Dong Zhi Festival


The 'Dong Zhi' (冬至) Festival or Winter Solstice Festival is celebrated on 22 December every year. It is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Chinese around the world during the Dong Zhi solar term when the sunshine is the weakest and the daylight is the shortest.

Tang Yuan is a Chinese food that is traditionally eaten during this Festival. It is made from glutinous rice flour. The flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and it is cooked in boiling water. Eating tang yuan with family signify unity and harmony within the family.

I had my tang yuan as breakfast this morning. My mum boiled the tang yuan in sweet soup made from palm sugar. Sweet and delicious. My mum told me that I am one year older and must be an obedient boy! Haha.

Anyway, wish everyone can have a happy reunion with his/her loved ones. Happy Dong Zhi Festival to ALL!

Friends

F is for faithful and never leaving doubt
R is for reaching and touching your heart
I is for invincible and that's how it should be
E is for endless and, a bond that will never leave
N is for needed, someone you can't live without
D is for dependable and alway's hears your call
S is for simple; it's not a complicated thing
H is for honesty and everything in between
I is for identity, they know you every fault
P is for precious, it's really special after all.

Friendship mean so much to me in my life. It doesn't matter whether you treat me well or bad, I learn a lot from all of you. I become a better, stronger and even a wiser person as I grow. God created different kinds of human beings in this world so that we can learn from each other and the ways on how to deal with them.

My dear friends, I really appreciate your existence in my life. I would like to share 10 friendship quotes with all of you:

A best friend is just like a four leaf clover, hard to find but lucky to have one.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the lyrics.

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you do not say.

Friendship is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it but only you can feel its warmth.

Friends are like stars, they come and go, but the ones that stay are the ones that glow.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

The greatest challenge in life is to find someone who knows all your flaws, differences, and mistakes, and yet still sees the best in you.

Friends are like a good bra, supportive, hard to find, and always close to your heart!

A best friend is the best painkiller. The ingredients are simple : sharing and caring.

A great friendship is a long conversation which always seems too short.




If you ever asked me whether we can be friends forever, I would say:

"Even longer" =)

One-day Trip to Malacca

Just reached home at 11pm. It was a weary day but I had a enjoyable trip.

The tour bus picked us up at the petrol station which is near our house. We started the day off with breakfast in Sri Petaling. The 'Kai Wo Pao' (Chicken Nest Bun) was the featured food in the area. After that, we were off to the first destination of the day - Nirvana Memorial Park.

The place was magnificent and the scenery there was simply breathtaking. There were some lands still under development though. If you plan to memorialise your loved ones, I will recommend you to get the product and service from Nirvana. The price is actually quite reasonable but it will be expected to rise in the future.

You can actually buy one 'slot' for yourself even when you are still alive. Well, you don't have to say something like 'touchwood' because death is unpredictable and it is a life process that everyone must go through. So make a choice of where you want to stay (after death) before it is too late. =P

After we had our lunch there, we departed for Malacca. We visited many places there such as Dutch Square, Jonker Street, Cheng Yun Tin Temple, Pearl Shoe Shop, San Shu Gong and etc. After dinner, we went for Malacca river cruise before heading back to Kuala Lumpur.

This place is located at the peak of the mountain

Call Me

I would like to introduce a song by Yuki Tsu (徐怀钰). Although it's a very old song, but the lyrics describe my feeling and I want to dedicate it to someone special. =)


外表上一點都看不出來
你的反應竟和我一樣快
好像對人都不理不睬 
其實你眼睛藏著熱情被我看穿
不能太隨便就答應出來 
意志力要你對我先坦白 
雖然我看著電話發呆
很抱歉有些小小矜持不能更改 
唉呀,不該讓你看見臉紅
這都怪空氣不流通 
別以為我的時間除了害羞沒事做 
停半分鐘在這最美的時候 
我要記住你的笑容 
我的心不會再和誰那麼靠近過

Call me, call me, come come give a call
全世界現在正連線熱烈討論著 
還會有誰比你更適合我,一想到就快樂
call me, call me, come come give a call
就是喜歡你的認真叫我好感動 
這樣下去別人會妒嫉我
快向愛神求救救熱戀的我

