Back from Hong Kong & Camp.

At least i'm free before the next project, which is supposed to be Christmas Celebration. I'm back from the 6 days HK Trip and 3 days 3 nights Children Camp. One thing, too many stuffs to pack and tidy up. arghh.

Okay, Hong Kong Trip i try to update in every event or place i went. The main function we went to HK was the OSEAL Forum which actually held the 1st ever Leo Conference for OSEAL.

Opening Ceremony, with PCC Jeffrey Quah and DG Kenneth Saw

We paid for the registration fee. It was grand and succesfully held, i think. We went for only a few forum's events so i dont really know about it. =)

Thousands of LIONS & LEOS proceeded to HK Disneyland after the Opening Ceremony. I was told that only LIONS & LEOS in Disneyland for that day. But went there got so many outsiders. Boo... Anyway, the entrance fee is included in the registration fee.


Arghh, im lazy to write more. Just to say that the trip was diferrent from my past trip to other place. Attending the forum, meeting new friends, travelling, trying new food, staying at the campsite, enjoying part of the HK lifestyle... and of course missing flight. woohooo... Okay, i try to tell more in the next post larh.

That's my life.

Final Exam's Aftermath

• Been not updating for ages. Yes, i think a lot might wonder how's my life going on. Okay, here it goes, i ponteng-ed almost everyday after my final exam, stayed at home, watched some series and movies from my sis notebook.
• My last week of school was just fabulous, though i went for just one and a half day. Gambling was the hottest trend in my school, i didnt join them as i has no interest in gambling. Returned the books, and i dare to say my books are one of the few in best condition since they borrowed us in the start of the year. I only touched history and add maths'. XD
• I did play a game of badminton during that week with my classmates. Argh, badminton just not my game, so i just went back to school with ZF to judge the afternoon session's interclass handball competition. Thats far better. =)

2008 Year End Holiday

First Week.

• My holidays kicked off with a superb weekend. 8.00am sharp, we went to SJK (c) Kheng Tian for the preparation of our upcoming Heath Screening Project with CDK in December. Flyers distribution, hung up posters, banners.... We went straight to Mcd's for Anni's meeting. Was late, so i just passed them wat to discuss n i rushed to my dentist appointment. Afternoon went to gurney to check out cam for my sis. Night we whole family went for a dinner and sent sis to airport. Off she went, Orlando. Then, they dropped me at Queens to meet up A5 guys.

Bye, see you in Feb sis!!

• Damn saturday night, no place to sleep, went Friday's to watch my lovely Man U. Then walked around, ppl started to come for the Penang Bridge International Run. Kapitan (that weird mamak high class restaurant who spilled my friend's drink during my last TWO visits. Kapitan Boleh!!) was lucky to earn my $$ for so many times that night. &*$%@##$!!!!
• I went for the so called 25KM half marathon. Hello, go and back of the bridge already around 26 larh tolong, and you started off at queens you know. 3am prepared, lengang here and there, 4.30 kicked off. I was happy with my performance till the end of the toll in the mainland. I ran 98% until there. WTH, ppl all stopped by there to pee at the roadside, during the marathon. Reached queens at 7something, and slept there. Then back home, slept whole day.
  
• Monday started my one week date with Alvin. We were together everyday until our sat night's Anni. Went prangin, gurney, queens this week. No doubt, was with Alvin all the time. ahahaha. lol.
• Yes, i was disappointed with them for not helping out in this anni. Only 4 ppl doing job. And thats why we failed our anni celebration, with some commenting it as the worst dinner they'd ever attend. I've been thinking of that problem, I know what I'm doing, I'm trying my best to bring back the club okay.
  
• For those who know nothing about our anni, we brought St. Joseph kids to Butterfly Farm, we raised 1k for the autistic children and we celebrated club's birthday in a dinner.

Second week.

• Wanted to tidy up my room, but failed. Cous n family came for this week, at least i wont be that bored.
  
• Almost at home most of the time, texting and fooling with my cousins.
  
• Went snake temple with them. Wow, the first time in my 16 years i went there, and they are undergoing renovation. damn. By the way, there were two snakes on the tree though. *Lucky i wasn't get bitten by snakes. woohoo.
• Sunday morning went to a walkathon with my parents at Air Itam Dam there, cous went back. Afternoon went to mainland to makan at aunt's place.
• Arghhh, i wasted my whole week doing nothing basically.

Third week.

• Packed my stuff for my trip.
  
• And pity me, no ppl at home these few days and i got nothing to eat. XD
• So im flying tonight.

They did a great job, even i just replied them once, they kept on updating us about the Leo Conference. Good job, guys. (So you guys know where i'm going)

• Erm i dont really know my schedule over there though. Basically should be as below, thats what KOK sent me.
  
• Okay, only two images for this post. Im way too lazy to update any of is. Might upload them after i come back. Cheers, bye everyone.

