Hanyo Haseiyo!! Back from korea...

hey y'all!! im back from korea. havn't uploaded the photos yet so i won't say anything for now. but i dont think i can upload everything though. i have 250+ photos and my camera ran out of memory halfway through :(

anyways, bad news first. some idiots broke into my house and stole a couple of stuff. my things to be accounted for :
- Samsung SGH-X660 handphone + Maxis SIM card
- Nokia N70 handphone + Celcom SIM card
- iPod Nano USB cable

one wonders why they took two phones and a USB cable but left behind the two phone chargers.... hahaha...

no worries though. i probably needed a new phone anyway. :)

holiday...

yo, going to korea for a week. i depart tonight. be back on 14th december. with photos. i'll be sure to get pictures of snow :D

SPM IS OVER!!!!

yes, people. read the capitalized title. spm is finally over! (except for my bible knowledge paper) unfortunately so is high school. im really gonna miss all of you guys and gals of smk usj 12. well, at least the ones that i know. ;(

anyways, im not gonna discuss the spm papers. frankly speaking, i've seen enough of exams for now. but im selling the papers :P (20 cents a page, muahahaha). now for the dilemma of spm results, further studies, work.... good thing no khidmat negara for me....

i hope many of you will still continue to take time to visit my blog unless i myself declare it dead and permanently abandoned ;). anyways, i wont be updating this blog too much for now because :
- lack of ideas (ironic, my ideas only come during essays....)
- doing other things (to relax, duh)
- vacation to korea! (shortly after my final paper)
- other random and irrelevant circumstances XD
but please continue to come here. promise?

well, to keep you entertained. i will be posting plenty of youtube vids :). here's a version of canon rock by cesar huesca. truly awesome. check it out.



"over and out..."

SPM

okay, its been ages since my last post....

anyways, SPM is 18 days away. i suppose all of you are studying (mostly). so i will wish you all good luck and pray for the best. i wont be posting till after SPM ends (5th december for me). good luck y'all!!

"it's time....our finest hour has come..."

wee li's birthday

ok, i should have posted this before the vid but i kind of forgot :P

jian and i went to sunway pyramid on thursday to celebrate wee li's birthday. well actually, he belanja us lunch.... XD. anyways, vernon, bernard and mun howe were there also. because the birthday boy was paying for lunch, he earned the title "boss"....

also played bowling there. it was my first time ever bowling so i was surprised to get the 2nd highest score in the first match XD. and i had no idea that i could curve the ball....
eventually my score dropped. ah, most of them hit the gutters anyway....

also went to the new arcade near the renovated cinema. i got 5th place in daytona. hmm, first time driving manual and i get 5th out of 6 places. not bad :P

well, had a great time there. latih tubi tomorrow X(....

humour vid post

i was youtube surfing again (cos no mood to study, duh) and found this :
I've Got A Jar Of Dirt : Remix Video by NeonHurricane



hehe, the song is highly addictive and can get stuck in ur head after awhile :D

"the captain seems to be acting a bit strange...*shrugs*"
"is the jar of dirt going to help?" "if you don't want it, give it back" "no!"

enjoy!

p/s : dun laugh ur WHOLE head off... you'll need it for SPM.... XD

exam results....

why is it that the worst results always come up last? and they end up making you look bad...

maths - 82% (A1)

addmaths - 52% (C6)

bm - 56% (C5)

est - 86% (A1)

bi - 96% (A1) *w00t!*

sejarah - 46% (D7)

still waiting for chemistry, physics, bio and moral... >.<

and what's more, another latih tubi coming up! man, i'll be glad when this is over...

"what's in a name? that which we call a rose..."

im back...

yo, its been awhile since i posted something. haiz, nobody seems to wanna visit anyways.... blog is dying :/

so many things are just suddenly clouding my mind, its so stressful... and now i cant enjoy my temporary freedom right after my trials. i dont know, i just need a break....

anyway, im hoping for good grades for trials despite not doing so well in addmaths, moral and sejarah (as usual). well, even lost hope is hope...

gah, my mind's so full that its blank. i'll post more when i think of something...

so little time....

i'll just post a bunch of videos from youtube for now. exams are getting way too close....



the awesome french beatboxer, joseph (again)



from beatboxing to freestyle ball tricks, meet tommy baker. he holds the world record for the longest ballspin on his head (9.5 seconds)

I am interested in - do tell me aboutherhimitthem

i apologize to affan for using his name but its just so damn funny....

just something to laugh at...

i havn't updated in a long time and i havn't got time for proper post so i'll just grab this funny video right here....

busy busy....

gosh, what a busy week i've been having....

