40th District Interact Conference

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Heeeeeey all! :w00t: I AM BACK! From the conference, and i can tell you guys, honestly, I had a BOMB there!! Yeah. Definitely better than what i expected. The hotel was good! Obviously better than the dome that we all were supposed to stay at. We (Penang) came late and there is not enough rooms at the dome, so they are forced to book a hotel for us. Well, not only us, about 60 something 70. We thought the hotel is in a bad condition from the looks outside. But, it was different when we went inside. Not perfect la, but still, it is wayyyy better than the dome.

The first thing after we arrived, we were divided into groups. There are like 21 groups there. For around 426 people. (Approx.) Then, we had to come up with team cheers and slogans and a team name. You know, the normal stuffs for this type of programs. We were divided carefully. Nobody from the same state would be on the same team. At least nobody from my team that i knew. But of course, we got to know each other later on. Then, there is also an comedy session for all of us to enjoy. The comedian was introduce as “Russel Peters”. Of course, it was fake. It was actually a rotaractor named Ravinder Singh. His profession wasn’t a comedian but a lawyer. Yeah. His jokes are okay. Can say it is funny. Then, after that were some games. Won’t elaborate on that too much.

2nd day, the day where it counts the most. As activities that day were the most important ones. I only will mention some important ones. So, first up, some flag activities. Haha. Sorry. Then, follow on by speeches and then an indian speaker came and gave a talk, entitled “Forget No More”. He tought us how to memorize better. He’s an National Record Holder, as he memorized 1070 numbers/alphabets. He even demonstrated. Well, there are some errors but eventually he got it right. Then, follow on by lunch, and then more speeches and speech from rotaractor Bernard Hor. He is a CEO of SummerSands. Yeah! Haha. He thought us varies things. He said “Do you think it is perfectly fine not to know what are you going to do in the future?” Well, answer’s no. Oh well, he also said plenty of things which i would not like to elaborate on that as i’m lazy :tongue: Then, there’s an activity for us. Which lasts very long! From 3pm to 8.30pm. We were divided according to groups as arranged and worked together to create a business. And later have to convince the judges to invest in their business. And would have to use Power Point to present the presentation. And eventually, our team won!! *woo! applause!* Haha. Okay. After everything ended, it’s already 11 something. The bus only fetches those who stays at the hotel at 12.30am. So, That is when The Moo Moo club was started! :whistle: Rotaractor Bernard Hor and Rotaractor Calvin was the founder of this little club. They would hit the chairs the ask this question : “How many cows crossed THE FENCE?” There were quite a lot of people surrounding them, wanting to join the club. Some DID guess correct the answer and how they counted the cows. If one guess right the answer but couldn’t explain how they got the answer, is not inducted into this club. So, I, Johnny, Louis, Chee Hong and Darrenjit were sitting there for so long and still did not know how the cows were counted. Oh gawd! So frustrating la! Damn! And until now, I STILL DON’T KNOW HOW TO COUNT THOSE STUPID COWS!!!!! :cwy: Ahh! gave up. And during that recuiting of club members, that was when the Darrenjit and Princess thingy was on-going :devil: It’s damn funny! Haha.

3rd day, nothing much today. It’s the last day and there were not many activities. Just, dancing at the end. Oh well, pictures DO paint a thousand words. So.. Here goes. As promised, took plenty of photos!!! :silly:

So, this door, is very advance. Even those 5 stars hotels that i went before don’t have it. The door, has an alarm system. So, if the handle is pulled for too long, an alarm will sound. Of course the not too loud one! Just a ringing sound.

It was MY room and i had to sit on the floor!

Our Hotel – Comfort Hotel

Louis just came back from Hawaii.

Waiting for the bus.

Those Rotaractors/Rotarians have to dance! With a move-it move-it soundtrack!

The crowds.

Burger King Sungai Buloh!

