How do i start?? I will definitely miss my friends, especially the 5A and 5B ones, they're the best of the best. We introduced ourselves at first without knowing we would graduate from high school together and we went through trials and tribulations faced by our class such as tough exams and scolding from teachers...Hehe...etc.
Today Class 5 Amanah & 5 Budi and 2 'illegal immigrants' from 5 Cekal sat for the last SPM examination paper, English For Science and Technology. It started at 11.40am and ended at 12.40pm for Paper 2 whereas Paper 1 started at 2.00pm and ended at 3.15pm. Honestly, the paper was easy and hopefully I'll get an A for it.
Lets skip to the part where the 'crying' starts. Students screaming, shouting and laughing like SPM is over(Infact, It Is Over!...duh). So, we did some 'must-do' activity that is photo session. Oh!! Before that! Remon & Liana represented the gents and ladies respectively to let their school uniform autographed by every student(But I don't have the photo of it, I will post it once I get it...sabar...sabar). So, we took lots and lots of photos since it might be the last day we meet each other because we may not know what may happen tomorrow or during the future. Liana, I know you cried,we saw your tears, but just to let you know, we all cried in our hearts loudly and sympathetically. It is not something that we wish/ hope for to separate from our friends and continue our journey in respective lives, just remember, we all will be friends for now and always. I cannot answer you why life must be like that, but one thing for sure, I can tell you that things may not always happen the way we want it to be.
OK!! Enough of that sombre atmosphere and pathetic stuff, I'm going to shed my precious tears. After everyone packed their bags and left for home, there were only Mon, Naz & Me left in the school compound. Guess we were the last to leave. The first thing that struck our minds were taking pictures of ourselves, I guess we took dozens but I did not keep track of the number of pictures we took so I can't be specific. After taking those funny and cute pictures, Mon had this idea of calling Kak Sim Yee & Kak Farihah just to spend some time talking to them, so we went to the school's famous phone booth(Which always reject my coins whenever I try to make a call) outside the Staff Room at Block A. The funniest part when the call to Kak Sim Yee went through, the credit limit was already showing 'RM 0.00' and the beeping sound came, our hands were like the conveyer belts at the airport delivering baggage to the passengers, just that we were putting in coins continuously BUT THAT BLOODY PHONE JUST KEPT ON 'VOMITTING' THE COINS. Anyway, we managed to talk to Kak Sim Yee for some time. However, we did not manage to get the line through when we tried to call Kak Farihah, maybe she was sleeping(According to Mon...I don't know a thing).
So, that was it, last day of high school, saying my 'farewell message' to Naz who decided to leave before the rain starts and looking at the back of Mon slowly fading into the horizon(HORIZON?? HE WENT TOWARDS THE DIRECTION THAT LEADS TO THE MAMAK STALL NEAR SCHOOL!!....JK).Anyway, the day ended with a heavy downpour right after i got onto my dad's car.
It's not possible to say everything we did that throughout this 5 years together because it is innumerable. Let me finish this blog topic with a message to my friends:' We May Miss Each Other, But We May Not Forget Each Other For Now and Ever!'
Remember that guys and girls, appreciate what you have/own now as we may not know what the future lies for us as I said earlier. This was actually taken from a Shakespeare saying. Ok then, I'll miss you guys and girls. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

WOOHOOOO!!!!At last ALL the calculation subjects are history now!! FYI, today I sat for Physics paper 1, 2, and 3. It wasn't that hard as i thought but I hope I can score an A for it(obviously for other subjects too). Another thing that I hope for is that the 'Jabatan' don't increase the passing mark on their bell graph for getting an A in all the subjects(instead please decrease it). I feel so relieve now as though I finished my SPM examination, not to mention I still have one more subject to go that is, English For Science and Technology on this coming Thursday. I suppose i mentioned this before, that that'll be my most historical day of my teenage life in secondary school. Ohhh... feel a little emotional now... Anyway, I hope my friends will pray for me for my last exam that i'll be sitting for in secondary school as i would do the same for them too.
HAVE FUN AND ALL THE BEST DURING EST EXAM MY DEAR 5A & 5 B FRIENDS!!!