Tuesday : -

came back from cameron highlands. yeah, so i had to ponteng sekolah to go on holiday but hey, my whole family was going so why not? played pool (by myself, so sad) mostly and i have to admit, there really is no place like home. (it was getting boring there...)

Wednesday : -

went back to school for RIMUP scavenger hunt. 5 browser's scavenger hunt team consisted of me, qi hong, kah tim, michelle and syafiq (as a last minute resort). ended up dead last (sob). finnix in 1st, cyberlink in 2nd. went to lepak near the chess competition upstairs later. lost to cyberlink by 1 match (just because kah tim banged a table by accident and caused a rematch between yee jian and khai shien, in which jian lost....)

later....

triple milestone birthday celebration! my aunt's 60th, my dad's 50th, and my bro's 10th birthday (well, actually his is 2 days later but what the hey...). had an awesome buffet dinner (by ms read's delicious (tm), owned by my aunt) with a performing jazz band as entertainment.

Friday : -

pjk lesson as usual despite the rain (yay! and i'm not even sick!). played basketball (me, vernon, nick and zi peng got owned by walter, kee sing, chin thye and yeh vin....) then some football. came back to school later for RIMUP wau competition. we came as the most unprepared team (me, amy, jia yi, diyana, yeh vin) and ironically, were the 1st to finish making our wau. then went to play more football (XD). unfortunately, delphi and oracle won the competition....(more sob)

later....

celebrated (officially) my brother's 10th birthday at my aunt's house. had a chocolate ice cream cake from baskin robbins. there's still some left in the freezer....

today (saturday) : -

didnt do anything interesting or useful at all (XD)

i'll post some photos next time.

coming up soon : -

latih tubi, maths competitions, english poem contest, electronic organ performance and theory exam, the beginning of my self-studying plan for spm.

cheers.

the heat....

this has got to be the worst weather we've had in a long time. it certainly hasn't rained for awhile and all this heat is gonna fry my brain soon....

the dark shadow of spm looms closer still.... since i dont take tuition, im gonna start studying seriously. its time to shift into full gear....

there's just so many things going on. RIMUP, math quizzes, etc. and yet i feel like none of them bother me at all. its as if i was floating in a empty and silent space, right in the middle of a loud and vibrant crowd.... i really need to clear my mind...

"sitting in a crowded place, yet so alone...."

uhh....

bleh, things are just so....so....bleh....

yeah, some opening statement that is. i feel like there are interesting things going on but i just dont seem to notice them at all....

today seems a bit different than any other day. probably due to the fact that open day is tomorrow. most teachers didnt come in today (w00t) and whatever work they left for us, i ignored. and there was a health check today. you know, the height, weight and eyesight records. hehe, i, dickson, affan, gena and soik yee were allowed to skip sejarah today to do the health check for 5 cyber. besides, pn geetha is away on her maternity leave and i wasnt in the mood to write down subjective questions for chapter 3....

5 cyber was getting their photos for the majalah when we came in (so good, wonder when is ours...). quite a bit of a mix-up when 3 people were not in the class' health records. ah, what the heck....

had to arrange the tables and chairs for open day tomorrow. a bunch of us pretended to act out a scene for open day. imagine this : student - nicholas , parents - at least 7 (wtf) , teachers - at least 5, none of which actually teach anything our government would approve of :)

and my uncle just came down from the US today. well, it's good to see him again. doesnt seem to have changed :)

- "say, we should have a prom night after SPM....or at least a barbeque party..."

photos (chem, solar car & math quiz)

here are the photos for the chemistry lesson, solar car competition and math quiz. i dont have the patience to upload 50 photos so i took the best 20. sorry i couldnt do this earlier.... XD

class 5 browser : population - 36, description - a humour-loving community (XP)

future professors : dickson (diploma in additional mathematics), yee jian (robotics expert), syafiq (err, degree in happiness?)

pn. alicia's chemistry lab. (do we look ridiculous in these lab coats?)

burning magnesium ribbon at table 2 (syafiq, affan, yee jian, gena, soik yee, david and me)

hoho, smokey....