Ah Ha! This guy. Let me talk more about this idiotic guy. How about a little intro on him? His name is Lim Boon Chui. (Stupid enough?) He is an rotarian (what a disgrace!) I really doubt he could be a rotarian, he is more like a teacher or something. Well, maybe he is. I don’t know, and don’t really care. So, scenario 1, first day, Louis got a cap, but it’s in a unfavourable condition. So, he requested the person there to change for him. So, this Boon Chui, was talking to the counter people about something and then Louis pops in and requested a change. The Boon Chui then, without hesitation, declined! He said “NOT NOW!” For god’s sake! He ain’t even the caretaker of the counter. He was just, i don’t know, doing something stupid there.

Scenario 2, Johnny’s nose was bleeding. At the hotel, Chee Hong being his room-mate, helped him in tidying up. I and louis and darren went down already. They were a bit late, we waited for them at the lobby. Then this boon chui then got angry and said the last person on the bus will get it. Then, that time Johnny was already down but Chee Hong wasn’t. He forgotten to bring something. Then, he is the last. And this boon chui scolded him. Tell everyone in the bus it is because of Chee Hong. Come on man! You are truly pathetic. And said chee hong is RESPONSIBLE for everything. lol.

Scenario 3, The last day. We (Penang) check-out early in the morning and then put our bags in a room around the hall there, For storage. Then, when we want to go back, we asked for the keys to those doors. And so unluckily he was there when we asked for the keys. He crapped that he wanted to see the president, the bus driver, the whoever in the world he would like to see until he is satisfied, then only he would give us the keys. For i-dont-know what reason he did that! My god! Boon Chui is pathetic! Useless! Retarded!

Boon Chui.

That’s Boon Chui right there! Doing something stupid again! haha. And it was me in the black-striped shirt

That’s ALLLL!!!

That means i have a good memory?

Ghost Seat

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

So, one day, i was in my father’s car. And i came across this cool car.

Not bad heh? Seems like lorry fees are too expensive. He’d rather sacrifice his safety for cash. Well, maybe that’s not the case. Maybe he didn’t want to transport the chair. Maybe, he don’t have much money to buy a seven-seater. But, i guess he have to fetch quite a number of people. But, there are not enough seats available IN the car. So, he just place a chair on TOP of the car, for people to sit. Gosh, i really wish i ain’t the one that gotta sit on top of the car Or maybe. It isn’t meant for people. Maybe, it’s for his spiritual friends. *Oh god! Please don’t come hunt me!* :ninja:

P/s How’s the picture’s effect? Kinda cool ya? It’s taken with my dearest phone. :w00t:

Friends > Exclusive Friends > Dead Relationship > ?

Friday, November 7th, 2008

So it started. He knew her. And she knew him. They have a lot in common.  They knew each other for a long time. And then, at a period. They were just inseparable. No one could stand in between them. But, that was a time when they had different intentions. The girl were suppose to help the boy out with something.

Ya, Now you know who i’m talking about ya. Don’t they look happy together?

Anyways, Continuing my story, But as time pass, the boy thought to himself,

“Why on earth would i wanna get that someone when i’m so close to her? I could just get the person that’s close to me!”

Ya, So, after some heavy thinking. He decided to tell her(nattasha) the truth. At first, he dare not tell her face-to-face. He had a plan in mind. He asked his friend, to help him out. He asked his friend to tell her yassin’s feeling. Her first reaction that time were, “EEWWW!!” . Ya, eeww. But, of course, that’s just acting. She didn’t want to show her true feelings though. Then, few days later. From what i hear, she DID show quite a lot of interest in him. He was so confident. He made a bet with me. Haha. Ya, but he lost

It was 4th leg of Sportexcel. That’s when everything went wrong! Suddenly, she felt a build-up rage of anger against him. I, as not a part of them, seriously did not know the reason why. From my look, she was just absolutely furious with him. And, he’s helpless. She refuse to talk to him, dodges him, avoid his calls, etc… From the those things she did, i guess he did something to her that is very unforgivable. That’s not a biggest problem. No, no. The biggest problem is, he don’t even know what he did to make her feel this way. At least that’s what he told me. And then, he were this sad..

Then, he felt, “why should i be so sad? I should go straggle people to feel better!” :

And there he goes. Straggling people/aliens.