I have 1 good news and 1 bad news. Let me start with the good news first, I HAVE 2 MORE SUBJECTS TO GO AND 5 PAPERS TILL SPM FINISHES!!! I feel great right now(ignoring the fact that i have my Physics Paper tomorrow). The last day of school just keep coming closer and closer.
Anyway, now comes the bad news, Biology Paper 3 was TOUGH(But i still manage to answer..XD). I guess that wasn't really a bad news eh.
Hmmm....finally I can put aside this whole 'kinda sexual subject'(ignore the bolded word..if you may..Haha) such as polypeptides, deoxyribonucleic acids, deoxyribose, family planning(I like this one though), reproduction(and this one..XD)etc. I guess that's all for today. Tomorrow is 'calculation' day. Honestly, Physics is tough if you don't study, AND I GOT TO GET GOING CAUSE I'M SITTING FOR IT TOMORROW!!! Tschüss!!
~Louis~
Ahh...At last I'm back on the keyboard typing my way into my blog.
As for today, I finished my first science examination paper that is Chemistry in my 'O' level equivalent examination,SPM...
It wasn't that hard neither too easy for comfort.There were about 2-3 question I wasn't sure of but for most of it, I was able to answer.FYI, i answer question 7 for Section B and question 10 for Section C.Question 7 was about food additives, medications and soap & detergent, and question 10 was about strong & weak acids, precipitation to form insoluble salt-lead(II)sulphate and what should be applied to a jelly-fish stung wound(weird one).
One thing for sure, I won't be keeping some of the "wizardy" stuff like those alkene, Contact process, test for cations@anions etc...but i'll still remember H2O9(superhero movie...heheXD).
That's all for now, got to study for my next science paper---Biology that is on next Monday,24th November...Till next time, auf Wiedersehen...

Finally---I'm back from Malacca. Firstly, Malacca's road IS SO CONFUSING AND THE TRAFFIC IS CRAZY(for motorist)!! But I had a great time there with my family, I never felt tired of all the walking especially at Jonker Walk. Except the beautiful girls there, Jonker Walk has a variety of stuff ranging from souvenirs(found at that street abundantly, so you won't be able to miss any souvenir shop), astrology masters(con job-i suppose), girls stuff(more than the abundantly found souvenir shops) and so forth.
One more thing that you can find at Jonker Walk, is the performance held by the dwellers there, it seems that they have various society/organization such as the Hokkien society and Teo Chew society and so on which teach the members of the society different kind of talents. You'll get to see old folks dancing to Michael Jackson's song--BEAT IT, Chinese opera song and the imtolerable karaoke BY OLD FOLKS TOO(imagine the high pitch they have but you can't hear what they're singing...i guess i'm exaggerating..lol). In all, Jonker Walk is the only place where i find it interesting in Malacca and i can be there without complaining about anything(except the heat).But there are two other places that i've listed as my favorite that is Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade BECAUSE THEY'RE AIR-CONDITIONED!! GOD! MALACCA IS HAWT!! YOU CAN ACTUALLY FORGET ABOUT BRINGING YOUR SWEATER/JACKET!!
~Louis~
The reason I blogged this time is because that 'greenthang' told me 'Mun Hong, go and blog before you leave for Malacca'...
So, according to my birth certificate, my birthday is just 2 and a half hours away. I'm so busy packing for my trip tomorrow morning. OH YEAH!! I'm so happy!!! After 3 weeks of 'suffering', my classmates and I can finally escape from the exam mood, at least for now. Guys!! Don't forget SPM is just around the corner(refer to my countdown for remaining time). Okay!! GOT TO STOP NOW!! Still have tonnes of stuff to pack. Bye geeks..

Our beloved country, Malaysia, is the best example of this statement. With a population of 24.6 million comprising of diverse races with the majority in Malay, Chinese, Indian, Sikh and the various indigenous tribes, it is the most important key to Malaysia’s success. With various cultural backgrounds, values and upbringing, we have to strive especially hard to achieve the tolerance in order to bring about true unity. Only with true unity can we progress successfully in the areas of economic growth and international acceptance and most important of all, people living in successful lives.
After the recent general elections, we witnessed an unprecedented change in the political scenario. It used to be a single party dominance Government and sadly the difference in ideology in a multi-parties Government has brought about an even more drastic disunity even amongst the various races.
We see a fall in the standard of living, increase in the costs of living and uncertainty in the minds of the people for the future. How can we overcome such adversity if our people are not united? How can we expect the rest of the world to look up to us if we ourselves are not united in thoughts visions and deeds to be a successful and developed country?
Granted there are challenges that all countries face such as the increase in oil and commodities prices. I believe if we share the same aspiration and vision under a strong leadership, we can overcome most if not all the major challenges that our country faces.
To achieve this level of unity is not impossible but it will take a lot of sacrifices and humility on everyone’s part particularly the leaders, politicians, public servants and in fact every citizen down to the man on the street. Success will be there when we are united in our quest.
As Johann Friedrich Von Schiller once said ‘Even the weak becomes strong when they’re united.’ This saying suit perfectly with the statement as it urges the people to induce a picture of comity amongst the diverse community in our country.
Besides manifesting a united community among various ethnics, it is vital for us to anticipate any favorable development of racial issue. This is to avert any parties or individuals from getting offended as it could lead to certain undesired occurrence. In the worst case scenario, the repetition of the May 13th 1969 incident may occur.
The significance of persuading the citizen of our beloved country to establish minds that prioritize unity among them is inevitable. Be with unified minds, we can achieve successes that would otherwise be impossible. Therefore, it is time for each and every citizen of our beloved country to be united in our aspirations and action to secure a successful future that epitomizes the essence of unity is the pillar of success.
