Happy May 16th!

To all those wonderful teachers that have stepped into my life and touched me, nurturing and moulding me into who am I today, all I could do is salute to you all solemnly and with great respects.

However, throughout these years, things have changed and so as the way I perceive thing. Perth has been a great place and taught me a lot of things, especially from the way I embrace the society and the world. The distance between where am I now which I can consider as my second home and my hometown has taught me a lot too. Anyway, switching back to the original track, I am here, with humongous appreciation to my parents who go through the mill of transporting from a place to another. Not only my dearest parents, but to also my teachers.

From the joyful and fuss-free kindergarten to another fun-filled elementary school and then to another thrilling, exciting and challenging secondary school, from the bottom of my heart I thank all the teachers who have taught me, even though you could have been a temporary teacher. Yet invoking a Chinese saying that sounds, “Once a teacher, forever your guru“. To my kindergarten teachers who have taught me without hesitance and marvellous patience and primary school educators who are patient with our childish behaviour and immature acts, thank you very much.

As for my secondary teachers, not only you all teach me the importance of knowledge, during the rebellious stage of a teenagers, you have been the light shining on a sailing boat with no clear direction on the coarse see, you shine us how to love someone with the true heart. You teach me to express my true self and be valourous and courageous to embrace the challenges in society and the world that lie ahead of me. You teach me that there is no fear in venturing through the darkness for you have equipped me with the best treasure that I can carry all along my life – KNOWLEDGE.

For more than a decade I have been in schools and now moving on to college, I really miss all my teachers. And for this year, I have learnt that the greatest reward a teacher want is not only the aisle of straight As you have and the gift you present them, it is the simple words like ‘Thank you’ and ‘I love you’ that is enough to touch their soft heart, for you still remember teachers who have taught you before. Thus, this year, I have decided to say a humongous ‘Thank you’ and ‘I love you’ for there are nothing else mightier than the 2 phrases that you have taught me throughout my whole life!

Hence, to all teachers who have left their footprints in my heart, I sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart and last but not the least, today is the day just for you!

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!

Cheers!

*I know I am one week later to post this XD*

Cheers! I got my SPM result last week. Oh well, most of my friends have asked me about my result on Facebook and Skype and some perhaps have even seen my name on newspaper. *vain much*. Anyway, just a post to keep record for myself. Haha. I was totally over the moon when I received my SPM result! I could still picture myself jumping like mad when I received text from Mdm. Tan. XD.

Below is my result, my purpose is not to show off, but to keep my own stuff in mind. XD

BAHASA MELAYU A+

ENGLISH 1119 A+

GCE O LEVEL ENGLISH A1

CHINESE A-

MATHEMATICS A+

ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS A+

SCIENCE A+

BIOLOGY A

CHEMISTRY A

PHYSICS A-

SEJARAH A

PENDIDIKAN MORAL A+

And yes you know! Straight As for me! XD. Despite the fact that I did not obtain straight A+s, which never come across my mind though, I feel very happy about my result. Look! I hate Chinese so much when I was in Form 4 and Form 5. I screwed Chinese for 2 consecutive years and I turn out not bad! Haha. Lessons taught to someone: Never judge a book by its cover. XD

Ocean of thanks to my parents, who bailed so much money sending me to tuition classes, purchasing reference books and workbooks for me until an extend where my bookshelves collapsed! XD. Think about that, I could have spent thousands on books. But anyway, I never regret and I love my books, especially Maths and Additional Maths books! I love them and I keep them like treasure, even now! XD

I’d love to thank all my teachers, for their unfailing support and help throughout all these years in Kuching High. Oh KHS rocks! I  mean I have been in Kuching High for 5 years and I managed to excel with straight As back in PMR and now SPM! So, KHS was not so bad after all! XD. For tuition teachers who have assisted me along the way, bunches of thanks are here for you all too!

Lastly but not the least, to all my friends who have assisted me in any other ways, thank you so much throughout these 5 years! Thanks for what you guys had taught me directly or indirectly! Now, sitting in front of my MacBook, I had suddenly a very spacious feeling. I suddenly felt so fortunate to know all my bunch of loyal friends back in Kuching High, who really taught me the hidden meaning of a genuine friendship, the sacrifices teens can make for their friends and lots more. I tend to make a lot of reflections recently. More post are to be up soon!

Congratulations to all my friends who had performed marvellously! For those who might not be satisfied with your results, SPM is just part of the journey of your life. It’s the present and future that matter the most. See! I was so trashed when I got my UPSR result back then. I flunked it, it was like 6A 1B and see, I grow up to be well, PMR and SPM were like bon voyage to me! XD

Till then, and I miss you all!

The Epilogue Closes Well

Can you still remember you were once the jumpy pumpy little kid fooling around in secondary school when you first step in Secondary One? The one that has no worries and just love to make friends, venture into new adventure as we unveil the next chapter of our life.

