Throwback #1

#494

18th December

Alright, so very unfortunately I did not post anything since 2nd December and after back from Taiwan, there are pretty lots of stuffs to talk about.

Yet, I'm still not recovered from my tiredness and somehow I got a little cough, maybe can't deal with the change of weather.

But anyway, I will try to complete at least 4 posts in this week about the F4 gathering, Taiwan trip and CLHS prom night 2016.

First of all, in this post I will throwback to 3rd December for the F4 gathering.

Yupe for sure it is quite hard to gather all of us now for some reasons, as I'm quite pity for fat jia kai to pm everyone one by one to ask whether can attend or not.

Ya fyi if this event posted in group most of us would seen or do not want seen cuz' can't take any decision for granted. 

Anyway still have to thanks for my friends who "ran" through markets to buy the steamboat and BBQ foods, and also thanks fat jia kai's parents for helping us to set up too.

Well I went there by carpooling with Kar Oon as we went to town area to buy souvenirs for the students' exchange program before going to fat jia kai's house for the gathering.

Anyway, I went to Taiwan while Kar Oon went to Shanghai for the program.

We were not that late to reach there but somehow they had finished barbecuing the food, so we did not have to wait haha XD

I actually took an ice-cooler-ful of jelly (as suggested by my mom) so that there are desserts to have after having those food with 热气, and luckily the cooler is emptied, and some jelly that haven't finished are brought back home from my friends.

Well, not only eating, we also had fun by playing pool! Ya there's a pool table just about 10 metres away from the BBQ yard for entertainment.

As fat jia kai is the resident of the apartment he can use it anytime but have to apply from the administrator of the apartment.

The first time to play pool, I was like... okay, I'm so bad at this highly-technique game, but quite a new experience too.

We eat and have fun until around 12am, and left some of us to clean off everything, and I reached home around 12.20am, but pretty sure this is not the latest time to back home lol.

So, here are the pictures we have, all credits to Hao Kai:

Serious mou?

Unknown posture lol.

Love and... doubt?

南无阿弥陀佛，善哉善哉... XD

DAB!

感想 will be written at prom night to make a whole conclusion for this post and the post of prom night as overall.

Okay so this is the first throwback and I still have maybe two more events to write for, so stay tune!

Bye~

December Again

#493

2nd December

(Source: www.theatrebythebay.com)

Hello December and for sure, again, this is the month of Christmas.

Em... Nothing to be excited about, but hell no, 2016 is going to an end soon?

That is really fast than I thought....

So, counting the days, 5 more days and I will be at another island, haha get it?

What I mean is Taiwan of cuz', and it is an island country.

Well, it seems like I had about 2 years didn't take an airplane, so I'm not pretty sure still used to the progress as this is the first time to travel overseas.

A little bit nervous and yet hope that can learn how to check-in so that I can do it on my own and my family in future when traveling.

I can't believe that everything in my Sixth Form life is going to be concluded in no time, as the prom night is coming soon after a fortnight. 

Specially for that day, dressed in formal like gentlemen and ladies, black suit, dresses and gowns, a pretty elegant night to be expected.

This is also another reason why I wish to enroll Form Six, but just not because of this prom night and don't care the academic results.

As I saw too much photos of my friends who dressed so formal, I told myself I want to be as handsome as them too.

At last, the chance of being the way I also wished to be is finally coming soon.

It's already grasp in my hand since 5 May 2015, where everything starts.

Alright, just a short update post.

Tomorrow it would be our F4 gathering and in no time there's another farewell lunch/dinner (not confirm yet) for PA Society committees 15/16.

Pretty not sure will post on here or not but confirm there will be a post before traveling to Taiwan and about 2 posts to talk about my tour at Taiwan after returning home.

Oh yup, of cuz' I will write a post about the prom night, and another post which is really related to my blog.

So, in total, stay tune for the 5 posts that will coming soon this month.

