  • Away to PLKN (Day 14): SPM 09 Result Day

    Away to PLKN (Day 14): SPM 09 Result Day

    Check out my SPM 09 Result Day. It happened on 11 March 2010 and it was a big day for me in my life. Although to some people, SPM is not very important because they think University and Pre-U are more important.

    To me, they are all importants. SPM is a part of high school, if you score nicely, you will feel more happy. It’s not that if you don’t score nicely, your life is over, there’s still college, university for you to go on.

    I told myself to try my best in it. I wanted to finish my high school happily and also happy after it. Even I don’t get straight As, I still go to college though, only that I get extra money for study, perhaps from the scholarships and grants. =)

    Back to the day, my plan went all wrong for that morning. Results were said to be retrieve at 10am, I planned to wake up early, go to school to eat Maggi Mee and breakfast, then spend time taking photos, but I woke up late at 9, prepared everything and go at 945am, and arrived in school at 10am.

    The traffic went so smooth, it’s all green light all the way from my house to school. Just in time! =D But I couldn’t go to eat breakfast already, I was so nervous that day, with Chien Chern together walked to the classes, very excited and nervous, yet feeling hungry and hot.

    We were late, everyone was there already, but didn’t hear any screaming yet. I saw many Form 5 students sticking their head on the windows to join the fun. Indeed it’s a very happening day. I went to look for my classmate and start waiting.

    Every started feeling uncomfortable and got even more excited because of the hot weather and the tick tock of time. It’s 1030am already and the result still haven’t arrived. Everyone was just keep talking and talking and talking. I couldn’t expect how my result will be, I didn’t have the confident, but I hoped it would be good. Something nice.

    IMG_7144 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_7146 by nicholaschan.

    I’ve received text from friends of other school who had already received their result already, but not us. Damn slow. At around 1045am, an army of prefects walking towards our block with Mr Lye leading the way. It’s here finally!

    IMG_7149 by nicholaschan.

    He gave some instruction to those of where to take the result then we ran to. Ours were on the first floor, need to climb up the stairs again.

    IMG_7152 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_7158 by nicholaschan.

    I was not the first to take. I see people took it and scream happily. I got even more nervous, I didn’t want to be the first to take, and also didn’t want to be the last. Wait, wait, wait and I took. “WOAH”, sound of weirdness. I was not very thrill, and also not very sad, but got the feeling of unsatisfied. I would say, the result sucks to me. I’ve got C for Chinese, sucks, B+ for Moral Ed, sucks, A- for Biology, sucks. Why Chinese can like that one?!

    Nice to see the Form 5 Leo Club friends were there to check us out. Very good.

    IMG_7172 by nicholaschan.

    But from my result, I still got a chance to take a photo with everyone who got 8As and above and be on the paper. That’s fun. I don’t like myself of why always be the one that just got the lowest mark for photo taking, Form 3 that time also same, 7As and 8As can take photos and I’ve got 7As. Lousy me man.

    Then saw my friend, Jia En, Form 3 classmate, Form 4 Managing Director of YE was interview by the media. He has got 13A+. Really pro and clever.

    IMG_7206 by nicholaschan.
    See he so happy!

    After hanging around the result taking place, I moved to the canteen to eat my breakfast. I didn’t really enjoy my food, maybe is because of the excitement and nervousness, the hungry feel was gone. Still, I filled my stomach with something then talk talk talk, talk about how suck my result is. Boo.

    Away to PLKN (Day 11): My Workstation, Last Time to Current

    Talking back about PLKN, why was I chosen? I got no idea. There’s 400-500k youth of my age and only 180k people got chosen, and I am one of the lucky one. Really very lucky. So, you guys are so not lucky.

    Here’s some cool stuff, I found out my workstation looked like this back in 2006 when I was Form 2. I only have a 15″ LCD and it’s so damn cool, there’s a very noisy fan laptop too.

    2006, I was not so blogger back then, but already an Internet addict.

    2007, the screen become bigger. I was Form 3. It’s a 22″ Dell LCD. From then on, I started using Dell’s already.

    February Setup by nicholaschan.
    2008, started using dual-screen setup.a 22 inch and a 17 inch. Love it very much.

    IMG_3276 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_7072
    2009, changed again. Changed from 22 inch to 24 inch. Still loving dual-screen, once dual-screen, I never get back, it looked cool and I can do so much thing from it.

    Not bad right?

    Away to PLKN (Day 9): Penang Tiger CNY Miao Hui Until At Night

    Chinese New Year Penang Celebration Miao Hui 庙会 post is back again. This time I’ll show about what happened at night. I’ll let the photos speak more because I am in NS and I lazy to write more. So sorry people.