Then, he felt, it’s not a good idea letting his anger out on other people. So, he decide to sell foods. To get his mind off her :

Unfortunately, it selling coconut jellies aren’t a good plan. So, he sold MENTOS :

Ya, still, he doesn’t feel any better. But, as time passed, he feels better, by a tiny tiny tiny bit though. But, while he’s struggling to get over it, the ’she’ isn’t doing very well either. She is also quite sad. Without him.

Look at her! Dare not looks up as she walks.

So, now, it’s been 4 months they did not talk. That’s very very long! He must be feeling hell inside. Then, he came up with various plans. Which involves his friends. One of the recent plans were, in sarcastic words, : Pushing her in a corner and kinda force her to talk to him. So, now the real plan in action. SAP league(squash tournament), i were to play her in the quater-finals. He asked me to lie to her saying if she plays me, and lost with less than 5 points, then, she’ll have serious punishment. Then, thinking of his suffrage, i decided to help him out. So i told her that. And, she were scared, and asked me to please give her some points. His plan were working! And he said if she asked that question, tell her, “if you want some points from me, then you’ll have to talk to yassin first” So, i did told her that. She said okay. But then, until the very last minute, she ignored him. She’d rather sacrifice herself to do punishments than talking to him. Aww. That’s bad, that’s real bad. And, that’s another plan to add into ‘the fail list’. Er, Fyi,’the fail list’, is overloading!

Then. there’s another time, when he came back from World Juniors at Switzerland. He bought chocolates for her. He gave it to her. But she don’t want to accept it. He doesn’t care, He put the chocolate in her bag, behind her back Ya, it’s damn funny. Then, when she got home, she found that, and heard she threw away the chocolate. Made him heart-broken. Meanwhile, while she still knows he still wants her, she then, dates other boys. Ya, boyS. Made him feel worse. Gosh, i really wouldn’t want to be him.

And there’s lots and lots more plan he created, with every intention to get her talking to him again. But his intentions are always ignored by god/allah. Oh well. Sad case. But, it’s not like Einstein would get it right on the first try right? He must have failed thousands and thousands of times before getting it right. Hopefully it’s the same case for this? 

Anyway, what’s your opinion? What do you think he should do? Comment on this post

Free Text Books for Students in Malaysia

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

So, today at school. Us, form four, received our books for next year. We haven’t even finished form four and yet they wanna give us form five books. Lame enough? These are free books by the government. Starting from this year, all text books are free for us. We don’t have to buy text books anymore! It really cuts cost. If someone were to buy it, it’ll usually cost approximately, RM 100 plus. Near to RM200.

Before last year, every students were to buy their own books. Well, there are a little portion of text books supplied by the government. It is for those poor students who can’t afford to buy text books. But now, it’s free for all. Although there are some disadvantages using loaned books. You can’t draw/make notes on the text books. But of course the advantage of this is, IT’S FREE!

Back to school today. So, our class received those text books today and of course, don’t expect it to be ALL new! In our class, only Zhang Qun got new (I mean, real NEW!) text books. While, i got a book which is one year, but the condition of the book is top-notch

So, my friend, Louis, got a set of text books in a terrible condition. He then came up with various plan to exchange his set with other peoples. He actually successfully exchange a few sets of books. But then, the person with the ‘exchanged’ books realized it. And then, change back with louis. Haha, It’s damn funny i tell you. Especially when people demand their books back from him. So, the last bell rang, he still have yet to find another good copy. Then, he get to do his “desperate” plan, which is steal-and-run. Haha, he’s clever! He asked nicholas to steal the books while louis helped nicholas take his books. Then, nicholas DID manage to steal a set and then they run. Nicholas got the NEW set (Zhang Qun) one. Haha, the plan almost secceeded. But then, Zhang Qun realized it and caught them when they were almost out of the school. Haha, and that time, the ’stolen’ books is on nicholas’s hand. Haha, i guess Zhang Qun was furious with him.

Then after that i don’t know already cause i went home. Gosh. Such a funny day today is! Oh well, back to studying. Exams are next week and i don’t think i’ll be blogging often. Sorry. But, exams are more important right?