外表上一點都看不出來 
你的反應竟和我一樣快
好像對人都不理不睬 
其實你眼睛藏著熱情被我看穿
唉呀,不該告訴你我的夢 
一分析秘密都洩露
你別以為我的世界只有你讓我心動 
停住時間,在這最美的時候
我要記住每個動作 
我的心不會再和誰那麼靠近過

快求救熱戀中的我~

Suicidal


If you are keen in reading newspapers or an active Facebook user, I'm sure you have noticed about the suicidal of Alviss Kong, who has jumped off from the 14th floor of his house after he has posted his 'will' on the Facebook. This act has become a trend as there are few teenagers has started to follow the footstep of Alviss by counting down for their suicidal in the website.

Suicidal is a stupid act and thus I advise all of you do not ever suicide for anything. Don't even think about it. Besides love, there are other things that are more important in your life - family, friends, education and work. It's not easy for us to have come into this world. Always remember that our parents have suffered or worked so hard to raise us until what we are today.

There is always a price to pay for suicidal. Ending your life in this way does not mean you can end all the problems that you face in this world. Suicidal means one has not repaid the obligation of parents, teachers, country and society. Therefore, this act will lead one to hell and you will suffer the pain of repeating the suicidal twice a day, until the day that you actually die!

I'm not joking, but it's up to you whether you wanna believe it or not.

People out there, especially the Facebook users, you know that Facebook is one of the most influential websites in the world. Whatever you share or post will affect the behavior and thinking of others. Stop liking and sharing those pages or links that are related to suicidal. Pay your respect to the deceased and always remind yourself this thing must NOT happen on you!

To those who thought suicidal is a heroic act and wanted to declare the suicidal of Alviss Kong as public holiday, I really have no comment. It is a waste of time for me to think about what is inside your brains.

I really hope all these will end right away.

Taoism

Gosh. This blog is dying man.

I don't know why. I think I'm just lazy.

I have finished my A-level exams last week and I'm going Tunku Abdul Rahman University (UTAR) for January Intake while waiting for my result.

If the result is good, will try to apply scholarship to study in a better university. Conversely, if the result is unsatisfactory (most probably it is, LOL) I will just continue my studies in UTAR.


Recently, I believe in Taoism. In order words, it's known as 'seek the Tao' (求道). Just a few days ago, I attended the temple classes for three consecutive days and I'm motivated to practice doctrine (修道). I have started learning how to become a vegetarian.

It might be a shocking news for some of you, but I am seriously not indulging in Taoism. I know what am I doing. Please don't say something like, 'Are you brainwashed?' 'Did you just break up in a relationship?' ROFL.

I just want to live my life with better conscience. That's all. Somehow, I wished the people around me can 'seek the Tao' as well, some day.

Catherine Tate

I would like to share one of the funniest videos that I have watched, just in case you did not watch in on Facebook. I cannot stop laughing at Catherine's 'translation' even though I have watched a dozen times.


This is not my sandwich! LOL

Shut Down

I know most of you are familiar with the word 'shut down', since all of you are fortunate kids. When you think life is unfair, think about the kids in the third world countries who might not know what is a computer. Hunger is a never-ending suffering for them.

In short, just appreciate whatever you have LAH! =X

I'm getting so lazy nowadays. This blog is not updated frequently, even if I got nothing to do. Maybe I should just shut down my blog, shouldn't I?

I'm not a good writer and this blog does not have many visitors, I think. =/

Trials had just over. Nothing to be happy about because A2 examination is just three weeks away. I have to bulk up more if I want to score straight A star. Wow, what a impossible mission. XD

Well, I have 'shut down' my brain for another few days before I move on with my studies.

By the way, I know it is kind of late, but wish you all Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Have a happy reunion with your loved ones! =D

Mooncake Festival Celebration


Yesterday night went out to celebrate Mooncake Festival with my SS gang. At the same time, we prepare a surprised birthday celebration for All-Zhu and Chimpanzee (Audrey and Chin Hong). We had our dinner in Connaught before we went to Audrey's house for celebration.

It was a great night full of laughters and fun in the park. Playing with candles and lanterns brought me back to childhood's memories. We talked dirty jokes and did lots of crazy stuff, like putting a candle on the basketball rim and camwhore at the playground. We also made the 'SS' word using the candles and lighted all of them up.

