do).
Suddenly, the saw a shadow on the windows. G quickly said "Okay, case closed!" although the discussion wasn't even over yet! Everybody returned to their respective seats. One or two persons held their books (as if they were diligently reading). In a blink of an eye, the class turned silent. The teacher came in. They stood up, saying "Good morning, teacher!" with a mischievous smile on their faces.

Now you see, hypocrisy really is fun in certain situations.
We pretty much practise hypocrisy, don't we?? XD

A Great Day to be Remembered!

Today is just awesome! School was great till the final bell, I enjoyed myself a lot today and it seems that I've forgotten all the tiredness I had during the start of the week.

First of all, two of our teachers didn't enter the class - so after some reading (and I felt bored of reading after some time) I decided to play Bingo with Epi. That sure have brought back good memories to us. It's been ages since I had my last Bingo game. We managed to attract other friends to join - Dila, Harvie, Mav~ haha, but after a while I felt bored too :D

I had photo-taking sessions for BM Club and Volleyball Club, so I wasn't really in the class after that. Angela and me then went straightly to the koperasi for recess - haha because there was a MEGA sale. My school's koperasi is the best in the world! It's like a mini hypermarket for the students. You can't even move or drag your feet when you are in the crowd.

This is the best part of today: FIRE DRILL! For me, this stuff is really a good memory to be remembered during my final year at this school. I mean, wow, for 5 years here..I can't believe that today's the first time we had a fire drill. The atmosphere was great! :")

Again, I came for ISCF today, but there's a difference in me. I brought along my guitar. I played. I sang, I felt the spirit in me. I was shaking- today I am no more a bedroom guitarist. I am officially not a lonely guitarist anymore. With my minimum skills (I didn't say that, Cikgu Lily did) :D I played 3 songs in front of 30+ people. I will continue to do so and I'm sure I will improve for God has given me this potential (Thanks to Cikgu Lily for her encouraging words).

So now, shall you excuse me for a while. I NEED to spend 30 minutes in front of the TV to watch Slam Dunk.

(Really) Fast Update

First of all, I am not on-lining for fun.

Add Maths Project work leaves a huge impact in my brain. I feel the stresssssss of doing this kind of stuff which I pretty much enjoyed during my junior secondary days. Yeah, the folio days.

Okay, so my project work is pretty much 65% completed. I missed my evening nap. I'm here in front of the laptop just browsing stuffs of Add Maths. Well, now I realise the Internet has its own advantages after all.

School has been great the past few days. A lot of laughter and jokes after 3 weeks not seeing each other. My worries for Mid - Year Exam has ended, all of the papers have been returned. As usual my lowest mark still goes to Add Maths and ironically my highest mark goes to Maths. My English essay was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It turned out that my teacher liked the story hahaha. I fact my English marks was better than my BM marks.

I played basketball last Monday - something I really wanted to do after all the days of cramming. Now that the MYE has passed, I have a greater agenda next. Trials on August. Let's just wait and see - and give out the best too.

As I said just now, this is a really fast update.

*Sigh*

Back to school tomorrow. No more sleeping at 4am.

The worst thing is that I will have to say hello to my Mid Year Exam results. There's no other feeling similar to this. The fear, the oh-no-what-will-I-get-for-AddMaths feeling is creeping inside me. Well, I am so not worrying about stuffs like Add Maths and Chemistry because now it feels like I'm used to it. What I worry most is my English essay. Honestly, I'm not ready to see that paper.

My hopes after this is that to speed up my progress because SPM is getting closer and closer to me. No more running away like I used to do when I was in Form 4. I have to admit, I ran away when I couldn't understand anything. Now, I know some teachers might think it's impossible for people like me to still dream for 10A+. But the word impossible is only inside the dictionary of fools, so now with hope and determination, and also faith - this second term I will take out the best of me. I'll strive to do the best. I'll struggle to see the progress, but at the same I'll enjoy my final moments of schooldays.

Don't get me wrong. I was not on-lining. Someone left the laptop vacant, so I took the chance to update my blog for the final time this holiday.

Bye for now.

