2008-11-26T14:07:00.003+08:00

SPM

2008-11-17T13:02:00.002+08:00

So......... boring at home. I've got no one to talk to, much less quarrel with. Anyway, my bro is leaving early next year to go for NS. I can't wait. I'm going to be home alone. So nice to have the whole house to myself. Hahaha........ So evil. Don't tell my bro I told you this, ok?

Birthday!

2008-09-30T12:33:00.003+08:00

Yay!! I just celebrated my birthday on 27 September 2008. Aiya, why must my birthday be so near PMR? Only 1 week rest then 1 more week of revision and practice and then, PMR. Alamak. I think I'm going to have a heart attack.

Hari Terbuka!

2008-06-20T18:44:00.002+08:00

I hate to announce this but I have to. Tomorrow will be Hari Terbuka in our school.Why must it be on Saturday? Why can't it be on a school day? Not only that, after taking report card, we have to stay in school for another two hours just because it's ko-kurikulum. Why? Why can't we go home after taking report card? What can I do for two hours? Yeah, there are stalls and pameran, but can it fill my time for two hours? I'm not suprised a few parents complained. Hari Terbuka is also on tomorrow because the teachers have this idea that parents are more free on Saturday. But I want to sleep. If not for the fact that they will be taking attendance, I couldn't be bothered.

Debate!

2008-06-20T18:35:00.005+08:00

Ok, I know it's a bit late to announce this, but the Kluang team, which is us, beat the Kota Tinggi team but lost to the JB (Pasir Gudang) team. But that's all right. What matters is we enjoyed ourselves.I got to know a few new friends. We even set a new record. We're the first school to be happy to lose.The Kota Tinggi boys lost to the Convent Girls from Kluang. This time we lost to JB, two years ago, we beat them. People say what goes up will come down. How true!

Debate!!

2008-04-29T20:20:00.003+08:00

The date for the state level debate has been postponed.The original date was fixed for the 8th to 10th of May.The new date is not confirmed but it's somewhere in June. What a shame. I had been looking forward to meeting the Kota Tinggi team. I still remember that we beat the JB team but lost to the Kulai team. It was quite a sobering lesson to teach us about our pride. It reminded me to be humble.

No Eden's Day for Me...

2008-04-08T11:50:00.003+08:00

Aiya, I cannot go for Eden's Day! The debate's state level competition will be held on the same day. I want to cry already. Why?!!! One more thing. If we win this round, we will have to prepare for the next round while the other students are taking their exam. But we will take the exam after school.He! He! How nice! I can take my exam in peace..

Insect bites!

2008-03-12T16:57:00.003+08:00

As most of you know, I jst came back from the Agape Youth Ablaze's very first youth camp at El Sanctuary from Saturday to Monday. The place was nice save for the insect bites. The food was good! But after I came back, I had all sorts of insect bite marks on me. they were on my neck, my thighs, my feet, everywhere! So itchy! My ever annoying brother kept telling me the whole night that it was scabies. I went to the doctor this morning and met Ryan. He told me it wasn't scabies. What a relief! Anyway, doctor gave me two containers of cream and some pills.

Next round, it's Convent vs STK.

2008-02-27T18:52:00.003+08:00

Convent had previously beat SJM and beat STAB today in debate. I didn't make it for last week's debate at SJM. My friend told me that I missed watching the 'drama'. As I later found out, our school's debate team didn't really need to worry. The SJM team was like butter. All we did there was 'melt' it. My friends who were there to watch were mostly laughing at the SJM team. They said I could have laughed to death just by watching them. But today was even better. We managed to beat STAB. And to think they were champions of three years ago. Looks like we worried unduly. We were so worried that we wouldn't make it through this round. Next, we'll be facing STK.

Debate!!!

2008-02-19T17:41:00.004+08:00

I know my blog has been 'dead' but let me assure you that my blog is not dead, it was merely sleeping (Jesus raising Jairus' daughter from the dead.) But anyway, I'm feeling quite miserable right now. I've been selected as a new member of the school's debate team. I'm a part of the research team.My job is mainly to look for information (the ones I found on the internet were nonsense), check and correct the debaters' grammar, form sentences and basically anything to ease their burden. I didn't become a member of the debate team of my own free will. my classmates sabo me! It actually happened like this,one day, Puan Sarojini asked us this question "Who do you think has the POTENTIAL to be a debater?" Suddenly, the whole class started to go crazy, everyone was shouting my name like 'ELAINE, ELAINE!' and I was just seating there moaning to myself "No!, I don't want!" but anyway my name was written down and Ihad no choice but go for the audition. Luckily the teachers didn't choose me as a debater.i'm so happy! I don't have much work to do.