Even though I kind of stress with my trials next week, but going out with these group of close friends help me relax so much. Thanks and love you all. =D

RAWRRRRR

Took FIVE hours just to finish ONE past year paper?

I actually screamed in bed right after I have done my Pure Mathematics paper, just like the title of this post. Sigh. This is the consequence of not doing tutorial workbooks and revision consistently.

Time is really limited and I still have not touched Economics and Physics. How good if there are 48 hours per day during the holidays. 12 hours for studies, 12 hours for outings, 12 hours for entertainment and 12 hours for sleep.

I guess I shall stop dreaming now.

Hellidays

Oh, the holidays are here! Well, holidays usually provide every student the escape path from the daily grind of classes and homework. However, it will be kinda different for the holidays this time.

I will call this a helliday instead of holiday.

A2 trials are coming right after the holiday. Lots of tough syllabus to catch up and grueling past year papers to handle. Fortunately, I have dropped the toughest subject in my combinations - Further Mathematics. If not I am gonna stress out and look like this kid. LOL


p/s : To Facebook and PP Stream, STOP SEDUCING ME PLEASE! =/

1 Malaysia?


In a blink of eye, tomorrow it is the 53th National Day of our country. '1Malaysia Transforming the Nation' will be the theme for the celebration this year. When this concept was first introduced by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, it created a big question mark on the people's head.

The slogan of this concept is "People First, Performance Now". Does it mean that Malaysia would like to achieve national unity and community development at the same time? It is not impossible but it has been 53 years of independence and yet we still have not fully achieved the national unity. What is the point of having magnificent skyscrapers and modern infrastructure built in our country if the people do not have the same mindset?

Until today I was still disturbed by the news - the principal who disallowed non-Malay students to have their meals in school during the fasting month, and sarcastically promoting Air Asia's air ticket so that the students could go back to their home countries. I do not think this is necessary because MALAYSIA is our home country! There was actually a fan page in Facebook to support the act of this principal. I got really upset by this when I saw all the races were fighting in the page. Don't you think fighting over racial issues is tiring? =/

Below is a very good article written by the great granddaughter of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Sharyn Lisa Shufiyan. A very well expressed opinion of how all Malaysians should be treated.

Sharyn Lisa Shufiyan, 24, Conservationist

Both my parents are Malay. My mum's heritage includes Chinese, Thai and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am often mistaken for a Chinese.

I'm happy that I don't have the typical Malay look but I do get annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up "Are you Chinese or Malay?"

Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer "Malay" but now I'm trying to consciously answer Malaysian instead.

There's this incident from primary school that I remember till today. Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day because I don't have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but now that I'm older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn't define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such thing as a Muslim name. You can be named Rashid or Ali and still be a Christian.

I've heard of the 1Malaysia concept, but I think we don't need to be told to be united. We've come such a long way that it should already be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately, you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group and their rights must be protected, and non Malays are forever the outsiders.

For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians'.

No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese friend of mine said to me once, "I don't feel patriotic because I am not made to feel like Malaysia is my home, and I don't feel an affinity to China because I have never lived there.

I know some baby Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. I'm a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am Bumiputra, why can't they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the term.

I think the main reason why we still can't achieve total unity is because of this 'Malay rights' concept. I'd rather 'Malay rights' be replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this Bumiputra status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never achieve unity.

For my merdeka wish, I'd like for Malaysians to have more voice, to be respected and heard. I wish that the government would uphold the true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are one and the same.

I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of Malaysia truly Asia. Malaysians to lead - whatever their ethnic background. Only ONE NATIONALITY MALAYSIAN. No Malays, No Chinese, No Indians - ONLY MALAYSIANS. Choose whatever religion one is comfortable with.

MERDEKA
MERDEKA

That is the end of her article. Tunku Abdul Rahman has the reason to be proud of her.

Anyway, Happy 53th National Day and enjoy your holiday peeps! =D

Anecdote

Some of you might be wondering what is anecdote. Actually I am not sure about it neither. According to Wikipedia, an anecdote is a short, free-standing tale narrating a curious and biographical incident, often related to a topic. I got a story to share but I do not know whether it can be considered an anecdote.

