第11届书香盛会

一连10天的第十一届书香国际中文书展在绿野国际会展中心正是引爆！早上10时我们全家驱车前往绿野仙踪参与其盛。当时在我们载送弟弟到成功时代广场时，我接到嘉玮打给我的电话问我是否今天也去哪儿。真巧！我回答他待会儿碰面。

抵达那儿时已是11时30分，中心内人头窜动，显得十分拥挤。然后我遇到了嘉玮，我们笑说假期两天后竟然再次见面。我们绕了一圈书展后便到绿野水上购物广场，毕竟这才是适合我们的话题嘛！不过说实在的，到这儿好几年了我认为这里尽是专卖店，没有什么娱乐场所。不过当我们来到最顶层某个角落时，发现这儿原来有保龄球场、桌球中心、网咖和卡拉OK室。嘉玮提议下次聚会来这里，我像发现新大陆般并邀嘉玮来玩一场保龄球。可是他身上没钱，他拨电想向妈妈拿，可惜家人叫他要回了。嗨...... 我只好坐在那儿观察人家打保龄球解解瘾。

吃过午餐后才是我真正融入书香世界的时候。首先，我走马看花地浏览中心内的各个角落，随意看看各单位有什么康头。这里真的是应有尽有，包括各类书籍、电子产品、文具、动漫等等。接着我便开始研究各书商提供的优惠及参考我心中属意的书，特别是有关数理、智商题、文学及最近畅销的书籍。不过最后我却只买了一本关于视错觉(optical illusion)画像的书、两本门萨(MENSA)智商全集和明年课程的作业参考书。

过后我也参观动漫单位所展示的漫画，有几幅花真的很不错，我随手也拍拍几张。

下午5时，我们启程回家。

下星期日是书展的最后一天，一定有更诱人的优惠。我希望下周日可以再次光临书香书展！

A small gathering

Long time haven't update my blog ad. Well, for your information I'm sick now due to rapid climate change. Let's bless me feel better to continue my holidays' plan.

I reached school at 12.00 noon to take the academic report and wait for jia wei at the same time I chatted with friends. The day before jia wei invited me to play at Klang Parade after taking the report fail but I still considered wanna go or not because think of want to have a rest at home. Jia wei was really troublesome because he arrived near to 1.00 p.m as he was the FIRST one who invited me and wai hoong. Due to my playfulness, I followed them to KP and started our activities.

As we entered KP I felt the parade was isolated and cold. First we had our lunch at food court and then kah chun left to attend tuition. Then they decided to play bowling. It was great because that time there were many empty lanes for us as we no need to wait like on weekends. Jia wei and wai hoong played bowling in two rounds while I went to bookshop to have a random look for the books. At the same time I saw some friends there. I observed their ways to throw the ball and laughted them who made gutter ball. Jia wei "warned" me be "careful" when I play later.

I joined them after they finished the games. I tried my best and kept calm of myself before released the ball for every segment. The result was suprising me because I gained 5 spares and 1 strike to achieve 129 points at the end of the game! Although it was a non-perfect result for professional but it made a new record for me in my life. On the other hand, jia wei also gained 108 points. No bad what jia wei, can't suan siao me right? Haha. Wai hoong and I took photos as memories for today.

Then jia wei and I played blackball pool to continue our enmity last time. I had an off day because I just pocketed fews of my own balls but helped jia wei eliminating two of his own balls! But jia wei did a silly mistake because he pocketed blackball accidentally while still have few of his balls on table and finally I won, luckily.

Then we went to circus to spend the time left. We played race car together in same system. We were excited when playing race car because we competed for the 1st position in the game. Finally jia wei got 1st place and next is wai hoong and then me. We really enjoyed ourselves that time.

It was almost 4.00 p.m. and we enjoyed eating and had a chatting at McDonald. I left on 4.30 p.m. for tuition and the three-persons gathering is formally ended.

Sometimes I felt the "small" gathering is better than the gathering with many persons because it is easily to participate each activity and can enjoy very much. Anyway I'm now think about what will happen on 1st & 21st December and class trip.


Wai hoong's turn...

Jia wei looked at the back of wai hoong and thinking something deeply...


Jia wei's turn..."Dear ball fairy, go and show your real power!" said jia wei.


"Let you all see my real strength before you regret." whispered jia wei.

The red 1 hightlighted me as the 1st position's owner in whole game.

