primary schoolmate gathering decided @ almost 2am thru msn

[made a big contrast with dark coloured shirt for CNY decoration]

sometimes we have to follow our feelings and instinct to make a decision.

accidentally met ryan in msn,accidentally knew he wanna meet yipeng.3 of us then decided to meet up on the day.

16Jan2008
2.00am: venue and time decided.
4.00pm: our meeting time.
4.01pm: ryan arrived.
4.05pm: yipeng called said will arrive in 15 minutes.
4.08pm: me arrived.
4.39pm: yipeng baru appear.><"

well..i came back straight frm nottingham.having only rm18 in pocket.(cilaka ktm touch 'n' go wasted me rm10 to reload lrt card and missed ktm)

then decided to go starbucks. spent rm15.25 on grande java chip.-hengrui's recommendation. now,only rm2.75 in pocket and sitting in starbucks.

minum-ed and chatted. really nice to recall back all the stupid things we did together b4.how naive we are when we're young.i'm still young.

things we "discussed" :
-games we played.
-places we went.
-silly classmates.
-the salted mango and fatmou gardenia bread in science class.
-memorable moments and nicknames and rumours.
-black out at hotel during class trip when someone poured milo powder in a electrical kettle.
-yipeng's lousy school after she left chong hwa.

[after gathering, we still blame the arm]

[while suddenly realized we havent take picture]

[never seen ppl as ganas as this one.dunno how many packets of pepper]

[chicken burger 'transformed' to pepper burger]

lots of old memories and laughters.

i cherish the moment we spent time together.Is really good to still keep in touch with primary school playmates.

me @ youth'09

participated in a photography contest during youth'09 event last weekend. The competition is played as a knockout game---only winners of the rounds get chance to participate in the second round.

each participant is given 30 minutes to shoot 10 photos relevant to the theme set by organiser shutterasia. Among 10 photos,choose 5 best photos to compete with his/her rival.

at first,i dont think my skill and creativity is good enough to join the game until the end.
But surprisingly, i'm better than what i thought myself to be and i went until the semi-final round and be 1 of the 8 ppl who stayed up for the competition. Luckily they judged more on creativity and relevance than skill, if not i think i would have been "ting" off in round 1.

i still think that it was my luck to be able to stay in the contest after i joined for 3 rounds.Until i beat 2 of my rivals to become the winner of round 4 in my group. Then i lost in round 5. One more win to bring back home a camera as prize!!!(i must always mention this)

round 1 theme 1 :red
round 2 theme 2 :action
round 3 theme 3 :taste
round 4 theme 4 :friends
round 5 theme 5 :surprise

prizes:-
first place : nikon D40x worth rm2000++,if i get it sell it then no need to fundraise so hard lorr.
second place : nikon cool pix camera worth rm1000++
third place : nikon cool pix camera worth rm700++
fourth place : nikon cool pix camera worth rm389

see my photos.Only the nice ones.

[BMW to win @ youth '09]

[grafitti. i suppose is an eye]

[this shoot inspired me to take sports photo]

[proud of this shoot]

[nicest photo of the day.i think]

[i took the photo but din buy the cake.]

[while ppl shooting chicken burger.i took this]

Although i din manage to carry the camera home
--which i will sell it to fundraise for expedition fees,
i definately learned sth thoughout the whole competition.
1. my first approach to strangers and require them to pose for me. and follow the pose i taught them.
2. photography needs to use brain a lot. Creativity.
3. photography can train muscle...--i walked a lot to search for good shoots.until leg muscle pain on the following day.
4. purpose of taking photo.not just to make it leng leng.


last but not least, raleigh KL was at youth '09 too.helped out,had fun and took some pictures there.

record breaking

had my first paper in nottingham today.

yesterday i studied for 14 hours. in one day.

i'm quite impressed by myself.
--i broke my own record to have studied so much in a day.

一日之计在于晨

为什么一日之计在于晨?
why? why? why? (tone of "mooncake storm" drama)

In human body, our beloved adrenal cortex secretes glucocorticoids and CORTISOL , is one of the glucocorticoids. Cortisol is secreted highest during 6am-8am, the hormone then slowly decreases in its secretion from 8am to 8pm and at normal circumstances,cortisol secretion is lowest during about 9pm.

Cortisol is also known as "stress hormone". as its name implies, the hormone helps us to cope with stress by metabolising glucose, lipid and protein (via gluconegenesis,lipolysis,protein degradation) in our body thus liberate energy.

The highest amount of cortisol is at 6-8am, which means our body has more energy during that range of time.That's why we said 一日之计在于晨!

Therefore,we should do all our work/stressfull work/planning work from 6am to 8am then we can spend whole day sleeping bcoz we have most energy from 6am to 8 am.

优哉悠闲

好久没有这么

优哉悠闲 了

今天没有课
昨天 下午也没有课

有一点神经的
从sememyih搭便车, 搭ktm, 搭lrt, 再搭便车
终于在近乎2个小时的时间内
抵达ulu yam campsite
所以我说
i moved from a jungle to another jungle
-just to spend one day overnight at the "another jungle"

乎, 山上的空气超好!
冰冰凉凉的
就算只是20分钟的睡眠
也令人精神一振!
当下的感觉实在太一流了!

感觉好，也是有离开的时候
7.40am醒来
离开ulu yam--->nottingham
又
搭便车,missed ktm, 搭ktm, missed bus, 搭bus
还要迟到par tutorial..
专程七早八早回来就为了这个tutorial class

中午
与秋琪共餐
接着回房睡觉
4个小时后，大概6点多
被惠仙的敲门声吵醒
被叫去吃饭
真是名副其实的：

吃饱睡，睡饱又吃!

晚上，
被ashley叫去游夜泳
超冷!
凉风习习，nottingham 晚上的空气真好
很特别，因为没有试过晚上冷冰冰游泳
冷的程度 : 一停下来，就feel到冷

回来，有点累
明天还有hospital visit

明天有mock test

明天有mock test
不懂为什么我现在还在这里
对面房的惠仙一定是在k着书

可能 我觉得我很厉害?!
（每次都对自己那么有信心）
><"
没有 只是不想读


讲到读书
中学求学 vs 大学求学

中学:
1.读考试，是为了拿越多的A越好
2.读考试, 为了拼总平均(除了一些喜欢的理科)

大学:
1.读书，不只是为了读考试，是为了未来以后
2.读书，是为了瞒住求知欲

所以，我觉得我还是喜欢大学的读书方式
感觉酱才是读书的乐趣，读书的目的
当读着的是一门自己有兴趣的学问，不会觉得辛苦
不像以前 读电脑概论,sejarah 的时候，有觉得想吐血
还有，
大学读书 没有固定的课本
喜欢读那一本就看哪一本
很自由 很爽 只是常常借不到书就会很不爽


大学读书 and 中学读书的共同点:
拼奖学金!!
