orientation

june 23, 2009

Today was the form 6 Orientation of SMK Seri Pantai la...
Upper 6 students "kenakan" the lower 6 students...
Personally, I don't categorize this as an orientation for there was not much mixing between the junior and the seniors, rather it was more like telematch among the lower 6 students...
The lower Six-ers were a not sporting la...they "merajuk" very fast, quite spoilt...majority were angry with the activities arranged.
I liked the closing speech by our vice-president of PERTINA (persatuan tingkatan enam), Alif Idham. He said all this activity was not meant for ragging, instead the motive was to build teamwork among the lower 6s and in the process, look out for potential leaders...leader for clubs, uniform, games, prefect and librarians...basicly to find the "penapis" for our departure :)
Really cool right?
Our PERTINA advisor teachers were a superb bunch of sporting teachers. They did the "pocho-pocho" and chicken dance with all the form 6s...the fact that they actually volunteered to do and lead us was interesting =P

Oh, why orientation so late? because we wanted to have orientation with those who are confirmed staying in school, so the orientation won't be a waste of effort and so that the orientation is more meaningful...therefore it is only after the switching period.

Ok, Mr Nanda's back already..the class did a treaty with him.
PeRjAnJiAn 6 Atas Aspirasi-En Nanda 19th June 2009
Here were our conditions after apologizing & to show our seriousness:

2. we won't mind him calling us "mabuk" or stuff like that, we promise to not get offended.
3. Give us 2 months, if there's no improvement on our side then Mr Nanda is free to leave us. (Oh my, can we really improve ar? Scared la)

this pula is Mr Nanda's conditions:
1. If there is no full attendance for Sunday extra classes, he will cancel the extra classes and we will all not be able to finish our syllabus in time.

economy blues

17 june 09

My economy teacher merajuk today. He was very angry, disappointed with my class because only 4 students pass the economy paper but 16 students including me failed his paper. He scolded us and told us either we change our attitude or we change teacher.
Mr Nanda is a very cool and nice economy teacher, he teaches us like tadika children, right from the basics..haha. This is because all of us are super weak in mathematics. The highest my class got for modern maths SPM 2007 is C and majority failed or the alphabets after C. (I always thought he should be a mathematics teacher)
Anyway, after he merajuk in class, he went out our class...making the class feel regret and sorry.

As I was falling asleep, I saw a vision of my hair being snip off..."Oh, NO!!!"(me)
It was a warning sign from Above. "Remember your promise, Mfoong"(God)

Today Pn Lailatul(Pengurusan Perniagaan teacher) said the one who sleeps the most is the one who got the lowest mark in PP...
Yesterday Rachel said my hair is long....
People ask me when am I going to cut my hair.

Here's some things:
I personally dislike having LONG hair. It's a burden, it's a lot of work, it's very tiresome and it really sucks.
So, why am I growing long hair now if I don't like having long hair? Good question.
It's a promise I made with God last year before I entered Form 6. I was complaining to God that Form 6 is "claimed" to be the world's top 5th hardest exams la..How am I going to get through it?... Bla bla bla & then I said to myself, "OK, if I can jaga my hair then I can go through STPM...I mean if I can jaga small things, I can jaga big things...If I can go though 1.5 years with long hair, I can go though 1.5 years through Stpm". I promised God I'm not going to cut my hair till the last day of STPM. Therefore, cutting my hair = I give up...I cannot jaga my hair, too ma fan la or STPM is too difficult la

Acts 18:18
Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchrea because of a vow he had taken

BTN camp part 2

16 June 09

during the BTN camp..when they sent us to sleep at 12am den woke us up at 2.30 am for an activity....i remember we were given numbers n i was 24..there was 35 in all la...then I slept on the tar road...when i woke up, there was only 2 other campers n a facilitator...