Have you ever experienced an incident which you believe it is impossible to occur but it actually happened? I did. I remembered the story happened when I was in secondary school. In fact, I will never forget it and the doubt is still in my mind until today.

I used to have a water bottle that looked something like this.

One day after a society's meeting in school, I left my water bottle in the society room and went off. On the way back home, I searched my bag over and over again, I even took out all the stuff from my bag to find my bottle. I could not find it and immediately I called my friend who was still staying back in the society room. I asked him to keep my bottle safe in society room and said I would take it back tomorrow. He FOUND my bottle and said OK.

I woke up early in the next morning, went downstairs and I saw the water bottle was ON THE DINING TABLE! I stared the bottle with my enlarged eyes and could not believe what I had seen. I felt a little creepy and asked my mum where she found it. She said she found my water bottle INSIDE MY BAG!

Too bad the song by Usher (ft Will.I.Am) did not release earlier, if not that time I would sing OH MY GOD! LOL.



It is really up to you whether you want to believe my story, or not. You might said that I am making nonsense story, or I was stupid that I did not search my bag properly, or a 'person' broke into my house and put the bottle back in my bag and etc. I mean it is really up to you. Haha.

My sharing ends here. Got to go for studies. Ciao.

AS Result.


12th August 2010 is the date that I will not forget in my life. There is something happy and there is something sad on the same day.

It was the date that I got my AS result, and I'm kinda disappointed with it. I got only one A, and the rest got B. There are lots of students in my class who got straight As but I am not one of them. So sad LAH!

Well, I know result is not everything and good result does not guarantee that you will be successful in your future. A2 exams are coming soon and I shall faint not, FIGHT on! Life has to move on no matter how sucks it is, right? =)

I do not plan to retake any subject as I want to focus more on A2 syllabus. There is still chance for me to pull up my grades if I can do really well in A2 papers.

Let us move on to the happy side. My class SN10R rocked the tug-of-war on that day! 10 guys (including me) and 10 girls from my class joined the game during the Sports Carnival. Amardeep Singh was the SECRET WEAPON for guys' team as he was the fittest person in our batch and Chai Li (from other class) replaced one of the girls who has fallen sick.

Guess what. The guys team got the CHAMPION and the girls team got the third place! We exploded in loud cries of joy and excitement. I love the sporting spirit of my class. We are so united and fun-loving. SN10R is the BEST class ever in my life! =D

Now let us see what they have said after the game. I got their messages from facebook. =P

Amardeep Singh : It was both a happy and sad day, I want to thank all SN10Rians for the words of encouragement. Congrats every1 for your results, its a real motivation for me. Not giving up on this thx to you guys. I still have 2 months and nothing is over...Love you guys :)

Calvin Boey : I love SN10R. So united, sporting, exciting, happening, awesome and lovable. Great to be part of this near-ideal class, the best class ever in my life. Felt so proud to be an SN10Rian , and to represent the voices of the class. Please keep it this way =)

Siaw Ling : SN10R.. Proud of all of u!! Congratz to all tug-of-war participants! ^^ p/s: Amardeep Singh : 'I cannot abandon my classmate!!' Cool~SN10Rockkss..hehe~

Cheng Li : wa.....so high a today!!!!!!! ^^ !!!!!!!! can't calm down myself nw !!!!!!!!! thanks to SN10Rians~~~love u all so much......ya~~~and Chaili Aries oso....love u so much~~^^

Jim Ng : Wahaha, SN10R rocks The Tug Of War Today. We Won The Champion and 2nd Runner Female. XD

Ting Ting : Tug Of War!!!! SN10R is awesome! especially guys, u all did a great job!!! [thumbs up !!] girls ,at least we get the 3rd !! yeah!

Chuan Huat : HOORAY~! SN10Rians ROCKS in Tug Of War! XD Boys won CHAMPION and Girls won the 1st runner up! Special THX to Amardeep Singh! Our key player in boys team! ^^ THX to Chaili Aries too~ She joined our girls team~ =D

Audrey Tey : I've said it many times, but I will say it again. I ♥ SN10R!!! =D for an anti-mud person like me, to be standin in mud in the rain for tug-of-war is should be frightening but i had tons of FUNNNNNNNNN~ damn high rite we all?