~The End~

最后一天的中四校园生活～

今天是中五生应付大马教育文凭考试的第一天，学长学姐带着紧张沉重的心情踏入校门，有别于我们4S1同学。这天虽然不是什么大日子，但共有30多位学生出席，班上依然充满笑声。

如往常般同学都自由活动，有的下棋、聚谈、玩牌，有的温习功课。伟能带了吉他来，嘉玮借来弹之。我们以为他不怎么会弹，老是对他冷嘲热讽。不过他还真有学过，弹得几首简单的歌。然后我们也唱了起来。

休息后彭老师进班为我们上着最后一堂课。她解说中五的“执子之手，与子偕老”这段名句地含义。这句话很浪漫！虽然这名句表面容易理解，可我偏偏误解了！我还以为是与“老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼”同样意思。顺手推舟，她也让我们鉴赏《诗经》里的四篇诗句，其中三篇是有关男女私情。教课时大家都专心地听，或许诗境吸引了正值少年时期的我们及一些情窦初开的同学。

老师教名句的方式真的很管用，让我们了解名句的同时也为我们上了宝贵的中国文学课。她同时透露明年会是什么老师执教我们华语。“我的天！”我心中惊呼。自从得知彭老师将无法继续教我们后，我期望明年不会遇到她，可偏偏事与愿违...... 无奈，还是无奈，我希望我不会就此不喜欢华语。(我的话一点儿也不过分。)

以下为今天所学到的诗经(不是很清楚，请见谅)：

《诗经•周南•关雎》http://www.guxiang.com/f/shici/021/28/295.htm

《诗经· 召南· 摽有梅》http://www.guxiang.com/f/shici/022/1/316.htm

《诗经· 邶风· 静女》http://www.guxiang.com/f/shici/022/2/341.htm

《诗经·鄘风· 相鼠》http://www.guxiang.com/f/shici/022/2/348.htm

同学在此也问问彭老师可不可以陪我们去班级旅行，老师说到时能够再通知大家，希望老师不会只释放假希望给我们。老师也为我们献上《思念总在分手后》。虽然不会哼唱，不过了解歌词的含义。临别时，我们向老师敬最后的行礼，象征我们对老师的谢意。然后嘉玮号召同学进行“饮胜”仪式。“Yammm.....Yammm.....YAMMM....SHENG!” 简单但不失隆重的场面在宁静的校园角落进行着。

放学后章毅、志诚一班人约到百立广场玩，我留校等时间流逝，其实我是等着3时分的化学科补习，顺手拍拍几张校园风景的照片。当时中五生仍进行考试。

最后离开学校抵达补习中心，结果入口处挂着“化学课取消”的公告，我和朋友“叹为观止”，白白吃了个闭门羹!

四条“一”的日子

今早如往常般踏入课室，发觉班上很热闹，因为班上出席率很高，此刻的我心里感到莫名的愉快，直觉告诉我今天将是不错的一日。

第一节是历史课，Bavanie老师终于来了。由于昨天才派来试卷，所以可以想象老师座位正被一群讨分的同学围绕。后来老师宣布其中一道选择题的真正答案，并要求被改错的学生上来更正时，许多同学感到兴奋，尤其得79分的抡温，因为他可得了A1，至于我也是受益者。当排队轮到我更正的时候，老师为我加了一分，看了看分数，看了看我(或许我坐在最后一排老师没什么留意吧)。然后笑着对我赞许说：“emm...very good! Are you the top one?" 当时我感谢她并回答说：“不，还有另一位。” 此时我心中感到光荣，不只因受到老师的肯定，也因自己以优异的成绩报答老师一年的教导，对得起天地良心。不像第一排的人整节与老师嘻嘻哈哈，然后考不好才“强词夺理”。顺道报告小弟的历史科成绩：等级A＋。

接下来的节大家都自由活动，我与一班朋友进行男人私房话，任何话题无所不谈。这时“久违”的文强终于回来了，依琳和瑞云围着他在我们另一边聊聊他感情的事，至于他们聊了什么就不得而知。真羡慕又有同学找到自己的校园恋情。然后休息时段我到图书馆借了许多本书，打算趁着假日好好品书。

最后终于来到了华语课，彭老师带着40多本周记簿步入课室。进行“三部曲”后，我们目光集中在老师身上，聚精会神地聆听她的话。老师真的很喜爱我们这一班，她时而以长者身份，时而以朋友身份，把心中的话一一向我们娓娓道来：

“无论明年是由哪一位华语老师指导你们，希望你们可以仍然爱华语。”

“中学时段是人一生最后一个学习生涯。中学毕业时大家一定悲从中来，因为比起大学时期，中学时期大家是经常凝聚在一块儿的。”

“其实你们班是很欢乐的。我相信你们班上每一位同学都是会团结在一起，珍惜最后一年的中学生涯......”

