机会，还是有的…

等了一个月一个星期，名单还是迟迟没有出炉，我就打电话到教育部查问。结果…

我：Selamat pagi. Saya ingin tanya, bilakah keputusan temu duga Program PPC akan keluar?

接线员：Calon PPC? Okey. Calon yang berjaya akan dimaklumkan melalui telefon. Calon yang tidak dimaklumkan bermakna tidak berjaya.

我：Kalau macam tu, saya boleh buat rayuan tak?

接线员：Tiada rayuan untuk calon PPC.

开始时是有一点失望。其实，我早就预料到自己应该是没有获得该奖学金。竞争那么大，大约有七千多个人申请，但只有一百五十名额。机会渺小，我欣然接受…但我不会因此而放弃当教师的梦想。我相信以后还是会有无限的机会等着我去争取的。

ＳＴＰＭ，我来了！

FRIENDS

Memories can neither be replayed nor replaced
They are left to be recalled
They cannot be expressed in words
All happens in a twinkling of an eye
Some parts may not be recovered
but they will stay deeply in our heart
Memories never shattered
because we always retain and maintain the shape
Puzzle can be solved
if we have determination
Be patient and do not give up easily
Treasure our precious friendship
and cherish the memories of togetherness
because they are not gained easily
Friendship is never ending story
It is unpredicted that we will meet again
We should be grateful
that we become friends
not by coincidence

Be grateful with what you have now.
Don't wait until you lost it,
then only you know its value.

离

椰树下
黄昏的风
吹来一股思绪
我陶醉其中

光阴似箭
四季变迁
枫叶掉落
樱花纷飞

不亦乐乎的我们
还是要说再见了
虽然有些舍不得
但我们不能自私

有梦就去追吧
好好把握机会
免得留下遗憾

朋友，有缘再见！

悄悄的我走了，正如我悄悄的来，
我挥一挥衣袖，不带走一片云彩。

烧烤会 ～当我们同在一起～

再过几天，大家就很少有机会常见面了。凯胜就想出一个好主意，举办最后一次的聚会。虽然会遇到人手不足和超出预算，可是这些问题都难不倒我们。烧烤用具由恒兵和诚秋提供；食物则是凯胜和家顺准备。不过大部分都是凯胜打点一切，包括计算开支和购买材料。

前奏…

点燃火碳是烧烤会最麻烦的步骤，再加上没有火水。起初，有四个人在帮忙。剩的不是在厨房，就是在外面闲聊。我们用报纸点燃火碳，很快的报纸就被烧完了，只有火碳还没有点着的现象。献进的妈妈就建议我们开风扇，加强火力。诚秋和我在旁边狂扇报纸。过了半小时多后，火碳终于点燃了！真的是破诚秋十五分钟的“记录”。

点火碳，烧报纸…

火花狂喷…

我们的晚餐

晚餐就很丰富了。有米粉、鸡肉块、薯条、用来烧烤的腌制鸡翼和鸡肉、香肠，还有橙汁、西瓜和志华买的两瓶香槟。

耐心…

香喷喷…

饭后…

有的在外面乘凉、闲聊。最无聊的是，不知道是谁讲要去兜风，四个人挤进恒兵的车，然后很没有方向和目的的在周围绕几圈。

开香槟仪式…

饮胜…

很无聊的我们…

今天不回家

有八个人留在献进家一晚。当我们在房间谈天说地到一半时，怎样知道，突然停电！这下子好了，全部人不用睡觉。我们就到外面的空地继续谈。就这样，三点多才恢复电源。

缺点，算什么？

不是每个人出生以来就很完美。每个人都会有至少一个缺点，甚至是多样缺点。

但我们也不能因为他们的缺点而瞧不起他们、疏远他们。尝试接受他人的缺点，等于尊重他们，也尊重自己。想要改掉缺点，需要时间的磨练和意志的坚定。要记住，有缺点并不是什么可耻的事。

比方说，有一个人，虽然他好胜心强，有时很讨人厌，但我们还是容忍他、妥协他。我们知道，要他在短时间里面改过这个缺点有点困难，但是我们也不能因此而为难他、排挤他。也许这是他的个人风格，我们也无权干涉。

