Ching Ming

recently, my life so lame!

i drove to Raub with my family except my father, he had to work. we back to Raub for 'Ching Ming', we have to pay our respect to my grandfather (my mother's father). according to Chinese tradition, we have to go our relatives graveyard, clean their places, bring them some foods (they died already, don't know how they eat???), and burn something for them (they also need it in the other world).

it has been many years that my grandfather left us. i still remember the time he left us, i was form 3. the number of grandchildren come back for him is less and less. this year, only little of the grandchildren back for him. others using the excuses that they have to work, have to take care of their children and study. really deserted. don't know what will my grandfather feel?

as usual, we started to go to the Yi Shan on 6am. it was very dark. to avoid the hot sun and traffic congestion, we have to go early. walking on the road that i only walk once in a year, the road which bring me to my grandfather's 'house'. although i was surounded by graves, but it was not scary.

when reached my grandfather's grave, everybody did their part. after we done everything, only some of relatives arrived. they seem like came here only for foods. when we decided to go back, they quickly took the food and started to eat. sigh. what to do?

i hope next year all the relatives will come back and pay their respect to our grandfather. please don't come back only Chinese New year or something bad happens. grandmother is old, please come back always. she will not always stays with us, if got time, please come home...

well, i decided not to write the unhappy memories happened in the camp. we have enough of it. no more gossip can disturb our STPM study. so, i don't want to write it.

some people asked me to post some Buddha Camp photos on it. OK, as u wish!

happy memories in buddha camp

well, overall this was a good camp. sincerely, i didn't expect the camp has this succeed!!! bravo! i think i better write down some funny story in the camp. i hope everyone can enjoy it.

1st of all, the camp having a very little member. 21 members and it just had 2 boys. the boys told me that they very pity. i don't know why and i think they should be very happy???

1st day, the members were very shy. most of them still in form 1. but luckily, we placed 4 eldest sisters to be their group leader. they did a great job. they involved everyone in the games, discussion and else. they also had a meeting to improve themselves. i think that why a leader should do. guide their group to the champion and to the path of light. nudge, rabbit, MJ and king of cat feces, please give yourself a loud claps!

i was one of the host of the games. the game i taking charge was "duplicity". when you answering my question, you have to give me a right answer but the way you shake you head must be a wrong answer. this game was quite confusing. the most memorable moment is when i was asking nudge: "do you wearing cloth now?" she answered me loud and clear: "not!!!" my god!!!

my pant is very thin, i know. its colour is cream-coloured, i know. but i forget that all these things when playing water. it became totally semi-transparent. yes, it's damn hot and sexy. i had to used my t-shirt to cover it. nudge still kept poured the water to my pant! after the game finish, i quickly went to change my clothes. Nudge, next week you'll die!

king of cat feces is the most pity. she was playing a game which need to cover her eyes and find glass marble on the grassland. she accidentally touched cat feces. i was so shocked but happy too. ( i know, I'm evil). i quickly told her is cat feces. she also shocked, CY told her is nothing. (CY is worse than me, she trying to cheat king of cat feces). unfortunately, her hands were full of feces. the most impress is she didn't quit after she touched the feces. she kept on to play. this kind of spirit really excellent.

when night, we had a drama. we went out and played our characters. frankly, it was very funny, if you in there, i think you will laugh until you burst your stomach. if any Buddha camp members reading my blog, i want to ask you a question: my catwalk still OK??? all the member's memory and calculation are damn good! they answered the questions very fast and correctly.

after that, we played '007 BOMB'. at 1st, it was quite interesting but later it became very boring. then, i introduced another game which i learnt in PLKN. its name is "buaya ; biawak". but they don't like to use BM, then we changed it to up and down. this game very fun, even the next group also copy my game. hey, you all haven't pay my copyright!

the 'candle light cards" was very boring. so, not much to write. MJ, remember you owe us. ha ha ha!

after all games, we went to have our sleep in air-conditional room. it was my 1st camp which has air-condition room for us to sleep. thank you to Pn.Chin and Sir.Ho.

the very next day, we woke up. pinky was very terrible. he chatted with a girl early in the morning. they disturbed my sleep. i think they started to chat about 5am. so terrible. Hmmm!!!

some people became very uncooperative. next post, i will talk about it. let's us continue. the 1st game is ' treasure hunt'. we gave the members photos and asked them to think what is the photo showing. then, they have to find us to get the password for the treasure. i thought my Q&Q watch is the hardest, but they said is ah liang's cap. ha ha ha...
got a girl claimed herself has asthma. she told us she cannot do too extreme activity. but when she chasing pinky, she managed to chase him form third floor and a round of school. unlucky, her group finding a wrong person. so, pinky has to give them punishment to run the hall around. then, the girl quickly told pinky that she has asthma and she cannot run. @_@

the following games didn't use water as punishment anymore, so i think it quite boring. furthermore, my mood destroyed by somebody. before we close the camp, we also did a sharing. the feed backs were very good. it was totally out of my expectation. almost all the members very enjoy this camp. thank you, because you all light up me.

as a conclusion, we had fun!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!

