Chung Ling High School 2009 Graduation Ceremony

Written by Nicholas Chan on February 9, 2010 – 12:09 am -

So on last time, I showed you guys many photos of me and my friends taken before the Graduation Ceremony which happened like 3 months ago in 2009. I was just too busy with my stuff and had forgotten to share it up with you guys.

In this post, I’m gonna talk about what happened in the hall during the Graduation Day of 2009 of Chung Ling High School. We got into the school hall at about 9am, it’s an hour before the official ceremony started while we had one hour free time, sitting down, talking and doing nothing. It’s pretty bored waiting for it to get started and also the arrival of VIPs.

It’s teachers and us who waited together for everything to get started. Before the day, many people told me that it will be bored and this and that. I also thought so.

There’s no show or any form of entertainment during the ceremony, it’s speeches by VIPs and principals all the time. Our Graduation Ceremony is a combination of Form 5s and Upper Sixth Form of my Chung Ling High School and Year 6 of Chung Ling (Private) High School. One thing was that we were suppose to have the ceremony a week before, but changed last minute because Chung Ling Butterworth High School had their ceremony on that day.

Not fun because I wanted this to come fast and go fast so I can stop schooling and get more time for SPM study. Anyhow, I don’t care now, it’s so so so much over.

There’s also recognition, awards and prize giving to student who has got an outstanding performance in various fields and subject and studies. It’s so nice to see they go up to the stage to receive the award, with the company of their parents. So proud. If I knew about this when I was Form 1, I would already had fight for it. Haha. I suck.

Wishes from teachers. Sweet!

Many speeches and a lot of cheer and shouts for the friends who went up the stage for recognition and awards receiving. It wasn’t that boring after all, interest to know about the school report and it’s “Wow, my school is so good one.”

After the official ceremony, VIPs got out of the hall, the Year 6 student of Chung Ling Private High School went back to their school and it left us again, the all-boys Form 5 and the mix of Sixth Forms student.

A little self-high show were held. There’s rock band, singing Linkin Park’s What I’ve Done.

There’s Ballet Dancing and there’s very fierce (kidding)  Mr Lye, a school teacher went on stage to sing a song. Everyone was like “AHHHHHHH”, so high. Screaming here and there because he’s Mr Lye. It’s also my first time seeing boy do ballet dancing, and he was from my class! Shi Hun is his name. Wow, surprised.

He is Mr Lye, very good.

After that, off the hall, and finished! But before going home, I went to VIP’s toilet to take photo. XD There’s a toilet in school which is specially made for VIP, look cool, but no AC inside. After that, I still went to take many many photos with teachers and some friends, stay tune. I’ll stop here. =D

Chung Ling Dragon Boat Tragedy Memorial

Written by Nicholas Chan on January 30, 2010 – 12:54 pm -

It has been two week since the Chung Ling Dragon Boat Tragedy passed. My school lost a teacher, and 5 student and I lost a friend. I know that we have to move on from now, although the thing is still in my and our head, still we have to move on, life goes on from now. Anyhow, it’s still a sad thing.

Yesterday, the school had a memorial event in the school hall. I wanted to go, but I was stuck in a traffic jam because of Thaipusam festival. When I arrived in school, the whole school was quiet, and it was almost the end of the memorial.

It was playing a video clips of the lates, and it’s a very emo moment, tears dropped down once again. Still feeling and thinking, WHY?

Some says that they shouldn’t have this memorial event because it was getting forgotten in the mind and almost move on with life, but this thing has caused emotional breakdown once again.

There’s student, families, teachers, alumni, and people from the press.

Everyone in the hall paid a last respect before dismissing. We will always miss you. >.<

Chung Ling High School 2009 Graduation Day, Before Official Ceremony

Written by Nicholas Chan on January 27, 2010 – 11:56 am -

This post was supposed to be updated during the school holiday last year in December, I was so busy and forgetful, so before I’ve forgotten, I gonna write it up and share with you guys. As you know, I am no longer in high school right now, I’ve graduated from my lovely Chung Ling High School and doing nothing right now, waiting for SPM result and will be going to college soon.

Sad? Yeah, but still life has to move on. High school was fun and have to say that it’s the most fun schooling part in life, better than primary school or kindergarten, I am not sure about college or university but for sure, I’ll still make fun and enjoy every part of it. =) So guys and girls out there who are still in high school, please enjoy every moment and study hard for it, it’s short, it’s the only time where you need not to worry about other stuff, people make decision for you, you just need to study and play. That’s the two thing.

In November 2009, the school have a graduation ceremony for the Form 5s (me), Upper Sixth Form and the Year Six students of Chung Ling (Independent). This day was an exciting day to me, I thought I will be sad, but all my mind were fill with “Let’s take photos, let’s take photos and see you”. It’s not really the last day for us to meet because the days after, we had a week of school and 9 days of SPM.

If I were to sad, it will be already few weeks before, thinking of high school was going to end soon. Anyway, that day was fun. For the first time, I woke up pretty early and meet up a few friends, Shaun, Jin Sheng, Hock Sheng, Tee Jin, Shi Jie, Young Hean, Yong Chieh at Greenlane McDonald’s at around 6am for a breakfast before going to school. It’s just for fun, not really for eat. I don’t have appetite when I wake up early in the morning.

Then off to school. See a lot of cars and I have to park my car far far away at the back of the school. The front car park were closed for VIPs and teachers’ cars have to move to the back. All students have their tie on, good hair styles and teachers were in good look too, make ups and nicely dress. Once in my lifetime, yearly in teachers’ lifetime.