Well, we only have few more months to get along as we are going to graduate soon. Let us cherish the time we spent together and fight hard for our A2 exams! Good luck and all the best peeps! May all of you always success in your future endeavors. Love you guys. =D

These are the reasons why I cannot forget that day.

SPUS Sports Carnival 2010

School 0f Pre-University Studies (SPUS) Sports Carnival 2010 has already kicked off yesterday. I was very excited about it as this would be the biggest event that I had organised in my college life.

Badminton, volleyball, basketball, tug-of-war, football, chess, table-tennis and etc will be run in this carnival. All the Tarcians can check the schedules out at the notice board near the Yum Yum Park's corridor (Canteen One). If you would like to enjoy the sporting atmosphere, do come and join us peeps! =D

I sprained my right hand badly last Thursday and has not recovered yet. I have difficulties in writing and carrying stuffs. Hope my right hand can recover fully before the games that I have participated - tug-or-war and football. Well, I guess I do not really need hands to play football right? =P

Let us show the sportsmanship of SPUS students and prove to other people that we are not NERDS! LOL. Hope all is well that ends well.

Apology.


I have never expected that my 100th post will be writing about an apology to a group of my friends.

Well, in my precious two posts I have mentioned that I will definitely go for Melaka trip with my high school friends. I cannot make it in the last minute and I guess they got really disappointed.

Everything just come too sudden and lots of unforseen circumstances happen within a week. I really cannot arrange time and adjust my plans to go for the trip. Explanation is hard to make for my situation but all of you are my true friends, I guess you do not need it, right?

To SS GANG, I'm really sorry. Please trust me that I have tried very hard to make it and I am not that kind of person who 'fong fei kei' (stood up) simply. I will hang out with all of you some other time.

By the way, have a blast in Melaka peeps! =D

New Family Member.

Well, when you look at the title, it does not mean that my mum has just delivered a newborn baby.

Actually, my mum has just bought a new car - Perodua Myvi.

Glittering Sliver Perodua Myvi.

The side view of the car.

The front seats are quite spacious and comfortable.

The back seats can be adjusted to function as a van.

The car has other lots of cool functions such as seat height adjustment, Bluetooth handsfree feature, buttons for mirror adjustment and etc.

Perodua Myvi, welcome to the Wong's family and we promise to take good care of you. I can't wait to drive you soon. =P

By the way, the car plate number is 3978. Some of you might consider to buy the lottery. LOL

Rendezvous.

Just back from Genting with my high school friends. We did nothing much except going for a night walk, playing poker and teasing each other. Anyway, I would like to welcome Shaun aka The Sheep who has just come back from Russia. It has been quite some time since we last met.

This is the picture of Shaun in Moscow. I wish I could be there for travelling. So envy him LAH!

Looking forward to Malacca trip with them on next Friday. I got the permission from my mum so remember to count me in for the trip peeps! =P At first I did not promise them as I afraid that the trip will crash with my college test but it has already over since last week. Well, this might be the last trip before most of my high school friends are going overseas to further their studies and I definitely do not wanna miss it.

Adios. =D

After Pre-U.


After some time for consideration, I have decided to take Bachelor of Language and Linguistics (Japanese) in Universiti Malaya (UM) after my A-levels. Well, I would like to become a translator or language lecturer in the future. =)

Programme Overview

This programme is a major in Japanese. Upon graduation, candidates will be conferred with Bachelor of Language and Linguistics degree.

As the world's second most powerful economy and one of the world's most technologically advanced societies, Japan is an important market to explore in trade and technology transfer. However, Japan has enjoyed a cultural boom in recent decades thanks mostly to the global acceptance and appreciation of its rich cultural heritage and art forms.

The Japanese language, with all its delicate intricacies remains a difficult language to fully master, spoken or written. The Bachelor of Language and Linguistics (Japanese) programme takes students on a 3-year journey through this rich and subtle language.

