Just because...

Sorry, for the very very very late continuation of posts on my blog. This is because
1) nothing much to post
2) no time to post anything else
3) pretty much the same as 1 and 2...lolz

I'm only posting this because there are people wanting me to do so...if any1 can give me anything they want me to post about, just a title, i would gladly do it...nothing interestin has popped up...other then my classmates saying that i'm very talkative nowadays ( isn't that right su wei).

Here's something that will make you practise for sometime...say it when you see me, if you can master it by then.

( my aunt taught me this)
Betty bought a bit of butter,
but the butter Betty bought was bitter,
so Betty bought a better bit of butter,
than the butter Betty bought before.

here's another...its quite a simple and old one ( since i was in primary school). See if any of you guyz know it.

How much wood can a Woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck can chuck wood.

happy tongue twisting.=)

Disappointing and weird day

Firstly, today on the way home, I almost got conned. At the pedestrian bridge connecting SS15 and SS 14, an Indian guy standing there told me a wicked story!!

He told me that he was sent by his company to deliver a letter!! Can't the postman do it!? And he said that its raining, so he's stuck on the bridge!! A colleague of his dropped him here to deliver it, and he will take a taxi back. But then, with so much expression on his face, he said that he left all his things in the colleague's car, including his wallet and hand phone!!

He asked me to lend him my phone so that he can call the colleague to bring all his stuff here, and that's not all, I denied...of course, and then he ask me to give him some money to take a bloody taxi back to his house!?

So many freaking flaws in what he's saying. I mean, the rain isn't all that heavy, and there are so many shops that would most likely let him make a phone call to someone!! I just said no to everything, and walked away.

As s street smart person *coughing in the background* , I of course wouldn't do anything... I'm not stupid or anything!! This would only work on a baby...even then, a baby wouldn't even for fall it...old trick mister!!

Anywayz, Badminton today...DISASTER!!
I played Horribly! All my net shots couldn't go through, my smashes were hitting the net, and my estimation of whether the shuttlecock is out or in, just went WRONG!!!

Me and Eu Jin lost to Basil and his friend (which is a state player) 21-14. Then, Me and Erik, lost to Eu Jin and some guy, Wayne (whose playing style is very..."Unique")21-16. And I lost to Eu Jin in a singles match, 21-13!! I mean, how could I have lost. I gotta do something about all this, coz hock chin and hee ian are the ones i gotta beat!! and if i lose to Eu Jin just like that, there's no way to get near hee ian, or even hock chin. Haiz...

lousy day for badminton, anyone interested in playing end of next week? coz my holiday, starts after that. I wanna fight hock chin, long time never challenge him ledi.

Very hectic right up till next Tuesday.

This whole week, its gonna be full of 'activities', which actually means, that i'm gonna be busy every single day...haiz. Since I have nothing better to post, I'll just tell you whats gonna happen every single day till next tuesday.


Today ( Tuesday)

Mrs Sujata ( below), my business studies teacher has given us certain projects to do, and my group ( Eu Jin, Juna, Izzy, Yue Ling, Benjamin and I) has been assinged to do a survey and make a comparison. About what? That, only tomorrow we are gonna discuss about. We are gonna to carry out this survey this Friday after school. Study law and business.


Wednesday

On this day, we're gonna need to do a lot of climbing up and down the staircase. Because the trial exams for the As and A2 are going on, so our classes has been moved. Most of the classes are at 3.15 other than business which is at C 15, and the Letcures, which are still at LT 8. So, the whole day we're gonna be very tired from all the walking...good training for me for my badminton the following day...lolz! Study Law.

Thursday

This day is the only day I get to play badminton for the week, so i'll need to play as much as possible. And this day is the day i'm gonna beat Hee Ian and Basil/Erik with Eu Jin...AGAIN!!! MUAHAHAHA!!! And i'm gonna settle the score against Eu Jin, which was a tie last week. So, I'm gonna need to do a lot better. Oh, and my uncle and aunt are coming for a holiday, en route to Europe. Study Law.

Friday

After school, we're gonna do the survey. The places most likely we're gonna do it are at Sunway Pyramid, Subang Parade, Carrefour, Giant and Mydin. Its definitely gonna be a tiring day. Wish Me Luck!! Study Law.

Saturday and Sunday

During the weekend, i'm going back with my family to Ipoh for 'Ching Ming'. 2 things I like about 'ching ming' is the time when buying all the praying items and seeing all the unique paper items for burning. I saw a PS 1 once...no kidding!! And the 2nd thing is going to the cemetary and putting all the incense. Kinda fun. Study Law.

Monday

Why did you think I put all the " Study Law" after every day of the week. Take a good guess why...

Tuesday

Presentation day for the business survey.

Thats all folks!!

I'm not who I used to be...