Yesterday was CLHS Graduation Day, so we forth formers were entitled to a day off from school!! weee~~~ I browsed through my photos and i found that i got a lot of photos i never see before. Or maybe i just forgot already. Gosh, some are weird, some are funny.

Believe me i can fly, Hock Sheng.

I know it's been quite a time since i updated this blog. But hey, not only me right, all form 4 bloggers slow down their posts, thats why it's so boring surfing blogs these days. I seldom update. I got a super good alasan okay, TEE JIN IS HAVING HIS FINALS!!!! (arh as if lorh)

Tee Jin ada wear pants okay.

This is just one of the useless post. Wanted to post something about Ye or other, but i'm lazy. Nono, i'm having my finals!! hahaha. Anyway, just to tell you, this blog will be back active in five days time. Cheers.

Just join us.

Trust me, you may go crazy sometimes when you take over a super busy club, especially for me being so inexperience. Anyhow, i may start to work out to upgrade, or i can say reform the Leo Club of Chung Ling High School next friday. By the way, tonnes of reports yet to submit, letters yet to send to other clubs, and lots of calls to fellow Lions waiting for me to do before i start a change for the club.

Interested in what do Leo Clubs do?? Feel free to visit our club's site by clicking here!!! Managed by our Mr Vice President, Nicholas Chan. There's a lot of activities during the year end holidays. Even me myself, may not be able to attend all!! Check them out at that site.

There's quite a number of joint projects with sister clubs lately.

And thanks Seng for the photos.

Join us, Let's Enjoy Ourselves! -quotes from our past president.

Greenlane's Mcdonald

I went to Greenlane's Mcdonald on the last day of the PMR Examination. Just as last year, they finished their Geography paper around 9something, then woooaaaCrazy they went. A schooling Friday, A working day, let's see how the day was.

8.00am - I reached Penang largest Mcdonald. Not many people. A few working adults stopped by to have breakfast then went to work in a rush. Retirees came in sports suit. I supposed they have just finished their tai-chi session.

9.00am - I had my breakfast, along with Arron and Jiunn. Early morning meetings could be seen too. Few CLHS F3 guys came, marking the end of the 08' PMR.

10.00am - School uniforms could be seen, more and more. CLHS, PFS, PCGHS, GSS, HENG EE, CHUNG HWA..... later on, This big restaurant turned into a school. Hundreds of students. Around 40-50 PFS guys came together, straight went upstairs. Weird.


11.00am - We moved outside as its too noisy in the restaurant. WTH!!! PFS guys ponteng-ed here and sat all around us. Smoking, gambling, vulgaring.... without even ordering a SUNDAE CONE!!!! terrible.


12.00noon - Malays seen flirting around with girls. Indians and some malays seen smoking and gambling. Chineses (Me! Me! Me!) seen looking at their SUCCESS Biology and Form 4 SEj Textbook. *All of them are students.* Every outsiders who walked pass had wierd looking at us. No choice, terrible Education System. Students all ponteng, except those Form3s.

1.00pm - Few of my friends get frustrated as it's really noisy and they're like so so uneducated. I put on Nicholas's iTouch to listen some musics instead of listening those XXXX words. TIAN came to meet us, while being fooled by Anthony. haha

2.00pm - Just when i was thinking that us ChungLing boys were better than them, i saw few of my schoomates far opposite Mcdonald. Yes, them! They've finished school. They came for a lunch?? I don't think so. TIAN was still doing Add Maths beside me (As if!!!)


3.00pm - Answers revealed. They came to gamble. They came to meet up with girls. Ohh, Chung Ling boys!!! Not feeling to study anymore, went upstairs to see how fun were they. TIAN and i went to the playground as well.


4.00pm - Cannot tahan already, went home. I'm relieved i still got only one year left in Malaysia's Education System.

This should be my most serious time with TIAN. I cant really find a serious time with him.





By the way, i just found that i went on a date with Arron the day before this.

I had breakfast, lunch and dinner with him. We spent practically 13hours together. Happy, Arron? muahahaaa.

He taught me something lately, he really concentrate during study. Great.

Photos as memories.

1,2,3.. Smile!! Come on, boy.. smileeee.... Argh, they just cant smile. (40 peoples were looking at them though)

Nicholas Chan is tall.

Wahh. 70's Poker player. So not alike. (Chin Lai & Tjun Yee)

Monitors smile more often than prefects. XD
(Dont play with me, Deputy Head of Prefects is my friend okay, saw the photo?!!!) haha. That's C.Siong.

Disagree that monitors smile more often and smile better?? Zhao Wei proves you're wrong. He's on the far right.

Annual Showcase next. Should i go or not?? Argh.

Ya, you need two hands to adjust a heavy chair like this, with a big smile of your face.. Cheers, Jie.

One last School Service Project with the A. group. Say me power abuse, yes, im not going to let Leos to help that guy anymore since he treated me so well.

Chung Ling High School may not have good students, but undeniably it has the best teachers among Malaysia's public high schools.
Top quality. High Standard.
The above guy is of course one of them.