Jumpy pumpy me was all around in the school cooperative movement throughout the five years, providing faithful and unfailing service to the school. When the school began this year, little did we know that despite all those reluctance, we are soon to bid goodbye again to our school. However, we were still overtaken by the fun and chill with friends, the hyperactive moment in co-curricular. Never ever it flashes our mind that 14 December was so fast, or should I say rapid like thunder.

We went through so many stuff this year especially for Highians. We were the pioneer to organise Kuching High’s Down Memory Lane – our school open day. Never before our seniors did that and all we could do was seek advice around. That was indeed one major challenge we had this year in co-curricular.

People changes. Yup. So friends change sometimes, from time to time. Unpredictable is the word. You might not realise that but for once we could be so close and nice and the next moment something might have prop out. Yet, I know that we are still clenching on the friendship, a bond that we hope it could lasts.

Examinations are definitely our worst nightmare. It plunges us straight to hell when teachers kept on reminding us about SPM or The Malaysia General Certificate of Education. We knew how essential that papers were. Perhaps the jumpy pumpy part of us that still exists within our deep heart core. We were sometimes like ‘Never mind, there is still essential time for revision’. Little did we know that procrastinating was a bad thing, yet we were like daredevils going against time.

5 years is a long time. If you were to ask me to blabber them all out once, I might not be able to do so for so many things coincided and occurred. However, 5 years of High School life has definitely taught me something beyond what is found in our syllabus. High School taught me more about SELF-DISCOVERY, FRIENDS, LIFE and many more. In fact, I guess it is infinity.

For friends, I do hope we can clench onto our friendship and make it lasts forever. We have ventured through hardships and odds together and I sincerely wish that we could carry on with it until the rest of our life. As for rivalry, I have decided to cast it aside, after all we are now all separated.

As for teachers, some dearest teachers who have taught me, I sincerely thank you from my deepest heart. Some of upper secondary teachers who are kind enough to walk pass my life and touch me, they are like Mdm. Lee Wai Fong, Mdm. Ting Yee Ung, Dr. Lau Bee Yian, Mdm. Ting Tieu Wei, Ms. Lim Yee, Mr. Chen Fong Hin, Mr. Eng Bung Chai, Mdm. Hu Sing Min and Ms. Ko Hui Ing. Not forgetting my junior level teachers such as Mdm. Nazrah Maruf, Mdm. Sutinah Mohd. Tahir, Mdm. Tay Moh Teng, Mdm. Chin Chei Vun, Mdm. Norayati Ahmad and lots more. As for some teachers who ain’t so good, once again, also thank you for teaching us, despite you might not be so good. XD

At last, 14 December 2009 marks the end of SPM and also the end of my high school life in Kuching High. Although tears did not fall, little do I know I am reluctant to bid goodbye to the school. However, people has to move on to the future and we cannot always stay putt at where we are. Looking forward to a brighther future is what my school wants all of us to do, and we are doing that.

Anyway, the epilogue closes well with all of us graduating from high school with a proud title called…

EX-HIGHIANS!

ONCE A HIGHIAN, FOREVER A HIGHIAN.

Finance Club Gathering

I know I was absolutely procrastinating. The Finance Club Gathering was back in August and I only update them now. So sorry. And my blog was so still and dead. Every day I thought of accessing the Internet and update my blog but to no avail. Thanks to my trial exam. No choice. Study. Study. Study. Study. Blah =p. Sick of it.

Yup. Everyone all time’s favourites – Pizza XD

The famous pepperoni pizza! Yummy! I L.O.V.E. this one =)

Whenever there is a new techno stuff, there is Pauline! Haha

Oh well, finally a year of hard work and diligent effort for the school Finance Club pay off! And since I handed my post over to Yen Ru officially during the club AGM, my sweet time of being the club’s president and my journey in the school co-curricular draws to an epilogue.

Co-curricular taught me the three stages of life:

1. Initially, when you first join a club, you would be lifted with high spirit, high hope and you are absolutely committed. It is also at this stage you make more friends and increase your boundary in life.

2. This stage you begin your struggles. You feel so stressed out by your work besides academic pressure. We all crave being a all-rounder but sometime God creates us with certain limit. Pushing to the limit causes you to show apathy towards your club. It is always true that after you reach the peak of anything, you would either plateau off or slide down. It’s proven true. =)

3. The stage of waving goodbye. At the end of the day, despite all those hardships you have ventured through throughout your 5 years, you will have a feeling of unwilling to let go. Either the sweet or the hurting memories has being craved in your heart core forever. When you flashback, you would feel so touched and proud of what you have done! Trust me. That’s true. Also, you have come to this stage of your life, it’s because you got…

… A GROUP OF UNFAILING FRIENDS AND TEACHERS …

PROVIDING YOU WITH SHELTER, LOVE, CARE AND GUIDANCE.

