Malaysia should invadeJapan for Their Girls!!!!!!!!! ~gay yip~

Today has got to be the awesomest day Of July , Oh yes babe, SFC just had its Prefects' Installation for year 09/10 !!!!!! But you know what, I'm not the happiest bcuz of that, no offense k, it is because *drumroll~*Three Japanese Girls Came to our school!!!!! I gave out my gay yip the moment I saw them, SO PRETTY, like dolls this.... I want to post their pictures and also pictures from the prefects' installation but I guess that have to wait until my darlin Purut sends me the pics dat I took using her camera. So many again that, kesian her, but you know I love you right :)

So i'm sure the little amount amount of people who actually read my blog would notice that I don't even have a single picture on my blog. People say a picture tells a thousand words, but I'll just let my thousand words tell a thousand words. Sometimes people forget that that could work too. When people ask why no picture, I say cuz my face ugly(which is not entirely wrong). Same reason also i give when they ask why i don't have any facebook.
I'll just come clean okay. The reason why I don't have any of the above is because I do not own a CAMERA !!!!!! Sure, my parents have lar but it's like an ancient digital camera and I am the clumsiest and most irresponsible person around so a fragile old camera and limited hand-eye coordination don't go together very well, so I've heard.

Now that you know, sensitive lar sikit and next time instead of asking "Why no picture?", just ask lar, "What type and brand of camera you wan, later I buy for you at any random occasion like during The Independence Day or something" :p. Speaking of holidays, two of my brother's don't have to go to school for a week because two of their classmates got infected by H1N1 or SWINE flu. Sorry, i couldn't help but to emphasize SWINE. SWINE. SWINE. Okay, stop it Mir, isn't it enought that people think you're weird, hehe. So much fun oh for them, I also get benefit because now i can sleep more for like 10 minutes now that I don't have to rush to fight for the bathroom with them. Trust me, we're brutal. It also seems like one by one schools are closing down because of these pandemic, I wonder when's Convent's turn.... I know, what about sometime in the middle of August, you know, so that we can miss test and all? Just a thought....

Then Tawau Went Away With the Prize, and This Sucks

OMG, I know i have said a lot of times that i don't mind whatever place i will get because competitions are a good place to gain some experience and also hopefully, friends... And you know what, i still think so. But somehow, this feeling of being a loser haven't seem to go away. I feel like i have let myself and everyone down, although I have to say I did give it my all for the Public Speaking Competition (State level) that was held on the 22th of July. To anyone who says that public speaking is very easy, i say go get a life. It seriously isn't because you must have a wide knowledge in everything on top of thinking on your feet plus the ability to crap to the max and still sound intelligent.

I don't want to bother you with all the stories involving the challenge to go Lahad Datu itself. All I can say is it involved a lot of tears (on my part). Thank you so much my dearest mummy for being so generous with the plane tickets. I love you :)

I made a lot of friends especially from Keningau, Tambunan, Beaufort, Lahad Datu and Penampang. Tawau was quite nice as well. Sandakan on the other hand look quite intimidating but he actually cracked a smile later into the competition. Anyways, i never thought the impromptu speecH this year would be quite stale which is TECHNOLOGY MAKES LIFE BETTER . I didn't do as well as others but I late found out they did a debate topic on this in the state level competition and it was quite recent. That is why a lot of them did very well, apart from them being very good and experienced. One more thing, apparently a lot of districts have no competition which is why they immediately compete in the state level. That made me a little jealous because in kk, you can work your ass off training and researching and that does not even guarantee a win in anything.

So here are the list of winners
1st place : Tawau
2nd place : Keningau
3rd place : Lahad Datu

I have to say something though. Keningau was the 8th to speak, Lahad Datu was the 10th to speak and Tawau was the 11th to speak. Wanna guess who was the 9th ? YOURS FREAKING TRUELY.... That sucks right, i know :(

Anyways i have to say congratulations to all the winners and you guys deserved it. One thing that makes me happy though. My district trophy is way bigger that the trophy at the state level, so thats kinda like a way for me to be happy about losing, kinda....
Now, I have nothing in the way of my studies and that is something i can excel in as long as I work really hard.... Going back to school will definitely be weirder but hey, it's like nearing the end of the year and SPM is closer than anyone can imagine....