Kar Wai!!! He's funny!! haha. He wrote something nice for our grad mags. Remember to have a look at his side of our 09' grad mag.

Teejin is just so nice to allow people, who was so eager to kiss him, to do things like this in school. See, love is blind. haha

SONY ALPHA is Conquering!!

I'm sure those who follow the cameras' news knew about the latest release of DSLR by SONY ALPHA. It's the first pro DSLR for Alpha, A900!!!

Drop the thoughts that Sony's camera is pricey, Sony T's version maybe expensive but not Sony Alpha. This full frame DSLR currently stands at RM9,999 (retail price), a little cheaper compare to other brands at the pro level of DSLR.

I'm not going to elaborate about the features or the pros and cons of A900 as i'm yet to touch it myself personally. Get here, if you're interested in this cam.


Personally im a Sony Alpha user. Many suggested not to get a Sony's DSLR, instead go for the stable and well-known Nikon's and Canon's. I would say just go for anything that suits you most. Every cam's has its pros and cons, you dont compare Nikon D40 with Alpha 700, you dont compare Canon 40D with Alpha 300.

I asked a lot of people why dont they go for Sony Alpha. ''They are newbie only larh, so few models only, and not many ppl tried it'' , ''yes, the body is okay, its cheap, but you'll regret as the Sony lenses and accessories are bloody expensive'' Basically i got these two answers.


Okay. Let me clear you guys wrong perceptions towards SONY ALPHA, and why you should go for SONY ALPHA from now on.

• Sony Alpha's DSLR system has history of decades as Sony took over Minolta's DSLR division. Not a newbie okay.
• Sony is a major image sensor (both CCD and CMOS) manufacturer for DSLR. Do take note that they produce image sensors for Nikon DSLR system (ie: Nikon D40x, D80 and D200 are using Sony CCD sensor which are also used in Sony A100, A200 and A300..... D300's CMOS sensor is the same sensor as A700).
• Sony Alpha cameras are some of the cheapest in the market. Not only that, they also offer more functions compare to competitors.
• Along with the release of Alpha900, Sony announced a substantial price cut for almost the entire range of standard and G lenses. *High up to all Alpha owners!!*

Now with cheaper lenses and with the oh-its-so-affordable DSLRs available from Sony Alpha, why dont you try them??

*This post is not for advertising purposes but to tell people to consider Sony Alpha if you're getting a camera, and dont tell me Sony has no experience in DSLR, Sony lenses so expensive ANYMORE!!! YOU'RE OUTDATED IF YOU DO SO.

P/S: My Nikon's P&S cam is dead. Any good and budget P&S to intro??

Run, Run, Run.

It supposed to be a nice morning and me enjoying myself on my bed, ignoring the fact that i'm having the final exams just in a week time. I slept for two hours and got up at 5something to prepare for the City Run 08'.

Our Sports Teacher wanted us to go for this run. It should be my forth athletic event of the year, after the school-level 8km marathon, school-level Penang Hill Hike, and the Walk for Life, organised by Tesco Malaysia. (I seriously not interested in athletics. Other sports please!!!)

As the title said, City Run. It has around 2,500 of participants while 30something of it were us, 4SA5 boys. The marathon started off at Prangin Mall, with us 4SA5 boys shouting towards our CAT CM, and he actually waved us back!!

The run wasn't as far as we've expected, although it stated that it's 10km. Or maybe we were way too talkative troughout the run, speaking to almost everyone, greeting ppl a good morning even the polices and other participants. Basically, the run went around like this, Prangin Mall-Penang Road-Jln Sultan Ahmad Shah-Jln Cantoment-CRC-Jln Macalister-Prangin Mall. Erh, something like that lar.

Free flow of Milo! Wee~~

The best part of the event was not the run. You can see the photo above, so many people sitting there just for one dream,to bring home the grand prize of the lucky draw, a motorcycle EX5 (I got no idea what model is it as i know nothing about motorcycle.) Whatever speech, prize giving ceremony... No people has interest on that except for that motorcycle. Yeah, that's the typical attitude of Penangites. Everyone stood up and walked away just the second Emcee announced the lucky numbers after knowing that they were not the lucky ones. NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE BOTHERS TO SEE WHO WON THAT GRAND PRIZE!!! Cheers, Penang kias.

By the way, i'm going to another three events after the exams.

Another city run, around Pulau Tikus this time, 9th of November 08. Jom lari!!

Penang Bridge International Marathon, the best ever marathon to be held in Penang. I'm going for just half-marathon (25km) as im ineligible for the full one. The registration time is 3am, so a movie at GSC, Queensbay Mall before the run perhaps? Anyone??

Lastly will be the famous one, the Penang Starwalk 08'. Another great event to spend time together with friends or family. Walk around, talk around, and bring home some prizes. That's nice. 14th Dec 08' for this event.

So everyone, do tell me if you're going for any of the above events, let's have fun there!!!