The New Templates

Uuuuuu...I love the new templates on Blogger. Three or four of them really did catch my attention, but after some consideration I think I should not change it now. Changing this old boring template will just be cool, but I realise more trouble will say hi to me after that. Trouble number 1 will be the fonts (I used to use colourful fonts back in 1-2 years ago -->haha how childish). If I change the template to white the previous posts in yellow and other light colours will not be readable.

I like the fact that the new templates make the whole blog a lot neater and wider. I certainly will change this template someday, but not now.

June Photo

Kampung Sky. The sky is always beautiful.

Most beautiful pic I've ever taken, I think.

The Delayed Post...

I went to Sibu on the 1st June, obviously just for fun. (Thanks to my limited skills of putting a grumpy face emoticon here). You don't need to know the story.

This is the market. Wah, nice sentence huh?

And this is called a drum set. A live band came to make a performance, obviously. I think on the 31st May (sorry for my low memory capacity).

The drums and PA system. What's a PA system by the way? (Okay, I googled it).

Taarraaaa...this is the engkerumung, my second favourite musical instrument after guitar. Quite easy to improvise on. Fun too. However solo playing is not that fun. It should be accompanied with the others to make it more fun.

And finally, the Rubiks cubes. Mine with my cousins'.

So, what's all these pics? I thought it was supposed to centre on Gawai, drunk people, ngajat, kids wearing traditional costumes. Gah, sorry for my laziness. Waiting pics to upload is not so fun.

Latest Interests

I have a tendency to put on my attention to nerdy-looking guys (go on, laugh), so for some reason, the moment I saw this MV I thought I should give it a try. Plus it's a new song with 235 "likes" on YouTube haha. Catchy song, simple beat, cool solo, the guys' styles are also not too bad - and in the end I love this song.

Interest no.2 is still Slam Dunk, Rubik's cube and I think I'm also interested in revising lately. Ah, and also eating and evening naps - thanks to holidays.

My Problem(s)

It's hard for me to find/gain inspiration lately. Every time I click the "New Post" thingy, I don't know what to say/write/type. Thus, my blog is left with spider webs for months (not really).

After doing some investigation and post-mortem, I eventually came out with the ideas that:
1. The best place to get inspiration is when I am in the bathroom. Specifically, when I'm taking my bath. Perhaps the water that comes in contact with my head is the main factor.

2. I have no mood to think when I'm in front of the PC, because I have a lot of other things to do - viewing peoples' statuses on Facebook, checking out Thai songs on YouTube, learning Physics (seriously), wandering around on Wikipedia and so on and so forth.

3. Busyness. Say no-no to the Internet during school days.

4. No new stories-life is just the same like that everyday.


...and my top 5 places where I find something in my head to blog about:
1. Bathroom
2. In the car, I mean a moving car.
3. Parties, weddings, occasions, where there are lots of people to observe.
4. Shopping places. Maybe.
5. How can I forget about school??

As a conclusion, when I have the thing to say, I don't have the time and PC. When I have the time and PC, I don't have the thing to say. Hypothesis might be accepted.

Mid Year Holiday

After the tough struggle and countless nights of 5 hours sleep,
plus a thousand SMSes asking "which chapter will come out??"
After all the pimples appearing on the chin and cheeks,
It's finally holiday time! I can shout it out loud!

My failed attempt to create a poem.

Anyway, those four lines has pretty much summed up what has happened to me this May. I don't know since when exams became something scary to me. I used to looovvvee exams.

Now that the holidays have just started, I have a lot of agenda. First of all, I can't wait to get my hands on the engkerumung. Second, is to catch up on what I've left behind during the first term of school. There's only 178 days left till SPM. You know what I mean.

:(

หากว่า นายเจ็บฉันก็เจ็บ เพื่อนเจ็บฉันก็เจ็บเหมือนกัน
haak waa naai jep chan gor jep peuan jep chan gor jep meuan gan
If you are hurt, I am too. If a friend is hurt, I feel the pain too.

-Nai Jeb Chun Jeb, D2B.

Be strong, my friend.

Accelerating

Don't you think time is accelerating? It's coming towards the end of April and this month really did teach me how to manage my time in some sort of a special way.

