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!!!

First of all, congratulation goes to IPP Fiona Lee and her team for leading the Leo Club of Penang (City) to win this award. (We're proud to be your sister club!!! xD) Gosh, you're the representative for this award in South-East Asia, besides Leo Club of Medan Emerald, Indonesia.

DO YOU KNOW??? Leo Club of Chung Ling High School actually won the award once during 2005-2006, under the guidance of PP Teoh Shaw Jhee. And i can still remember the moments when we swept all the TOP Awards during the 33rd Leo Forum held in Johor.

Presentation of the Award during Leo Idol 06-07

Competing against Leo Clubs in 130++ Countries is never easy. 140,000 Leos around, thousands of Leo Clubs around. And that's like only 30 places available.

SO when are we going to grab this award again??Next year perhaps?? LOL.










By the way, a lot of ppl always ask me, What are Leo Clubs? Leo Clubs do what? I really don't know how to answer these. 'erh, we're a non-profit charity organisation.' 'we serve the community,we visit the orphanages and old folks often.' Simply, that's my lame answers.

Anyway, i do heard of others explaining Leo Clubs or telling ppl about Leo Clubs. 'Leo Club arh?? that what what Lions one lorh, rich ppl join eh' 'join leo club is to know more girls only larh' 'Leo Club cannot join one, a lot of activities also need money' .... etc.

And at last, i get the best way to answer this question.

'it is virtually impossible to describe the enormous,
heartening and inspirational LEO spirit.''

UNLESS YOU EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF.
- i just love this answer.

Within 500 Days, I'll Graduate!!!!

We took our Graduation Magazine Committees' photos these few days. I wonder how fast the time flies. From the very first moment that i got to know i can enter this school, till today that we are now preparing the Graduation Magazine for our form. Gosh.

Okay, let's see the big bosses in charge of the CLHS 68th Graduation Magazine.

President Kim & President Loh

Secretaries. Gerald & Herrick.

Mr Chin. Treasurer. Mr Yeoh

Seriously, it's really not nice to do these kinda things. You work hard for years just to get everyone a book of memories. (Guess what? We actually started to choose the committees when we're in Form 3!! LMAO) You can always see the committees places at class is empty as they're not around just to MAKE SURE YOU WONT CRITIZE THE MAGAZINE SO BADLY once you get the magazine. (Im sure there's critism for the magazine.) And i bet more than 50% of the ppl dont even know who else working behind this magazine.

Our teacher advisor decided to use a big team for our magazine. That's why you can see, two presidents, two secretaries and two treasurers. And all the other working team also double up their members.

And we got a tradition in CLHS. The magazine is backboned by the Board of Monitors. All the six high posts were held by monitors. Cheers BOM. haha (Of course, im part of BOM!!)