ESP CAMP!

2007-12-13T09:34:00.000+08:00

Seriously, ESP Camp was fun! I never laughed so much during a message before. Daniel was so funny! He really imitated Pas. Elijah! Anyway,there were so many people. I met so many new friends. The moment I mentioned my name, people thought I was Eliana's sister(she has a sister named Elaine.) I also saw the winner of that singing competition, Digi Celebriteen: The Next Teen Star, Clement Foo at camp. I feel so bad for not going up to say hello to him. It's okay, I'll sunbian congratulate him next year.

Deepavali blues.....

2007-11-12T14:40:00.000+08:00

While everyone else was celebrating The Festival of Lights, I was at home coughing and having a fever that went up and down like a roller coaster. Those few days were like hell! I don't know how I pulled through. I also had a very sore throat. Everything I longed to eat was unhealthy and unfit to eat.(Aiyah,nothing to eat!)

Book review (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)

2007-10-17T20:54:00.000+08:00

Ha! Ha! Yeah! I'm doing a book review on this wonder-filled book. As you have read in the ending of The Magician's Nephew, Digory built a wardrobe out of the magical apple tree from Narnia. It is also written that although Digory built it, he never discovered any of its hidden secrets. In the next story.Digory is the aging, old Professor Kirk. In Narnia, boys are known as Sons of Adam while girls are known as Daughters of Eve. The White Witch is a symbol of Satan, enemy of mankind, which is why she seeks to destroy every boy or girl that enters Narnia. Aslan is a Christ-like figure in this story. In this story, the four children try to find Aslan to win the battle of good against evil. As the story goes, good wins over evil.

C.S.LEWIS

2007-10-17T20:21:00.000+08:00

C.S.Lewis is a really great author. Did you know that C.S.Lewis was a christian? After writing The Magician's Nephew, he somehow quit becoming a christian. But GOD is great. Knowing C.S.Lewis' troubles,GOD sent J.R.R.Tolkien to his aid. After returning to GOD's enormous family, he wrote The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. There is a great story behind the story about the four siblings that is Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy as you will see in the next post. (Sorry ah, but I have to interrupt my book review for a little while. the story's just too long. maybe I'll finish it after ESP camp.)

School is starting again soon!

2007-10-16T17:25:00.000+08:00

Whew! In about 5 days, we will all be going back to school and studying boring old subjects again. I really hope to finish revising before exams start. I have a really annoying elder brother playing his guitar and singing the whole house down. Honestly, it gets on my nerves sometimes. But going back to exams, I think that facing textbooks and exercise books is a lot worse than having an annoying elder brother. So having an annoying elder brother actually helps in a way, relieving stress. But usually I don't experience pre-exam stress. That kind of stuff doesn't usually get to me.

EXAMS!! YAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

2007-10-12T15:37:00.000+08:00

Exams! What a frightening word. I'm totally unprepared. But anyway, who wouldn't be? It's the
Peperiksaan Akhir Tahun. One small mistake would influence your chances of getting into the first class 3(1) and the pressure is high. I'm not really confident this time round cos I didn't do very well the last time. I've been doing a lot of latihan lately and I'm really tired. I feel like sleeping all the time but I just can't fall asleep(sleeping is not as easy as you think it is). I feel soooo stressed out.

One week holiday! WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

2007-10-11T20:57:00.000+08:00

Hi guys! Its me again. I am so happy! I have a blog! My very own blog!MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!....
I have one whole week to blog! YAAHOOO! Life is great. Truly great.

Actually, I have a confession to make. i didn't plan on having a blog. But Jit encouraged me or rather forced me. But I have no regrets. I had actually been planning to have one for a really long time. So I am really happy to have a blog.

Welcome to the wonderful world of books!

2007-10-11T08:33:00.000+08:00

As you read the title of this blog, you can guess its contents. But thats not all. This blog will weave you into the mesmerizing world of books. Books of every kind, will be found in this large and spacious library!

I don't deny that I love books. In fact, I can't live without them!
But this blog is not about books, but rather the one who reads them.

This blog is new, so to you bloggers out there, do give me ideas on what to write. I will really appreciate your guidance and help.
