Life At The Moment

It's the school holidays now and it doesn't feel like the break I used to have after SPM. Haha! Of course it wouldn't be like that. My schedule's pack with loads of activities. 2 activities down at the moment: Photo shooting and my Driving's QTI test. (I passed!) Would have my P license after the holidays are over. Pray-tell I'll pass the real thing with the JPJ people. 
         2 unusually exciting things happened. No. 1: Weldon's birthday (ex-ketua of SOS). Thanks for Foon Yoong (a.k.a our ex-secretary) for organizing a mini youth outing to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, we had loads of fun!

 It's a good movie. I laughed, quite a lot. 23 of us wanted to watch but there were only 16 tickets. So Yoong, Cally, Juan Wyn, Joel, Tevin and Wei Zheng sacrificed. (I can't remember who was the other one...) Before the movie we had lunch at Govin's. (I hope I didn't misspell) It's a Northen Indian Restaurant. Good food... Yum... 







My beloved SOS Youth. I will surely miss them in 2 years time. Oh well, and then it's the photo shoot which happened yesterday. I cannot show any of the pictures yet, but the video, I can. I think. Still, thinking about it. It was incredibly funny. That's all for now.

Discipline

Thank God that Orientation Week in High School Klang is finally OVER!
I can finally put my head straight on the prize, the goal of scoring the best an STPM student can ever score: 4 FLATS. Yes, yes... Everybody is telling me what a killer STPM is. That was the same thing my secondary seniors told me about Add Maths, what a killer it is. And with that negative input in my brain, I struggled through the 2 years. It was only by the grace of God that I managed to last minute grasp the concept of Index Numbers on the day of the exam itself and managed to score a B. (which I have never accomplished before in my entire life)
            So, this time around in STPM, I'm not gonna let those comments about STPM get in the way. I will my best and discipline myself to the max to achieve my full potential. I ain't bragging, but I am born smart. In fact, no body on earth is born stupid. They have brains and their brains work well. The only honest comment I can give about my SPM result: I was lazy. Yeap, there you have it. The truth. 
           I am going to put in my best effort in disciplining my life now. The mission now is to do my best to accomplish the best, for the glory of God. 


Dear Lord,
thank you for this second chance to redeem myself from the failure of not disciplining myself last year. With your help and guidance, Lord; I want, I need, I am going to do my best this 1 and 1/2 years. Do accomplish what I can accomplish with my best effort. I cannot do this without you. I acknowledge it's gonna be a wild, rough ride. But with you, nothing is impossible. I believe! I believe!

Into your hands, I commit again
With all I am, for you Lord
You hold my world, in the palm of your hands
And I am yours forever...
Amen.

Orientation Week

High School Klang's Orientation Week is the most interesting and at the same time the most "pissing people off" one I've ever seen and been in. 
                     The first thing they did was to use the mic and yelled at us juniors. 
Day 1: Registration, taklimat, instructions to make firefly costume, signature book that uses almost 75 A4 papers. 
My Firefly costume
Day 2: More taklimat, wearing the costume the whole day, ordering us around, commanding us to greet seniors and seniors with special name tags and special posts; signature book check, more yelling, instructions on how to win signatures from seniors tomorrow, buy sweets! 


High School is nice. The environment is nice. The food is nice. And 3 different canteens, one Malay, 2 Chinese (cooked and served on plate food + bakery). Transferring to ACS would be done next week. Hmm... Will I miss High School?

Plans

SMK Tinggi Klang (a.k.a High School Kang)
I am posted to this school to study form 6, but my mum and I have talked and thought about it, I'll need to transfer to ACS. The thing is, I need to wait stay 2 weeks in that school and only then I can apply for transfer and who knows how long that process is gonna take. 
The Main Building


Looks quite grand right? They have 3 different canteens. A single building for the library itself and form 6 students get a whole block to themselves out from the rest of the secondary students sight. So cool right? It is really a beautiful school. It's super BIG! I'm afraid that being in that school for 3 weeks will make me stay and not think about transferring. *sigh...
            I really like that school. The environment especially. It's an all boys school and yet, they are really clean! It can be considered ancient but still way much better than ACS. I've been to ACS a few times over the years and that school has a huge field and compound in the middle on the school. The office sucks though. The canteen is ordinary and the layout of the building is just simple unlike High School. I feel like sticking to High School now. And all this while I've been telling people that I want to go to ACS. 


The badge looks ugly though. 
I am really contemplating. What's most important is the teachers. Whether they are committed and dedicated to their work to teach us properly. Especially for me. I'm a little weak in Chemistry and Maths. I need real guidance and teaching that will make help me understand well. If the teachers don't teach well in High School, that's it; I am transferring out of there.
