Peralihan Students = Tiada Harapan?

I don't think so.

Most teachers and prefects hate them. They think that these kids are just a bunch of hyperactive, stupid, hopeless kids. They look down on them. They don't care if these kids get proper education or not. They think that these kids exist without a reason.

Priority is given to students of good classes only. For example, the 'mini library'. They PIBG allocated these shelfs of books for good classes only. By right they should allocate them for the weaker students so that they can develop reading habits and improve. The problem is, they don't care. They don't care if these children are able to earn a living in the future, they give everything to the good students because apparently they want them to "mengharumkan nama sekolah". Damn, is the NAMA of the SEKOLAH really that important? More important than the lives of these children? They'll gain a better NAMA if they're famous for helping weak students out and help them achieve at least a couple of B's in their examinations.

Today, I was helping a teacher to take care of the Peralihan class while she was off to do some stuff. She gave them some work to do and I was to make sure that they complete it. They don't understand what the teacher said when she said she had to go out. So most of them questioned me, "Puan Saras leh?"; "Puan Saras qu na li? ("Where did Puan Saras went to?" in Chinese). I just told them that she went for a meeting so I don't have to explain more. As usual, I used my rojak language.

"Puan Saras qu meeting."

[ Puan = Mrs in Malay ]
[ Saras = an Indian name ]
[ qu = went to in Chinese ]
[ meeting = is, well, meeting in English ]

W00t! 4 languages! Apa la saya ._. They don't understand the meaning of "meeting" and asked me what "meeting" was. I told them meeting means kai hui in Chinese. One of the boys said, "Yuan lai kai hui ying wen jiao 'meeting', jin tian wo you xue hui le yi ge ying wen zi! Xie xie!" ("Now I know that kai hui means 'meeting' in English, today I learnt another new word! Thank you!") They were so polite! And so enthusiastic towards learning! How can such kids be neglected?

I remembered there was a year, when some of my class students made friends with students from the weaker classes, and one of the teacher said, "Don't be too close with them, these students all ah, takda harapan one!" Now we are not even supposed to talk to them? Great.

Sometimes it's really sad when you think of them =/ It's like, they come to school for nothing. They can't even read or write, and the teachers? Teachers just give them work which they only need to copy stuffs blindly from their books, and leave them there while they mind their own businesses. Is this called education? Education is about learning. Now tell me, are they learning anything while they're copying stuffs BLINDLY?

If this is the case, they might as well stay at home and enjoy their lives. No point of coming to school at all, since they're abandoned like they have no place in this society. The ministry should do something to help these kids, and not focus on pressuring capable students to get straight useless A's, which don't help in any way or there won't be jobless graduates lurking all over Malaysia.

It is time Malaysia wake up and see what damage the society has done to itself. No wonder we are so far back other countries. Our education produces thousands of illiterate students every year. How effective is that?

MENSAAAAAAAAA xD

OH.MY.GOD.

Guess what I saw in my mailbox just now when I got home? A letter from MENSA! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

*ahem* They said that if I were accepted into Mensa, an application letter would be included in the letter. So before I opened it, I was feeling it, and I was like, "OMG I THINK THERE'S TWO PAPERS IN THERE! ONE PAPER CAN'T MAKE IT THAT THICK! OMGOMGOMG." My mum was like, "-.- Just open it." LOL.

And so I did xD Guess what? THEY ACCEPTED ME! W00T! WITH AN IQ OF 160!!! I'm overreacting o_o *ahem ahem*

The Letter.

I'm sure there are much, much more people out there with far more higher scores than me. But I'm happy enough with this result :P *Chants* I'm going to Mensa... I'm going to Mensa... I'm going to Mensa...

I don't know why but I kinda have the feeling that one day I will say, "Har.. Today got meeting again ar? Haih, lazy to go lah, dowan to go lah!" o_o I mean, people do get bored of something after some time, right? Hope the activities won't bore me then xD Jolene must JOIN! Itu Scrabble pro dah tak tau pigi mana sorok o_o *Organizes a Jolene-hunt* :P

Okay! Continue next time! Too happy to do anything xD

Adios !~*

Faint Memories

I don't remember him much. I was only two years old.
I do have a faint memory though, of him taking me to a bird park.
He showed me a hornbill, perched right on top the roof.
I remembered him carrying me outside, to get a better look.

