Hey! Frustration is taking over me. I've been meeting a lot of people lately, lots of 'wrong' people who came at the wrong time. Where have the 'right' people gone to?? Its like you can actually swallow a raw egg when you're in a healthy state, but you just couldn't when you're sick. So where are the medicines gone to??=(

"Like my memories come to past, 19 years had gone so fast..."

Hey! This is Sunday, but unlike any other Sunday, this is the LAST Sunday of the year 2010! Well, i had a busy yet wonderful time during the Christmas and holiday period thanks to my dear classmates and friends from church, without you guys, i would be miserable!! I'm also blessed... with free lunch and dinner for almost the whole week! Imagine, free pizzas and Kentucky Fried Chickens! Thank you Lord! Time flies real fast doesn't it? We're just a year away to reach the 20th year of our lives! I'm leaving home next year for further education! My cool funky maths teacher is getting married tomorrow! My young lovely physics teacher is also getting married next year! Hahaha! All i'm saying is, time flies real fast, and now, I'll just have to wait till September before my holiday ends... =D

"...wake me up, when September ends"

21th December 2010

Hey! Christmas is just a mere 4 days away, not that i have something to look forward to except for the Christmas celebration in church. Gone are the days where you get excited because Christmas is coming, where presents can once cheer our childish heart. After Christmas marks the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011, and i'm considering some decisions which could change my bored-bounded holiday into something more, "interesting".

1. To work or not to work?
I'm considering a job in my own church's multimedia department, known as C-design as their assistant. Hmmm...

2. To take piano lessons or not?
No doubt i have a very strong interest in piano, and in fact i have learnt organ for 4 years, but the time left for me to upgrade myself is very limited, maximum 9 months, is it a wise thing to do??>.< 3. Travel somewhere?
Most likely not happening, but 9 months is a very long time, anything might happen.. XD

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

19th December 2010

Hey! Another day had passed. But i felt satisfied, at least that day didn't pass in vain. Well, the depressing period of mine had kinda pass away too^^ Will be looking forward the next day, even though nothing extraordinary is gonna happen where i can expect more of the same old badminton routine and PES with friends=.=. Until today, i actually didn't know the exact day of Christmas this year until i checked the dates via internet. 25th of December, perhaps i should buy some lil' gifts for some people, the spirit of Christmas! Spread the love of Christ! Haha..

18th December 2010

Hey! Well, what can i say more, a friend told me, if its God's Will, it will happen. Sadly a human's heart is as stubborn as a donkey, haha, not being able to let go so. Another friend of mine also told me, there are lots of fishes in the sea. You've got a point my friend, but like I said, a humans heart is stubborn, like a donkey. Anyways, gonna kick-start my long period of holidays by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, will try to jog at least 3 to 4 times a week in the morning, will have some badminton, and gain weight!! But the hell, I heard that i'm gonna have holidays till next September!! Thats like around 10 months from now. Well, another chapter of my life unfolds. Good Luck to me... >.<

Less than three

Girl: "I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight"

Man:
Though you have said to me,
that you are the lonely √3

Dont let this realization give you fright,
for i can help you with your plight

I cannot change that which you are
(no more than i could catch a shooting star)
but heres what i can do for thee:
show you a hidden fact of √3

Although you say "it's simply 1.7231"
all will make sense when I am done

there IS a fact you cannot see
but this fact cannot elude me

for √3 has a simpler form
which is not much different from the norm

Its short and sweet
and quite unique
and is the answer i hope you seek.

That which you did not see
is that your number technically
equals that of less-than-three
<3
Which you should now know to be
that which i think of when i see thee.

The Square Root of Three

Ignore my weird interest in such form of literature, it will not last long. Trust me. -.-

The Square Root of Three

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

The Good-Morrow

"If our two loves be one, or thou and I

Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die."

Above is part of the poem which i favoured a lot in the movie Tristan and Isolde where Tristan eventually died in the end after enduring a forbidden love with Isolde. :'(

Heres the full poem.

I WONDER by my troth, what thou and I
Did, till we loved ? were we not wean'd till then ?
But suck'd on country pleasures, childishly ?
Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers' den ?
'Twas so ; but this, all pleasures fancies be ;
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.

And now good-morrow to our waking souls,
Which watch not one another out of fear ;
For love all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone ;
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown ;
Let us possess one world ; each hath one, and is one.

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest ;
Where can we find two better hemispheres
Without sharp north, without declining west ?
Whatever dies, was not mix'd equally ;
If our two loves be one, or thou and I
Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die.