言毕，班长说：“来！给老师爱的鼓励！”被老师教诲感化的同学默契地鼓掌，堂内充满温馨气息。这时周记本重新投入主人的怀抱，主人个个“战战兢兢”地翻阅老师给予的最后评语。不过很遗憾地，放学的钟声响起了。但班长要求各位暂且留步与老师合照，大家积极配合。

尔后，我翻开周记，仔细阅读老师给予我的话。老师也贴心以我的名取了十字诗句。谢谢您，老师！

十字简言尽透露无尽的祝福~ 感恩！

下午3时，我终于回到停了一个月又一星期的化学补习课。室内一如往常般，Linda老师认真地讲解中五第一单元的课程，台下的一些同学有的“钓鱼”，有的专心听课。

中四校园生活已进入倒数阶段，我会好好珍惜接下来的时光，希望每天过得充实。

考后心情～

最近看了许多朋友的部落格，觉得大家写的文章都很emo、很悲观，好像一时间领悟到人生哲理，并于结尾处道出将进行“改革”等类似的话。或许人到年终心里难免有种失落、感慨、惆怅的感觉。这些人当中有即将毕业的，有在考场上失意的，有的纯粹对时间荏苒有感而发。无论你是哪种因素导致心中的感觉，都不得不承认，当你拥有任何东西时没好好珍惜它，你将失去它的时候，才后悔当初没好好珍惜。其实这一句话大家都听过了，但为何人，包括我，在即将与它永别时才领悟这个道理？

曾几何时，当初我在年头时立下壮志，希望在这次大考中考获优异的成绩。正所谓“工欲善其事，必先利其器”，我买来许许多多的作业参考书。不过当我针对这次成绩进行检讨时，发现其实我没好好立下 (利) 决心 (器) ，好好温习课业。哎！无奈！为何下决心、定意志做任何事是最难的呢？

考试终于完毕了，可是为何我心里依然沉重？怀念考试的日子？不！不过我发觉这段时期是我最用功的时候。因为成绩表现？是的，或多或少影响了我的心情。觉得考后生活如退休后一样空虚？真的，除了紧张地等待成绩，平常的我独来自往，活像独行侠，因为我失去一段友谊，虽然我与他经常闹意见。

其实我最厌恶考后的时期，不是因为成绩，主要是因为同学之间的比较心理。当你考到不好的成绩时，朋友问你得多少分，你怎么回答？“我考很差的啦！”；如果某人考得很好时，你会不会发现到，大多数的他也会回答类似的话？说好听是谦虚，不过过分的自谦真的很做作。此外，当人家分数比你高时，大多数的你是否感到沮丧，然后搞emo，心中是羡慕他，还是妒嫉呢？虽然人与人之间一定会发生竞争，不过此时此刻的人，心中变得很虚伪、不自然。因此我不会过问或打听他人的成绩，翻开自己的试卷检讨过错。哎！常年沉浸在污浊的精英班的我真羡慕文科班那一栋充满欢乐的学楼。

这次的大考是我在中学生涯的最后一次终考，考前考后所发生的事情，让我领悟到许多人情事故。中学生涯犹如小社会一样尽充满人生哲理。

终考事记(二)

10月29日 星期四

今天我们只有体健(P. Jasmani)考试，所以大都不理会它，围在一块儿聊天走走。虽然明天有数学考试，不过课程简单而没特意练习。公民科老师宣布每个同学都获得A等级，虽然大家知道公民科不重要，不过这几天派发的成绩大家都失望了，难得在这科大家都表现不俗，可谓旧旱逢甘露。

今天我们来的重点是生物科成绩。考试结束后，生物科老师吩咐同学派发沉甸甸的试卷，拿到试卷的同学大都唉声叹气。我接过试卷，对右上角的一组数字感到混淆，老师讲解评分标准后，我才知道真真的分数，很开心保住A等级，很失望的是令人差强人意的分数。老师四两拨千金地讲解答案，我记下答案及要点......

10月30日 星期五
早上7时30分数学试卷一考试进行，这是最后一张试卷，大家轻松但谨慎地做答。我做答时，当中有几题是三角学的，我用计算机计算，发现答案模棱两可，或是不可能的答案，这让我慌了：是不是我少了什么步骤？结果选着最接近的答案。考试结束了，大家欢呼，我没这么做，只是淡淡地感受试后的轻松心情，也担心接下来的日子......

我还是纳闷为何所做的题目，使用别人的计算机做答，答案不一样！我问了文强。结果，很羞愧的说，我的计算机进入另外一个模式，所以答案不一样。啊！不白之冤！结果错了3题，其中两题是因为可恶的模式所造成的。

过后老师分派高数试卷二，失望，想不到这科竟是可能、即将断送我参与班级旅行的罪魁祸首。不过我诚心祈祷我可以过关，然后亡羊补牢，希望上天恩准我的请求。中国文学的成绩派来了，有进步也。国语老师也分派国文试卷二，这次成绩我感到满足，虽然不是最好的，不过知道这是尽力而为后的结晶。希望试卷一可以保持这样表现。

加油各位！成绩还没派完，与其呆望着令你失望的成绩，不如诚心祷告，盼望明日派来的试卷吧。往者不可谏，来者犹可追～！

终考事记(一)