朋友，你有什么大家都知道，却又不敢承认的缺点呢？

星座当中的个性

前天，我在《少年月刊》读到这个星座占卜：




当十二星座遇上电脑坏了




我觉得这个占卜很有趣，所以就列了一些出来…


双鱼座：马上致电给电脑公司，泪眼汪汪地问道：“电脑坏了会不会爆炸？爆炸的话我该怎么办？”

有一点小题大作，很像凯胜…(歹势~)

白羊座：二话不说开始锤打电脑，就跟电视坏了打电视一样。

不耐烦时就会酱…

双子座：第一时间就是打电话，问了这个问那个，至于有没有结果不重要，反正电话费是暴涨了！

无聊就问东问西的伟邦…

天秤座：打给电脑公司呢，还是打给我认识的电脑修理师呢？干脆打给那个会修电脑的同学吧……

子敬有时很喜欢拿他的问题来烦人家，就是要人家也跟他一起烦。

天蝎座：致电给会修电脑的朋友，然后神秘地说：“请你来我家一趟，有很特殊的事找你帮忙。”

献进有时就叫凯胜打点活动之类的东西…

April 22nd

Today I had four "missions" to accomplish. I woke up earlier than usual, about 7.30 a.m. Luckily today's weather was not so hot as the sun was partially hidden by clouds.

First, I went to mini market in my neighbourhood to photocopy my identification card and SPM result slip. I photocopied four each to store for later use. After that, I proceeded with taking bus to Pekan Rabu. Yeah, I waited for only one minute, the bus came already. I didn't have to wait for couple of minutes as usual. Sometimes it was longer than waiting Wil Bond's car. At 9, the bus arrived at Pekan Rabu, I continued walking to my school. It was hot as the clouds had gone and the sun made its appearance. It made me to sweat profusely.

Once I stepped into the main gate of school, I could feel my heart was pounding. As I walked past the class of 5 Gamma, Chee Sian and Victor greeted me. Even I bowed my head low they still saw me. I went upstairs to the office directly. In the office, I only saw En. Asri in his room, another two PKs were not there. But before that, I had to wait ten more minutes to let him finished his conversation with the parents of a student. Between that, Pn. Maznah walked in. She asked why I had been here. I explained to her that I wanted to make appealing for matriculation. There was another pair of visitors wanted to go in. The man asked me: "Sekejap atau lama?" "Sekejap", I replied. "Kamu masuk dulu, kami mungkin lama sikit." I thanked him and nodded in reply. Then, I went into the room and greeted En. Asri good morning. I asked for his permission to help me certifying my photocopied documents. He asked me what were these documents for. I explained I wanted to use for making appealing for matriculation. He also wanted to know who else got the offer but I was not sure about it. When En. Asri had signed all, I thanked him.

Then, I walked from school to MCA office. The office was just opposite to Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN), my father told me a day before. As I opened the door, there were four ladies inside the office. One of the secretaries asked me to wait for another secretary. Later on, she asked me to submit the form, together with the identification card and result slip copies. I also submitted one copy of appealing letter though it was not necessary. She said never mind. She would be sending all the documents and she asked me to read newspaper for the result. I thanked her.

After that, I went to post office. On my way to post office, I walked past a beggar. Suddenly, he "hoi" me. I was startled. Looked like he wanted me to give him some money. I felt helpless at that time. So, unwillingly I grabbed some coins from pocket to him. He "hmm" like showing his satisfaction. Oh my God! He got hands and legs, why didn't he get a proper job? In the post office, I wanted to send my appealing letter to Education Minister through Pos Laju. But the clerk said: "Rugilah macam tu, kami untung", because I had affixed stamps already. So I had to pay extra one ringgit plus RM 5.70 delivery charge. After all tasks had settled, I went home.

Today is EARTH DAY. Have you done anything to preserve and conserve our nature?

Daybreak

Inspired from the rhythm of rock-based song

Are you ready?

