A Week Has Gone By

I don't know why but this week has been a great week for me. Haha. I've been busy these days and not even having time to online except for signing in to e-buddy through my phone. No time to blog and hop around in friendster. What Have I been doing? I don't know but i just feel this week has been a great week.

Monday was normal. So was tuesday and there comes wednesday. Yea, rhu got his driving license, so he drove to school that day and I annoyed him till I got him to fetch me home. And yes he did. Haha. Then we went for lunch somewhere in Ipoh Garden eating Chicken Rice and he sent me home. Ok nice riding in his AUTO SAGA and mine was a MANUAL 20 Years Old Saga. Haha.

Friday night was fun. I went for a friend's birthday party in MP. It was the first birthday party that I went throughout this 5 years of my life in secondary school. Normally I would reject invitations cause of either band practices or parental controls. Yea and so I went and enjoyed myself. Of course I had curfew hours. My curfew was initially 10pm but I ended up going home at 11pm. Time passed really fast that night. Fun time passes fast. That's all I can say. Haha. One of the reasons that my curfew was early was because I drove. If I didn't, I would have an extended curfew. Haha. Anyway, it was a great night of socializing with people from different schools. I only knew 4 out of 11 people there. I finally experience teenage social life. Haha. Great~!

Prefects AGM is tomorrow. This means I will be retiring from the prefectorial board tomorrow AND I will get an extended time of 30 minutes sleep everynight.

SPM trials will be coming in one month + and SPM will be coming in 3 months +. Time is limited for studies and I've gotta buck up. That's all I can Say. HAHA

N80 vs Nokia 3250

I woke up yesterday morning and my bro told me that a package has arrived for me. Well, I knew what's that but I did not expect it to come so fast. Good job Skynet. What came for me was a phone I bought from a guy in Lowyat.net. N80 Internet Edition with 3mp camera and wifi functions. So, it's a great phone but except one thing. The slider had problems. It was too loose. So I had to go to a shop in Ipoh Garden to fix it up which ended up changing the whole housing of the phone. But I wasn't dissapointed as I sold my Nokia 3250 at quite a high price and bought the N80 at a lower price so I had extra money for the new housing. Means, I did not actually profit anything. Haha. Can't wait for the phone to come back on monday in it's brand new look. What I have to do now is to back up everything from my nokia 3250 into the computer because these two phones use two types of memory cards. So I will have to back them up into the pc then download it back to the N80. Another is that, now I feel a little depressed on selling off my nokia 3250. It had been with me for 1 year ++ and I had feelings for it after using it for so long. But, a chinese saying sounds " How would the new one come if the old one doesn't go?" Hehe. So it's time to upgrade my phone. Take care N3250. Welcome N80. ^^

Went to the movies with my bro last friday to watch "HANCOCK". Great movie. It's the first time I hang out with my bro and it's nice to have moments like that. Grabbed some Big Apple donuts after the movie and got a couple that stats from 1st till 30th August, every purchase of 12 donuts will entitle me 6 extra donuts for free. Buy 12 free 6, buy 6 free 3. Great~!! Just what I needed.

What Friends Are For

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for
Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)
On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'

Open Day 2008

Yesterday was Open Day for this year, my last open day in my life. Haha. How was it? As usual, after getting the report card my mum will start asking me to work harder. Well, that's true, I will have to work harder now. From my results this time compared to last time, although it's still not good but from my own view I know that I've improved. 4 more months to go and I can relax for the next 6 months provided I don't go for NS.

Band life?? Nothing is up with band life as I'm partially retired from the band. More of taking a break for the SPM examinations. I still attend sectional practices but not formal practices. SO, will be back after SPM. Back To MMB~!

Woops~ I've got nothing much to blog this week. So let's enjoy the videos~!

