A statement in my haste of time ..

The world was never meant to remember the positive ...
It was fucking hellbent on remembering the negative and always exploiting it ..

Whether or not you realize .. it is true ..

R.I.P. The one and the only one .. Michael Jackson

At 2.25am on the 25th of June , there was a passing of a great icon of the world .. The one .. the only .. Michael Jackson ..

The King of Pop..

In action ..

His passing is a great mourning to all of us .. His works .. the spirit .. the change he brought .. will all be cherished above others ..

He will not be forgotten .

RIP Michael Jackson ..

Cameron Highlands Leadership Camp ..Day 1

Right ..
On the 11-13 June .. a group of librarians from SMK Seafield had their leadership camp in Cameron highlands with two notorious lecturers? tutors ? i dunno .. instructors ..

Mr Lim !!! ( Excrutiator )

Justin ( the Right Hand )

Dun ask me what they are doing .. but they work well as a pair ..

Okay , on the first day we boarded the bus at about 10 am and were introduced to Mr Lim and Justin .. A pair of torturers whose motto was ' We torture others so others cannot torture us ' ( Sorry Shawn , couldn't resist copying Vlad's torturers motto ) We stopped at Tapah for out lunch and continued on to Cameron Highlands .. Winding road ... I was reading Sejarah for the fun of it .. lol .. ended up a bit dizzy ... lol ..

Dizzy .. let me sleep .. lol ..

Reached Cameron at about 3 .. Went to out apartments .. Royal Lily Apartment .. I shared a room with Saw Wei Zhi , Woo Jian Shen , Beh Khai Tsen , Ng Jun Kang , Yi An , Tham Wilsern , Loong Yi and Loong Kuan .. mad .. Wilsern brought a woofer but we rarely used it .. Refreshed ourselves before heading to the bus to go to another place where the torture begins ..

5.00 ..
We reached a hall somewhere in Cameron .. rest assured its near Brinchang and Tanah Rata ( where we stayed ) .. The hall was where the leadership camp was focused on .. Divided into groups , we had to make a team name and flag ..
-Da R@inBow -
1. Rishebashni ( leader )
2. Lim Jit Qi ( assistant )
3. Chang Ching Wei
4. Beh Khai Tsen
5. Yan Ting
6. Aziem Nadirah
7. Amirah
8. Loong Yi
9. Woo Mei Yen

Our team name ... Da Rainbow ..
Our flag ..

Rainbow y'all ..!

Notorious 9

BOMBAZTIQUE

Thats the 3 teams ..
Next we had to explain what the name and flag represents ...
Ours was fairly straight forward ..

Me doing my bit on explanation ..

Esther asking us a question ..

BOMBS!!!!

The Notorious 9 !

Now .. we had a sport in which we have to pass a string around with our hands linked together .. lol .. we had to make it under 1 minute on the third attempt .. the loser would have no fishballs and prawns for the upcoming steamboat dinner .. lol ..

Sorry Bombaztique ..

Still each team had prawns and fishballs .. nothing to worry about ..

My team

Notorious 9

Bombaztique and the teacher-facilitator table

Me and Jit Qi

Wei Zhi , Yi An , Jian Shen

Very full after that .. went back to the apartment after that ...

lol ...

Wei Zhi feels left out ..

And that's it for day 1 ..
Will find more time to dish out day 2
till then ..

Destroyed

I have reached a point in my life where i really have to pick myself up again .. This sucks ..



I have managed to get myself in a position where i have failed several important examinations ...
1. BM
2. Sejarah
3. Chemistry
4. Physics
5. Biology ( most probably )
6. EST

All this .. failing to achieve the right grades .. and guess what ?
Some people still can say that my marks were satisfactory ..
How i would like to contradict them ....
Anyway , i just wanted to post this to remind myself that i have met my biggest failure in 16 years of life .. And there will be more to come .. as i delve deeper into the realm of emotionless state .. and depression ...