To face the new challenges today

There's no need to fear

Be confident of yourself

LET'S FIRE YOUR SPIRIT!

Abundance of GLORY

is waiting for us ahead

No hesitation anymore

Because our future

is in our hands

Just step ahead

No turning back

Being determined to succeed

STAY GOLD!

is IE 8 good enough?

Turn off IE 8? Nah

Internet Explorer 8 is a web browser by Microsoft and it is the successor to IE 7. Now IE 8 is available in beta preview version for downloading into computer for testing purpose. This browser is recommended to web developers and experts only. It is not intended to be a fully functional product for web surfers yet.

IE 8 has been improved to meet users' need with new features such as Accelerators, Web Slices, InPrivate Browsing, Search Suggestions and etc. Accelerators are contextual services that allow easy access to Internet services from any web page. Web Slices is a new feature for web sites to connect to their users by subscribing to the content directly within a web page. Developers can mark parts of the pages as Web Slices. It works nearly like a RSS web feed.

Despite the major improvements have been made to IE 8, some of the "newly" added features have already introduced in other web browsers such as the competitor, Mozilla Firefox and the newly released browser, Google Chrome. One of the feature in IE 8 such as InPrivate Browsing is available in Chrome as Incognito Browsing. While the others include Search Suggestions and Automatic Crash Recovery.

IE 7 has made its major update in the aspects of feature and interface. The features that are introduced by IE 7 including Tabbed Browsing and Delete Browsing History. These features might not bring surprise to most of the web surfers as they are already available in Firefox. So, could IE 7 satisfies most of the users and and regain its glory? Maybe IE 8 can realise them.

The future operating system, Windows 7, which is believed to be announced in 2010, have a feature that can disable IE 8, but it cannot be removed from Windows 7. Once disabled, it is no longer available for use, which means that no data will be loaded by the operating system.

The question is, will I disable IE 8 if I am using Windows 7? I am not going to turn it off because some of the websites work best with IE. So, it is annoying to enable it back for this purpose. On Windows XP, I use Chrome and Firefox, depending on my mood. I rarely use IE 7 because it loads the slowest and most vulnerable to online threats, compared to Chrome and Firefox.

Why we have to disable it? Just set our desired browser as default. So, it will not pop up every time we want to open a website when we click on the link in other application.

HUMMING...

I'm walking alone

on my way home

Sometimes it can be hot

cloudy or raining

But these will never weaken my spirit

The distance's getting nearer

than I thought at first

My steps become faster

I want to get into the warmth of my blanket

embrace it and have a sweet dream

So I keep thinking of the good things

that might happen to me

and the people around me

because they distract me from thinking of

the tiredness when walking alone

There are many things to see

while on the way home

Some brighten up my feeling if they are nice

some are irritating me

when there are unavoidable nuisance

The nature is warming up

Things are awaken by the call

becoming active again

While I am accompanied by the blue sky

my spirit is soaring even higher and getting thrilled

The splendid view along the walk will stay always

the nuisance will vanish from this world

Then the world will be more vivid and colorful

人生不能重来过

人生不能重来过

人一直在选择

一旦选择错误

就会留下遗憾

人生没有第二次

人要谨慎做选择

有的路
虽遍地荆棘
但前方未知的挑战
可以磨炼你的斗志

一旦选了就走
不要满口怨言

往者不可谏
后者犹可追

心声

给我身边的人与擦肩而过的…

“为何又学人？

难道你就不能有主见吗？”

尝试把眼光放远一点

不要蒙蔽自己的想法

想法也不要过于肤浅

不要再犹豫不决了

世界是很现实的

更何况是人

一样不接受迟疑的人

现实往往行动比人快

也常把人们来回愚弄

但背后总隐藏着真实

三月二日 阴

寒风阵阵

月色模糊

遥望远方的天边

黑夜里带粉紫色

无奈夜色短暂

等待天刚破晓

海·市·蜃·楼

海

无边无际

你又在何处？

市

这个城市

人潮

汹涌

茫茫人海中

你

下落不明

蜃

只有你的幻觉

渴望沙漠里的

绿洲

楼

虽高耸入云

但遥不可及

二月二十一 雨

游乐场顿时传来尖叫声

每个人都落荒而逃

已经两个多月没有下雨了

很喜欢下雨的感觉

寒风吹拂我的脸颊

觉得很清爽

特别有精神

愿这场豪雨可以将

人世间的哀愁

都冲洗掉

在天边划出一道幸福的彩虹

风雨又要来袭了…

Happy Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day...

