The Excitement of Being Cheered / Historical school event

Today is both a historical and exciting day for Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan St.Paul (SPI)...

SPI has made history for being the first school in the country and in Negeri Sembilan to be handed the Maybank account book for the recycling project...

A ceremony was held to celebrate this and officially starting this project...

Well respected guest came for this event and so did RTM2 (a.k.a TV2) ....

As usual there were many speeches and finally it was officiated with a symbolic event...

The guest of honor is handed a bunch of newspaper to be weighed and is given money...

This event symbolises the actual event of the students bringing in recyclable objects and being given money..

After that, the principal and the honored guest went down to have a press conference...

The link to the news about this event is :

And the students went back to class...

Later in the afternoon,

We had the lucky draw for the concert tickets that has been sold...

My class , 5 Anselm, has sold the most amount of ticket according to statistics amounting to RM2030.00 while all the other classes have not even achieved above RM1000.00

Because of that I expected that most of the draws will be students from my class....

Me and my friends were getting excited outside of the science lab...

All around the students were standing waiting for the lucky draw to begin...

With my friends, I was acting like my name was being called...

Then, one of my friends came telling me that I have to represent my a classmate to take his prize for being a person who has collected a donation above RM500.00

So I ran across the assembly yard from the science lab and the whole school went wild when they saw me...

They started shouting, whistling and clapping...

I was running down the lane waving my hands and giving out flying kisses ( hehe... )

When I got up to the stage, the teachers were laughing too...

And jokingly, the principal was holding the prize which is a umbrella saying :

"I hit your head then you know" (laughing)

And while walking back to my place everyone continued cheering...

From afar my friends ask me to open the umbrella to show off the prize...

And I did it while walking like a model...

It was so fun...

But the fun did not end there...

As how I acted out earlier where my name was being called, it really happened...

The first draw was my name...

So again I ran across the assembly yard with all the students cheering and clapping....

I ran down the lane again feeling much more excited....

And when I got there one of the teacher said with laughing :

"Looks like it wasn't a waste for you representing your classmate. It was like a practice for you"

Well, what I'm trying to imply is...

The feeling of being cheered on...

It is a very amazing feeling...

It feels like everybody is encouraging you and giving you some sort of energy...

Now I know how it feels when stars or national players are being cheered by the crowd...

It really gives that amazing energy to a person...

Wow... I really hope that in the future I can experience more events like this where I'm being cheered by many...

And to you my readers, I hope you all do your best in life and let everyone cheer you on for who you are, not for who you are not....

Road to getting my driving license (Lesson Begins)

Yesterday,

The 21st of June 2011...

My driving lesson has begin...

I came home at 1.50pm feeling tired after a long day at school...

I waited to have my lunch and then quickly wash myself up to freshen up...

At 2.30pm, the instructor arrived at my house and we headed to the driving circuit...

The whole journey towards the place, I was being lectured for not being able to speak in Chinese as a Chinese.... (haha >.<)

When we arrived there, he stopped at the first track and started introducing everything about driving and all the parts in the car...

After that, we exchanged place and the driving lesson begins...

He first thought me about how to move a motionless car...

Then we went around the circuit about 2 to 3 times and then he left me to continue trying out by myself...

Later, we went to the slope...

It was kinda tricky to learn that but it was fun at the same time...

I got frustrated at first but then when I got the hang of it, it felt kinda fun...

Finally, the last lesson for the day was how to park a car...

This was the most tricky and annoying one that I learnt that day...

It really took a lot out of me...

Throughout the process of learning all this, the instructor scolded and shouted at me a lot...

It almost got the best of me..

I was starting to get annoyed and angry...

But then at one point of learning, he called me out and asked me:

"Am I hurting your feeling? Am I scolding you?"

I replied : "No, you are teaching me."

He said : "No, I'm being straight with you because I want you to do well. I have no reason to scold you because I do not even know you. So no matter what I do remember its so that you won't fail your driving test"

Those words really made me feel better...

But there are times when I panic while driving...

It is my first time on the wheels so I'm not all that good...

And again on the way back, I was lectured about speaking in Chinese...

I find that the instructor was a great man but the only annoying thing is that he keeps smoking...

Well, it was a fun experience though and I'm kinda looking forward to the next lesson...

I hope I do better...

School Mini Sports (Sport's Day)

Today was our school's mini sports ( or actually Sport's Day)

Me and some of the ninjas ( actually only 4 others) was suppose to do a demonstration today...

We stayed back on Wednesday and discussed and trained for this demo...

Then again yesterday but in the end we decided not to do it because of the lack of members and proper equipment...

So instead I trained with them...

I sparred with Azriel because it has been long since I sparred with him...

As we were sparring, I went in for his head and caught him but then our leg tripped him over...

He almost knocked the edge of a cement floor but I held on to his head...

Instead I got a horrible cut across my shin...

It has been very long since I last got a wound like that...

Blood kept on coming out...

I washed and tried to stop the bleeding but it did not...

So blood kept dripping out but there was nothing I could do about it...

So I left it to drip and harden eventually...

Then I continue training with them...

Instead I did some weapon sparring with Azriel with a strong scent of blood coming from my leg...

Soon after Azriel went home and Alex (my senior) thought me something new...

At around 4pm, he had to go home so I made a call to my mum and went to buy something over at Terminal 2...

I went there with the blood still on my leg and people who passed me was staring at my wounded leg...

So I bought my game and went to the roti canai shop where my mum was waiting...

She was shocked to see my leg....

She kept saying it was serious but I said it was ok....