Course Modules

Core Subjects
Ethnic Relationships
Islamic Civilization and Asian Civilization (TITAS) (Paper I)
Islamic Civilization and Asian Civilization (TITAS) (Paper II)
Information Skills
Thinking and Communication Skills
Introductory Linguistics
Introductory Semiotics
Academic Writing

Language Morphology
Language Syntax
Language and Civilization I and II

By the way, I really hate HISTORY! Hope there will not be so much of history studies if I have the chance to take this course in UM. I have to sign up for Malaysian University English Test (MUET) in January next year as it is one of the requirements to enter the local university.

Wish me luck peeps! =D

FIFA World Cup Final.


VS


The final game between Netherlands and Spain will be held on 12th July 2010, 2.30am (Malaysia)in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am looking forward to watching it but I am having test on that day! How could the lecturer treat us like that? T.T

By the way, if you have been noticing the news about FIFA, I am sure you know about Paul the Octopus which is looked after in a tank at Sea Life Oberhausen, an sea life centre in Germany. He has guessed all the Germany's games correctly during the World Cup 2010. Following the rise in his fame, he was asked to predict the result of the final match too.



He predicted Spain will be crowned the World Cup Champions! However, 78% people of the world does not believe in the octopus. They thought Netherlands is going to win as they are stronger, undefeated and did not lose even a single round. Well, we will wait and see. Hope the prediction will not cause the Spaniards to be over-confident and affect the performance of Dutch in the final.

It is the first time that Paul made a prediction which is not related to Germany matches. We will find out whether he is right again next Monday morning. As regarding Germany's last game against Uruguay, Paul predicted Germany will get a bronze! Let us check it out tonight! =D

A Big Day.


Today is a big day for the blog owner. =D

In 19 years ago of today, the blog owner was born safely from his mum's womb.

Coincidently, he met a primary school friend yesterday who had the same birthday with him while he was having buffet dinner with his family.

As for today, he was the emcee for School of Pre-University Studies Award Day 2010 and the committees and lecturers sang a birthday song for him!

Thanks to all his friends who have 'flooded' his inbox and facebook's wall, friends who wished him when saw him at the college, and classmates who celebrate with him with a birthday cake! =D

He had a GREAT blast today!

Love you all! =D

FIFA Fever.


Oh my, this is only the third post of the month?

I am getting busier and busier in the third semester but at the same time, I am getting lazier and lazier.

Busy as in there are lots of A2 syllabus to catch up and more society work to handle. *Sigh*

Lazy as in updating my blog less frequently and do not copy notes during lectures. When I have free time, I would rather play basketball, facebooking and watch football matches.

Come on, it is FIFA fever!

Although I am not really into football, I will still spend some time to watch the matches as FIFA is held once in four years. Everyone around me is talking about FIFA, how can I not join the crowd? Those who are not interested at all, at least they will say, what is so nice to see two groups of men chasing a ball up and down?

To all ardent fans of the beautiful game, here are some advices for you to survive the World Cup with minimal damage to your health:

1. Sleep well the night before a match.
2. Do light exercise while watching the World Cup.
3. Do not take too much high-calorie snacks and drinks.
4. Do not shout too loud when there is a GOAL or major upset!
5. Do not simply color your body parts or put on tattoos!
6. Do not watch games in public if you are sick.
7. Mind your heart! Do not get too excited and anxious.

I personally support Argentina, Japan, Brazil and South Korea! Hope these four teams will enter top 4. What about you? =D

Back from Langkawi.


Hey folks, I have just come back from Langkawi. What an awesome trip with my fellow classmates. We have been drinking these few days and enjoyed wide variety of cuisine in Langkawi. For drinks, we tried out the Carlsberg and Skol beer, Absolut vodka, Famous Grouse whiskey, Barcadi rum and etc. As for food, we tried out different kinds of vegetables, omelettes, prawns, chickens, fishes, squids and crabs. Above all, we shopped until we dropped for chocolates and alcoholic beverages! Well, I did bought some duty-free chocolates but not the alcoholic beverages. I was kinda broke that time and this will encourage myself to drink more if I buy them. Not good, not good. =P

After the last AS paper on 9th June, we went back to our homes respectively to pack our luggage. All of us met at the KLIA at 6.30p.m. and checked-in at the counter. Thanks to Jun Da's mum who have sent some of the guys including me to the airport. When we were about to board the airplane, there was an announcement that the boarding gate of ours has changed! All of us were rushing from one end to the another before we got on the right plane. Our flight reached Langkawi at around 9p.m. First, we went to the gas station to 'feed' our rented cars with petrol before going to our resorts. Upon reaching the Malibest resorts, we got the keys for our rooms and we put our luggage inside. We had our first dinner in Langkawi and called it a day.