Deadlines. They didn't really make me neither dead (literally) nor stressed out, in fact I grew up a lot this month. I learnt NOT to nap from 2 to 5 pm, I learnt how to show a keen interest in Additional Mathematics, I experienced my first time camping and sleeping in a crammed tent. I dealt with PEKAs and oral tests and memorising this and that. THIS is the true meaning of school life, I guess!

Big things happen in April.
- Kem Kepimpinan Pengawas
The experience of being blindfolded at night is second to none. Thanks to my 1st experience of camping

- Pertandingan Forum Remaja
Memorising was not that fun but the experience is the best part!

- Class photo
Formal pose and crazy pose. I enjoyed them both ^____^

- Last Songkran was my birthday ^__^


So I guess my studies and spirit of studying should accelerate too by now.
A year older, a year wiser. Hopefully.

Mid Term Holidays

2 things I think I've fallen in love with:

Rubik's cube
Slam Dunk

And I'm thinking of making this blog on hiatus till the end of SPM, same goes to my facebook profile and all my other accounts on various forums and websites. Me got a lot of time to waste after SPM, so I guess this is my last post for this holidays (and lets see how long I can endure in silence).

But no. I'll still go online sometimes I think :D

Lesson One (For Everyone!)

Forgive me if I translated some parts wrongly, but I'm pretty sure that about 80% of the things above are exactly (or more less) correct. Please check out the website, it has 5 pictures of him there (which I don't think I want to put here as they are copyrighted).

If you want more pictures of him, enter his name in Thai script - แบ็งค์ กฤษฎี พวงประยงค์ or just แบ็งค์ กฤษฎี (use Google search for better results). You can find a few pictures of him, I guarantee :)

I hope this helped you much! :D

Credits goes to www.ch7.com - I don't own any of the information stated above, I just translated it.

Enjoy! :) and thanks for visiting my blog and be the first person to ask something about Thai actors here!

Exams Kill Me

I said "Bring It On" in the previous post. But far I knew it was that tough.

I'm not ready to see the results. I can feel something - at least I can predict that it's not gonna be good. Gah, I hate this feeling. Why on earth did they came out with such idea.

I hate this week. It's too tiring.

And I hate music that is too loud. It kills my ears and that fellow has probably gone deaf until she can't even hear that I said please turn down the volume. Gah!~

I'm tired.

Summary of the Week

First of all, Language Month 2010 was great - and in fact it has always been great since I was in Form 1. I hate the fact that this is my final year in school. So next year there will not be any such thing as "language month" in my life.

I'm trying to limit my time on the PC so I'm going to think extra fast on what I should say today. School seems to be not so tiring this week, probably I'm already used to the busy routine of "the daily marathon" - I think I walk hundreds of kilometres in just one morning.

UK I is going to be on next Thursday.

Bring it on!

14th February

..and I'm on a marathon of watching:

12 parts, oh I have to say it left me laughing all the way. This is such a hilarious movie! I never imagined that finally after only a few months after its release, I am able to watch this even with English subtitles! Thanks a lot to AnothaiDara, who (surely) had made thousands of fans of this movie to smile all day long. I'm one of them.

You can read my previous post (months ago) about how I really wanted to watch this movie [here]. As I told you guys before, I'm not a huge fan of Ken Teeradej eventhough I have to say he's really charming. The movie itself has something special in it. I love the concept, the storyline, the humour. It's just an extremely superb movie, in fact now I think this is one of the best Thai movies I've even watched. So what are you guys waiting for? Go to YouTube and watch it NOW! You surely won't regret!

I messed around with photoscape while watching the final 2 parts. So I'll show you something:

Now I really hope that this picture has convinced you that this is a really hilarious movie! :p

Public Speaking Competiton 2010

...for the language month in my school.

If you thought that I was representing my school, that would be a great joke. Until now, I just can't fight my nervousness. My hands were damn shaking and I just can't stop it. How I wish I had enough confidence.

...And I guessed I've chosen the wrong topic. Everyone was talking about huge stuffs such as pollution, smoking, this and that with all sorts of statistics, but my script seems to be the odd one out. I have to say it was actually quite boring and lame.