This may well be one of my longest post...EVER!!
This year, I'll be turning 17, but the 15th and the 16th year of my life was the most fun I had as my class( Form 4/5 Beta) was the perfect class, and I had the perfect friends. =)


This was the only class I stayed with together for 2 years, as in previous years, I would go to a lower class.



This picture beside, we're with our Moral teacher...and I think you would be able to spot me out. This isn't our whole class, but it is one of the nicest looking one with me and my class.



Lets start with Form 4. I only knew a few people then. Shaun and Ken Hou were the two I knew best, as I was in the same class as them in Form 2(Omega). I sat with Shaun since day 1, and as time went on, the whole class was getting to know each other really well.





This was us when we were in Form 4.( sorry if the pic is a bit blur)


We had all kinds of things to talk about, and not one day would be boring. This is also the time when i got back my passion for badminton because about 7 people in my class has an interest in this game.


The good ones are Hock Chin, Erwin, and Eu Yang. They are the ones I have always wanted to beat, and till today, they still are.

The teacher on the right ( yes! to all Betas, you know what i'm gonna talk about.), is our accounts teacher. Name, Pn Pan( Low Kwee Fong). At first, I always looked forward to her lessons, but as time passed, everyone knew why our seniors always complain about her.

She will always 'char' you, if you don't do her work, don't get good results for her paper, and especially if you're one of the weaker ones. I think majority were weak, so there were always many 'shows' to watch during accounts class, and no one ever wanted to be the 'main actor' for the lesson...but if anyone knows, I was the 'main actor' for quite some time during Form 4, but less during Form 5 as Ian Kok took over my role...LOLZ =).

We would always talk about teachers behind their backs ( isn't that what all students do?), especially PAN! No one could ever stand her, and, if i'm not mistaken, she threatened us, if we did not hand in her work, she would minus marks from our exam...MEAN!!! =(

She would also discriminate the weaker students from the strong ones, like "the weaker ones, do Question 1, 2, 3. The strong ones do 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on." I mean which teacher does that?! Shouldn't it be the other way around? Enough about accounts, I could go on forever.

In Form 5, there was another teacher who was a menace, but mainly only to Shaun...Pn Christina!!! Too bad I don't have her picture. She was our Chemistry teacher.

When we moved on to Form 5, my grades were getting better, and some pressure was lifted off of me from some subjects. And I sat with Shaun, again, until around mid-year. We would always talk about whats in the news, especially about Bush, if there are any news about him, and about law. Both of us want to be lawyers ( but he's on the fence right now), and always joked about setting up 'Wong and Kang'...or was it 'Kang and Wong' like he always said.



Hock Chin, Lai Hing and Eu Yang are seated around us, and we would always talk, mainly crap, and we would most of the times, 'char' each other as well, but I get most of it as they would always group up and 'char' me...right Eu Yang?!...LOLZ. =). Haiz, good old days.


The guys head turning away is Hock Chin, and you can see part of my head. The guy beside me is Eu Yang...the noisy one, and the one in front of him is Lai Hing...I'm not sure where Shaun is at that time.

I was, and still am, the one to always challenge Hock Chin to a one-on-one badminton match, and he always accepted it. But I was also known as the one to never beat Hock Chin and always boast about beating him...hehe. I'll get you one day...mark my word! =)

Our class, quite often played badminton together, and it was always never fun to lose to Hock Chin in front of them...lolz.

I was always the talkative one, talking about badminton and other crappy stuff. I think ( any Betas, please clarify my statement if required), I was one of the most jovial person in my class, next to Eu Yang (as seen in the picture above). And I can still remember, my signature thing I always did...lolz. I was always the first one to say "Hi !" to anyone in the class or entering, and I would sometimes disturb Hock Chin, and just say "Hi", and he would say, "crap la you", and turn away...lolz. Yup, I have to much time on my hand.

I would seldom get angry ( I think only a couple of times), and when I do, it is usually a big issue and some would say, "Whoa! Justin can get angry"...lolz. =). And I'm seldom very quiet in class, too much to talk about.

My best friend is Shaun Kang. He knows a lot about me( more than any of my other friends), and we would always 'click' when talking about many topics. For the rest of the 5 Beta, I would feel comfortable being around them, as they are great friends.

Like in my current class( PL1), I'm now so so so so quiet. Because, they're, most of the time, not on the same wave line as me. They talk about music, I talk( seldom) about other stuff. I'm just not myself or like how I was in 5 Beta. My attitude and my actions are totally different from when I was studying in Subang Utama. My classmates are nice people, but I'm more comfortable with BETA!! I, most of the time just listen in on their conversation, and give a smile or laugh once in a while if there is anything funny.

I seriously miss 5 Beta, so I actually intend on doing something...its a secret, shhhh.