Bye~

Reveal

#492
24th November

Finally, I had finished the last paper, the repeat paper of PA Sem 2 yesterday.
Yay~~ So then it's the freedom!!!
But this is just for me and for those who did not retake, as there is still another Chemistry Sem 2 repeat paper next Tuesday.
So for those who are going to repeat this paper, jiayou and be the luck always by your side!

And now, I'm going to reveal the final hint about my dream, as the time is getting closer to achieve that.
Alright, dum dum dum~~~

Hint 10:

For sure, this is too easy to be guessed.

Yupe so here is the reveal.

MY DREAM: GO TO TAIWAN 

This is actually initiated since ISC in July, as they are so friendly and they had make me to want to pay a visit at this beautiful country.

Guess what? I took the chance and this is the first ever foreign countries that I will visit soon.

Quite unbelievable right? As I thought the first foreign country to be visited might be Singapore, Indonesia or Thailand.

But then, it turned up to be Taiwan, even though I follow as school tour.

Well, it's quite reasonable to pick up this opportunity becuz' I'll maybe doing development in Taiwan.

All in all, 3 dreams are achievable at the same time.

1) Pay a visit to Taiwan.

2) Represent school to foreign countries in whatever kind of activities, in this case I represent Penang CLHS for students' exchanged prograam.

3) Wear blazer that represent CLHS.

Yup I know the last dream is quite weird but actually I felt like wearing CLHS blazer is an honour to me, and also I feel proud to be at least represent my school once to foreign countries to show the mightiness and excellent achievement of our school.

I had always wish to wear the school blazer, but then the chances are quite impossible for me to get from during Form 1 to Form 5, unless you are a prefect.

I'm not good in cocurriculum activities as well so it's quite impossible for me to represent my school at foreign countries.

Well, actually I have to thank my parents for allowing me to go to Taiwan, my dad even helped me a lot when applying for the passport.

Even though they pay the expenses, but I could not let them pay just for me to get everything but they get nothing, so I promised to return all of them after I got part-time job next year.

Of cuz' I will return the money in the way of installment lol...

Okay, so let us recap and recombine all hints together and see how are those hints related to my dream to Taiwan.

Alright, I started to post the first hint... I think, since August right?

Anyway, that hint is actually quite obvious at some point, since those two letter "T" and "W" might trigger your brain cells come out "Taiwan".

Eventually I'm not quite sure too since it may represent other things.

1) "TW" means Taiwan.

2) This "LOVE" symbol is quite popular in the whole world, I bet you seen this sculpture before on Internet right? Yup this sculpture can be found in Taiwan too.

(Source: http://www.waymarking.com)

This LOVE sculpture is located at Taipei 101.

3) Water with pH 7, well this is not science or what, it is just a plain water. Get it? In chinese, since water is tasteless, so we describe it as "淡", and water is "水", so combine together, you will get 淡水, which is one of the popular tourist destination in Taiwan. Haha couldn't believe that right?

4) Those flowers are plum flower 梅花, which is the national flower of Taiwan.

5) This yellow and black hint is quite hard haha, but I rmb to tell you guys to watch more TV. This hint is actually represent Taiwan's entertaining program called "综艺玩很大". Can guess it now? Yupe, there are two teams versus with each other, one is yellow team lead by 吴宗宪 and black team lead by different artists in each episode, but mostly ppl sure recognise KID 林柏昇 haha, the one they called 疯面仔.

6) Pearl necklace and Rene 刘若英? How is it can be a hint? Yes they can, pearl in chinese called "珍珠", while 刘若英 has a nickname called "奶茶”, so by combination, you get 珍珠奶茶! This drink is so Taiwan omaigosh~

7) The code #472FS3 is actually means the 472th post of my blog and the third foreign school that participated ISC 2016. Get it? Yupe, which is Taipei Municipal Li Shan Senior High School, Taiwan 台灣台北市麗山高中. So, this time, we will pay a visit to their school.