What is funny is I have a game of tug-of-war (tarik tali) for the mini sports and I have a blue black and a wound on my leg...

When I got home, I washed it again while taking a shower..

The next day (which is today) my mum put on bandages before I went to school....

So everything went on until my event came...

The tug-of-war...

The floor was slippery because of the drizzle..

As usual the adrenaline is there the moment you are waiting for the whistle to be blown...

The moment it started...

My team was pulled forward...

We could not fight back...

It just seemed like there was no energy coming out from my body today..

I did not know why...

We could not fight back and lost the first round...

For the second round, we started well and pulled the opposing team a lot...

But all of a sudden my arms ran out of energy and I could not pull no matter how much I shouted to "PULL!!! " to my team...

I was exhausted...

But we did not give up...

Despite knowing that we might lose fighting back...

We kept on pulling with all our might...

We held on with every last bit of energy left...

We lost that match but was not so disappointed....

We were still happy to know that we got 2nd place and am going to get a medal...

Its better than nothing...

Though our teacher was sad she was proud of us for doing so well till the very end...

She cried...

I do not know for sure whether its tears of happiness or sadness....

But she cried and came to us saying its ok...

She massaged my shoulders and was laughing while she cried...

Then we took a photo with my injured leg raised...

I'm glad that things still turned out well after all that...

Thanks for the encouragement teacher and you guys...

But I was really hoping to get a gold medal seeing that this would be my last year in school...

But I've learnt a very valuable lesson...

Never give up and you will find something nice at the end whether it turns out the way you want it or not...

Amazing Voices

Music is really inspirational in life...

Especially when singers have great voices....

Such as Josh Groban, Il Divo, Celine Dion, Bee Gees and many more...

This fantastic singers have done so much wonder for us by singing with their great voices....

These voices are wonderful and really touching...

Its reaches beyond...

All the way to the heart....

With lyrics that brings so much of meaning....

I'll continue loving music of all kinds (unless they are really really horrible)

And never forget the oldies which brought about the musics we all have today...

I really hope that I'll also be able to build up a voice as great as them some day...

I hope to be able to sing like them but not to become a famous singer or anything...

But so that I can express feelings through the wonder of music...

With a beautiful voice...

I'll keep singing till that happens...

And keep living life to the very best...

Praise God for all that he gives to us...

Especially for the music and great voices in the world...

I believe in you

We must never fear when we move forward in life...

We just have to be ourselves and move on...

If we are lost in the darkness, we must allow our love for God to lead us....

For he believes in us...

This is the lyrics to the song :

Lonely the path you have chosen A restless road no turning back One day you will find your light again Don't you know Don't let go this time Follow your heart Let your love lead through the darkness Back to a place you once knew I believe, i believe, i believe in you Follow your dreams Be yourself an angel of kindness There's nothing that you cannot do I believe, i believe, i believe in you Tout seul, tu t'en iras tout seul Coeur ouvert a l'univers Poursuis ta quete Sans regarder derriere n'attends pas Que le jour se leve Suis ton etoile Va jusqu'ou ton reve t'emporte Un jour tu le toucheras Si tu crois, si tu crois, si tu crois en toi Suis ta lumiere n'eteins pas la flamme que tu portes Au fond de toi souviens toi Que je crois, que je crois, que je crois en toi Someday i'll find you Someday you'll find me too And when i hold you close I know that it's true Follow your heart Let your love lead through the darkness Back to a place you once knew I believe, i believe, i believe in you Follow your dreams Be yourself an angel of kindness There's nothing that you cannot do I believe, i believe, i believe in you I believe, i believe, i believe in you I believe, i believe, i believe in you [translation of the french] Aall alone, you will go on your way all alone Heart open to the universe Pursue your quest Without looking back Don't wait For the day to arise Follow your star Go where your dream takes you One day you will touch it If you believe, if you believe, if you believe in yourself Follow your light Don't extinguish the flame that you carry In your heart remember That i believe, that i believe, that i believe in you

House Renovation

Yesterday,

The new furnitures arrived...

After 9 long years, we are refurnishing the house....

New and modern furnitures were bought....

Among my personal favourite of course is the divider (bar counter) and the display cabinet...

Furnitures were moved around for the past few days...

It was very tiring for me....

My dad had even helped to clean the house....

Thought he may be naggy when he does the work but he does it very neatly...

A lot of heave furnitures were moved (Thank God I'm strong XP )

The new arrangement is very nice...

I just almost can't take my eyes off the new furnitures... Hehe XD

Anyways back to the main story....

Three workers came by late at 7pm....

The address written on the bill was wrong so they had a hard time finding our place...

So they brought in the lorry and started to move the furnitures about....

The main point is not about what furniture I got but instead its about the three workers...

I do not know their name but I want to tell you all about these three guys...

First of all we have this tall guy....

He has medium length hair...

He is a quite guy but he is focused when he does his job....

His eyes were almost like none I have seen before...

Full of concentration and focus...

A real wonder even though he may not be very good at his studies but his focus is simply amazing...

Then there is this not so tall dude....

He is a talented guy...

He is good with wirings and putting things together....

But the best of the three was this big muscular guy....

He is strong like crazy I tell you...

He could carry some of those big furnitures by himself....

His strength is natural from being used to this...

He is a friendly guy...

I was conversing with him quite a lot while he was setting up the furnitures and all...

Although these three guys may not have been good at their studies but they are talented in a way...

That is prove enough that you can be talented in anything not only in studies....

Well there is more to these three guys than when it meets the eyes...

I feel happy that there is many type of people ranging all the way from the very bad to the very good....

Thank God for that diversity ^^