I don't remember other times, even with the help of photos.
All I can do is point at him and say, "This, is my father."
I don't remember how he sounds like, or how he used to carry me.
All I can say is, I miss him dearly.

I remembered one day, my mum took me to a place.
It looks like a field, with grass ever so green.
On it were grey coloured box-like objects lining neatly.
Where is my father? I kept on looking around.

Finally, I asked my mum:
"Mummy, where is Papa?"

I remembered seeing tears flow down my mum's face.
She hugged me and said, "Papa has already gone away."
I don't understand, why my mum was crying.
I don't get it, where has my father went?

From that day, I hadn't seen him.
Everyday, I asked, and I asked, and I asked.
I don't get what the adults are saying, why did my father leave?
Finally I stopped. Tired of asking.

One day, when I grew older, my mum called for me.
Then bit by bit, I started to understand.
The mystery of where my father had went.
I only listened, and listened, and listened.

My father had cancer. My father had no choice.
He wanted to live on, he wanted to see me grow.
But one day he knew, and said, "I'm fighting a losing battle."
And that was the end, I hadn't seen him since then.

Why must this happen? Why must he leave?
What will it be like if it had never end?
Will I be better? Will he be proud?
I don't know, answering these questions is something no one ever can.



Another post to express myself. I'm sick and not doing anything, so I have a huge load of time to daydream. My mind just so carelessly wandered there.

Some Random Post

Ah, what's better to do on a Friday evening that to blog? =)

Dang, I think I'm falling sick again. Coughing like mad and with a bad sorethroat, my backbone hurts and I don't know why, my neck is creaking like I've never turned it for centuries, and I sense a fever coming. What has happened to me? I wasn't so weak before, in fact I only fall sick like once a year at the very most. It's like my body gave up on life and don't care about defending anything anymore. Who got chicken pox can pass to me, pwease? o_o I haven't got it, so I need to get it and since my body is so weak now, I can get it easily =P

@_@ OMG xD I think I'm gonna put on loads of weight if I continue to eat like that. I cannot stand the hunger till I have to resort to eating even in class. Okay, maybe that's a habit ._. But seriously! I get hungry ever so often. What the hell is happening to me? =S I'm already 49kg lar.. Stop adding on it >_<

There are some mini aims I've set for myself, but I don't have a strong will, so yeah..

1. Get as far as I can away from my laptop.
2. Complete all my homework.
3. Listen to the lessons in class and stop daydreaming.
4. Start studying for my mid-year exams.
5. Exercise to lose some weight.
6. Wear my retainers.

o_o Lol. Impossible to do, huh? XD

Oh yea, I was wondering if I should take like 14 or 15 subjects for my SPM? @_@ Or just stick to 12? Actually, anyone could take that amount of subjects and score straight 1A's if they really want to. But the thing is, why suffer? I don't think I'm gonna waste my teenagerhood for a few days of satisfaction and a few years of free studies. And I don't wanna take Chinese so that leaves me with only 11 subjects o_o Aiyah, cukup lah xD Not like I'm gonna study anyway.

Okie, gotta go for my dinner! Adios people =]

A Love Story...


"Promises are meant to be kept..."


From the very begining, the girl's family objected strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has got to do with family background, and that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.

Due to family's pressure, the couple quarrel very often. Though the girl love the guy deeply, but she always ask him: "How deep is your love for me?"

As the guy is not good with his words, this often cause the girl to be very upset. With that & the family's pressure, the girl often vent her anger on him. As for him, he only endure it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated and decided to further his studies in overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl: "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?"

The girl agreed, and with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in and agreed to let them get married. So before he leave, they got engaged.

The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it's hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realised that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh.

She had lost her voice. The doctors says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down.

During the stay in hospital, besides silent cries, it's still just silent cries that accompanied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart everytime it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know. And not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions and millions of reply, and countless number of phone calls, but all the girl could do, besides crying, is still crying...

Not long after, she joined a school that teaches sign language. Her parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything and be happy.

With a new environment, the girl learned sign language and started a new life, telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came and told her that he is back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him.

A year has passed and her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered.

But, when she opened the letter, she saw her name in it instead.When she was about to ask her friend what was going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her.

He used sign language to tell her, "I've spent a year's time to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I love you."