"dr. hazieq, how are our current results?" "dunno....we're just posing for the camera...."

yours truly, being photographed by someone else for a change...

magnesium ashes are so cool....arent they?

student professors or professional strippers? i cant tell....

equation : 1 hour in chemistry lab + nothing left to do = back group resorting to heating a 10 sen coin till it glows red


kaartigayan, yee jian and i at the solar car competition. currently running tests on the solar car. (tiny, isnt it?)


the other competitors really do come in all shapes and sizes....


"yo, dude. you judges, like, totally dropped our solar car on the ground during inspection. we should sue you...." (no kidding, they held it up to the sunlight for a better look. i mean, duh, its a solar car, it runs on sunlight. it was obviously gonna accelerate off 'yer hand if you didnt hold it right....)


check it out, both of the motor wires popped out after the race. now its damaged beyond repair.


i got a shot of the "audience"....


math quiz day! a grueling 10-hour event! smk usj 12 math quiz team : chin wei, bee shan, yi hui, khai shien, me


huahaha....chin wei, yi hui and khai shien in the final round : the aural part (susah tau...). me and bee shan just sit back and count their marks. end results? : ownage. smk la salle klang, 5, smk seafield, 5, smk usj 12, 8. (w00t!)

khai shien recieving a box containing one month's supply of breakfast cereal for being awarded the best individual. hahaha....


look at all our loot, haha....two heavy trophies, 5 small trophies, a 2.5-feet tall hamper (containing snacks *kacang!*), and another 1 month's supply of breakfast cereal.


victory!!! (this photograph was taken by khai shien's mum) all in all, a wonderful day. ("all's well that ends well...")

my sad computer....

argh, i cant upload photos from my desktop! it hangs everytime! it's driving me nuts! my brother has this sudden warcraft addiction and now he's downloading maps like crazy, maybe that's causing all the lag....i need to get rid of something....

maybe i'll transfer the photos to a desktop then try uploading them....

anyway, holidays are gone, school's back. it seems that my exam marks are improving :D
bm - 67% (B3)
math - 77% (A1)
sej - 49% (D7)
moral - 41% (D8)
est - 88% (A1)
addmath - 45% (D7)
.....well, everything except sejarah. i have yet to determine my bio and physics marks and i havn't recieved english and chem. i'll keep my blog updated...and hopefully i can solve my photo problem...

- "what is happiness if there's no one to share it with..."

so much to do, so little time....

i hav'nt got much time so i'll describe my penang trip in 10 simple sentences/phrases :
1. unplanned meals
2. too much seafood
3. learned new swimming pool tricks (handstand, sitting on the pool floor for half a minute, etc.) XD
4. learned how to ride a jetski (w00t!)
5. learned how to play....golf? (sort of)
6. discovered that ferringhi has plenty of jellyfish during this time of year
7. my bro got stung by a jellyfish X(
8. discovered that sitting in a hotel room playing warcraft is a terrible way to pass time
9. discovered that the sand in ferringhi is unsuitable for sand-sculpting
10. discovered that there truly is no place like home :)
there we go. (irony : i brought a camera to penang and forgot to take photos....)

as for why i hav'nt got much time - currently incompleted tasks :
1. latihan masa cuti
2. chem e-cat
3. something that the sejarah teacher asked us to do....um....
4. wash shoes
5. tidy room
6. prepare for music theory exam
7. prepare for music school concert
8. erm, something else i forgot.....
9. get enough sleep
hwahaha, i should get a prize for procrastinating...

anyways, g'nite, cya soon. (i hope...)

"for what purpose do we act the way we do...."

aiyah, tired to tell you all about the penang trip lah.... another time lah. next post : penang trip + photos (not many, mind you)....

- "does it really matter how we do things? it all ends up the same anyway...."

10 reasons why im not blogging lately....

1. tired

3. desperately trying to get rid of excess stress
4. sleepy
5. brother hogs computer (always)
6. hot weather lately
7. i got 49 for history :(

hey, i didnt say they had to be reasonable or make sense....

i predict my next post to be on friday.