Even though these 2 years was the roughest time I had ( I had tuition at least 3 hours a day, and my results we're slipping like nobodies business, but regained quite a bit during Form 5), I came out on top a winner, with friends like Shaun, Hock Chin, Ken Hou, Eu Yang, Shien Ken, Lai Hing, Teck Weng, Adeline, Tieng Wei, Yean Ling, Pei Min, Ann Li, Rabiatul, Hazwani and the other 5 Beta students.

This is us







These are just some random pics of me and my class.














I have much more pictures of my class, but I think for the time being, this is alright.

*Maybe i'll use 'Flickr" to post my photos.

This post is to all 5 Betas out there!! Hoped you enjoyed it.

Sports update...i'm a bit slow for this news.

This post may seem a little old, if you have read the newspaper today.



In Formula 1,

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen bagged his first win with the Scuderia team at Melbourne. He led from start to finish without any problems at all. But his team mate, Felipe Massa had to pick his way through 16 cars, when he started from the back of the grid after a 10 position penalty due to an engine change. He had to settle for 6th place, because he didn't have enough time to overtake the Renault of Giancarlo Fisichella, eventhough Massa had a much faster car.



Kimi currently leads the head of the standings followed by the 2 Mclarens of Alonso and Hamilton who finished 2nd and 3rd place respectively.



Mclarens head the constructors championship with 14 points followed by Ferrari with 13 points.

In Badminton,
China, bagged 3 gold medals from the Swiss Open, while another 2 won by Malaysia and Korea.

China's Chen Jin played a class above his opponent, Simon Santoso of Indonesia, and defeated him in 2 straight games.

In the mens doubles, it was another disappointing outing for the World number 2 Danish pair of Jens Eriksen-Martin Lundgaard Hansen. This is their 3rd defeat to Malaysia's hotshots Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong. The Danes were controlling the shuttle most of the time in the 1st game and Koo-Tan couldn't recover.
But in the 2nd game, the Danes were struggling with the speed of the Malaysians, and a rubber set was required. In this last game, the Danes were just no where near the Malaysians speed, net play and fast smashes, and they had to bow down 21-12.

The Malaysian pairing of Koo-Tan are letting known that they are the ones to beat in the world after they dispose the World Champions, Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng in the quarterfinals, legends, Candra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan and now the European Champions, Jens Eriksen-Martin Lundgaard.

Well, what i say is, i dislike them alot after they start to beat all my favourite doubles players consistently. I really hope that some other pair would defeat them because their heads are getting to big, especially Koo Kien Keat.

I'm in pain!!!

Okay...it isn't that painful, but it is very irritating. What i'm talking about, is my legs and my right shoulder are aching. Badminton training today, even though not as demanding as last week, got the better of me.

The good thing is, my brother and I are just slightly weaker than the top 5. So it wasn't too bad and, even though, we lost to two of them in doubles(21-14), it was quite close and my shots are getting much much better...watch out Hock Chin!! Lolz.
Another good thing is that I beat my brother 21-19. It may seem too close to tell who is better than the other, but at least i can break his momentum of beating me consistently.

Tonight, there are the semi-final matches of the Swiss Open going on. Its at 9 pm , if i'm not mistaken. Only one Malaysian flag is being beared at this tournament...Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong. You would most likely recognise their names, as they are the winners of the prestigious All-England tournament. They will be going up against the legends, Candra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan tonight. So, don't miss it.

And in Formula 1, the beginning of the season has begun. In qualifying today, Kimi Raikkonen, who is replacing the great Michael Schumacher after his retirement at Ferrari last year, stole pole position from the Mclarens, after Felipe Massa, from Ferrari, had some problems with his car.

The surprise of the day was when the Super Aguri cars were performing extremely well, after a disappointing season last year, and Takuma Sato manage a 10th position on the grid. Lewis Hamilton, of Mclaren, is proving to everyone that he is a force to be reckon with an astounding performance on his debut season.
Tomorrow's race is bound to be an exciting one!

FLOOD!!!

Haha!!

Regarding the title above...the badminton court at 3k was flooded!!( okay, maybe i'm exaggerating a little).

the worker had to practically push the water out of the courts and then mop it...lolz.
This is the 1st time i have ever seen such a scene. And i think i'm getting very much better in badminton( OoO...i'm getting very confident).

And today in school, we had an economics test...and it wasn't as hard as the last time( hurray for me!), and it was freaking hot as well. The sun was just insane today!!!* still sweating*...lolz.

Today was probably a bad day for Wei Shiung, coz he lost his ring( rm 15 i tink)
when he bought slurpy...that is an expensive slurpy. And Juna dropped her books and stuff outside the student service onto another platform. We didn't know what to do, until Miss Marguerite came and say ...hurry up before someone sees...lolz. Then Juna climbed over to get her stuff. That was actually sort of hilarious.

After that, they(Serene, Eu Jin and Juna) were going to meet up with Florence and Su Wei( after helping Florence finish washing her clothes). But i went home ledi.
So overall, today was full of ups and downs.