!@#$

buddha camp very.......
dunno how to say???
hope it can be better.
members is a problem.
how to process the games also a problem?

2nd surprise!!!

today early in the morning, i read newspaper. when i reading the 'east coast' page, i was shock!!! is it my and my team? we are on the papers!!! wow!!!

i can see my team leader LT answering the opponent questions. i was thinking how to defeat our side ad seek some opportunity to give them a punch! ha ha ha!!! my head is huge, so you all cannot see SK's head! so many groups were competing that moment, my team has this golden chance to have a little page of the papers. it is a wonderful morning.

want to see me inside the newspaper? ok, 15/3/2009 Sin Chew daily newspapers, East Coast Edition, page 3.

9.30am have to go Chung Hwa again to support my friends. hope they can make it into final!!!

we lost and we won!!!

ok! we lost and we won.
we lost in the 1st game and we gain a lot of knowledge.

erm... how to start? the fight fire was lighted by li teng. she is so amazing. she explained our tittle clearly and i believe some people never see LT got this fierce before. although she did some mistakes, but never mind, some nerves get on her. over all, she didn't let us down.

SK was so confidence this time. he was full of power. he not afraid of anyone and made his performance well. i think he also feel glad with himself. sometime, he's too excited already. he hit the table after he finish his talk. all of us so surprised! Sk said he cannot controls his emotion. next time, we have to tie u his both hands before the competition start. ha ha ha, just kidding.

WJ also not bad. many news ideas come from her. unfortunately, she was the last. the judge also feel some regret and wonder why many good and new points didn't mention earlier. sorry, the ideas is only from WJ, we also don't know. the judge said she was quite stiff. she will definitely improve after the competition.

everyone of us learn a lot of things. the judges said i just got some language mistakes like "jiang". what could i do? i already used to use this word. they also commented on my tie. is not my fault. i tried my best to make it looks better. they like my talent too especially the eldest judge. although the competition was over, he came and gave me more useful advice. he said i got potential and i look like had participated in many debate competitions. but this was my 1st debate competition. i was so happy at that moment. we lost but we suck it up, our day still full of sunshine.

what i satisfied with myself is i cut the opponent words and didn't let he makes his further explanation perfectly. the judges don't know i stop his talk. my teammates and the opponents also shock that judges didn't realise. ha ha ha

so, relax...

don't so tension, k?

WJ doing her performance quite confidence!!!

let me talk!!!!

you shut up!!!! just kidding...

as a conclusion, we had fun!!! wow!!

P/S: TB is the most happiest, because we lost already and he no need to prepare for 2nd competition. ha ha ha

exhausted!!!!

today so exhausted!!! i get this news from newspaper that student SPM 2007 who get 9A or above can get JPA scholarship about RM2000. i was so happy, because with this money i can buy another laptop. so, i decided to pay a visit to islam bank after school.

1st, i thought the Muamalat Bank is Islam bank. unfortunately, it's not. it wasted some of my time in there. since i'm a Chinese, they even not to bother me. they let me wait for some time, then only come and ask me what happen with LCLY face.

then, i went to temerloh. luckily, i know where is the islam bank located. when i get inside, i get a quite good service. surprise!? i told all the things i know to the customer service. she helped me and called their manager. later, she told me that they haven't receive the notice from HQ. so, the cannot do anything. she asked me come back and try later. what can i do? i said thank you and left.

my mother was so unsatisfied. the newspaper written that some students already get the money. furthermore, i got another scholarship from JPA which can get RM110 per month. yet, i still didn't receive the money. what will you do when u facing this problems?

Thank you form six. thank you Pengajian Am. you let me know so many things. i straight away go to find ADUN.

Mr. Chuah Boon Seong is my only help now. i waited for him about 45 minutes!!! why? because got a old folk inside. the secretary told me that the old folk was inside there over an hour already. what??? what problem she having? i'm so curious. finally, i met Mr.Chuah.

again, i told him my story. he asked me wait. he said i will get my scholarship. what i have do is wait. if till the end of March, i still didn't receive any news, i can go to find him again. he record all my problems and my some personal data. then, i went back home.

what the fuck the government doing? little things also cannot do it well. always ask us wait! i'm sick of it! next time, i sure vote to XXX. but here, i have to thank you Mr. Chuah. Thank you for all the help you gave me. TQ

sigh

My team got WLP, TSK, LTB, SWJ and me. actually, everyone of us can talk very well. but after a warm-up match, i found many weaknesses in my team.

1stly, we don't have tacit!!! when the match is processing, we totally cannot communicate with each other. it's just like we are individual, not a team. we are friend but not very close. we study in different class. it's very hard to train our tacit.