"walking but not moving, looking but not seeing, wandering but not getting anywhere..."

beatbox

i've got no time to put up a proper post so i'll just leave you all with a video. enjoy ;)

happy labour day y'all, sort of...

moral kerja amal : bernard, shawn, darshan and i met at the park. they had no camera or any time for that matter so they came to my house to do the pictures for perkembangan diri. check it out : -

1. bernard, cleaning the downstairs toilet 2. darshan, cleaning the same toilet

3. shawn, in the same toilet again *right, now its getting really old*

haha, voluntary human labour in my home....

oh, and speaking of labour day, my church held its annual family day this morning. loads of people from our school showed up, both catholics and protestants alike. but going around checking out the stalls year after was getting kind of routine for me so i decided to take care of the sound system this year.

...and another thing : labour day is also david's birthday, dont forget to wish him in school! XD

here's a bunch of photos i dug out of my camera today *well, with an intention of getting the kerja amal thing done anyway*. enjoy :)

my music school concert (im the keyboardist in the middle of the picture)

and if it doesnt work, just go to YouTube and search for "Smash My PS3" or you could go to "smashmyps3.com"
note : the dude recieved an awful lot of insults for that :)

....

Location : 5 Browser classroom, SMK USJ 12
Date : 25th of April, 2007
Time : around 1015 hours (10.15 am)
Incident : -
bahasa melayu class. bell rings for prefects' recess. all the prefects (well, most of them) head to the canteen. kah tim migrates to the back of the class and sits next to shereena.

pn salasiah : ha, sekarang pindah ke belakang untuk bercerita pula...
chin thye : cikgu, kah tim ada perempuan simpanan. bila michelle keluar, giliran shereena pula...

ROFL. lol. come to think about it, kah tim is the tallest guy in class and his girlfriend is the shortest girl in class. go figure.

....

yesterday, i went to that new cinema near Ikano and the Curve. the place is awesome, man. and what more, the tickets only cost RM6. O.o'

here's a piece of advice : go and watch the movie "wild hogs". its so damn funny, people were cracking up in the cinema.

....

alright check this out : you know how people are always trying to prove the existence of ghosts, spirits, etc...

well, a grand-aunt and an uncle of mine just passed away recently. one of my relatives claimed that he saw my grand-aunt (his grandmother) being escorted by a beautiful angel. and when that uncle passed away, he also saw him escorted but by an ugly angel (or whatever it is) and he was covered in chains. he was complaining about not being buried in melaka. (well, that's what i heard anyway....i think...)

thinking about this, it opens a possibility that many other things may exist as well. there are so many mysteries out there that humans cannot solve. imagine how many more others are out there and have not even been discovered yet.

....

many people believe in luck right? here's a luck-related joke : -

Jake : check this out, man. today is july seventh, right?

Peter : yeah.

Jake : right. the seventh day of the seventh month. i arrived at the horse racing track at seven minutes past seven. my son is seven years old today and we live at number seven, Seventh Avenue.

Peter : let me guess, you bet everything you had on the seventh horse in the seventh race.

Jake : right.

Peter : and he won?!

Jake : no, he came in seventh.

- "rofl..."

rojak....

no, this post has nothing whatsoever to do with rojak. heck, i dont even eat that stuff....
so why did i put it? dunno...

ah, stupidity is bliss....

has anyone noticed how simple-minded people are always so much happier and less worried than complicated people? and if i'm right they probably live longer too... long story short : it's good to be blurr once in a while...

*2 feet from the 3-point line....pull back....jump shot, and....swish...*
haha, i dont know how i do it either...(eh-eleh...)

today at pj (no, not petaling, pendidikan jasmani) :
"fu-yoh, mun howe 3-pointer!!"
*ball misses the hoop altogether*
then the ball bounced some 15 feet away from a bunch of primary school girls, causing them to shriek as if it was raining cockroaches....
ah, what the heck....still lost anyway...

hmm, i need to come up with something to write to be published in this year's school magazine. not that i'm on the editorial board, but on behalf of the class...well, sort of.

and for personal enjoyment, here's a couple of links to some cleverly *cough cough (yeah right)* created flash videos (and in case you're a ham sap fella : no, they're not pictures of people flashing).
- something to laugh at : the gay test (nah, its not really a test but its funny)
- something to drive people up the wall : really annoying song (really, REALLY annoying. in fact, its driving me nuts right now...)