Will post the Cameron trip with the librarians as soon as i can get my hands on the pics .. Much to talk about and show .. including my video on snoring ( kudos Jun Kang ) and my performance with Wei Zhi and Jun Kang and Jian Shen .. unfortunately beatboxing in open air with no mikes makes it have no sound at all .. huah .. or maybe i have failed that too ..

This is the new song by Linkin Park .. Its called New Divide and yet again Linkin Park as the honor of having a song as the main theme song of the much-expected movie Transformers ..
Watch it .. and think to yourself ..

HAS LINKIN PARK LOST ANY OF THEIR EDGE ??

I don't think so ..

Triumph in the MSA National U-18 Scrabble Tournament

Yeah.. it was sort of a victory for me ...
As of the first day i was placed third and was up against Scott for Round 9 ..
Lost badly ..
But i covered the lose quickly in the next two games before losing by 7 points to 'Suanne-terminator' Ker Jen Ho . Haihz .. won the last three games ..
Just during lunch that day ( before the round 13 game ) , Ram was commenting on how if i get Nasrom ( upcoming newbie ) in the last round .. things would be better ... At the last round , guess who i played with ? Muhammad Nasrom !! Ram's prediction came true !! lolZ

Round 9 -15
9. Scott Chung [ lose 272-475 ]
10. Gan Han Yang [ win 469-350 ]( repeat starts KOTH )
11. Teo Wee Seong [ win 502-319 ]
12. Ker Jen Ho [ lose 394-401 ]
13. Alvin Lau [ win 449-404 ]
14. Teo Wee Seong [ win 397-369 ]
15. Muhammad Nasrom [ win 638-271 ]

Overall result ..
11 wins - 4 loses
My first gargantuan spread of +1243
Average score - 413.1
Average opponent score - 354.3
Bingoes- 26
Performance - average

Was never below Table 6 since round 4 :)

Now about the Ramaraj ..
Can the teenager who has been dubbed the next 'Juggernaut' be stopped ? .. Well a small hiccup by Suanne wasn't enough to stop him from getting 14 wins and leading the pack by 3 wins .... his spread a monstrous +18oo++
Ramaraj has proven that he has the strength and the mind to make Scrabble his forte even when he has lack of training due to the recently ended mid year examinations .. he has beaten Bangkok Cup winner Ong Suanne two times and WSC hopeful Scott Chung 3 times in the tournament .. What's to say he can't be the next 'Juggernaut' ?

Top 6
1. Ramaraj a/l Sundraraj ( 14/15 )
2. Chang Ching Wei ( 11/15 )
3. Ker Jen Ho ( 11/15 )
4. Scott Chung ( 11/15 )
5. William Kang ( 11/15 )
6. Ong Suanne ( 10/15 )

I was second because of my last game .. lolz .. had 1243 spread whereas Ker Jen Ho had 1156 spread .. lol ..

I was so tired on Sunday that i slept at 9.30pm ... a onetime feat which i hope not to repeat .. lol ..

Scrabble Tournament Day 1

Ah ..
The first day of the tournament has ended .. OMG .. i thought i would be behind the pack of upcoming youngsters and due to lack of training .. i would be at least at tenth spot ..

Instead after Round 8 , I'm at 3rd place with 6 wins and 2 loses .. at first place is Ramaraj ( my mentor ) at full wins and on 2nd , Ong Suanne with 7 wins ..

1. Ramaraj ( 8/8 )
2. Ong Suanne ( 7/8 )
3. Chang Ching Wei ( 6/8 )
4. Alvin Lau ( 6/8 )
5. Scott Chung ( 6/8 )

Right now , Ram is mad .. he has high game of 788 points and high word of 154 ( TYROSINE [ the anagram is SEROTINY ] ) and he has beaten Ong Suanne and Scott Chung , the other two biggest threats .. so , he's virtually clear for awhile ..

