Hi honey! I'm baaacckkkkk!!!

Currently having a mid sem break! Finally!!! A real holiday where you can just lie down on the floor and stare at the ceiling just to waste time :D Ahhhh this is the life. The school holiday during CNY and in March shouldn't be called holiday at all because we still had to do school related things and assignments and stress ourselves over them. Hmmm that so called holiday! Okay so we have 2 weeks of holiday since last Thursday. Today's another Thursday already. Omg. What have I been doing the whole week? T.T *Ehem* As I was saying... counting down to the dreadful Moanday (starting of the third sem)... another 11 more days =='

Should have blogged sooner but I was too busy doin... ermmm.... I was... uhhh... idk. Seriously. Time just flew pass me. Anyway, I shall start blogging again... soon... because I don't have to attend school for now... ummm yeah. Hopefully I will update... tomorrow? Hhahhaahahaha

Kthanksbye

Orientation like no other

Its time!!! For the little ones to come in. Hahahha... To Form 6 that is. Yes, back to the same hideous uniforms and you thought finishing Form 5 marks the end of wearing school uniforms huh? But uniforms aren't that bad. You don't have to fuss about what to wear to school.

This year's juniors look very normal. I mean there's no outstandingly pretty or handsome guys la. Hahahaha. There's more good looking people in our senior's batch. Everyone's looking for pretty girls and handsome guys so that they can pick them to be their foster juniors.

High School Klang is a very old and historical school. Very well known for being the top in many competitions - academically and in co-curricular. But unlike other schools, (i think) STK really has the most outrageous tradition. Especially during the Orientation Week.

 This year's theme is rabbits. Hence the carrot up there.

For one, there's this Mentor and Mentee thing, in which the Upper Six seniors are called Fosters while the Lower Six are called Juniors. The seniors act as a older brother/sister to guide their juniors. Juniors can go their fosters about anything, about the school, teachers, seniors, subjects, co-curriculum, etc. Basically I think it's like a program rakan sebaya move, to allow the students to be more comfortable and can talk to someone their age, but in this case, someone older who is more mature and wiser. 

MPPPU which stands for Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar Pra Universiti or MPP for short is in charged of the Orientation Week. They are the emcee, the host and the runners. These people are really brutal. Only to the juniors. Part of the hierarchy because everyone was tortured by their seniors last year. Juniors are frequently reprimanded to greet their seniors, MPP and non-MPP members with a loud "good morning, senior!" *Most of them, like 90% of them do not greet me* :( sad die me

Costumes. Yeap... Last year (when my batch was a junior back then) they had to make an owl. This year's one is way easier to make - a rabbit. Juniors this year were given a pink manila card and a yellow A4 paper for their rabbit costume. Instructions given to them : Draw red eyes. Some came with white eyes. Kena panggil. MPP scolds them for not following instruction. Some with really ugly tails. One guy strung them into a long tail. Wtf? Since when rabbits have long tails like monkeys? But I personally think that red eyed bunnies are scary though.  Some were also called up for not wearing their costume. Also, they have to wear them for the entire Orientation Week! If it spoils, you gotta fix it. If it gets missing, you've had it. Seriously, its like the army cause if you lose your weapon, prepare to lose your head. 

 

Tsk tsk tsk. How does that look like a bunny's tail?

Their bunny ears are really cute. Some stand straight up, some just hang down, some fold inwards, some outwards. Gahhhh cuteness overload

Some idiot drew cat/snake eyes. Scariest looking rabbit. Pictured above are the 2 outstanding Signature Books. The rest are just normal or ugly (i.e. no effort put in at all)

Next, the Signature Book! and of course, the candy-giving session is part of this ritual. On the first day of school, all the juniors will be given a manual to help them know the school a little better. Things like the school's address, office number, email, blogsite, vision, mission, motto, teachers, subjects offered. What's different here is that the whole list of the seniors' names are included. All for them to use for the Signature Book. So in this Signature Book, they have to write ALL the teachers and seniors name, with proper segregation as to which faculty and/or class they are from and leave some space after each name for them to sign in it. MPP demanded that they use half of an A4 paper for each page. And since there's so many teachers and seniors in our school, the Signature Book will come to roughly as thick as an exercise book. But you can't buy a book and fill in the names. No! It has to be half of a FREAKING A4 PAPER! MPP's really strict btw. Bigger than that or small than that and you'll be called out. Poor bunnies. And they only have a day to finish it, together with their costume.