~so long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to....crap, lol~

haiz, busy busy busy....

right, i know i dont post much. now you will know why :
1. usual church service on sundays (either readings, organ or sound system)
2. school latih tubi (ah, dont give a damn)
3. upcoming midyear exam (maybe i'll give it a damn)
4. TWO upcoming math quizzes (DAMN...)
5. possible participation of solar car competition, district level (again)
6. bible knowledge weekly exams and quizzes (yikes)
7. chemistry e-cat presentation project (i would like to call it e-cacat...)
8. music school concert (no comment)
9. est essay long overdue (like a month....)
10. intentions of making an original amv (probably not gonna happen anyway)
11. my daily "lazy time" (ahhaha....haha...ha...)
12. and more....

XP

oh, and the fact that pn regina may ask me to write something for the class page in the majalah sekolah this year. (yea, dont laugh....)

"hey Noel, this should be Affan's full name...."

~ Affan Bintendonesiawa ~ (Affan-binti-Endon-Indonesia-Jawa)

some people really have nothing better to do than to make fun of others....

sometimes i see others in their time of need....but yet i can do nothing....aw, it makes me feel helpless... "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak"

speaking of that....here's a related joke :

a photographer was determined to prove the existence of ghost so she visited a haunted house. as soon as she entered, she saw the ghost. without checking the camera settings, she finished the entire film shooting the ghost. not only did the ghost stay there but it also posed for her. when the film developed the following week, all the pictures were underexposed. as the photographer put it : "the spirit was willing but the flash was weak".

"sometimes, people just wish they could do the extraordinary. what they don't know is....that they already can..."

ketagihan minigames....

ahhaha, so sorry i had to rush off on the previous post....

for some reason i have a sudden addiction for minigames, gah i feel so pathetic....haiz....

hey, anyone watching american idol? who're you people supporting?? i'd say melinda doolittle is the strongest competitor so far...hard to say though....

eheh, class photos being taken today!! kinda funny la...

photographer to yeh vin : umm boy, can bend down a bit ah?

*yeh vin bends down a little*

photographer *again* : err, can bend down summore ah?

*yeh vin bends his knees further*

ROFL

well, eventually they got it right....i think....haha.

"do you ever feel....like time is always changing its pace?..."

easter...

its finally easter. funny how fast time can fly...

here's a few jokes :

1. Mr Rooster woke up on Easter morning and found a pile of very colourful eggs. So he went into the forest and beat the living shit out of Mr Peacock.

Happy Easter!!

work, work....

work, work....ugh, i'm starting to sound like one of those peons in warcraft 3....

sometimes there are situations when you know you've got something to do or something that you want to do, but you just cant do it.
- "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41)

well, now's one of those times.... an english speech to write and here i am blogging about how i want to write but just can't do it.

speaking of which, i made this picture over the weekend....

hmm, first time i've done something like this.... anyway, this is a combination of 3 different pictures, a script from the actual game...and a lousy airbrush function....took 1-2 hours. i don't think this picture would make a good wallpaper though (the words kinda get in the way) but you can save it if you want....

Cheers.

twilight
adj. (only before noun)
(formal) used to describe a state in which things are strange and mysterious, or where things are kept secret and do not seem to be part of the real world....

...and now you know what it actually means.

yes, noel has returned to blogspot....*insert choice of dramatic music here*

and thus, i shall make a vow to myself to post something at least once a week despite a tight schedule....
*end of drama*

sometimes its kind of funny when you experience something unusual and you want to blog about it.... and when you do want to blog about it, your mind just goes blank. i guess we all live in a world of sweet irony.

the real world
ahhaha, exam marks - some good, some bad, some excruciating (argh, the 1 mark difference issue....its mocking me....damn you!!!)

note : the 1 mark difference has thwarted me from having 5 A1's (it only gave me 3...). it also made me fail add maths...

lol, the class has opted to the the human molecule project (or so i self-named it) and (dont laugh) im directing 1 group....

til next time....