2ndly, some of us not enough confidence. although it was a warm-up match, they still got stage fright. example, they cannot speak fluently, cannot find opponent's weakness and etc. i hope they can overcome this problem.

lastly, some are very calm. they so calm till their tone also like a straight line. it doesn't looks like a debate match. erm... it's just like teacher teaching student with flat tone.

i'm also very scare at that time. my hands and legs were shaking. but luckily, i didn't let them control me.

GOD!!! I NEED YOU!!! WHERE ARE YOU??? CAN YOU GIVE MY TEAM AND ME STRENGHT??? BLESS MY TEAM ADN GIVE US YOUR POWER. PLEASE.....

Gentleman's Verbal

Chinese debate competition is coming!!! this Saturday, i will go to debate in zhong hua (2). exactly time i still don't know yet. i so nervous. i hope i will not be an idiot when the competition is progressing. God, give me Your power.

the debate tittle is "Similar personality are more lasting love". I'm anti-side which my tittle is "Complementary personality can make a more lasting love". is a tough tittle. my team and i prepared a lot of it. yesterday, we discussed about more than 2 hours in Old Town. quite tired. (Old Town's drink not very nice, will not go there anymore). don't know who is our opponent. i think is Hwa Lian students. they got teacher help, but we don't have, everything must prepare by ourselves.

hey, all my friends. remember go to support me OK? with your support, we will win! Be the champion!!!



p/s: my team name is "Gentleman's Verbal" in chinese “君子动口”

too much to say but nobody here for me

so sad. my physic result so poor. my friend also ask me what happen on me. i also don't know. i study so hard. i got do exercises. why my result still sucks? maybe form six all about intelligent and i not smart enough to score well in it.

10 march 2009, the STPM result will out. i know I'm not taking STPM last year, but next year i will be the one of the worries. scare cannot go in U. afraid about the future. if i failed, what will be my next moves?

who can sit beside me and listen to me? i need one....

it's over...

monthly test was over, my heart is bleeding. i tried my best to answer the questions, but the result still the sucks!!! now, i only realised why my form 5 teachers advised me try to not take form six. SPM i took 13 subjects, now it seem more easy than 4 subjects in STPM.

when i took the pure math paper 2 from teacher, i hope I'm no hope to score A already. i just know to answer 1 and third-quarter of questions. today Miao Sir gave back the paper and discussed the questions, i looked at my mark, just 46. however, it's better than failed.

i was so confident when i answered the chemistry paper. i know i can do it. i answered all the questions. first time, i so confident till i thought i can score A in chemistry. when the result come out, i just got 55. still have a great distance to achieve A. sighed.

pengajian am paper 1 also made me no mood to study. before the test, teacher told me the test just test 1st chapter. when i reached school, my other class friend told me will test chapter 2 also. my mind was black out. teacher haven't finish teach us chapter 2. i didn't prepare for chapter 2. so, another paper sucks already.

it's over... holidays must study study study

Health benefits of donating blood
Reduce the chance of heart diseases

It has been observed that increase in blood iron level increases the chance of heart disease. Iron is involved in the oxidation of cholesterol and this process is believed to be detrimental for the arteries. Increases blood iron level favors this process of cholesterol oxidation and thus leads to heart disease.1 Regular blood donation helps especially males in loosing iron on regular basis. It helps in reducing the chance of heart attack to one third.2

Enhance the production of new Red Blood Cells

As the blood is withdrawn from the donors body there is decrease inblood cells. To replenish it, immediately new cells are produced by marrow andthis way blood gets refreshed. Therefore donating blood helps in stimulating generationof new blood cells.3

Helps in fighting hemochromitosis

Hemochromitosis is a genetic disorder; also know as iron overload disorder wherein iron accumulates in the body tissue because or improper iron metabolism. This condition may lead to organ damage.3 Though this problem is uncommon in Indians4, people with little iron overload also can easily donation blood and reduce their iron content. Taking example from other countries, one in every 300-400 people in England suffers from this disorder and American Red Cross blood services accept such donors as safe donor as it’s a genetic disorder, it won’t be harmful to the person receiving blood from such donors.3

Burns calories

One can diet or remain fit by donating blood regularly. One pint of blood (450 ml) when donated burns 650 calories in donor’s body. 3, 5

Invigorated feeling in elderly people

It has been mentioned in various sites though not proved that elderly people in good health have reported feeling invigorated or reenergized by giving blood on a regular basis.6

Basic blood test is done

Apart from all these benefits a donor gets a mini blood test done before donating blood. This includes Hematocrit i.e. HB level test, Blood pressure is measured, body weight is checked. After the blood is collected it tested for 5 major diseases. Those are Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Syphilis and malaria. Donor is immediately informed if any of these test found to be positive.

there are so many advantages if you donate your blood. so, next time please donate your blood k?