Having done the signature book, they have to get signatures in them. 

 Well, the aim for this is for them is to get to know the seniors of the school but *ehem* the purpose for this is forgotten. Me thinks. It's very much like Christmas where most kids remember the gifts part, but forgets the part where it is to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. As I was saying, the juniors were told the day before to bring lots of candies in order to get signatures. It's like this :

         Junior : Senior, please sign my book
         Senior : Candies first. No candy, no signature   

Moral of the story, bring candies to butter up your seniors. And speaking from experience, it's a sad case when some of the juniors didn't bring any candies or ran out of them. This candy giving time can only be described in one word. CHAOS. People walking/running here and there, everyone's screaming for candies, pushing and pulling, plus the hot weather = excessive sweatings and that's very disgusting. Some guys' shirts got so drenched in their own sweat that it sticks to their body. *shivers*

This is the rational and matured side of me speaking : This practice is probably hoping to see juniors getting to know their fosters and then also the other seniors. So I have failed. For I can't even remember my junior's name and I might also have forgotten how he looks like already. And I don't know anything about him except that he's from Kwang Hua (I am guessing this because I don't know which school he is from and also because I didn't take a proper look at his costume) But I doubt anyone get to know each other because the situation was so chaotic what with everyone rushing to get at least 60 signatures before the time is up. Seriously, it was like we were in a wet market.

Scene 
Senior1 : Eh, you sign my (actually it's the junior's) book already or not?
Senior2 : No. Oh come! *exchange book with other senior* You look for your name and sign and I will do the same
Junior : Good morning, senior!
Senior3 : CANDY CANDY! GIMME CANDY NOW!

Am feeling very silly now for demanding for candies from juniors. And also for carrying my school bag along to contain all the candies. But on the bright side, CANDIES!!!! :D I somehow managed to get so many that I think I can really go to a local hospital to distribute them to the sick children already. 

Some juniors just loathe this idea and there are some who thinks that this is lame and/or ridiculous. Caught some who didn't write everyone of the seniors name (my name).

          Junior : Senior aka me, please sign my book
          Me : Okay, give me candies ahhhh *looks for my name*
                 *can't find my name*
                 *realized that they skipped my name*
                 *sad*

And then there are some who are too quiet and shy. When I praised them for their nice handwriting or nice looking Signature Book, some just stood there like a rabbit. Silent. No emotion. Of course there's still polite and seng mok ones who replied with a loud "thank you, senior!"  

There's this one junior who stitched his book to bind them together.
 
       Me : Wahhh Ehhh so niceeee!!! So cool leh. You sew your book!
       Junior : Oh. Thank you senior! I teach you how to stitch la.
       Me : *inner thoughts* wah this junior really know how to socialize with people!

Quite sad that there's no familiar faces :'( NONE. NADA! NAHI! MEI YOU! X ADA! Oh well, life goes on. I'll just meet more new people then! Can't spot any bananas also. Please, if there's any bananas out there, among the juniors, please voice out! *wind blows*

OMG there's so only 2 pictures in this post (that I took myself) I don't even! I shall update more on this next time. Haven't receive the pictures that I personally took. Gahhhh I took a few nice pictures. Sodamnproud Icantwaittoseethem. Kthanksbye

May the month of May Be Brighter

So far, May hasn't been exactly a beautiful month. And currently, its only the first or second week. Idk. We have more sad colours for the week like Black Monday instead of the usual blue monday or monday blues. Last Monday, our school was off because it was the Anugerah Kecemerlangan + Carnival thingy the day before (Sunday). It was still a sucky moanday (Moan-day.... get it? get it? Hahahha I'm so farney) because we have our STPM trials on Tuesday.

Yesterday was also a Monday, and also a holiday but it wasn't an enjoyable one. You all also know why already lah. No need to explain. Next week will be another week closer to the actual day of STPM. Andddd!!! Also the anniversary for the infamous 13th May. That's a deathly day. I heard that there are plans to start a war on that very same day. ZOMG! Please no war! And the next next week from now will be the actual day of STPM. *deep sighs* 

Well, on the brighter side, the juniors are coming in tomorrow!!! :D I'm so excited *as of now* because I like the idea of being a big sister. Whispers : I think I'll do a better job at this big-sister-thing than my sister Woot woot~ Also because we can bully them! MUAHAHAHAH!!! I'm just hoping that there'll be more bananas! Bananas of the world unite!