10月26日 (星期一)
这个星期是终考的最后一个星期，原以为这星期可轻松过着，然而心急如焚的陈老师答应将公布我们化学科成绩，大家都紧绷起来。虽然大家直言说不想听，但心中却是渴望知晓，并寄予很高的期望。我认为不是时候公布，也不急着很想知道。英文考试进行中，陈老师来到我的座位边写下令我出乎意外的数字，瞥了瞥，然后擦掉它，专心解答试卷，此时心情沉重。

10月27日 (星期二)
考完华语试卷后，jc老师公布物理科成绩，大家一窝蜂挤到分数表查阅。人少时我去看看，不理想...... 此时我真的无语问苍天。

10月28日 (星期三)
休息后“abnormal”老师让我们知道数学试卷二的分数，我寄予很高的期望可得满分。可是结果令我大失所望，我竟然才得到区区的XX分，没有崩溃得跌坐在地，但心里紧紧地被揪着，虽然有些地方可用来讨分。

今天中午开始雨下了起来，雷电交加。回到家里吃好东西，随手翻翻报章。没趣，然后坐在屋前看着雨水落下。由于刚刚下着倾盆大雨，雨逐渐听了，一柱水从屋顶集中后装进桶里。满了，水柱仍然敲打着水面，溅出来，被从天而降的水柱取代，发出清脆的声音。我呆望着前景，想着之前对这些科目相信可达到的分数竟然相差十万八千里，呆呆的我靠着沙发，睡了，“钓鱼”，醒了，起身，想通了，开始行动。

在此，我诚心向上天祈求明天即将分派的生物科，以及接下来的试卷可以顺利过关，至于之前期望的分数，免了。虽然如此，心中对一些科目还会有所保留，希望梦想成真！

10月～应考的季节

今天是10月6日，还有一天，大妹就得应付初中评估考试(PMR)。我上网搜索并下载今年其他州属的PMR预考试题，虽然预考不是正式考题，但预考是经过各州教育局分析并为应考生做的预测试，这也多多少少能帮助她。回想起自己去年应付PMR的情景，考前，临时抱佛脚中还带着悠闲的心情温习课业；在考场时，以平常心但仍谨慎地应考；考试完毕后，回到原来平静的生活。然而我今天仍遗憾当时考完后没有与朋友结伴大玩特玩，我知道这不是必须的，但没有在适当的时候做出适当的事还真不是滋味。

还有一周，我将应付学校年终考试。来到中四，虽然考试成绩不会影响明年的排班，但气氛依然紧张，因为高中的生活不再悠闲，小试大考个个都影响表现，进而影响到前途。我还记得今年初立下的壮志宏愿，不过今年不够努力，想想志愿难以达成，希望至少可得到一两科的最高分者。不是为了荣誉，而是为教导的老师、所学的东西做出成绩。

整整七天温习11项科目有些吃紧。不过我已分配好时间以浓缩方式来温习：
必须加强科(7科) ：马来西亚语、英语、中国文学、生物、物理、高级数学、历史
中等加强科 (2科)：华语、化学
轻松科 (2科) ：道德教育、普通数学

不过我不会给自己太大压力，而是转为推动力〔哈哈，突然间想起物理力动学的能量守恒定律-conversation of energy〕，学习为乐。

也因为考试近在眉梢，我将与心情小天地暂时分离。部落格，10月30日再见！

在此祝大妹和其他中三生考试顺利，也请求上苍保佑我俩身体健康，事事顺心（这样才能好好应考！）。

090926 4S1 gathering~

Today 10.30am I reached KP but I don't know where we meet, so felt abit nervous (everytime have this kind of feeling when attend gathering). But I saw yann herng was waitng at Big Apple so I went to meet with him. After that bee kee, chung lun, jia wei and others came. That time I sms-ed loon wern and knew that somebody waiting at our 1st destination, Soon Seng Bak Kut Teh, where behind KP. Then we all went together to meet with them.


We ordered bah kut teh before chit-chatting. There were among 16 persons around the big table--so it was abit crowded. When they all chit-chatted loon wern just kept quiet aside, don't know because of them? So loon wern just chatted with me but the topics were abit serious-- about future education. Haiyor..... loon wern always act to be alone at gathering. Luckily meei huey who sat left hand side of him always interrupted us and make the atmosphere be joyful. And here I also want to thank meei huey again because she poured tea for me everytime after I requested and said "斟茶", haha. Then we enjoy having bah kut teh when food was served.

After finish eating we continue our topic. Topic about homeworks was banned here because that time many of us were asking about biology presentation and chinese flash fiction, may spoil the atmosphere. "It was great to see 4 gangs together here" said zhang yik. "4 gangs? why using the terms I described in my blog?" I said. "Ya. Included kian siang who is independent with 3 gangs which attend here." "Today we must achieve One 4S1 mission today!" said chee seng and others. Lol... loon wern was just taking photos around. Then we gossiped about our teachers and laughed for fun. For those who can't catch up the topic was called different channel. Lol... 1st time heard this kind of terms. Then khoon kheng came.