However...it's not just about winning that you want to join a competition. The participation is most of the time much more important. That's what Mr. W said. Yep, I love stuffs like this because the truth is, I am challenging myself indirectly to face this some sort of challenge. In simpler words, I don't want to run away from things like this. I want to face it. I also wanted to see how much confidence have I gained after all this while. The answer to my question is: I'm still the same. I've not improved yet in terms of confidence. My ears felt like burning. I just don't know why certain people can really relax without feeling nervous.

I was the 5th contestant out of 14. I didn't gain any position. (Haha) and I'm actually betul-betul laughing to myself right now. If you know who I am, I'm sure that you know how optimistic am I. I love competitions because it teaches us how to accept defeat. I don't mind, really, because the winners deserved it. They were awesome! My classmate, Su Nyuk, got 2nd place and I'm proud that at least a person from my class was able to cover malu for the other Form 5 contestants. [Giggling].

So that pretty much sums up my day today. A lovely Thursday, I have to say.

...and this is one of the factors making it such a lovely Thursday :p

It's Friday!

Finally here comes another Friday.

Things didn't get so cool in school. Fortunately I was able to cope with all of those trivial things. I have to admit it's tiring. It feels like it's never ending. Climbing up the stairs to the 3rd floor five days in a week for a few times a day is enough to burn my calories. The rest, I'm sure you know about it. Yes, it's tiring, but I always say to myself. THIS is the TRUE meaning of going to school. Yeah! (Now that sounds funny to me).

I joined ISCF again today. Something that I missed for about one and a half year. I'm glad that I did so. I find peace in mind and new hopes. In one hour, my anger, my already-composed-in-my-head blog post about how I feel cranky and angry about X, completely vanished. Mr. Song is excellent in sharing God's words. He's one of the teachers who I truly admire.

Jamming in the class was great, eventhough later there was an interruption. I sang my voice out for Suci Dalam Debu, who cares if my fellow classmates think that I'm gila. It's just too fun that I can't resist to do so.

The best thing about today is the jualan koperasi or so-called mega sale! Oh you never know how much I love the food there.

That sums up my Friday for this week.

...and oh, have I told you that I'll have to go to school tomorrow?
This adventure seems to be endless.

[In the mood of listening to Endless Love, the best English song ever!]

Too Stressed...Too Serious

Not me.
At least I'm (almost) perfectly happy (at this moment). [Yeah, like in Skunk's song, "Stench"].

A really challenging week, I have to say. Gah~ I don't know how long will I make it or even survive in this situation. Now I think Endure in Silence is all about complaints regarding someone being too serious. No, I would not like that to happen. However, sadly, I don't know to who should I express these thoughts and opinions. Express it to a friend in school, people will say I'm gossiping. Keep it in my head, I'll surely be insane. So here I am.

(After taking a plate of rice + chicken curry).

Now allow me to continue. "That person" is too serious. Extremely. I don't know what to do.

Ah, just forget about it.
I don't want to end up having a bad relationship with this person.
It's just the way "that person" is.
How I hope "that person" takes some time to relax. It's not that difficult to do so.

We're just 17. That's what matters most.

[What a very unhealthy lifestyle, eating in front of the pc].

Secretary

Haha. Seems to be my luck this year.

My Achievements This Week

- didn't touch and play my guitar for 3 days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)

- didn't sing / listen to a Thai song for 2 days (I think so)

- didn't take an evening nap for 3 days. The 4th day for only 30 mins. Quite okay I guess.

- completed my Add Maths homework (except 2 questions that I could not answer) without doing a single bit in class the other day.

- went to bed at 9.45pm for 3 days, after finishing ALL my homework.

Yeah, this challenge is cool. Next time let it be "for 5 days". ^^

Rain

I am not talking about that Korean dude. I'm talking about the real rain.

It rained a lot these past few days. Nights are so cold. I felt lazy to get up of bed to face the shower. Sadly it's not holiday time anymore now. If it still is, I'll be probably sleeping for the whole day. Classes were gloomy. Voices of teachers sinked in the sound of the downpour. I can't remember on which day it started to rain early in the morning, and oh, I hate walking in the rain as early as 6.20am.