The activity finished at 5am..then they send send us to sleep n we had to wake up at 5.30am....i remember sleeping n when i woke up it was 7.30am, i was in d dorm with another girl...every1 else was down stairs...how come every1 forgot me? Usually we cannot eat until every1 arrives, but that day nobody noticed that i was still asleep...den when i went down...they all asked me where was I gone to? Huh?
[ Sabrina said: oh! haha... maybe God knows u too tired and needed more rest so sent angels to keep u :) ]

there was 1 thing in camp which was really cool that happened.. to get into the girl's dorm u have to enter the toilet...the dorm is in the toilet..haha. we don't have the key to the toilet but we have the key to the dorm.. 1 day I was staring at my towel n i remembered RBS[Residential Bible School] (where A.May Lee told us to not put our towels in the dorm)...So I hanged my towel outside(it was dry i told myself this is d silly-est thing I'm doing)... i was lazy to go out side so i just opened my window cause my window was nearest to the clothes line... That day, some1 locked the toilet door...so having the dorm key was useless n we were all stuck outside...but then i remembered my window, climbed into the dorm n opened d toilet door...amazing isn't it..how RBS n God could make a difference

BTN camp post 1

14 june 2009

Before leaving to the campsite, our school Principle said the form 6's doesn't have kerjasama just because our "baju tak sama"..huh? She believes in 'unity is uniformity'...
In my heart I got even more afraid..."soon the next thing, she might say is I must wear tudung so that all uniform or not it show i don't have unity"...I disagree with 'uniformity is unity'...in a way, she is implying...Malaysia for Malays only.
Anyway, I believe in "unity in diversity"...Then only can masyarakat majmuk ma...
the BTN camp:
only my school..the upper 6 students and 3 lower 6 students. Amazingly Pui Yee came. 35 students in all. The camp was "Kursus Bina Negara Asas" by the "Biro Tatanegara, Jabatan Perdana Menteri"
at "Kem Rekreasi Intan Suraya, Sg Siput(U), Perak"...somewhat like a Leadership camp la.
The BTN camp was ok la...I went with a unwilling heart n came back with a "ok ok la" heart.
There I got to know that these classmates of mine are actually quite caring and Malays like hot or spicy food...everyday their food got chili! curry and durian...make the body hot also..haha..drinks all super sweet..can get diabetes I tell you!
Every activity had a purpose...that was a cool concept.
The place was quite forest-ty la, many trees and durian tress.When we reached the road.It was a dead end and then we had to change bus..old small "mini bus". That mini bus brought us about 1 km inside the "forest" where we saw the campsite...as we were in the mini bus, some was singing, then a form mate said "Jangan seronok sangat"...i ask her why, she said cause we are entering tempat "ORANG" (and she didn't mean humans)...later on during the camp, we had an activity...again i heard a similar remark by another form mate saying "Jangan gembira sangat, jangan takut sangat, jangan berani sangat"...what a strange concept...cannot enjoy camp, cannot be too happy, cannot show real feelings...2 person saw or heard these "ORANG" once during the camp...
The weather there was quite cool la...cold in the morning, cold in the evening and night, afternoon was not that hot..must be the greens and trees.
The camp was quite packed...sleeping time is 12am(the earliest) and the latest sleeping time was 2am... the time to wake up was 5.30am...not enough sleep duh...everyone had panda eyes and many were falling sick with flu, including me.
One of the activity was "berakit" somewhat like kayak la...8 tubes tied together with rafia and PVC pole-like thing and wood(papan)...and we got dayungs la...from our campsite Kem Rekreasi Intan Suraya, Sg Siput(U), Perak to Jabatan Perairan dan Saliran Kuala Kangsar. More than 10 km la...my team was funny, we cannot work together so the rakit was not really moving lah. it was a 5 hour program, but our team took like 6 hours which also included the boat towing our rakit cause we were jauh ketinggalan the pack..haha...There was 1 part, no matter how much we berdayung, we were not moving..hahaha.
berdayung for so many hours...shoulders pain, sit on the papan...butt pain. arms and feet is sunburnt...pain la...feel like we were human BBQ-ed under the scorching sun...d base of my foot's skin peeled...my group mate got blister-like wounds because she didn't keep wetting the tube n the tube was burning hot..so melecur la. The sunburn part is warm but the not sunburn part was cold..so our body got 2 different temperatures.. my arm got 2 diff colors n 2 diff temperature..LOL. The sunburn areas feels like we're burning...argh...
I learnt much and experienced many things...If I could blog during the camp, you would understand la...then you would read 4 long posts...I'm kinda afraid this is quite long already.
