Sad...

Just now my friend called me and told me that his grandmother passed away.
For a moment, I did not know what to say to him... It is true that everyone will die one day regardless by sickness, accident, or simply because of old age. But it is inevitable that when faced with death of someone close, we will feel despair as if our heart is punctured with a spear of sadness...

When I got the call from him, I have a hunch that it is bound to be something to do with his grandmother. It was just 3 days ago when he told me about his grandmother's condition that keep revolving from critical to stable and back to critical then so on... From his expression, I know that he is worried sick of her. That was during Test 3. Can't imagine how much pressure he's dealing with...

He reminded me of my own grandmother.
I was just 1 year old when she pass away. I can't really feel anything back then since I'm just 1, all I do is eat, sleep, past motion, pee, bath, cry whenever I want...

From what i heard from my mother, grandma was a great person.
She had a nice personality, handles her children efficiently and fairly, household chores are within her profession and her affection was overwhelming... I wished that I could have spend much more time with her and know her better. When I was I kid, I used to think that she's around me. Its creepy but true. After all, she passed away right after feeding me and my cousin. She just fall to the ground and was gone...

I think my grandma was not in much pain when she pass away though.
In other words, she passed away peacefully. No grudge, no fear, no disappointment, no tears and nothing to regret. But for my friend's grandmother, I think she had enough of the pain in her. Perhaps, it might have been a solution for her. She must have been very sad to be a burden to her family.

However, I do feel the sadness that resides in my friend.
I have not feel such grieve yet in my life. It must be very hard for him. Even so, he most probably can overcome the emotional breakdown soon. I didn't know how to cheer him up. But at least I share my condolence and help him handle his test papers for the time being...

Test 3 T____T

This is the reason for my absence the past 2 weeks...

Test 3 T___T

Its a really sad case for all the scholars because it determines whether or not we would be able to retain our scholarship. And Mr. David Loh's comment was this: 65% of you... Will fail!!!
LMAO!!! Its really true though it wasn't Chemistry that is the killer... Physics was much harder!!!

Chemistry consists of many questions but most of them are the easier ones but Physics is like "what the heck???"... The time for the paper was 1 and a half hour and I was just done with the first 30 objective questions when there is 30 minutes left!!! Then there were 5 subjective questions which I've done only half of them... Thank you Mr. Soh Beng Seng a.k.a. Soh Beh Song for setting such high standard test paper... =____=

Hope I'll pass all my papers and get average 60marks... I don't want my dad to pay for my studies lar... 6k weih!!! Better take that money and start business... >.<#!!!

HOSTEL Here I Come!!!

I'm finally going to stay in the hostel!
But not until the next semester which is next year... Going to check-in on 22nd Dec with Tze Jian. Hopefully there is an empty room for the two of us... I gonna be a study freak if I am going to stay with him in the same room-something that I really need to do next semester...
Sounds like utilising T.J. Haha... *evil grin*

But there are so many of my friends staying in the hostel.
Kev, Peng Keat, Larry and Toi(Aaron Tyo) coming too... Its gonna be fun, I gonna save so much on transportation, can play bsb anytime I want and I don't need to wake up at the crack of dawn anymore! x) Can't wait to get in to the hostel life!

A Very EXPENSIVE Lesson

Two days ago, my dad's car was stolen during the midnight.
The car was parked at the front of the house weih!
It is a brownish-grey Hilux and luckily, its his company car...

The thieves nowadays are really everywhere!
They are so skillful that the alarms didn't sound a little bit. And the so called "steering lock" gives way easily. Probably WaKie(my dog a.k.a. the living alarm) would have barked but nobody noticed cause it was raining heavily that night... They were lucky that I wasn't at home... If I were at home, I would have noticed them as I wouldn't sleep till 3a.m. They must have been stalking my family for a long time before stealing the car...

Even Kuantan is so dangerous nowadays...
I wonder what those good-for-nothing policemen do... Probably chilling out at Big Apple with donuts and coffee or busy having highway duties to get more "summonses" that eventually goes into their pockets I guess... I still remember when the chief inspector was living beside my house, these policemen used to patrol around my housing area every night! But after he left for a higher position in Terengganu, these same policemen disappeared without a trace! Pathetic bunch!

The thing is, mum told me that there were several cases around Kuantan.
Snatch thieves, burglars and automobile thieves. There was a lady who lost 30k after she withdrew the money from the bank to snatch thieves... Then my Indian neighbour's house was broken in by some burglars when he was on a trip... Another house around my area where a few Malay guys live in had one of their motorcycle stolen... On the same day my dad lost his car, there were another Malay guy who lost his Hilux too! His case were far more worst! His car was parked at the garage of the house where his gates had an alarm system. Somehow the thieves manage to put off the alarm... Damn, what Kuantan have became? City of crime??? Freaking dangerous!!! My family got a really expensive lesson this time...

AND1 25-10-2009

I'm finally back to blogging after two weeks!
Well, I had an important exam...
So, don't blame me, blame the ones who set the exam date...

Okay...

This post should have been posted like 13 days ago...
But I was busy studying mar~
Good student what to do? x)

Back to the main story(tengah SS already)...

It was on 25th October 2009,
I went for the AND1 3-3 Street Ball Challenge with two of my friends.
Kevin Lee and Kenny Lim... Both of them are in SPUS... Kev and I were there since 8a.m. Kev didn't even sleep the night before while I slept for 3 hours only. By the time we reach there, it was already crowded with many people!

It was really fun to be in such large scale competition.
Especially when there's so many foreigners... But they made me feel so short... >.<
There were this slamming performance from an American, an Aussie shooter and 3 local free-stylists... They are real cool except the American guy... He's thin and tall but can't really jump high... He got was blasted by a few Negros... Most of them can slam better them him...

The outcome of the competition was better than what I've expected!
The original plan was join the competition, go play for fun, lose the first match, get the jerseys and the ball then ciao... We waited for more than 3 hours before our match starts because the Under 14 was to start first. We were lucky enough to get a feeder team in the first match. We won 2-0. Then, we waited for another 4 hours for the next match and lost 6-2. We lost on shooting seriously... The rim was so elastic and the board is not much wider than my file. How to lay up???

In the end of the day, Kev got an AND1 T-shirt for answering a quiz,
Kenny gets to show off his slams(the rim was lower than the normal rims),
And I got nothing more than just satisfaction and the fun of joining the competition.
I think we'll do better next year because we never play with each other that often...

Our team, K2I...
Kenny at the left, Kev at the right...(I know I'm short...)