Do you celebrate with your loved one?

Or you are far away from her?

Romantic interlude

or lonely night?

What is your Valentine's special gift?

Roses?

Chocolates?

Or Teddy bear...

But,

no doubt how much you give her,

ultimately love decides all.

If you love her,

please say it aloud.

Respect her,

protect her,

care for her...

Happy Valentine's Day

70th: RULE

What is the reason for us to obey rules?

For not being betrayal?

Sometimes we may break the ridiculous rules,

for right purposes...

Are we called dignity for following the rules?

In turn, you lose your original purpose.

And you will have to give up.

Rule is not flexible...

But we can make it to be flexible.

When it's lack of something,

we can use alternatives.

We are now going beyond rules.

We are peculiar.

Give yourself a chance to change,

decide by yourself.

Life has no standardized rule.

We have our own styles.

Life imitates an infinite sheet of paper.

It has no limitation...

We will not leave it to be plain.

At least we have outstanding outcomes,

we will paint it with strategies.

This time, we don't want merely monochrome.

It resembles dullness and sorrow.

We don't want these to spoil the remaining spaces.

Life's just like a game.

If you have no special game,

you will be eliminated.

If you follow rule-by-rule without game,

you'll bring to game over.

If you ignore the rules,

get yourself too confident,

"V" will not be with you.

Dramatic? Oh...

Endless

Spacious but endless.

Darkness is approaching...

No one is on the road,

but we're on our way...

Though the walk is exhausting,

we want to get home

before it is completely dark.

Connected

Look! Even the distance is much further than we thought, they're still connected!

How about us?

No doubt we're far away from one another, we're still keeping in touch.

Let our friendship worth more than that!

《春芽华化》新春营

感人至深的一幕

因为时间仓促的关系，虽然这短短四天三夜的新春营已经过去了，但它还是不时地在我脑海里重播着。在最后一天离营之前，我们都很舍不得大家，尤其是我们大家聚集在一起玩乐的时光。但是，难分难舍，总有一舍，是时候和大家说再见了。我们围成一个大圆圈，手牵着手，高唱营歌。营员和筹委们互相握手、来一个拥抱。我看见有些筹委、营员，眼红红、泪汪汪地。我唱着《分享》副歌部分时，越唱越起劲，同时看到大家都这样，终于也忍不住飙泪了…当时，我真的抑制不住要和大家分开的悲痛，眼泪在眼眶里、脸颊上湿润。前一个晚上，一部分的筹委在自责，他们说因为时间仓促、准备不足，无法给全部营员玩到一些游戏。说着说着，他们流泪了…有些营员也跟着眼红红了。原本还以为这次的生活营很难熬，原来到最后才真的是很舍不得和大家在一起的美好时刻。这次的新春营让我见识到不少东西，也让我体会到筹委们的一番用心。如果还有机会的话，我还要参加生活营！

…与你分享的快乐

胜过独自拥有

至今我仍深深感动

好友如同一扇窗

能让视野不同

与你分享的快乐

胜过独自拥有

至今我仍深深感动

好友如同一扇门

让世界开阔…

NO WAR PLEASE! II

From Israel's offensive against Gaza

Why can't Israeli PM live in peace?
Why are Israeli soldiers act cruelly?
Why are they so selfish?

Palestinians are innocent.
Don't make them to suffer anymore.

Please end all the aggressive military assault against Palestinians and Gaza!

WE WANT PEACE!
NO WAR PLEASE!

Suddenly all happiness have gone.
All serene faces turn into agitation.

Stop being ignorant
'cause this is an addiction!

H.N.Y. 2009!