Teachers – for being considerate, loving, caring and guiding us throughout these years

Friends – who have being truly stand by your side and bring you through everything!

Seriously, at the epilogue of my co curricular life, I would allow tears of being touched and loved fall, as much as it wish. The tear is the silhouette a fond memory of my school life! And I am seriously enjoying my secondary life.

I.L.O.V.E.Y.O.U.G.U.Y.S.

Till then and may our path cross again!

Friends Forever =)

Super Duper

It has being a super duper week for me and for most of the Highians. First, we need to rectify our waking hours perhaps from 9 am to 5.30 am! Yea. School reopens. Darn. The school gestures us with the stacks of examination papers flowing back! Argh. So much for an ave.

My results drop a little this time only my chemistry which I dump in so much effort yet I still got a B! What the Heck! Alright. At least still not a C or below. Fine. Pull up my socks next time. I know. And that has being the advice I give to myself as an excuse. Sigh.

Tuesday I sat for my driving law and finally what a 17 year old teen crave item is in my hand! DRIVING LICENSE! Yeap! I pass my driving! Thank God. And if you read the preeciding post, the driving exam coincide with my Koperasi meeting. For Heaven sakes, I got the first slot in which I managed to sit for my driving exam before lunch hour and got to attend my very last ALK Koperasi meeting! Cheers! I am so on cloud nine when things just work out perfectly!

Wednesday was just an ordinary day until yesterday. All of a sudden all Highians, teachers and students were transformed into agitated interior designers – turning every corner of the school into something spacious and beautiful! Yea. Thanks to the fire that razed the school last year, the school board of management has come out with the “Down Memory Lane” master plan to help raise fund for the school. Yea. And students are the victims and the MAIN HUMAN POWER of course. Sigh. I really sympathise those prefects, dashing up and down. They are really brisk workers! XD. Exclude me of course XD.

Financial Club exhibition was artistically and beautifully done! Thanks to all my members! I am really elated at the compliments received from the teachers! Thank you guys! Daniel has being the great leader. Pauline and Cindy have never fail to give me unfailing support. The other members also did fantastically well too! Haha. I am really impressed that you guys can produce something that nice in a jiffy! Thank you!!

Alright. The school’s being totally not a school at all for this week, just for the sake of 20 June (tomorrow) event. Wish everything could run well and keep fingers cross that we could raise as much fund as possible to rebuild our school.

Tomorrow I am going to be super duper – Olympiad Math competition at UiTM, Mathematics Department Booth and Financial Club Booth! Super Man much? Whoo! Next week, Koperasi Day + Sports Day!

Darn. I can feel the fatigue ailing me insolently already. Sigh.

::LEON HA::

Updating

Yea! I had been missing in action for more than a week. People tried to text me, hunt down for me in MSN or by phone but to no avail. Reason is – I flee to PERTH for my vacation! Haha. The one week break is really awesome. At least I got some time to relax and let go of everthing especially my result that is ailing me mentally. I was back last Sunday and I knew I had to face the tiles and piles of undone assignment.

Invoking my status in Facebook “Overlooking the piles of undone assignments…“

Frankly, it is 12.00 midnight and I am still busy in front of my laptop trying to finish assignments and complete competition things due in June!!

Worst Exam Ever

Seriously, exam has just finished today but I have a feeling this time round would be my worst exam ever. Frankly, I do not have sufficient time to prepare. Unlike last time which I had abundant of time to study during the year-end break and Chinese New Year hols here and there. And this time essays come in which I definetly am bad in. I know I need to pull up my socks but no matter how diligent I get, sometimes my brain does not have enough vacant space for all the information!

Mathematics occupies part of it, gossips and personal stuffs. There are indeed so many things need to be stored in the brain! History and Biology those memory-tasking subjects are really collapsing my brain’s neurones. I guess they have all overworked! Gosh! WTF! I know I am not a versatile student who is multi-task in so many field! I can tell you frankly I am damn interested only in:

* Mathematics

* Additional Mathematics

* General Science

* Accounting

* Koperasi

* MONEY

I had apathy towards the rest =) thats why I do not focus much and do not excel. You have to vindicate off the blame from me. I guess I was borned to be infatuated with the 6 items above. What can I do about that? Rebel against God’s arrangement and try something ridiculous? Nyeh. I AIN’T AETIS! XD. *lame excuse*

Perhaps I’ll just wish to blabber out all my unease and irksome feeling that faltered me throughout these 2 weeks. I had nightmares, broken sleep, insufficient rest and lots more. Tomorrow I can’t sleep well too, 11pm gonna arrive in Perth! What the! How can I sleep then? Gosh. Guess that’s just a sudden adjustment to my life.

