青少年

青少年,年轻的少年,是一个逐渐成熟,夹杂着稚嫩的灵魂,住在一个略为成熟的躯壳里。一个半成熟的人,既没有成年人的稳重,也没有小孩的天真,但是却拥有奇高的志气,用不完的活力和顽强的斗志。

CSU:Resurrection

2009...
A Choral Speaking team sent by SMK Masking Tape snatched 3rd in the zone-level competition. The team is very happy. After lots of practice and class-skipping, we sucessfully grabbed the fruit beared.

But that was last year.

2010...
This year's Choral Speaking Unit resurrected with not much time left. The standing survivors last year are called back and auditioned. Those that pass start intensive training and bear the weight of Puan Pengetua's hope and the school's fame. Will the team continue to create history? Will the team come back with pride and glory? Yes, time will reveal the truth, but you all only have to wait, while we will have to train !!!

Reminder to all survivors:Torture Starts Tomorrow.

Grand piano

Last Sunday, my family went to Wangsa Walk. In a Yamaha Music Store, I touched a grand piano for the first time.  The touch is TERRIFIC and the damper pedal's sound effects don't make echos like upright pianos do.
I tried it out and it is just so perfect! The notes played are crystal clear and very crisp too. That is way much better than my piano at home. So now, everytime I sit on my piano bench, I would think: it's time to play the lousy piano again.

Impact:2012


Is this the end ?

Hello again. Good morning, afternoon, evening, night or whatever the time you think it is. Straight to the point, I want to say what I think.

The movie "2012" had been successful in its quest for money,but what about its main mission--to tell people the end is near and we have to fight it?

Before this, some books and people had been trying to tell us that the Mayan calendar ends on 2012-12-21, but they didn't go far.After a giant movie, the globe knows about it. But now, a few months later after the release, this is what I got:

What do you think about 2012?
Oh!You mean that movie!

Oh my goodness! Most people only remember the movie! In their minds, they remember the intense earthquakes, the great waves and etc.,but they have put away the message the director had been trying to tell!

Ask anyone on Earth, they can tell you that the Mayans, a mysterious tribe, have "predicted" the end of the world. But what do they think about it? Some think the director is just using this topic to fill up his bank account, some think that it might happen, some don't care at all, and some believe in the story and try their best to live their desired lives.

Actually, many do not know that Nostradamus, the great prophet, predicted that the world ends in 3797. Some books mentioned it, but certainly not the internet.Unlike the Mayans that ended their calendar on 2012-12-21, he made it clear as a PREDICTION. Are the Mayans or Nostradamus wrong? Is 3797 the end for the survivors of 2012?Is it the end for the whole universe? That, that and that, is not important. The important thing is:ARE WE GOING TO LET THEM WITH THEIR CALENDAR OR TONGUE DECIDE OUR FATE ? Of course not! When we board a plane, our lives depend on the pilot. When we ride a taxi, our lives depend on the driver. When it comes to OUR fate, we decide it ourselves, not them with their calendar or tongue. If we start now our efforts to save the Earth, we may be able to extend the time we have.(Like the American President in "2012" said,"Make time.")Whatever happens, we must try our best to save the environment, no matter what.

While you are reading this article, the environment is breaking down. Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, El Ninos,La Ninas...all of these, are happening over the globe with increasing frequency and violence.

It suddenly occured to me that the end of days may not come suddenly as expected by many. The environment had been warning us all the time and it is now punishing us for our ignorance, taking more and more lives. Perhaps the end of days is a slow massacre.

Who knows how the world will end, slow or fast? Maybe the end of days won't come from Earth itself, like the movie suggests, but from us ourselves. Maybe a nuclear war will end all. Maybe a black hole will swallow Earth. Maybe some bomb genius will be foolish for a second and test a devastating bomb on Earth. Maybe Terminators or aliens will reign over us. Who knows?

We, humans, may not be the leading species in the universe, but we certainly are manipulating the environment. It is our fault that natural disasters keep happening, and it IS our job to put the environment back again.

Folks, please contribute to the Earth and save the environment. Remember, dear Earthlings, that we control our own fate.

Is my blog address weird?

Do you think so?I don't. Anyway, it reflects something that is happening quietly.

nowheretoparkat[dot]blogspot[dot]com

Yup, that's what happening silently. Nowhere to park at blogspot. When I started this blog, I had giant trouble with the blog address. Almost no ideal address was available.

AND WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?

Is it good news? Or bad news? I think it's both. The good news is, more and more bloggers are emerging. More people are using blogs to record their life and pass messages on.  The bad news is, space is running out on blogspot.com . Actually, we can aslo use LiveJournal, Typepad, Wordpress, Xanga, or even host our own blog on our own domain, but blogspot.com is still the most popular blogspot.And blogspot.com is probably the most crowded blog domain ever.

So, that is why I say : Nowhere to park at blogspot.com .

What the... ?


It's an Avatar toy I got from a McDonald Kiddymeal. Hey ! Hold your tongue. You haven't heard the whole story yet.

Last year in December, I was in the PERMATApintar camp. One weekend, we were brought to Alamanda in Puterjaya. In a Mcdonald's restaurant, someone we refer to as Kak Long(coz' she's the eldest of all)bought a Kiddymeal package and got the toy. But she did not want it, and so did the others. She was offering it to anyone interested, and I took it. Again, hold your tongue, coz' there's an explanation behind it. That toy actually looks good standing on my piano and is still on it.

What I am actually trying to tell, is everything has their own place. That toy, even though VERY UNSUITABLE for me, still has its own place on the piano. The same goes to a company. Managers, clerks, office boys and even toilet washers have their own place. Well, who is going to wash the toilet if there are no toilet washers?

So, respect everything and everyone. They may have different ratings in your eyes, but they are all playing their respective roles. They are standing where they belong to. Where do you belong to, then?