Playing with my camcorder.

The official ceremony starts at around 9am, I reached school at around 7am and the atmosphere was noisy. Everyone was just talking and busy taking photos so as the post goes on, you will see many photos of handsomes, not saying me. And friends, sorry if I missed out your photos because I took too many photos that day and won’t be posting it out. Though, you still can check out your photos at my Flickr set.

Back to Chung Ling High School 2010

Written by Nicholas Chan on January 16, 2010 – 12:36 am -

On the first day of school, everyone went back to school, I have graduated from high school and I have got no school to go right now. But on that day, I also went back to school too! I actually went to collect my graduation certificates and my result slips, then in the mean time, had some canteen food and say hi to some junior of mine.

Prefects love to spot check pockets because want to check for hidden takeaway food. Boo.

The days at school were so fun. You can check out all about my past high school life in this blog. Who says schooling sucks, I kinda like it and now I miss it quite a lot. High school to me is like a fun playground, everyday go to school talk and play with everyone, include teachers. Learning is just only a very little part of it, playing and enjoying school and friends are the best part. That’s why I love it so much.

Only sad thing is have to wake up early in the morning and study very very very very hard like a rock for exams. The process of exam does not sucks but the time before exam sucks a lot.

Went back to school with the same gang. They went there for canteen food actually.

Prefect, still that unfriendly face. Why?

No matter how much I miss the school, I still have to say bye bye because life move on now. I can still go back occasionally for canteen food and to say hi. But I guess this won’t last long because I don’t really know much young junior at there. People keeps getting older.

We also went to the counseling room to chit chat with the teachers. They seemed to be free and very happy to talk with us. I wanted to ask about study but too many people already and so we had to make appointment.

Went back home before school dismiss to prevent traffic jam. Yeah.

Last Day of SPM, Day 9

Written by Nicholas Chan on December 22, 2009 – 1:15 am -

Last day of SPM was a crazy day. My mind was so relax on the morning, the night before was nervous but as soon as I stepped into school, everything goes off. It’s just last minute, I know means know, I don’t know means don’t know. Everything goes along with the feel of the Chinese paper. To be honest, my Chinese has never been v very good, but I still trying to be my best.

There’s 2 paper for Chinese paper, one is knowledge, reading and comprehension based and another is writing part. I like the writing part, I can just express everything according the feeling, with a little bit of Chinese novel style because I have been reading a lot Taiwanese novel lately.

The paper was really hard (for me), I don’t have confident of getting an A but I really hope if I can get one, it will be like, un-describe-able excited. Don’t wanna talk about the result, we’ll see in March. If it’s good, for sure I’ll tell you guys, if it’s bad, I’ll… see first. =D

I had my special blogger friend to handle my camera on that day and he’s Gen Yong. He came to school to help to rearrange and clean up the mess after the exam because he’s in the school service group. I passed my camera to him and let him shoot around during the exam, it’s better than laying inside my bag pack right?

On the last ten second, the exam classrooms were not quiet, everyone was counting down for the real END of SPM examination. It was memorable and fun. We ended everything in the middle of the day at 12.45pm. Gonna remember the time, it’s a very historical time for me.

A very relaxing ending, I did not rush home. Took the time very slowly and drove to Simon’s place for lunch and we went to karaoke in the afternoon! The usual stuff we always do after exam. I guess I can’t do it next time already, because everyone is going to different colleges and school. So sad, a little bit.

One more thing again, Chinese paper 1 sucks.

SPM Day 8

Written by Nicholas Chan on December 22, 2009 – 12:42 am -

I have been gone for like a long long time. The days after SPM are busy, tired and very messy. All the things that I have done were so not organized, it’s like happened or being called so suddenly which made me have so little time in front of the computer and with the social media. I need to plan what to do on the coming days, organized it and timetabled it, else I can hardly make things done.

So here I am, back to blogging and in this post, I want to write about the eighth day of my SPM examination.

This day was actually the last day for some of the students who didn’t take Chinese paper. For me, it’s ALMOST the last day, but still I had one more paper to go and that was Chinese paper. Yeah, real Chinese sits for Chinese paper. =D I pretty suck in Chinese writing, but I still like it a lot, it’s fun!

So what we were sitting for on the 8th day was Chemistry paper. For me, I didn’t know all, there’s till few question that I totally don’t know, and so, hopefully the result will be a nice one in March, expected result day is somewhere in March, as usual like past years.

During the lunch break, we went to Air Itam for lunch again. Want to thank Jin Sheng for the ride. =) The feeling during the lunch break was always nervous because the paper 3 in the afternoon is like, I don’t know want how to say, difficult, but not really, easy, but can’t be sure, it’s all depends on how well your writing is, how creative you are. Paper 3 is an experiment planning and report writing paper.

Yao Jing.

Chee Pherng.

Zuan Fu.

Shaun.

Xiang Foong.

Yan Duan.

Peng Sheng.

Shi Jie.

Jing Xiang and Juan.

After lunch, we went back to school. I had my camera with me, I brought my camera on every days of the SPM, just want to shoot something to keep it as memory. Nice one, I like it. We had like 30 minutes time before the paper started, I went to shoot around and some of them were still reading for the last minute, I didn’t want to read already, the feel wasn’t there, how well or how much motivation also don’t want to read already.

Tee Jin.

Took photos of my place and Tee Jin’s place. I place was on the first row, just in front of the whiteboard, so I didn’t get to see any interesting things, except the white clean board.

p/s: I study in an all-boys school. =)