The next day, we drove to Kuah Town and did some shopping there. We went to Eagle Square before heading back to our resort area for lunch. After that, we drove to the Underwater World, which was just a throwing stone distance from our resort. In there, we saw not just only the marine creature but land creature as well. We even saw penguins, fur seals and anaconda! It was really an eye-opening experience as we got to see lots of interesting creature that we had not seen in our lifetime. At night, we had our dinner in a restaurant near our resorts and we drank some vodka before we went to sleep.

On the third day, we drove to Oriental Village and took the cable car there to the Sky-bridge, which is suspended at 700 metres above the sea level. This unique curved pedestrian bridge spans 125 metres across the spectacular chasm. The view from the bridge was simply breathtaking. We were able to view the Andaman Sea and Thailand's Tarutao Island from there. We had our lunch and we walked around the village before moving to our next destination. Unfortunately, two of our rented cars broke down and we waited about an hour for the 'rescue team' to come. After the car batteries are charged, we were on our way to one of the waterfalls in Langkawi. The sound of the waterfall was calming and we felt great to swim in cold water! At night, we had our dinner in a Malay restaurant and we ordered some 'ikan bakar'. We drank whiskey and played MAFIA in our rooms before we called it a day.

On the next morning, we drove to the airport and someone was waiting for us there. He leaded us to a place where we had our mangrove tour. During the tour, we enjoyed the views of green mangrove forest with the flora and fauna living within it such as 'Bogak' trees, macaques and brown eagles. We also visited the Bat Cave and Fish Farm where you could interact with the marine creature - touch them. Devil rays and horseshoes crabs were available for touching and we played with the Archer fish as well. Stick a small piece of bread on one of your fingers, the fish would try to shoot the bread down from your finger or they will jump out of the water and bite your finger directly! After the tour, everyone was tired and the majority decided not to move on with the next destination - the hot spring. We went to the beach near our resorts instead. We swam in the salty sea, took the photographs of sunset, did some sand drawings and buried somebody in the sand! We had our last dinner in Langkawi and finished off our alcoholic drinks.

On the last day in Langkawi, we went to Kuah Town again to do some shopping. This time, we bought the shirts, chocolates and alcoholic drinks as much as we wanted. After that, we went to the airport and waited for our flight at 7.45p.m. Everyone was in heavy-hearted mood as we were so going to miss the trip. All of us returned home with a bumper harvest and looking forward to the next trip after A2 exams!

Photos will be uploaded soon by my classmates. Stay tuned for my Facebook! =D

Third Day of NAC 2010.

Today was the last day of NAC 2010 and it was the BEST part of the event. Some audiences from the crowd, including a friend of mine, were able to make REAL money today. Well, they did not really make it themselves but it was more of getting free cash.

Shaun Stenning was the first speaker of the day. He was the youngest (25 years old)among the speakers and everyone loved him! Shaun had vast years experience as an Internet Marketer and he had built, sold and consulted to a stack of multi-million dollar Internet business. During his speech, he gave few 100 US Dollars to the lucky audiences, who rushed to the stage and grabbed from him. He even threw his shining blue vest, tie and belt to them! After that, he told us to always have fun, to participate, to seize the opportunities and above all, to take action.

Right after Shaun, Jason Tyne was next. He was the Founder and CEO of SalesPartners Atlanta, and is a successful entrepreneur, sales trainer and motivational speaker. "Master the Mindset of a Champion - Explode Your Results" was the title of his talk and "We Make Entrepreneurs Rich" was his business motto. In his speech, he told us how to achieve peak performace in business, sales, relationships and etc, to maximise the business potential and experience unparalleled growth.