With that, he slipped the ring into her finger.



When you tell someone that you love them, mean it.

Mensa, Mensa, Mensa!

I took the Mensa IQ test at the National Mensa office 2 days ago.

"The name ‘Mensa’ comes from a Latin word which has three meanings: ‘mind’, ‘table’ or 'month’, which neatly encapsulates the founders’ vision of monthly meetings of great minds around a table, a common Mensa event that continues today. Mensa is, basically a social club - but a social club different from all others. The only qualification for membership is a high score on an intelligence test. "

I really hope I pass this test. I read from the papers that there's a NASA program planned for Mensa members xD I'm going to Mars!!! =D I NEED to go to Mars! There are Martians waiting for me! xD Muahahaha.. *ahem ahem* ._.

Enough about Mensa. Earlier that day, I went to my school to attend the Hari Kecemerlangan event, which they will give awards to students who achieve good grades. I'm there along with almost all my classmates to receive the award for PMR xD Stupid school won't let us watch the performance. Apparently, we have to line up outside to prepare to walk up on stage almost HALF AN HOUR before we receive our prize. What the... -__- Now I'll have to wait for someone to post the video up to YouTube.

Back to the good part of the day. After we got our awards, some of my classmates quickly tore open the 2 envelopes which came together with the certificates. Guess what we got? A voucher for us to claim a free pizza meal, a Domino's Pizza Gold Card (we get a free pizza for every pizza purchased for more than a year), and the juiciest part, an RM100 note! W00t! Not bad for getting good results which I didn't study much for =P

I don't know, but money doesn't seem to matter to me very much o.O I went home, took out the RM100 note, handed it to my mum and said, "Nah, mummy." She keeps it in her pocket and, that was the end o_o Lol.

OMFG, how dare that cat invade my home again when I'm blogging?!! Be right back. *catches cat* Alrighty! Here's another picture of the cat and me with my bad hair day again -_- :


Oi, cat! Look at the screen!


GOOD! Stay still!

One hand holding that freaking cat, one hand pressing the button to take the picture =.= Chased that cat out of my house and closed the door xD *wonders why that crazy cat loves to follow me*

Kayz, gotta go complete my homework! Lol, going to school in a couple of hours and I'm still not done with homework - blogging some more!

Ciao peeps.

Success R' Us = Suck-sest R' Us?

This company is reaaaally getting out of control -__- Especially with the current Managing Director, or I should say Problem Creator.

Seriously. Does she seriously think that anyone would actually BUY the CD because they want only one of the pictures in it? And when she asked for our opinions, we did give her a list of reasons of why we object this project. And in the end? Our efforts just go to waste. She doesn't listen. And she keeps denying it when we said that she wouldn't listen to us, saying that she already asked us but we did not say anything. Deaf meh? <_< style="font-style: italic;">paying people to work for them), she said in a very frustrated way, "How much you wanna claimmmm?" With the long drag.

So I didn't. And the second time, she asked me to do the same thing and I did. And she told me during the last minute that it isn't needed anymore. But I already finished doing everything. Guess what she said?

"You told me at the last minute, I already photostatted everything."
"Uhmmm.. Take for recycling lah!"
"Wah, you think no need cost one ah?"
"Uhmmm.. The money is with Puan Lucy." *walks off*

Shit. So 'responsible', hor? Informing people at the last minute and not taking responsibility for her own mistakes. Then nevermind. Don't claim don't claim, lah! And when someone in my class knew about this, she told the MD about it and the MD SMS-ed me:

"Since when i dont let u claim! i tOlD u to claim from Tan! n i never told u u couldent claim! next time if ur angry about something tell me straight."

Please excuse HER spelling -__- Did I say I was angry? Did I show that I was angry? I was just not happy with her attitude of doing things. Not because of money and stuff. Besides, I already told the Finance Director about it and he asked me to ask the MD because he was clueless. I asked her and she did not say anything.

And she left me a voice message (I forgot to bring my phone out):

"Hello, Angelina ah, ABC here. I heard from DEF that you told her that I don't let you claim. I don't remember telling you that you cannot claim. I told you to get from Tan, if he doesn't know you should come to me straight. Don't bother DEF and let her act as a third party. I don't know what is going on now, if you're pissed about me tell me then. I don't know why you don't want to answer my call or what. Anyway, just call me back as soon as possible."