Fine, back to packing.. XD Just a HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone of you out there! XD

1st Term Examination

You know that the school is enveloped by pin-drop silence and just the cacophony of the bell that sounds every 35 minutes, the teachers dashing from classes to classes and some carrying stacks of papers. Yea. And for the past few weeks, students were all busy hustling around with thick reference books and compelling themselves to complete all undone assignment in order to hand them in on time. They are all the silhouette that indicate that examination is just around the corner.

This happen after Labour Day in KHS…

So you know this blog is going offline until 28 May and so as all other teen surfers’ hotspots like Facebook. Tata! Good luck to me in the examination! XD

::LEON HA::

You Know What They Say…

I was totally seeing red this morning. Duh. I was so innocent and I got reprimanded for no reason? What the Fuck! So it all started with the volley ball thingy thing. Just FYI, every year my school is chosen for all the volley ball competitions. XD. So the leverage of the volley ball competition, especially the final drew the attention of all students to ditch lessons and happily idling away time, cheering and supporting for their teams.

So I ditched Moral. Just for a while. When I suddenly remembered the teachers from Koperasi were hunting down from me. I quickened my pace and dashed off for the staff room to see all the teachers. Later, Mdm. Ting advised me to give the principal the letter personally.

Following instructions, I headed for the staff room and came to know that the principal was not there and the office boy told me he had marched to the hall few minutes ago! Hecks! I missed Mr. Lim. So I ran to the hall and passed him the letter.

After that, I walked pass the corner where Wei Ling and Tan Yee were on their posts, performing the duty (for prefects.. duh..). Suddenly, that Mdm. Wong, the school Asst. Principal of Students’ Affair walked past us. This is the convo that maddened me. Frankly. I still even wish she is here to read my blog!

Mdm. Wong: What are you three doing here? Are you 3 having duties? (3 referred to me, Tan Yee & Wei Ling)

ME: (honestly) No.. I was just passing the letter to Mr. Lim.. Emm. Koperasi’s stuff

Mdm. Wong: (rudely and arrogantly) I WASN’T TALKING TO YOU!

WHAT THE FUCK GOSH! How do you calculate? Me, Tan Yee and Wei Ling, exactly three person and the SECOND ago you were mentioning the trio and now you debated that you wasn’t talking to me and still in the arrogant, immoral attitude! What kind of attitude do you have?! And you are an Additional Math teacher, simple 3 person you also miscounted it?! What the?! And I do accept the apology if you.. you know say sorry by saying such harsh words on me but you didn’t which compel me to blog the dark side of KHS on blog! I was saying in such an honest and polite tone! Nuts!

Hence, you know what they say, a MONSTROUS leader spawns PROBLEMED followers. So next time if you see me behaving not like the behaviour of an ordinary perfect, vindicate off the blames as you yourself do not communicate politely and from now on, you lost your respect from me!

You deserve it! It’s better you read it! I’m glad that you would make reflection upon your own mistake. Learn your lesson! No one is perfect, so as YOU!

…still seeing red now…

17 Birthday =)

LEON DA FABULOUS TURNS 17 TODAY!

I am really taken down by surprise for time elapses too fast. Another year gone! My sweet 16 is off into thin air and I am officially a 17-year-old teen! Gosh! Anyway yesterday or before I have received texts, aural wishes and comments, wishing me birthday.

It all starts with Siew Kiing. She wishes me first at Friendster, followed by Keren who repeatedly wishing me until I instantly feel like my evil chocoholic sister Keren is wishing allthe previous 15 birthday which she owes me like a debt? XD. Anyway, I think I am compelled to return Keren with a zillion of gratitude! Muah sis! XD. The wishes come in rolling unduly (I didnt mean to say the wishes are too much, I am simply touched!)

I am totally speechless and I am really clenching my tears today! I am absolutely, positively touched! I am totally speechless and muted! I do not what to say besides a bunch of thanks!

Upon switching my phone, texts keep rolling in unduly. Felicia, Karen, Cheryl, Shirley (my formal teacher from Kapit), Aunty Agnes text me conveying their birthday wishes (if not what else.. duh XD) I am so touched! I am totally exultant at what have occured throughout the day! Only thing I miss the birthday wishes from an old pal of mine – Esther currently residing in Auckland! Hehe. Esther, please take some appropriate reaction upon reading my blog. XD. *vain much*

Oh I cant believe one thing! Mdm. Ting Yee Ung sent her regards too! Muaks Mdm Ting! Haha. She’s totally like my mum. You’ll know that if you are in my class. So a teacher pet am I. XD. I am really merry today and of course all those abundants of wishes and prexies and most of all the true FRIENDSHIP I’ll cherish them forever inside the deep heart core. And this post is to tell everyone around the world that…