Kay. Bye. Need. To. Get. On. With. My. Life

Malaysia's Very Own Earth Day

If, for our exam in our upcoming STPM asks us to write positive things about Malaysia, I will just hand in an empty paper. We used to be able to at least write about how so many different races can live together in peace, how diverse and beautiful each culture is, how we have so many different types of food to eat, how we are safe from most natural disasters (i.e. volcano eruptions, earthquakes, twisters, etc) and how our country is safe from political crisis (unlike what happened in Thailand what with the Red Shirt protests). 

Now? The dirtiness of the country's politics has overcome all the good things we had. As we learned in Pengajian Am, our country practices democracy which actually means "a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives." quoted from Wikipedia. It seems like Malaysia has already re-defined the meaning of democracy with all the dirty tricks. All my life, I've never really liked politics, always skipping the politics section when reading the newspaper because I know our politicians make empty promises just to gain followers. 

Politics in Malaysia now is a big joke. So many memes are on my Facebook news feed.
How BN Will Win the Malaysian Elections 

First, there's the phantom voters issue. Some people who lived in Malaysia for over 50 years have yet to receive their identification card wherelse those foreign workers who has only step foot in Malaysia for a few months already got theirs. 

 This guy was very famous in Facebook yesterday. Hhahahahaha

There's news about vans, trucks and buses bringing these foreign workers to vote in certain areas. Heck! There's even multiple videos being shared online. In some areas, the big crowd managed to prevent them from voting, while in some areas, the policemen were helping the phantom voters. Apparently, they were even escorted and the gates were closed to ensure that they get to vote safely. Proof is on Facebook, Youtube and everywhere else except those pro-government medias (newspapers, radio stations, and tv stations like DUHHH!)

Thus, the new name for our country, Banglasia. TROLOLOLOL

But seriously, we have to stop blaming them. And calling them Banglas because they are as human as us. Difference is, they're living in such desperate situations and so happens, they were offered a better life/opportunity. A promise that they will get nationality and some amount of money if they just voted for some certain parties. Of course, there's no 100% proof to this allegations, but there's no proof to say otherwise as well right? So, instead of hurting the phantom voters, we should turn our attention to the people who employ them.

Also, the so-called indelible ink. Yeah, Its supposed to be un-removable but somehow, it just comes out without the need of any scrubbings. My mum's inked finger was much cleaner after some basic house chores like cooking and cleaning. No toothpaste or any solvents, just normal dish detergent and soap. And god knows how much the government spent to buy it. The prove is in your hands. Or at least fingers... Hahahha 

Someone commented that his friend can't go to school for days because 

he drew on his face... using permanent marker pen

Next! Magic. The opposition party was leading, and then there was a blackout. Mysteriously, bags of uncounted votes appeared and then the votes were recounted. The government then leads with a small margin. Wow! *thumbs up* Hahahhahaa Look at all these memes.

 

And what's with the sudden protest about we Chinese people should go back to China? We are born here, in Malaysia just like those who claim that we are ungrateful to the government. Please lah. What have you done for our country to earn the rights to chase us out of our own country? Nothing right? Why are some people so oblivious and shallow and ignorant? Its too obvious that this election is not fair. In fact, the past few elections are indeed messed with.

Lai lai lai. Let's laugh our heads off with more memes

Some people post things like "Queen Elizabeth, please help us" or "Obama, our election is unfair". What will all that do? Other countries cannot interfere with another country's politics. Besides, we don't want to be dijajah again, do we? Instead, we should all bring this issue to the United Nations. And of course, some parts of the world has already acknowledge our 13th General Election.

This is the news on CNN

 Youtube

Google

If you noticed, many Facebook-ers changed their profile picture to a black one, it's because of the mysterious blackouts that magically changes the results. It also means that darkness has conquered and our future is darkened. Because democracy is not democracy anymore.

I may be young and I may not know who to vote now (if give the chance), but I do know that I won't want a government who resorts to dirty tricks just to stay in power. I will absolutely not stand any injustice. If you think you're going to lose, prepare your yourself emotionally and mentally and accept the results like a man lah! I want a clean re-election! This time, without any lights out or outside votes. And also a non-biased invigilator. If you win fairly, I will accept the results and stfu.