Speaking of test, I have to say my results kinda disappoint me so far.... I will reveal later but first this is my comment on the test
BM : Quite easy, but scoring for it is another matter
BI : Also very easy
M3 : The easiest of them all (chapter 6 only keluar, wat you expect)
CHEM : Crap most of it
BIO : All i study, x kuar, yg i x study pula, all keluar (Sucks to the max!)
PHY : I hate this subjet 1st and foremost and never motivated to study it anyway... So yeah,sucks
SEJ: Chapter 5 &6 is not my fav chapter, probably fail (and i never got less than 84)
ADD M3: To me quite okay, but a few mistakes
ENG. LITERATURE: HAHA, DIDN`T DO IT... i skip because just finish PB competition :P
P/MORAL: Quite tough, we'll see good or not the results

Wow, my stress level really went down after writing this... I don't really care if no one's reading because I really feel better after writing my feelings down.... I might even like bloggin now, so not gonna quit, yet...

I guess it's my cue to stop, so just comment or whatever k ?!

Public Speaking (Da real 1)

So, on the 17th of July, the real public speaking competition finally happened. I woke up at 3 in the morning hoping to know my speech inside out. To tell you the truth, even though I had like a week more to practice, i didn't spend ANY time at all on it because i focused all my energy on the freaking hard test (which i will blog about later). I have never failed in any subjects and I don't intend to start now, thank you very much.

Back to the main thing. So, I didn't hafal my whole script because my mum told me that it is a public speaking competition and not a public hafaling the script that you have competition. I honestly just wanted to get the whole thing over and done with and i did not expect anything out of it but to gain some experience and also make new friends (which i did). So I went to school and ask teacher Rosmah to tocang lekat my haircuz if i do kan, gelembung-gelembung that. After that, i went and see teacher aini because she was the one who is suppose to take me to the competition but apparently, Pn. Pang wanted her to stay for some blood donation drive at our school. I really felt like anak terpinggir because no one wants to send me until the awesome teacher Siska agreed to accompany me.

During the part where we have to draw our number, this guy, Adam from Sanzac strike up a conversation with mua. So we had fun talking and one of those stuff was about how we don't want to be the 1st or the last to present our speech. Our wish came true bacause Adam was the 5th to present and i was the 8th (nice number!).

I know what people say about how you should psyche yourself up before a competition but honestly the only thing i did was talk, talk and talk, up till it was my turn to speak. In my opinion, i did pretty well during my prepared speech but honestly, i have to say Sean from La Salle did it the best. He even did some locking thingy during his speech because it was about the hip hop culture.

Then the dreaded moment arrive. The impromptu speech. Wanna know how did i prepare ?
If it was (insert topic), i would say:
  • H1N1

H1N1 is swine flu. Repeat after me, SWINEEEEEEEEEEEE......

  • 1Malaysia

In my opinion, the 1Malaysia slogan is only a political gimmick by our Most Horrible, I mean Honourable Prime Minister, Dato Seri' Najib something........ I doubt he even knows the specific definition for that particular slogan of his.

And i think i stop preparing after that..... Sad, kan ?

When I was in the quarantine room (haha, swine flu comes to mind) for the impromptu speech, I got the shock of my life when i found out the topic would be WHAT IS SAFE SEX?

I know, it was the longest four minutes ever to write a three minute speech (yes, that is the format for the impromptu speech). When the time ended, I only got the definition ready. It was the most ackward speech ever, explaining what safe sex is exactly. Most of the guys went high I guess cuz they're definitions are like rated 18 and above....

Anyways, at the end of the competition, I was quite confident on nabbing at least a place because i know my impromptu speech was done quite nicely. But having said that, I never expected to win ! Me, the one who didn't even have enough time to prepare for everything, only a few people know how i was suffering deep down inside but i believe God saw my hard work and he rewarded me accordingly :) Let's not forget the other awesome winners which is...

1st runner up : Sean (La Salle)

2nd runner up : Kieran (Maktab Sabah)

You guys are awesome and honestly i had one of the best competitions in my life. We broke the unwritten rule where we are somehow suppose to wish others to fail. Instead, we had a lot of fun talkin to one another and it will be an experience i will treasure, trust me.