Afterwards we went to KP to start our activities but some of us had different idea, some of them wanted to play pool, bowling or sing karaoke. Anyway we decided to sing karaoke 1st together 2 hours. The room was crowded because there were more than 20 persons inside. However I dislike the selection of songs here because most of songs are outdated. We sang the songs together and some of them dancing. Loon wern chose "London Bridge is Falling Down" out of our attention... Then we began to cross the "bridge" built by girls, and time was paused as we felt we were back to childhood. But we felt curious because the "bridge" can't be falling down at the end of song?! Why? forgot how to play ad? haha. Then members of chinese society left and somebody came finally.

Then we went to bowling and snooker centre but no space to us to play. Anyway we had played bowling 2 turns. There were many funny things happened that time at lane 15 and 16. Because of 1st time playing, some of us released the ball with wrong skill and loud knock was heard. Zhi xiang, who often made gutter ball in 1st turn gained strikes or spares in 2nd turn. Olivia and zhi xiang also gained strike at the beginning of game,旗开得胜, gan jiong~ I made double and finally I just gained 101 points in 2nd turn. Ray gained highest point and wen cern gained 2nd place among of us.


Next, we went to circus but most of us didn't play anything and some of them played race car. Loon wern, lonely boy played basketball and he suddenly said "yerr...why got furry ball here?" made girls laughing there XD. Someone played find 5 differences between 2 picture given (don't know what real name of game is). Then all of us surrounded 1 machine to play! With our power of observation we pass level by level until game over.

Then the girls left us to meet with their ji mui and eating. So we guys spent the time left by playing pool. Jia wei and I played blackball pool while others played other types of billiard. Finally I won jia wei, haha. Then we joined them to play nine-ball, ray & loon wern vs jia wei & I. All of us performed well and the balls were eliminated one by one. I pocketed brown ball and black ball then the last ball- 9-ball, I failed to pocket it and even striking the cue ball without hitting 9-ball... damn! the chance of free ball given to ray was returned to jia wei and jia wei pass the chance to loon wern... It's most difficult to achieve sucessful at last step to be won if we don't relax. Finally the chance was prized by loon wern and ended the game. Ray was teaching us to jump the cue ball over another ball to hit targeted ball. Learn something there, thanks ray!



It was time to attend mei cheng's open house but we guys decided to buy a gift 1st. We went to Giant to select the gift: mooncake, hamper, chocolate or maggie noodles (suggested by ray, haha). Now I realized that guys also po ma when buying something, haha. Finally we bought mooncake costed RM 62.15. Then we began the journey to mei ching's house. We still chatted and joked although the road was busy and the sky became dark. We reached the destination on 7.30 pm safely, some of classmates were there ad.



After gave buah tangan we were having our dinner and gathered in pondok beside bali pond. Then finish eating I sat aside. That time khoon kheng called me but I were suffering by muscle cramps in my right leg at sudden! Damn! How can be like that want? Thuan song helped me to treat muscle cramps and I felt better but loon wern just suan-siaoed me. Then we were taking photos together but suddenly I get cramp in my left leg! So I left them away. So sad can't took the next photos with them then and my mood was totally spoilt tonight.


Afterwards they were playing musical chair and I didn't know what this kind of game is. I thought is strong wind blow it blow what. LOL... Vivian chow was the 1st unlucky one, but she was punished with eating watermelon and posing to be taken photo. (At the second times everyone got places sit...???) Here I'm sorry because that time I left the game without informing because I scared both legs cramps and the atmosphere was too noisy and excited. So I just sat aside to watch you all playing and be punished when failed to have seat.



The game was reaching climax when zhi xiang was thrown out of circle and receiving the chair that threw by chee seng after the music was paused, in twinkling of an eye! So the victim was a little girl. "Our 4 years of friendship was not wasted to be have" said zhi xiang to thank chee seng under criticizing by everyone who wanted zhi xiang disqualified from the game. Anyway the unlucky girl was lucky to kiss her dear mom at public as punishment. Then the players were eliminated out and wei neng won the whole game after defeated a stubborn boy. Wei neng received a mooncake set as a reward and everyone was invited to finish up lut lut . They enjoyed eating lut lut and I was calling my dad to fetch me back. I left on 10.05 pm.
 Today's gathering was too sucessful because there are 33 members of 4S1 attend along this 12 hours. I was so sad because can't joined with you all that night. Well, I was enjoyed myself whole day, weren't you?



p/s: for those person who have the photos please send or upload photos to me. A picture is worth a thousand of words! And please write the event you experinced in 4S1 gathering at your blog to enrich the contents!