Bliss

Never have i felt such sadness and disappointment from waking up from a sleep. It was a dream which i would like to remain in forever!(How i wish inception was real) The feeling was real! Once i woke up, i knew this was one dream which i would like to remember, and so came this blog early in the morning to avoid myself forgetting about the dream.

Like the movie Inception, i didn't know where or how it started, but here goes. On my birthday, my friends came to my house and there was this certain special friend of mine which i admired ever since and we all had fun. Suddenly, we were real close and though we didn't say much, our actions do the talking for us and from then, we are in a relationship! In a relationship! And both of us continue to have fun in my house. Wow, my heart beats strongly both in dream and reality. There was this suffocating feeling which was bothering me, a strong tension. Next, like the move Inception, i didn't know how it started again, but i was certain it was after my birthday. Both of us went out after school to shopping malls and random places, out of the blue, my mom appeared! And how desperate i was to hide away from her so that this relationship can be hidden! No worries though, we had fun hiding, though eventually my mom found out about this, and the scene goes on and on. Still,in the midst of this perfect bliss, my heart beats fast, the air seems too little to breath, felt like suffocating, perhaps i was unable to believe the attachment and close bond we shared closely, wasn't able to contain everything thats happening at that time. Heart beats faster, my breath seems louder.

And eventually, i was woken up by a soft yet obvious voice which echoed from my dream. My loud breath.

I love Music

I love music. I just love music. Music is where i express my emotion, things that cannot be said. Here's how i first met music. I started out as a young, shy, quiet lil' boy, A.K.A the cool lil' boy called by my uncle and aunties. I didn't know how to express myself at that lil' age!! keeping everything to myself and not telling others except mom. My mouth just wouldn't open! I just stood still! Like a tree! Anyway, thats just an intro on what i was like when i was young. I started gettin' into music frenzy when i was in primary 6? or perhaps form 1. I don't know since when, but my voice started to turn deep, so indirectly, i suck in singing. Therefore i went for a keyboard base instrument instead. I went for organ lessons which i later regretfully quit and now trying to claw back towards having a major in the keyboard base instrument. H mm... If i had learnt piano since kindergarden, i might be working in an musical entertainment industry, become famous! and get everything i ever wanted! Haha... Nevermind. I'll just continue to practice on my Electone (electric organ) or keyboard regardless of the outcome. I just love music. Hopefully one day i can at least turn out to be a decent pianist/keyboardist.

A lil' something...

A lil' something of how i feel...

Frustrated

-Helping a group of somebody to apologize about somethin' which you weren't involve with but just because of the fact that you were with that particular group! Worst part, everyone thinks you're responsible for it!

-Verbally offended by a bunch of narrow-minded, low self-esteem people. They ain't better than me at all.

-Hearing lil' problems from people about how they feel. Or even extreme, yelling towards everyone about your lil' unsatisfaction or disagreement. You think your problems are intolerable? I think you push my tolerance down to hell. oh my dear princes and princesses, how i wish that i could open your eyes and show you how big your egos are.

-Frustated! Feeling like a down-syndrome kid who smiles at anyone despite being offended, or maybe like a mute person who can't voice out his dissent.

Sad

-Being misunderstood by people

-Unable to open my big yet tight sealed mouth when it matters the most.

-Hard work or effort doesn't payoff.

Above are just my thoughts, feelings and frustration. , I meant no offense or hold any grudge or anger towards any individual and what i wrote above is solely meant for voicing out my frustrations. What was done was done. Any mistakes? Lets learn from it.

May Madness

Above is the success we had in organizing the farewell for our seniors. Hope there will be a repeat of success in the coming events.

A mixed feeling of disappointment and satisfaction, effects of my first exam of the year i guess. However, spring has come! Its May! The month where our performance in PERTENA club will mostly depend on. We'll be having a few/three major events on this month, namely the orientation camp for the incoming lower 6, SEMEGAH-kk trip programme, and the Teacher's Day celebration. All in a month! Of course we've prepared earlier and here's how it began...

The earliest event among the three, the orientation camp with the confident Koh Mui Kiak appointed as the head of this event. Me? I'm in charge of games in the camp, i was choosen probably because of my experience in organizing games in the last event. One thing that made this camp special is on the second day of this camp, we'll be going to Taman Bukit Tawau for jungle trekking and other activities.