    Some people stay there until 11am because there’s fireworks, I went home at around 1030pm already because I was too tired. I was there from 4pm till 10pm, it’s quite long for me, moreover I’ve been there before, so I didn’t want to stay until everything ended.

    IMG_5928 by nicholaschan.

    My aim was to visit every corner of the Miao Hui and finally we did, only that we did not see the fireworks.  At night was prettier because there’s the lantern and light. Ideal for photoshooting.

    I met a Singaporean friend online, his name is Paul and I want to thank him for getting me souvenirs from his China and Hong Kong trip. One day while coming back home, I am so surprised to see there’s a parcel on my doorstep and I there’s my name written on it. So excited because the souvenirs has finally arrived. =D

    IMG_7281 by nicholaschan.

    I saw Coke logo. Yes, I am a Coca-Cola cans fans and have been collecting the cans for few years already and is still collecting! He bought me Coke plastic cups which are pretty cool. Now, it’ll be something new for my Coke collection.

    IMG_7283 by nicholaschan.

    There’s also casing for Google Nexus One. So nice to see there’s accessories for the phone already. He didn’t know what color I like so bought all five, but still, I like the transparent white the most. =) Pretty!

    By the way, HAPPY APRIL FOOL. Nothing to fool you. LOL

    Yay, I don’t know should I yay or not. I am now at the National Service Camp in Balik Pulau, somewhere at the back of Penang Island, approximately 40km away from my home. Hope I am having fun at there and don’t forget my blog here!

    I have taken 3 roll of films last year and I am only sharing the lomography now because I am in NS! Hehe, the above was taken on a Holga 120 with a Kodak 120mm film. Weird right? Because I forgot to roll over the frame. It overlapped.

    NS has got technology-related entertainment!

  • Away to PLKN (Day 2): Borrowed PLKN 2010 First Batch DVD from Jocelyn

    Away to PLKN (Day 2): Borrowed PLKN 2010 First Batch DVD from Jocelyn

    First time being away from home for so long and some more it’s a camp. I regretted why high school I didn’t join scouts or related-cadet which has camping, so I would be well-prepared for now. You guys in high school should join more camp, it’s fun.

    I Google-ed over the Internet about National Service (PLKN), camping and many related stuff. Luckily, they film out the program for Kumpulan 1 Siri 7 2010 of Kem PLKN White Resort, which is the camp that I am at. Kumpulan 1 means first batch, I am batch 2, so when I am out, there’s DVD for us too, but need to pay money to buy it.

    IMG_7973 by nicholaschan.

    One set of DVDs consist of 3 discs and it’s RM30. They have good mind of making money. Gonna thank Jocelyn from first batch for lending me the disc.

    IMG_7969 by nicholaschan
    Doing homework.

    It’s good to see what they do and how’s life in the camp. And I’ve asked a lot of information from my friends who had just came back from the camp too. I am ready, not-ready also must ready because I am there already! Yo!

  • Chin Lai’s Farewell Gathering at Town Steamboat House

    Chin Lai’s Farewell Gathering at Town Steamboat House

    Chin Lai called up for a steamboat dinner as a last gathering and farewell because he was going to National Service. I don’t know why always go that Town Steamboat House, my many gatherings also were held at there. Last November and December, I went there for like 3-4 times.

    IMG_8006 by nicholaschan.

    Anyway, since I long time few months didn’t go already, moreover I go to NS too, same place was no big deal. It’s a all-boys and one girl gathering, Chin Lai, Tee Jin, Arron, Chien Chern, Yan Duan, Chen Yuen and Yiphing, but I forgot to take Yiphing’s photo, she went back early. OMG.

    As the Chinese said, 有说有笑 (you3 shuo1 you3 xiao4), means there’s laughter and chattering. That’s what we did, with additional of photo taking by me and eat. =D

    Since it’s weekday night, there’s not many people at the restaurant, it’s not very hot. Else on weekend, where there’s many people, it’s very very hot, and sweating all along while grilling and steamboating. This place is fun because it’s eat all you can, price is RM19.90. Not bad.

    Although not sweaty, but when going home, the body sure smells oily and BBQ. Woo.

    IMG_7986 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_7980 by nicholaschan.

    See you guys back in June! I will be back.

It’s the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, every year will go in take photos and come out again. This is the 3rd year already, I didn’t find it boring yet because there’s friend with me together.

    Saw something special that’s eyes cleaning. I don’t know how it works, the person clean your eye lids I assume and he said that you will see more clearly after the cleaning. Real or not I don’t really know but it’s my first time knowing that there’s such thing. Cool.

    Well at the back lane going out of Khoo Kongsi, it’s the same lane again. Photographers stood there and point their camera up again. I didn’t want to do that already, because I’ve did it before. Haha. Shooting up got so interesting meh?