Fall in sick now =.=!!!

Today 1.00am to 2.00am, what are you all doing? still online or sleeping? I'm sure most of you sleeping ad, so do I. But when I went to bed I felt my throat was unwell, can't sleep well. I didn't know what should I do because my mom slept ad, don't want disturb her so I went to sleep, didn't have a nice sleep...

This morning I woke up as usual but I felt uncomfortable, my throat became very pain... and because of not enough sleep, so I told my mom about my situation and today don't want go to school. She then said will bring me to see doctor. I think it's better to rest in comfortable home than at school- noisy, smoky(near to factories) and naughty friends.

After see a doctor, I took medicine and then sleep. Now I feel better now, and may go to school ad tomorrow.
This few days my mom also falling in sick... she doesn't healthy as I getting grow up, year by year. I really hope she will get better as soon as possible~! T.T~


Medicine

m.c.
Today we're starting our new 'policy', don't know got anything happen or not. And today I didn't go to school, sure they'll think that I want to escape from it especially loon wern =.= but I'm not. Just now smsing with loon wern, he didn't sympathise my situation but said me ponteng class... Little monster!

And because of falling in sick my mood now become bad. Feel sad because mom feel unwell... Feel stress because I have a lots of work haven't done yet... Feel angry because didn't get any support but obstacles from friends~!

Let's hope I'll feel better so can back to normal life...

Diary of 11 September 2009~ Future, English, Revolution~!

Today is a last day of this study week. After recess we gained four periods free because there were no teacher or she want to do her own work in class. SWT~ I felt bored because nothing to do except chatting or actually is "arguing" with loon wern. I don't like revise study at school although the exam is around the corner...

That time guan yee showed us our co-cu reports and discussing about meeting of science society. well, I get high marks at club/society column but I started to upset because of other part. I totally desperated when loon wern counted out it (forget about it)... Now I'm worrying about future to study further. without grade A in cocu I definetely won't get scholarship which I want in future since subjects to be taken in SPM is limited and sure there will be a lots of 10 A's achievers. loon wern didn't soothe me but just irritating me. Ok fine, it's ordinary thing he did on me everytime.

Now I really feel emo now and fang kong-ing because realized that english will be most important language after I leave kwang hua. Why I didn't be active in cocu and in academic, I didn't put more effort in strengthing my foundation of english language. many many things were coming out in my mind that time. Urhhh...

Then khoon kheng who was busy for his own work asked me, "what is going on? If we're friends just tell me." sound like forcing me to tell.

"Just about my future" I said. "Your parents have given you so much money what for future..." loon wern interrupted us and I replied "I don't want touch those money." "my mom said she won't bother me and I must collect money myself for future study" Loon wern said again and I don't know how to said then.

Now we're entering september now and form 4 school life will be ended soon. I should plan and use the time left wisely for future before I regret.

I began to grumble that my english is very poor and want to do something to improve it. "I envy those who was born in english-speaking family and study in chinese school. They can cover both languages which valuable nowadays. when I communicating with family members, reading newspaper, chatting with classmates... all using chinese... haizzz" (anyway I still love chinese.)

"Your situation same with me. I also asked my mom before why my dad didn't speak english since we were young. but my mom said 'then why you didn't speak english to dad first '. no comment..." khoon kheng put his work aside and said.

"But you all must know that most of students just you said, dislike chinese." loon wern said. I agreed.

Then the chit-chat circle was hubbub by joining of ruiyun, chia voon and boon keong. we were discussing and giving opinion to improve our english level. My mood became better and forgot the trouble faced temporary when chit-chatting with them.

suddenly... "why don't we speak in engslih from now to practice?" everyone looked at me and I also don't know why the sentence came out from my mouth. Everyone then welcomed this useful policy especially loon wern because he can suan siao-ed me ad with english. But then everyone kept quiet including loon wern who always have many topic to chat, made the atmosphere weird. maybe it's weird when someone who always using chinese, but today talking english with you. lolx... and no much communicated using english, the bell rang ad and everyone said "bye" which no different in chinese, to each other. haha...

On saturday my dad asked me about want to continue subscribing Time, NG and Discovery magazines or not. I nodded my head after discussing with dad. Before that I told dad that stop subscribing because throughout of year just me reading only in my family and expensive too with paying RM 399 every year since last year starting to order. But dad said he's willingly to pay for my own good. Haha... thanks dad~!

Lastly, Gambathe for next week with new policy~!