SEMEGAH-kk trip, the most anticipated event, would be directly a week after the camp. Unfortunately, not all of the form 6 are chosen to follow this programme due to the limited amount of space available. Only 20 seats for a total of around 50+ form 6 students! So, the show begins. The range of students eligible to follow this programme is slowly reduced to 40, 30 then 20 students based on the students disciplinary record and other factors. In the end, there left around 20+ students eligible to follow this programme with 10 places left for grab! and with the other 10 places automatically taken by 10 other students who was considered active (I was one of them!), how will the 20 students be chosen to join this event? In the end, we settle for a lucky draw, with tensions rising and hearts pumping. The 10 students among the 20 were picked, happiness as well as disappointment filled the air, as well as some surprising decisions made. Finally! We're all set to go!

As for Teacher's day celebration? Nothing much to say again. Leading the event will be Aaron Raj and Caleb, and i'm still stuck with games AGAIN! Anyway, busy, busy, busy month, but one things for sure, no books will be left unturned, no exercise will be left to dust and no studies will be neglected!!

Time and Tide Wait For No Man

Time and tide wait for no man. It was a month ago, before my mid-year exam. Since then, i had learnt my lesson from last years exam. Do not procrastinate! Last year was a total disaster, studying in the nick of time, trying to cover every single chapter (around 10 chapters each for chemistry and physics and a mere 6 chapters for Additional maths) which i expect to give up some. And the results? As expected, 'awesome', But luckily, I'm not the only one hit with the procrastinate syndrome, even my classmates as well! So, overall i got 7th in my class out off 11th, 4th from the last. On the brighter side, Hooray! Top ten! Free Cinema tickets! From that moment, a lesson is learnt, do not procrastinate!

Time and tide wait for no man.It was the year 2010 and i'm determined not to repeat the same mistake again. I spend time studying even though its far from exam or test. I'm determine to break my own score as well as others! I have a dream, of becoming first among the eleven! Or at least first among the physics student! Yet not all is sweetness and light. Days turn into months. Procrastination is the thief of time. Indeed, procrastination is one hell of a thief, stealing time from me after few months of perseverance against any time-wastage activities. I let my guard down,and so the first test of the year came. The results? Not as bad as the previous one! An improvement in both physics and chemistry! But greedy me still dreams of being the best. I can do better if it wasn't for that procrastinate syndrome . Grrr!!

Time and tide wait for no man. It is April 21st, Wednesday. 2 days before the official MUET exam and 4 days before mid-year exam covering around 20 chapters for chemistry and physics each, and not to mention add-math! Oh my goodness!! Procrastination is the thief of time, and after some hard work throughout these few months, it still managed to steal part of my time . I admit wasting much time on unnecessary stuff and lacking on studies and revision. Lets just see how my week goes, and I'll just keep my fingers cross so that everything turns out the way i wanted it to be. And till then, I'll still be mumbling those words, "Time and tide wait for no man", hopefully this idiom can be a warning signal for those who is studying, helping you to defeat "procrastination" and save time!

Good Luck and Wish Me Luck Too! =D

Me and MUET

Its been 18 years and 4 months, and i'm finally doing my first blog. And in this very blog, i present to you the way of Joelism, which is basically what comes out from my mind. Why Joe? Its my name. Well, I'll just be posting up stuffs that randomly pops out from my mind and issues that might just twist you mind.

Since this is my first post, I'll be posting something that's happening lately, something that strikes fear into the heart of every fellow form 6 students, at least for now. Eventhough the almighty STPM may be, what every form 6 students fear most but the MUET examination shouldn't be left out as well, especially when its just A WEEK away! *Yawn*, easy paper, piece of cake, easy as ABC and God might just punish you for what you've said! There are a few definitions of MUET by Joelism. A suicide mission if it is taken by bold students unequipped with bomb-a-stic words and with a weak sense of language, or at least in English. Even for the well-equipped and English-blooded students, a good result is not guaranteed and depending on the difficulty and rarity of the question, they might stumble badly. But no worries, each of you form 6 nerds have 2 chances to get your desired result in MUET, you can take both mid-year and end of year session and choose the best result out of the two sessions. So below are some rules, or at least a word of advice from Joelism.

Do's and Don't in MUET

• Speak out loud! Confidence is what the examiner want during speaking (and less error of course). However, if your English sucks like a 5-year old kid, you might wanna keep it low.
• Write what you hear. Even if you don't know how to spell what you heard, just write it the way you think is right.
• Writing, just stick to loads of article related to current issues and events. And in no time, you can write until your pen's on fire!

Thats it for today, everything's fine, until Man Utd defeat City just now, darn it! See ya next time y'all followers of Joelism.