Yesterday my shoes were soaked when I was on my way to the volleyball club meeting. I had to dry 'em up under the fan last night. One of my teachers said it's gonna rain for 3 days, but luckily it didn't. It didn't rain today!

On the first day it was raining in the morning, I remembered about Seasons Change. I remembered Boyd's song. Then I suddenly felt a sense of appreciation towards the rain. The song is so true. Here's the chorus:

Just put up with the time when it is drizzling

At least it enables us to see the differences

By the time the rain has subsided, the sky will brighten up and make us realise

To what extent it is worthwhile to be awaiting

Come On...

...Do You Really Have to be THAT Serious??

Dedicated to someone I know. Oh boy, why can't certain people just relax a little bit rather than yelling at others, telling others the right thing to do, repeating the same things over and over again almost everyday and etc. etc. Gah!~

I am not complaining. I am certainly not judging. I only want to see happy faces, not gloomy ones standing in front of someone with a frown on his face. Yes, to be serious is good. I agree with that, but what's wrong of doing something happily? The truth is, when I look at people, I think a lot. You may not know, but a simple smile or a brief "hi!" really make my day, but when people are angry, I don't really enjoy it. When other people are smiling (without anything to do with me), I feel that life is wonderful. Haha, sounds nuts. Now YOU judge me.

This is my final year of schooling. Since I watched "My Boss My Hero" (the one in Japanese version), I've always think about school optimistically. Why can't others think so? School is supposed to be fun, whether you feel damn exhausted at times, whether you broke the rules accidentally or purposely, whether you got criticized over trivial matters, whether everyone or everything seems to go against you. This is what I call the fun part of school life. You never realise that you will grow wiser and stronger after a certain level.

So let's just conclude this as a challenge. Challenges are vital. Let people yell in front of you, the main point is just do what you should do with true dedication. You won't walk away empty-handed, at least. You learn something precious - patience.

I don't usually have the guts to voice out any of my thoughts. If I did so in the past, it must be silly mistakes. I'm not the same. Maybe I've been disrespectful to some people in the past. What matters most is NOW. I've learnt a lot about patience. I think I feel an improvement in my inner self. I endure in silence outside, but not in this blog of mine.

Peace.

(I've gone way too far from the main title).

One Week Later...

My first week going to school this week. Five tiring days, more and more tiring days to come (for sure). I still can't fight the temptation to take a nap every evening and I hate how I still can't avoid myself from it. Let's move on to the next big stuff: my results...

Oh Add Maths..Add Maths. Do I have to mention about it? EST and English made my day, Chemistry remains and maintains as always - a steady B. Bio was just okay, not too bad, but not so good. Physics with a slight penurunan (to make things easy, I am not a dictionary, and I can't find an English word for that inside my brain chambers, by the way if a brain really has chambers). Gah~. Maths, as always. I hope it stays like that forever. Okay. What else? Ah, Sejarah. (I want to make this extra fast so let us move on to the next story).

Oho, today's spot-check was hilarious. It's funny how people expected things to happen the other way round. Then after class I stayed back to help a little on class decorations/cleaning up. Deep inside my heart, I did think that it'll be way fun if I just don't attend this stuff (like some other friends) but the truth is, it's no harm helping out your classmates, don't you think so? After all the outcome is for all of the people in the class, including myself. So we became Cinderellas, wiping and scrubbing the walls (not the floor) full of shoe-prints. Way better than running out of budget to buy paint, I guess.

I can't help myself from forgetting this term created by our History teacher:- "galus". A sweet combination of "gagal-lulus", meaning those on the borderline. Perhaps you guys have already known this term but for me, wah, what a cool term that is.

I guess I have to go now. Gotta hit the books, esp my Add Maths book - tonnes of homework on Maths and Add Maths. See you guys probably next week, or the following week, or whenever I feel free to blog. Gah~

First Post for 2010

First of all, Happy New Year to all readers.

Tomorrow I'm going to school to register for the next school term which will start on the 4th. I don't feel excited at all, not as always. Gah~

I don't have anything to say, so goodbye for now.