Uh-huh. Let me list out what actually happened:

1. I did not tell DEF.
2. I did not say she told me that I cannot claim. But her body language and tone shows that she is frustrated, like why am I so over such a small matter. Business is business. Every single cent counts. I am not donating to charity, FYI.
3. I did tell her, and she didn't bother to even answer me.
4. I did not bother DEF at all. My conversations with DEF are mainly on the projects the company was carrying out. DEF overheard my conversations with my friends, I assume.
5. I am not pissed about that matter. I did not show or say that I am. It is only her assumption.
6. I did not bring my phone out as it was not necessary, why would I not answer her call?

*Prepares for some screaming on Monday* The MD never talks. She screams.

One more problem with her, she thinks that everyone should know what is on her mind. Let me list a few examples:

On sports day:
MD: WHERE IS ALL MY THINGS I BROUGHT?!
Members: Huh? No idea. We didn't see them.
MD: YOU ALL LAH! ALWAYS MAKE MY THINGS MISSING! SEE NOW! WHERE TO GET THE PLASTIC BAGS?!

** "... always make my things missing." Wow. Always. **

During the pizza-selling for the "Tandas Project":
Jill and me: *Taps MD's shoulder* Erm, why are the students going to the other counter only? What about this counter?
MD: HAIYO! WHY YOU ALL EVERYTHING ALSO NEED ME TO TELL ONE?! DONNO HOW TO DO YOURSELVES MEH?! THIS COUNTER IS FOR FREE-SELLING ONE! THAT COUNTER FOR THOSE WHO ORDERED ALREADY! HUI-YOH.
Jill and me: Uhm, okay. Where are the knives then? We can't seem to find it.
MD: HAIYO! TAKE YOURSELVES LAH! *Takes a knife out of the plastic bag* DON'T EVERYTHING ALSO NEED ME TO SAY!

** Uh, hello? We don't share brains? **

There are many, many other times which she acted worse. Just that I wasn't there. I just heard from other members. Many are not happy. In my opinion, she's not gonna hold this post for long, seeing her attitude is getting from bad to worse. Some people are already planning to bring her down the next meeting, I support them. The company won't succeed long with this kind of administration. I can guarantee that.

Bye-bye MD. We will miss you... not.

I hate cats <_<

STUPID cat invaded my home during midnight and I hate to chase it out over and over again or I will have to sleep with the door close and I will feel sweating hot! (I sleep in the living room cause I like it, by the way) This is a picture of it.


Okay ._. I know I look.. devilish or whatever you wanna say @_@ I was wrestling it to get it to take this picture so I can get it up on my blog ~_~ Freaking cat.

I took it and turned around and around till it went dizzy and ran in circles xD *SORWEE CAT LOVERS >_<"!* I hope it's gone for good now. I decided to close the door. Sweating here -_-

A Thought...

Out of curiousity, I downloaded a free copy of The Satanic Bible to have a glance at it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Satanist, lol. Not interested in being one either.

Anyway, here's part of its contents that caught my eye:

When a Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that it is natural to make a mistake - and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn from it and take care not to do the same thing again. If he is not honestly sorry about what he has done, and knows that he will do the same thing over and over, he has no business confessing and asking for forgiveness in the first place. But this is exactly what happens. People confess their sins so that they can clear consciences - and be free to go out and sin again, usually the same sin.

I started to wonder, don't some Christians do this too? They sin, then go to church and confess everything, and then sin again. Well, not only Christians. I'm talking about people of all religions. I'm just taking Christians as examples as they despise Satan. But, how different are we compared to Satanists if we do the same thing?

I can't help but agree with this part of the Satanic Bible. I think that if one sincerely wants to change oneself, one can. But if that thought isn't sincere, a thousand, perhaps a million confessions wouldn't lead to a change.

Greatest example is me. I told myself that I must change. I can NOT be glued to this freaking computer screen the minute I reach home. But, I failed. The urge is too strong. I confess! I made a mistake by procrastinating. Oh, please forgive me. I shall change!

...
...
...

o.O

...
...
...

I'm still here. Get what I mean? Lol. Gosh o_o I must be Satanic.

Amen.