The trophy is so big but i am setting my sights to win the state level competition in Lahad Datu (i'll blog about it later...). Don't worry teachers, i might not be your 1st or 2nd choice to join this competition but i promise that i will do my best for God, myself and the school. I can't guarantee anything else, but hopefully it will be enough.

p/s : the competition will be on the 21st and 22nd of July... Wish me Luck

Public Speaking Freaking Postponed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is it i hate about my school the most ?!!!!!!!!!! The incompetent staff they have ! This happened last Wed (8th July).... So i agreed to Teacher's Sim's request to join the Public Speaking two days before the date of the competition which was supposed to be on 8th July (the aforementioned date)... So that Monday, i did not even went to class, instead i was stuck in the staff room doing my speech.... Oh yeah, and my teacher said i have to submit a competition worthy speech in 5 hours, YES 5 HOURS !!!!!!!!!!! So i was hyperventilating but by God's grace, i managed to come up with the speech, with the title The Malaysian Way of Life. I thought it was quite good but after that, i was panicking because i found out there was gonna be an impromptu speech!!!!!!!!!! Honey, i don't do impromptu cuz i have foot in mouth disease... I just know that i would say something like da 6th Prime Minister is a douchebag or something.....

Anyway, on Wednesday, I was all prepared for the competition when it was revealed that the competition was postponed.... POSTPONED!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it is a good thing, but can't they tell me earlier, like, i dun know, before the day of the competition ?! It would have saved me a lot of nerve, tears and breakdowns..... Not only that, the letter that said it was postponed was actually received by the school on the 4th, but the "staff" conveniently forgot about it......

Thank God the little amount of self control i have was enough to hold me bact from strangling someone........

Just a thought..................

I really miss the old days where the only thing I have to worry about is about which cartoons to see when some of their times overlap with each other......

Law Olympiad

Hey people, it has been long gone since Law Olympiad competition has been going on (3rd July) but hey, better late than never..... So what exactly is Law Olympiad ? It sounds kinda scary but it is just a simple competition made up of five games such as whodunnit, trivia quiz and so on.... It only requires logic and no knowledge of LAW and all those stuff... The best part, it was conducted in Tsung Tsin.



Frankly, i only went because i didn't want to attend teacher wong's class (she's a trainee teacher who gives homework like crazy and her deadlines is like the next day....). She's a nice person but sometimes humans can last only last so long listening to high pitch, high frequency voice.....

When we first arrive, the feeling i got was, was, how do i put it ? Fine, stephy put it the best, I FELT POOR ! We felt that way because while waiting for our teacher in charge to arrive, this group of Tsung Tsin girls walk around with their head held high with the type of strut that suggest them reciting mentally I'M RICH, I'M RICH.... Stephy's words, but she summed my thoughts exactly....

I was kinda disappointed because Tsung Tsin are kinda lacking in the hot guys department, but i digress....

So the first game was very nice because it requires you to find the murderer in three separate cases, so you're basically the detective. Our group of five people separated into Andrea and Eileen who worked on the 1st case, Sam and Mimi on the second case and i was the loopholer... The strategy kinda backfired because we didn't have time to finish the third case because the first two cases was kinda tough. I ended up doing the third case myself in the last two minutes and i only had time to name some random character as the culprit..... I don't know why but the Help U people thought that it is fun to mess with our brains because they told us the answer right after that... It turned out all three cases that we did, we got right :)

The rest of the competition went well and after the game is over, we had lunch at the school's canteen. OMG, so huge the place, like shopping mall !!!! two storey's again that, sakai trus dis... Apa boleh buat, Convent's canteen is like a quarter of that school's canteen... They serve us so much food that we weren't able to finish it... and being one of the responsible one's (ehem!), i offered to keep the dirty dishes at the designated area... The dustbins there are one of those that needs to be opened by steppin on the foot pedal, so i wanted to throw some food scraps when the smartass guy who was steppin on the pedal suddenly released it, causing the penutup dustbin to fall directly on my hand .... EWWW!!!!!!!

When it was time for the results to be announced, 3rd place with the RM300 prize went to Lok Yuk Team A (da smartass punya team lagi dat....), 2nd place with the RM750 prize went to Tsung Tsin Team B and the first place (RM 1500 !!!!) went to Tsung Tsin Team D.... Congrats to all the winners ! Need help spending the money ?

Although we did not win AKA lost, i was very happy cuz i cannot think of a better team to participate with. Having said that, next time, please lar Tsung Tsin, make the comp. a fair one... The rules clearly stated only TWO teams per school yet you guys sent five... I know lar bah so many people smart smart there, but don't close of chances to other schools to at least get a place okay! And no, I'm not a Sore Loser!*sulks*