After the break, Tom Hua was the speaker. He was one of the true pioneers in the Internet marketing industry and operating his amazing global Internet business from Melbourne plus a massive software company in China. He talked about the new generation of e-business in-a-box. He shared the PRIMO system, which stands for Passive Residual Income Machine Online. It means to run a successful Internet marketing business almost effortlessly, automatically, to support your family, for many years to come, with the power of the Internet.

Andrew Baxter was the fourth speaker of the day. He has more than 16 years of professional investment market experience, six of which was obtained on the London Stock Exchange, with two of the UK's leading investment houses, covering local and international markets. "Real Life, Real Time Trading Strategies that Work" was the topic of his talk. Andrew told us his approach to the market is based on a blend of technical and fundamental analysis and embraces a true all seasons investing style.

Robert G. Allen went up to the stage once again for bonus session. We thought that he was going to repeat what he had said earlier, we went out and enjoyed window-shopping in the Sunway Pyramid. =P Not long after, we went to Wendy's and started to chit-chat.

Shaun Stenning was the last speaker of the day. I'm not trying to confuse you but yes, he was the first and last speaker of the day. This time, Shaun was giving 100 US dollars again and one of my friends got it. Cheers! Also, Shaun had helped one of the NAC participants to make $1000 dollar in just few hours today. The guy was so DAMN DAMN DAMN lucky because he did nothing much to earn it, just giving his details for registration on a website. After that, Shaun emphasised that making money online is EASY.

That was the end of NAC 2010. Even though I get bored and sleepy sometimes during the talks, but I have got some motivations and learnt so much from NAC 2010. Thanks to the college who have given me the golden opportunity to meet the world class speakers and obtain world class knowledge from them.

Second Day of NAC 2010.

Today was an exciting day as I got to take personal photos with some of the world class speakers such as Robert G. Allen, Christopher Howard, Spike Humer, Andrew Baxter, Jordan Belfort and John P. Coutis. I also felt surprise when I bumped into Puan Nirmala, a retired counsellor from my high school and she is currently working in the top management of Segi College. Above all, the arrival of Tony Blair had created the greatest enthuasiasm of all the participants in NAC 2010.


The first speaker of the day was Loral Langemeier. She was the only female among all the motivational speakers and the title of her talk was "Put More Cash In Your Pocket". Loral is one of today's most dynamic and pioneering financial strategists. In her speech, she talked to us about the profit profile and skills to build wealth. She encouraged us to always SAY YES & FIGURE OUT HOW.


One of the most respected and admired world leaders was the second speaker of the day. You know who am I talking about - Tony Blair! During his ten years as Prime Minister (1997-2007), he transformed Britain's public services through a program of investment and reform schools and hospitals, resulting in more people achieving better education and receiving faster access to health care. In his speech, he talked about his experience in politics and emphasized that justice is the key to world peace and unity. His speech was really enlightening and we dropped our jaws when Tony told us that he used to organise a pop band.


Christopher Howard was the speaker after the lunchbreak. Internationally acclaimed lifestyle and wealth strategist, Chris is a prominent speaker and the owner of Christopher Howard Training. He has researched the success strategies of the world's greatest business, philanthropic and spiritual mind. In his speech, he told us the fast track to success and the way to engineer an ideal lifestyle. I thought he was the most spirited speaker of the day as he had maintained his energetic voice for three hours straight.


After Chris, Ewen Chia was next. He was the first speaker from Asia and known as the 'Wonder Boy of the Internet Business'. Fresh from the ground-breaking success of his brand new book “How I Made My First Million On The Internet And How You Can Too!”, Ewen also unleashed an all-new arsenal of ideas, techniques and tips he was using to maintain his position as the World’s #1 Super Affiliate. He talked to us about the advantages of Internet business, affiliate marketing and the steps to make money online. I found that these topics were the coolest for today.


The last speaker of the day was John P. Coutis. He was born with a severe disability that rendered his legs useless but he was definitely an exceptional person. He defied medical opinion by refusing to die, and today he speaks all around the world to tens of thousands, motivates everyone that nothing is impossible. "If I Can, You Can" was the title of his inspiring talk. He told us the Golden Rule in Life is to treat people the way you want to be treated. "Your life is priceless, therefore don't waste it". He said that no matter how your life is going to be, you must learn how to stand up to face the hardships and make the most out of your life.