Scrabble Crabble Mabble Wabble

Took part in an inter-school Scrabble competition today, and I was so, so sick T_T Was having fever, sore throat, the worst headache ever, sneezing, coughing... Omg, why must this happen to me today! But, out of luck, I won all three games. Especially the last round, that was TOTAL luck. My opponent almost got more than 30 points extra if he was one bit more lucky than me! He's a really good player as I can see. And his calculations - DAMN FAST! Okay, maybe I was blur so I was slower =.=" But seriously, he is good. Pro-ness :P

Hmm, the first round, one person from the opposition team was someone I know since childhood. Always fight with him de - and win him somemore xD I scarred his face once @@ Lol. Dah form 5 sekarang~ If I fight now ar, die lo =.=" Anyway, for one of my last words, I 'tembak-ed' a word called 'meld'. Didn't know if it was in the dictionary but my opponent didn't challenge me xD I searched the dictionary after that and it exists! WTFZOMG O_O

The second round, one of the players was my Biology teacher's daughter. Quite noob I should say o.O My friend challenged her a word and won xD My opponent lost to me more than 90 points. Second round was the easiest round =) I really love the first round the most cause the guy sitting in the middle was really acting funny xD Banyak cakap, lol.

Third round, the tensest atmosphere. We were all soooo close to winning each other, and my luck is turning its back on me. My sickness is all acting up too =.=" I can't even calculate right (explains the number of corrections in my score sheet). There's once I had 'A', 'E', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U', 'U' on my rack! What the freak o_o How am I supposed to make words out of those? Sheesh. Only scored around 10 points that round. I think it's less than that -_- In the end, I won by a mere 15 points. Thank you Triple Word bonus box!! xD

Our school won the 2nd place and will be representing Puchong zone to take part in the district competition. O-M-G =.=" I was too sick to even feel happy or anything. And I only got rank 8~ First 2 ranks from the same school. Giler punya SMK Puchong Utama =/

Nothing much after that. Went home, had fever, sneezed, coughed, slept, woke up, ate porridge, ate panadol, slept, woke up, ate porridge, ate vitamins, played SDO, blogged... xD Not really a good day for me, not that bad either =)

Teh scwabble n00bz signs off~! :P

Qing Ming Festival

The Qing Ming Festival is here again and I headed to the Nilai Memorial Park to pay respect to my grandfather who passed away when I was only 8. Though I'm a Christian, I don't mind holding joss sticks and praying (in my own way cause I don't know how it really works XD). I'm sure my grandfather doesn't mind (=X), cause I'm sure he understands what I'm saying ^^

One of my aunt, a Christian, did not attend. She even forbade my cousins from going. I am really surprised and shocked at her behaviour and attitude. I mean, despite the different religion, he's still your father, right? No one's forcing you to pray with joss sticks, you can pray in your Christian way or whatever, the most important thing is respect! But, what can I say... If I voice out my opinions, they sure cakap banyak-banyak.

There's one more thing I find funny about this whole Qing Ming thingy. People burn houses, treasures and even money to the dead. Do they seriously think those stuff will actually reach 'there'? Nowadays ah, somemore got Mercedes Benz, Astro, DVD player, laptop, computer, plasma TV... I even saw a HUGE bungalow with servants inside! Wah, nice life the dead are having, like that I'd rather die early =.=" Don't forget to burn down the whole TMNet company for me arr!! Also remember to burn Microsoft and Dell! Don't forget Gameflier too! LOL, craps.

Every year I go there, the smoke is making my life shorter and shorter. Nice plan dudes, trying to earn more cash, huh? Don't worry, burying me at the back of my house is enough. Seriously, by burning stuff, it really is polluting heaven and adding more fire to hell. There are already holes in the ozone layer. Plus, lungs full of smoke can cause cancer and other diseases. Trying to wipe out humanity meh?

After praying, some people still so song having a 'picnic' there! Eating the offerings! Life not short enough meh =/ We have to wait till my grandfather finishes eating after presenting the offerings. The weather was getting really hot and I asked my mum, "Mummy, when will gong gong finish eating?" My mum told me that they will flip two coins until one is head up and the other is tail up, which symbolizes that my grandfather is done. What the... Ah well, the Chinese have weird superstitions XD

Nothing much after that, I took a pear, which was one of the offerings, home. At least the skin can be peeled off so it's quite hygienic.
