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.

Little prefect dutying.

Sean and Min Zhi.

Hua Ken and Chin Tatt who were just back from NS. Wearing their uniform!

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.

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!

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.

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?!

Kelvin, Yong Seng, Yi Jun, Kooi Jin.

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

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.

Thank you Yi Jun for help me on the photo. Really good.

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.

See he so happy!

Arron got 9A+ and 1A. Pro. But he smile until like that.

Chin Lai.

Arron, Tee Jin and Alvin, wearing LOL shirts.

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.

My result.

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.

Garfield very cute.

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.

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

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?

Kek Lok Si During Chinese New Year #2

During the 15 days period of Chinese New Year, Penang most famous pagoda temple lighted up with lots of bulb and LED. It’s a good place to visit during Chinese New Year and a good spot of photography for amateur and pro. Well, I went there twice during CNY because the first time was not really in the mood, it’s just walkaround and simply shoot.

Then I decided to go again with Alvin for a serious shoot. I don’t want so many people to shoot together because shooting need to be relax, I feel stress when people is around, unless, they don’t mind waiting for me to wait for the shutter. Hehe.

It’s a nice place and super nice when the lights are on at night, but sadly, it’s only on during some Chinese occasion. Not on normal days though, this suck a bit. It was like day 13 of CNY, people has already got back to work but there’s still many people coming up there.

Luckily I was early, no traffic jam and found a nice parking spot. If we were to go up like at 8pm, then it’s bad already, it will be a long line on the winding road.

My purpose of going there was to shoot, sorry for didn’t really pray. =)

Since it’s early, we wait and wait and wait till 7.30pm like that, it’s lights on. Everything became different. Pagoda and surrounding changed from beautiful to more beautiful.

So there’s me and Alvin, two amateur, shooting here and there. He shoot his and I shoot mine. Met some nice pro photographer too who gave us some nice advice. Looking around, there’s like so many people have a DSLR nowadays. Last time, I was like the first who own a DSLR among my friends and now it’s not something special anymore, everyone can afford one, and everyone loves photography.

So many lights, so pretty!

We paid for the return trip of the lift this time. It’s RM4 for return and last time was RM2 for one way. Last time it was late, we only get to go up and not down. This time we were early, so it’s up and down. It’s even much nicer up there with the very huge giant Kuan Yin statue.

There’s like a little garden there too, this place is more crowded than below. It’s people everywhere! And with the nice windy surrounding, it doesn’t feel so warm up there. Temperature nowadays are so high in Penang! Mother Earth is dying?

Happy that I get to go as close as the Kuan Yin statue this time. Last tie was because that we were late and lights off, so nothing to see up there.

There’s like bowl surrounding the Kuan Yin statue and devotees and exchange RM11 into coins and put the coins into each bowl to wish for a good luck in everything. Interesting, all the money donated goes to the building fund of the Kuan Yin statue. This Kuan Yin statue has been in renovation and building for don’t know how many years already and till now, it’s still not done yet. No idea why. But something I know is that it’s almost done.

Super happening at there.

Sorry, it’s not for 56K. 512kbps broadband also is a problem for now I think. Hehe. Please wait slowly. Too many photos already.

Found a nice big wall at the back of the statue. Very cool, no idea what’s that wall means. It sure symbolize or have some kind of art message, but I don’t know. I just think it’s cool

Last photo before going home, it’s 1030pm that time. Yeah!

Sunrise at Queensbay

That day, a few days ago, I woke up very the early to fetch mom and dad to the airport. Then I was alone that time, no idea where to go, it’s so early and remembered that the tripod for my camera was in the car, so I went to Queensbay to take some photos and let the wind blow.

Maybe it rained a bit during midnight, it’s so chilly and windy that morning. Cold… and I like!

It’s very quiet early in the morning. The sun hasn’t got up yet and it’s only a little brightness from far. Forgotten that I was only in a short pants and t-shirt, waiting the sun come up to warm me up.

No people at Queensbay, only like 6-7 people, one people sweep the floor and some were like me letting the wind blow and got people go morning walk too!

Some more got boat pass by! By the way, the sea at Queensbay is so much nicer than Gurney Plaza, there’s no ugly muddy seaside. Gurney Drive is so geli (ugly) during low tide.

Got aeroplane also! Flights are always early. Check out my dust spot on my camera sensor, so cool.

Waited for like 45 minutes, the sun has got up in the end, it’s time to pack up and go home.

Try and Win Chance to LA to Watch American Idol!

Do you watch the Season 9 of American Idol? Frankly, I was not really into American Idol until now, I was too bored, no more Heroes, no more Prison Break, no more Fringe, no more American Got Talent, it’s a little bit bored now and I turned to American Idol. Interesting!

Last time, I watch only the final and hear it from people, so I knew about Adam Lambert, David Cook, David Archuleta, Kelly Clarkson, William Hung and so on. Now I am watching it from audition, still catching it up till the latest episode on some Chinese Internet TV. Very nice, I like.

Powerful singing and I like it when the judge “shoot” them. Hehe.

By the way, I accidentally found out about this American Idol’s contest while surfing some forum, it’s a contest which actually will gives me chance to LA to see American Idol! OMG.

The contest very simple, but I very lame because I don’t really know about the entertainment news. I only know Kathryn Bigelow won the Oscars lately. Haha, or Simon Cowell leaving American Idol after this season 9. I only know the basic basic one. ^^

So, I always ting tong tiang, do guessing on the answer for the question. Password to the question is pretty simple, it’s only to see how fast you can give the answer for the question, then stand chance to go LA. Nevermind, I will try everyweek until I really failed. Now still OK yet. Won’t give up because I want to go LA!

Lilly Scott is powerful! Don’t you think so?