今天不是什么大日子，但因为日期号码呈九九相依而成为有意义的一天。由于九与“久”同音，因此这一天许多新人为了讨个好意头而在今天定下婚约，希望两人相依相偎直到天荒地老，长长久久。回到校园，我祝福拥有校园恋爱的情侣能永浴爱河(很难的hor...)，保温着纯纯的恋情，青春无敌！(讲到都有点遗憾......) 在此祝有情人终成眷属。

今天对我而言当然没什么意义，依然如往常般上下课。上午8时多，抡温、瑞云和我都相约在待会儿的9时09分时许个愿。敲钟了，这时已是9时10分，我通知他们时间过了…… 我们感叹可惜，不过抡温说他的腕表仍没到9时09分，我们也跟着倒数并许愿来安慰自己。嘻嘻...... 不过我说还有晚间的9时09分，到时大家再弥补这遗憾吧。

晚上9时09分，我为自己许个愿，我希望凡事都顺顺利利，好成果长久永存(虽然不可能)；希望名字流芳百世；爱情呢，希望在未来的日子找到真爱时能长长久久，而另一伴是初恋情人，因为初恋是最难忘的恋爱，她保留了最初纯纯的爱～

在此祝福诸位过着平安的9月9日！

《偷书贼》(The Book Thief)

读了5天，终于在今天中午12时半以前读完了这本从学校图书馆借来的小说，一本字字含有意义的小说。

书名：《偷书贼》
作者：马克斯·苏萨克
页数：368页
字数：28万字
故事背景：第二次世界大战；德国贫民窟
叙述者视角：第一方 (死神)

内容简介：
9 岁小女孩莉赛尔和弟弟在战乱中被迫送到寄养家庭，但弟弟不幸死在旅途中，莉赛尔在弟弟冷清的丧礼后，她偷了一本掘墓工人的手册，为的是要纪念自己永远失去的家庭。
　　寄养家庭位在慕尼黑凋蔽贫困的区域，大人彼此仇恨咒骂，老师狠毒无情，战火时时威胁人命。莉赛尔每晚抱着掘墓工人手册入睡，恶梦不断。养父为了让她安眠，于是为她朗诵手册内容，并开始教她识字。
　　学会认字进而开始读书的莉赛尔，尽管生活艰苦，吃不饱穿不暖，却发现了一项比食物更让她难以抗拒的东西——书，她忍不住开始偷书，用偷来的书继续学习认字。从此莉赛尔进入了文字的奇妙世界，让她熬过了现实的苦难，也不可思议地帮助了周围同样承受苦难的人：读书给躲在养父家地下室的犹太人听，在空袭时为躲入防空洞中的街坊邻居朗读故事，安慰了每颗惶惶不安的心，潜移默化改变了原本粗鄙的性情。
莉赛尔逐渐长大，也过了她平淡但精彩的童年：与其他男生踢球；与好朋友鲁迪常在一块儿、偷东西。
　　对照着战场上万人之间的争夺残杀，莉赛尔藉由阅读与文字所散发的力量，让死神惊讶地睁大了眼睛，一面收取战场上的灵魂，一面思索人性的深奥：为什么人类一面展现残酷的杀戮，一面又有发自内心的关爱呢？
战争接近尾声，敌方空军向他们进行轰炸，结果莉赛尔身边的亲友的灵魂都被死神掠走了，只有她因当时在地下室而幸免于灾难......
　　多年以后，死神前去迎接莉赛尔的灵魂。死神坐在喧嚣的大马路旁，忍不住感叹道：“人哪！人性萦绕我的心头不去！人性怎能同时间如此光明，又如此邪恶！”

读后感：
我对作者以细腻的写作手法描绘出主人翁莉赛尔在二战期间经历的种种事务感到钦佩，虽然莉赛尔尚小，但她却以纯真的心过着战火连天的年代。作者描写的背景，在我阅读的当儿想像了其背景，让我对此小说有更深的印象。

由于此小说以平民的角度叙述二战历史，深深吸引了喜爱阅读历史的我。作者在小说中讽刺当时德国本土对于法西斯主义(fascism)和希特勒“元首”(Adolf Hitler) 统治的绝对服从和狂热追捧，以及揭发战争的祸害，包括对犹太族(the Jews)的屠杀。这本书以死神的角度探视人类残酷的本性，揭发愚蠢狂热的人类本性。

师生之争～

Serojak ~

我最憎有保守思想的人。他们不会与时并进，只会忠于自己想法，虽然他的想法完全与理论相反。

今天经过悠闲的两节课后，道德节来了。对于还没交folio的学生，各个无奈摇头，像死刑犯准备接收老师的处分，虽然心中有百般不愿...... 如大家所料，karipap老师严肃地叫昨天没承交folio的学生罚站，原以为只是训话......

结果平地一声雷，karipap老师手高举PSP扣分记录书，要“赐”2分给这些学生。大马行情就是这样，老师在课堂最大，学生只好乖乖就范。我也是局中人，我深感无奈及愧疚：无奈老师采取的强硬态度；愧疚自己怪老师的错。我们排队受刑，报上身份证号码，签下名，留了污点。karipap老师就这样夺走我的第一次！幸免的学生不语地观察局势，眼神是同情、事不关己，抑或是幸灾乐祸。

事成后，我回座位。一阵风平浪静，这时前处发生骚动......