I am doing quite bad actually in these 8 rounds
1. Marcus Loke [ win 433-342 ]
2. Teo Wee Seong [ win 390-304 ]
3. Sue Wye Hong [ win 549-234 ]
4. Tan Kar Hee [ win 417-365 ]
5. Alvin Lau [ win 395-358 ]
6. Ramaraj [ lose 407-486 ]
7. Stephanie [ win 455-182 ]
8. Ong Suanne [ lose 390-454 ]

Marcus Loke , Wee Seong , Alvin Lau , Kar Hee , Ram and Suanne are masters while Wye Hong is just an average school player .. Stephanie is a beginner .. So .. okla .. Spread of +711

Playing Scott Chung tomorrow .. nervous .. probability of winning is 30-70 .. i have to win ..

LOLZ ..

Beautiful - Eminem

Eminem makes his comeback to the scenes with his new album and a mini skit with Cohen ( Borat actor ) in the MTV awards 2009 ..

One of his best songs in his album , Relapse , is Beautiful and mark you , its a seriously touching song .. It shows that Eminem still has his flows even if others don't like the rest of his songs ...

Beautiful - Eminem
[Intro]
Lately I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me
Are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me
I'm reaching out for you

[Verse 1]
I'm just so fucking depressed, I just can't seem to get out this slump
If I could just get over this hump, but I need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises, took my lumps, fell down and I got right back up
But I need that spark to get psyched back up, in order for me to pick the mic back up
I don't know how or why or when, I ended up in this position I'm in
I'm startin' to feel distant again, so I decided to just pick this pen
Up to try to make an attempt to vent, but I just can't admit
Or come to grips with the fact that I may be done with rap, I need a new outlet
And I know some shits so hard to swallow, but I just can't sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow, but I know one fact, I'll be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow, I'll be one tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow, but you got to walk a thousand miles

[Chorus]
In my shoes, just to see, what it's like to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes, just to see what it'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine, go inside eachothers minds
Just to see, what we find, look at shit through eachothers eyes
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

[Verse 2]
I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humour
Everything's so tense and gloom, I
Almost feel like I gotta check the temperature of the room
Just as soon as I walk in, It's like all eyes on me, so I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that it then it opens the door for conversation, like I want that
I'm not looking for extra attention, I just wanna be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room, maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I don't need no fuckin' man servant, tryna follow me around and wipe my ass
Laugh at every single joke I crack, and half of them ain't even funny, like "AAHHHHH!
Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damn!"
Unfortunately I am, I just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why don't you all sit down, listen to the tale I'm about to tell, hell
We don't gotta trade our shoes, and you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles

[Chorus]
In my shoes, just to see, what it's like to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes, just to see what it'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine, go inside eachothers minds
Just to see, what we find, look at shit through eachothers eyes
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

[Verse 3]
Nobody asked for life to deal us with these bullshit hands we're dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves, and flip them, don't expect no help
Now I could of either just sat on my ass, and pissed and moaned
Or take this situation in which geI'm placed in, and t up and get my own
I was never the type of kid to wait by the door and pack his bags
Or sat on the porch and hoped and prayed for a dad to show up who never did
I just wanted to fit in in every single place, every school I went
I dreamed of being that cool kid even if it meant acting stupid
Aunt Edna always told me, keep making that face til it gets stuck like that
Meanwhile I'm just standing there holding my tongue, tryna talk like BLEGH!
Then I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at eight years old
I learned my lesson then, 'cause I wasn't trying to impress my friends no more
But I already told you my whole life story, not just based off my description
Cause where you see it form where you're sitting, is probably 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a miles in each others shoes at least
What size you wear, I wear 10's, let's see if you can fit your feet

[Chorus]
In my shoes, just to see, what it's like to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes, just to see what it'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine, go inside each others minds
Just to see, what we find, look at shit through each others eyes
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

[Outro]
Lately I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me
Are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me
I'm reaching out for you

Yeah, to my babies, stay strong, dad will be home soon
And to the rest of the world... God gave you them shoes, to fit you
So put them on and wear them... be yourself man, be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny... don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