8) The lake in the picture is known as Chiaming Lake 嘉明湖, located at Taitung county of Taiwan, but most probably we won't visit that place since it is too far from Taipei and it is on top of mountain too.

9) The three symbols are sun, moon and wave (represent water), as combination in chinese you will get 日月潭, which is also another popular tourist destination in Taiwan. Well, I don't think we will go visit this place too during the trip.

Yup, that's it, I'm pretty excited for this trip and for sure I will post the trip in this blog.

Stay tune for that.

Bye~~

Stairs to Freedom

#491

12th November

(Source: West 187th Street stairs from below, Beyond My Ken, www.commons.wikimedia.org)

Hello everybody, the webmaster had gone through the final week of hell and now I'm almost having my freedom soon.

Yupe in other words I'm on the ground, waiting to climb up the stairs that lead to freedom!

So, basically, it's just that 6.5 hours, I thought I had went through a lot, but at the end everything seems just a normal ending as well, no cheering or throwing bags (well becuz' there are people's still studying for repeat papers).

That's not the only reason, another thing you have to face is the decision, the next step that had to be made.

No wonder, as I said before, the end of something is the start of something.

Decision came along with a lot of considerations and doubts, and as always, they are totally unpredictable.

Well, that would come along soon, just wait...

Em, planning for the days after leaving school?

Not prepared for lol... Ya I would start looking for a job starting next year January.

But before that I wouldn't just stare at the laptop lol, of cuz' that would be very boring.

Well, before start looking for a job, for sure I'm gonna do any interesting thing that I liked.

Currently, I'm tidying up my room and rearrange my cupboard for a fresher look.

Definitely, new look would give spaces so that it wouldn't feel so "tight-visioned".

Ya, I think that's my plan, but on the other hand the dream is going to be come true, too!

Now, the important preparations had done, and now the other preparations are on the way.

Anyway, here's the second last hint:

Well, this is the most obvious hint, I think?

Anyway, the last hint is coming up soon, that time it's gonna to be near the end of November, after I had finished the one and only repeat paper lol.

Now, I'm waiting to be "booked", whoever interested pls kindly contact me haha.

Of cuz' not what you think of "that", I mean teaching for those who are preparing for the repeat papers.

Bye~

Lastly

#490
1st November

You have a lot of ways to overcome problems.

You have a lot of circumstances to consider for multiple choices.

You have a lot of considerations before taking a big, bold step.

However, you do not have any chance to know what is your future in the next stop.

Things are always uncertain.
And so do I, and I'm glad that I'm realise about this cruel fact.
Even though I'd been through a lot, I lost, I gained, I replenished those that are unmissable, I left out things...
...Yet, all couldn't determine everything that may happen on you.
The possibilities are beyond infinity, as what I said before, life is uncertain.

Well, next week is the final battle, and after that 6.5 hours, the freedom is on, and all you have to do, is depend on your confidence, and luck.
I had a lot of thoughts on each possibility that may happen.
The worst, not to say, that gave me to pop out a few final resorts to recover the depressed hope.
I seen through several examples, some well-educated people, due to cruel reality and the pressure in life, had to return to zero.
The fact that is, am I a well-educated people? I'm not pretty sure.
It's just that I'm maybe the intermediate of the best and the worst, I just hope that I'm really in that peer, but I'm not criticising that education cannot change reality.
Instead, life is determined by your movements. Every single move is so vital, that you may not ready to take a drastic turn as well, but you still have to consider that.

I'd jumped out a lot of thoughts before that, honestly, I'm not ready for the worst.
But, the force to accept it is too powerful for me to restrain, that everything may return to zero.
I still have to accept the fate.
Nonetheless, I want to create my choices.
Restarting is common, but how strong is your perseverance is always a question.

Stay alive, life is unfair and uncertain.
I'm always be here, forever, fighting through the uncertainties.
Staying alive is the power, work hard is the effort.
Good luck. Final mission on...