涉案人：保守主义者阿瀚与karipap老师
地点 ：巴生光华国中4S1班老师座位
时间 ：约上午9时20分
导火线：阿瀚因不满老师对其“伤害自尊”&担心前途
目击者：45名4S1同学&德国朋友

事情经过：
阿瀚在未受刑时暗中对老师抱怨，轮到他时，由于强烈自尊及相信是担心污点影响前途而拒签，并向老师解释理由。理由是“相机已经坏了，无法拍照完成作业”。老师不满他的理由，举出“我已给你们6个月时间的准备”王牌，并对他“半年时间内相机没修好”感到费解，以问某学生如何解决他说“借学生的”讽刺他强词夺理。

局势发展：
阿瀚为了捍卫自己的人权，不断与老师争执。结果karipap越来越辣，责问他的行为。形势陷入僵局，课堂上笼罩着诡异的气氛，连几个叽咋学生异常静了下来。而我没理会它。

结局：
阿瀚虽心有不甘，但词穷，硬着头皮签下名。接下来学生也签上大名，包括另一名针对此事评论的抡温。(请浏览http://tanloonwern.blogspot.com/2009/09/4s1-buzz-pen-is-mightier-than-sword.html#comments)

后续发展&意见：

(当事人)
阿瀚气呼呼回座位，无辜的计算机成为出气筒。根据其邻居的说词，他直骂karipap老师“做么S酱就扣分的” “我一定会跟她争到底” “他以为它是警察啊?!酱写我们的IC” 等等火星语。karipap老师事后也发表意见：“我对你们朋友的行为感到失望及不满......” “说什么我不理智(irrational)”话中明显地影射阿瀚。他们的斥责一个在明，一个在暗，完全没有交锋。

(同学)
大家都对此事议论纷纷。下课时我班男生在食堂聊起此事，有不满karipap老师，也有嘲笑阿瀚的无知。虽然此事乃小事，相信其他班级的学生将知道。而抡温买currypuff来吃 (打小人的另一种方式？)


咖哩角～ 好吃～！

(本人)
对于此事，虽然karipap老师的做法令人发指，但大家只能敢怒不敢言。另外，我无法苟同阿瀚的做法。身为4S1班的学生，遭到扣分处置乃天下大事，不过得尊师重道呀。他无知的做法只让我觉得他没有“礼义廉耻”中的“耻”。所谓“无羞恶之心，非人也”！

Last day for 10-days holiday

Yesterday was 52nd Independence Day of Peninsular of Malaysia

"Merdeka~!" I love Malaysia although she still has a lots of problems.

so we'd one more holiday and

father took us to KLCC to visit BookFest '09

again it was 2nd times I visit there

It was different with other day I came

because of the last day,

many book distributors gave offers for clearance

it's worth visiting there at last day for bibliophiles~!

Since I'd bought many books from China-Taiwan-Hong Kong Pavilion

yesterday I just bought malaysian-publishing books

I think it's better I read local chinese books first

because non-local one are too difficult to understand

I mean learning something step by step and knowing

from "internal"(our own) to "external"(other 'culture')

Among 7 books, 5 books are about political criticism :

Authored States: Musings of Jama by Jamaluddin Ibrahim《迦玛笔下》 RM20

Political Fables by Tay Tian Yan RM23

Standing on the Cliff (Chinese version) 《站在悬崖上》RM 23

Standing on the Cliff (English version) = FREE

Mahathir's Selected Letters to World Leaders RM18.90

Literature book:

《此物最相思》by 张曼娟 RM 17.60

《长短调》by 朵拉 RM20

Discount RM5.00

Total = RM 117.50 only~

My favourites~!

At the other side my family members attend to listen the talk organized by Tzu Chi

I didn't attend there but what I know is the atmosphere was occupied with harmony

and many people donated money to 88 Taiwan typhoon after the talk

my mom bought two books from there, RM 36

静、思、语～！

I was thinking that I'd visit all sections of book fair ad

so I window-shopped in KLCC mall

I came to Kinokuniya bookshop which is only one at Malaysia~

inside Kinokuniya ~

I felt nothing special inside because its decoration and

atmosphere are same like other bookshops

but then I was attracted when I entered Japanese part~!

There are many japanese books and photobooks arranged at racks

although I don't know about japanese but I was excited

because I love Japan so muchhh~!

There were japanese also choosing the books

I decide I want to learn japanese if have chance.

Must~!

On 5.00pm we came back from KL to Klang

the parking fee was RM16.50 and met traffic jam~!

spoilt my mood...

Anyway, I was enjoying the last day of holidays~