I am usually too busy procrastinating and would not have the time to update my blog but this is too big an event to miss blogging about. This is an important date to remember, to ensure a cleaner country. And unlike other people who apologize if they offend anyone, I shall not! It's like feeling sorry for being real. We all have brains to think and we should be able to express our thoughts freely. Don't agree what I'm saying? Fine, we're just having differences in our way of thinking. Just close this page and go read something that you like to read. I am expressing myself and I will not let anyone tell me how to or how not to think!

BIG, LARGE, HUGE, ENORMOUS, HUMONGOUS... balloons.....

aka HOT AIR BALLOONS! :D I got the chance to go to the International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Putrajaya back in March. OMG! Now only I'm blogging about it. #fail
This year is the 5th year running already and of course a lot of people also went la. Cause the admission fee is FREE. Cause the word FREE attract us, Malaysians like how sugar attracts ants. This event was only for 4 days [there's 2 sessions each day, the morning one at 7.30am and the evening one at 5.30pm] and I happened to go on the wrong day. And wrong time? 

Arrived there with dark clouds looming over our heads, after some time it rained (heavily T.T) and then it was okay already. Reach the place by around 4 something? (idk, can't really remember) And one of our main reasons to go there is because we heard that we can pay some money to sit on the hot air balloon. Which will go up in the air okay? Not just sit there at ground level. Zzzzzzz Wellllll, according to the website, visitors can start going up at 6pm but the counters will open at 5pm and tags (with numbers) will be given out 30mins before the counters open, which is at 4.30pm. [Only 300 tickets will be sold per session] So we thought that if we reach there by 4 it'll be okay but we were dead wrong man.



Turns out that the line was so long we initially couldn't see the end of it. Our eyes slowing trace the line and it already stretched halfway around a field. *Some people start queueing up as early as 4am wtf?* Okay lo, nemermind! We just hang around waiting for the hot air balloons to get inflated up (is that the right term anyway?) Some youngsters came up with the genius idea of renting simple equipments to make giant bubbles.

The free giant bubble. See how dark the sky is? >:(

All it takes is only 2 sticks tied/connected to a thick and long piece of rope and dipped into the soapy solution. You just have to hold the sticks apart and wait for the wind to do its thing. Just remember to stand at the right position. Impossible to blow a giant bubble out using your own breathes. Trust me, I've tried. Felt so stupid.

The 2 little monsters cousins trying them out

One of the spectacular views of that day! Btw, we got to try out the big-golf-ball-look-a-like-thingy. It's called the Hamster Roll according to the website.

Grass sticking to the ball because it rained heavily before we got the the Extreme Zone. Its very stuffy inside there but other than that, its fun especially when you fall. One of the staff guided us across the area, and then we have to move the ball to the starting point. The adults watching over us told us that I looked very funny when I fell down because my body just sort of stuck to the walls while it rolled. They said they were laughing too hard to take a picture. -_-

Mountain Dew gave out free samples and also sold them at a very low price *happy*

So after that we were strolling around and then we spotted a spot with a big orange thing. Went closer to take a look and it was a hot air balloon ready to be inflated up :D Number 21 and 22 are from China. The orange one was a cat while the other one (Number 21) is a colourful one. Prepare to be amazed! HAHAHAHA

You're welcome... for being able to witness such an amazing sight. Stood there trying not to move so that I can get these pictures and string them up into 1

It's finally up!!! :D Ahhhh like a new born baby :')

LOOK AGAIN.... TAKE A SECOND LOOK... IT'S NOT A PICTURE OF ONLY TREES AT THE BOTTOM.... NOTICE THE 4 MICRO-TINY BLACK DOTS? 

Yeah. They're paragliders.... 

TADAHHHHH!!! :D

 

 Yes yes... my extremely dry ends :'(

 Lego, Mich and Lucas

Here are some other balloons. ENJOY~!!! :) 

 

Nice right? Nice right? Hhahahahahha

#asiansatwork #donotdisturb #whysoserious #hahahaha #thatface

Lots of shutterbugs and DSLR *drools*

There's the Putrajaya bridge (does anyone else thinks it looks like the Penang bridge?)

Ishhh!!! Didn't get the chance to go try rock-climbing. Also because only little kids go up. Dunno if it's only for kids or what

More balloons! We were there until it turns dark

If you think this is scary, wait till you see it when it is litted up

Very scary hor? Somemore got fake hair at the side. Nightmares

The three wise monkeys! :D

NOTE : All the pictures above are taken using my phone only. *soproud*
Because my camera KO-ed.

Okay. The end. Kthanksbye. I should really go to bed now