No Happenings

This week has been a boring week for me. Nothing much happened except there was one on wednesday which I would keep it as a secret. Haha. Oh, something fun happened yesterday. After school my friends and I, 7 of us went to excelsior hotel for high tea buffet. We saved our stomach from recess time and lunch time for the buffet. We nearly had no seats because we did not had an earlier booking. Anyway, we were lucky enough to get 3 talbes for 7 of us. It's not a simple bufffet when there was Andrew there to provide us with fun and laughters with all his craps and jokes. Haha. Thanks Andrew~! It was a very nice buffet. Everyone agreed that is was cheap at the price of 18++ nett. The aim was to make the manager cry looking at the way we eat but ended up we dropped after several rounds. Hope to go again for the lunch or dinner next time. :)

My computer was ATTACKED by virus twice a day on thursday and it got me into a fuss to reformat it twice. AHH. So the second formatting I did very carefully to ensure no spywares, I installed the security system first. Haha. And now I am using a vista theme recommended by Andrew. Again, Thanks Andrew. It's nice~!

Will be going for prefect outing tonight. I still remember the first time I went for an outing was when I was in form 4. That's was the first outing held and this is the second last outing held. So, what's so fun bout this outing? Yea definitely there is. But I not too sure of how's it gonna run. So, I will update after I am back from the outing. Stay tuned.

A Dedication To All My Band Brothers

To all form 5’s here today, I would like to thank you all for being my good brothers in The Saints for the past 5 years. Life in secondary school wouldn’t be fun without joining the band and meeting you guys. Joining the band was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life and the thing that I won’t regret doing in secondary school no matter how much I need to sacrifice. With you guys, I share my everything, my happiness and my sadness, my joy and my pain. The tears we dropped, the laughers we had, it’s pure memories in our hearts now. Form 1 was the time we were juniors of the band and we are now going to leave the band. Closing my eyes and thinking back the times when I was a little junior till who I am now, I can sense how fast time flies.

The Michaelian Military Band is the place where I’ve brought up as what I am now. Without the band, my life would completely be a different story. Today is our last day in the band and my heart feels really heavy just to retire from the band. The band has left so much memories in me that I couldn’t put down.

Remember the times when we come to school for night practices? Hanging out after practice in the afternoon at mamak? Teasing each another? Spending a night in school after concert? Having supper during midnight in KFC? Complaining bout practices? Laughing and crying after every competition? Crying in the lecture theatre 2 weeks before 2004 Perak Band Finals? Coming to school in the morning of competition day for rehearsal at stadium? Feeling nervous before it’s our turn to perform? Warming up behind the stadium? The feel of stepping into the stadium and on the field? The moment when we stepped out and hear the cheers of the crowd?

These are the things we are putting down now. Honestly these are the memories that made my tears flow down my cheeks while typing this. Few hours from now we would be leaving the band but I always keep this in my heart. I really hope to see you guys, my brothers coming back next year, spending another 12 minutes on the stadium field together and bringing our band to achieve greater heights. My dream has always been getting 1st in Perak and touring with the band to overseas. I feel nice whenever I spend my time with a Michaelian Military Bandsman. The feeling is more than just a normal friendship. Things we do together, we do not do it with other people. No matter what happens, keep this in your hearts my brothers

“ Once a band member, Always a band member”

My brothers,
- Joshua
- Navin
- Shahrin
- Bryan
- Jeffery
- Louis
- Wei Sheng
- Desmond
- Sharma
- Wah Lun
- Wilson
- Goh
All the best in your future undertakings

AGM 2008

Yesterday was AGM and then was when I felt that time passed so fast. I still remember the times when I was a form 1 being ordered and commanded by seniors in the line, looking at seniors leave the band after AGM and now it's my turn. How I wish now I am still a junior looking at EXCO's passing their posts to the seniors. Time passes too fast and it was my turn for my batch to pass our posts down to our juniors. 5 years is really that fast? I wonder what would've happen if I did not join the band in form 1. I would be missing so much fun. The thing that I will keep most in my heart is always the competition day from morning till midnight. That is always the best day in my life. Not to forget, all my friends and all who went through band life with me. Thank you all. You guys are the best people I've ever met in life. Without you guys, my life wouldn't be so meaningful. Without you guys in the band, I wouldn't have experience so much, learn so much and grow up to be who I am now. Special thanks to my friends of my batch, my juniors, my seniors, my instructor, my teacher advisors. Thank you all who helped the band to be one big family consisting of people from different backgrounds. THANK YOU
