Football at 4am

It's 12.26 am as I begin writing this post. I'm currently listening to Cee-lo Green's "Forget You", not bad, a nice and funny song. Well, it's past midnight, and as usual, I'm still awake. The Manchester United vs Birmingham match is at 4 am, I know it's a bit late, but, it's holiday and I have to make "full use" of it, haha. Yesterday, I was planning to watch the Arsenal vs Chelsea match. It was a big game, a clash between two EPL titans. I tried to keep myself occupied by playing computer games and watching TV. At 3.15 am, I couldn't stand it anymore, I was too sleepy and could barely open my eyes. So, I decided to take a nap. I set my alarm and then I took my nap, when I opened my eyes it was already 8.25 in the morning.

Today is 29th of December 2010, year 2010 is coming to an end. I'm going to college very soon, which means that my secondary school life is officially over.

Christmas Eve 2010

~FuTuRe~

Today is 23rd of December, 1 day before Christmas Eve. Tomorrow, my family and I are going to stay overnight at Sunway Hotel (or whatever it is called, the one beside Sunway Pyramid) along with my aunt's family. Nothing special, we do the same thing every year since 2006. Enough said, my intention in writing this post is not to discuss what I'll be doing during Christmas Eve.

Yesterday, my mum brought me to my cousin's "shop" (actually it's an agency called MedicEd). I was given lots of information regarding the education in Moscow Medical Academy in Russia. Looks like I'm really going to Russia for a degree in Medicine, which means I'll be staying abroad for at least 6 years.

Next year, I'll be taking foundation courses at Oasis College located in Kuala Lumpur. To be specific, the foundation course I'll be taking is Foundation in Science, subjects include english, maths, physics, biology, chemistry and so on.
The course will be 8-9 months, so I will be "flying" to Moscow in September 2011.

I hope this isn't the wrong choice to make.

I'll be learning how to drive very soon and I should be able to get my P license in late January or early February. My dad brought my brother and I (we're sharing the car) a second-hand Citra, a black colour one. It's a pretty cool car, it can easily fit in 6-7 passengers. Nevertheless, I would be able to drive for only 8 months, and that's it, then it's farewell Malaysia.

Eminem's Love The Way You Lie

[Eminem]

This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
hush baby, speak softly, tell me I’ll be sorry
that you pushed me into the coffee table last night
so I can push you off me
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy
baby, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me
then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
destructive path that we’re on,two psychopaths but we
know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs
that we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky
together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills,you hit me twice, yeah, but who’s countin’?
I may have hit you three times, I’m startin’ to lose countbut together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain
our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counsellin’
this house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand
square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it
with you I’m in my f-ckin’ mind, without you, I’m out it

Badminton at Botanic Resort Club

SPM is finally over. Staying at home is really boring, so today I decided to play badminton with my cousin Wei Jie at Botanic Club. I hurt my forearm when I played badminton with him on Wednesday. This morning, I woke up at 6 o'clock, went downstairs and watched TV for a while. When I was getting back to my room, I tripped over the staircase and broke one of my toe nails, and it bleeded. Damn, I had to play badminton with a slightly injured forearm and a bleeding toe.

At 9 o'clock, I arrived at the club. As I was about to step out of my mum's CR-V, my "lovely" cousin SMSed me, and he said "Still on ma?". Damn.

We started playing badminton at 9.25. After playing for about 40 minutes, a few kids who were probably 13 or 14 years old came before us and asked if we wanted to play "2 on 2" with them. Well, Okay, let's play then.

These kids weren't bad at all, we lost to them 19-21 for the 1st round. I made a stupid mistake when the score was 19-20. Okay, maybe we shouldn't underestimate these kids after all. We rested for a while and started playing for the 2nd round. In the end, we beat the crap out of them, the final score was 21-15.

After playing for two matches with them, I was about to leave, but then my cousin and those kids insisted that we should have a third and final round to decide who's the "Winner". I was like, well, okay, why not? In the end, we beat them again, the score was 21-15, or 21-16, I couldn't remember clearly.

Before leaving, those kids said "Thank you, thank you" to us, I was thinking, wow, at least these kids got some manners. After taking a bath, my mum came to fetch me. We went to buy Mcdonalds for breakfast and I went to a "photoshop" to take photo (purpose: for my L license). After that, we went back home.

Tuesday-the-14th

SPM is about to come to an end. 14th December is the last day.

My expectation is to get 6-8 As.

This post is short, very short. Well, I guess I can spend more time blogging after SPM since my secondary school life is over. Haha, thinking of going to college makes me so freaking excited.

That's about it, bye-bye, blog.

I'm sure I will be able to write more after SPM... >.<

8 Days Before SPM~!!!

SPM is 8 days from now and this post will be one of my very last posts before SPM comes to an end.

For the past 2 weeks, I have been staying at home doing revision. Huh? Am I playing truancy? Of course not, JESUS CHRIST, I'm a good boy, okay? I don't do stuffs like that. Well, it's just that SPM candidates are allowed to do revision at home after the 2nd semester exam. However, we still need to attend the SPM tuition classes held on Monday and Tuesday, which I only attended for once and "ponteng" for thrice (the teachers are useless, they don't teach and they like to tell us jokes).


There's only 8 days left, but there's still plenty of things left for me to study. So far, I've finished revising Chemistry and Physics, and tomorrow, I'll start studying Add-maths and Biology. For god's sake, there's only 8 days left, yet I still have so damn much to study. AHHHH~~~!!!!

Night, folks, I really should get back to my studies now......

Last Day for Chemistry Tuition

Today's the last day for Chemistry tuition in Alpha Zone. I've been in the class for 3 months now. I first attended the tuition since the beginning of September, which was when the SPM trial had ended.

Well, the teacher's good and he teaches fairly well, a great teacher indeed. Everytime we'll be discussing the trial papers and he'll be explaining and telling us things which we need to pay extra attention to. I've completed quite a number of trial papers from many different states and that'll certainly make me more confident when I sit for the upcoming SPM.

There are only a few more lessons left for Add-maths and Physics, and then BOOM, there's SPM. No more tuition, no more TV, no more Facebook or whatsoever.

13 days before SPM.

Night, guys or bros or anybody who is reading or who will be reading my current post.

SPM's Around the Corner~!!!

Yeah, right, as the title suggests, SPM is around the corner, in fact, it's only 15 days from now. Two more weeks to go, and I shall make my last struggle......

Well, time is surely running short. However, I won't give in that easily and I'll carry on my preparation for every single subject, Sejarah excluded of course. You see, I don't really have time for this crap - Sejarah, so I might as well give up on this subject. To me, Pendidikan Moral seems to be a much considerable choice to give a shot as all I have to do is memorize four pages of notes which consist of 32 moral values (nilai murni). Compared to 2 huge and thick Sejarah textbooks, isn't that a bit more reasonable?

The subject which worries me the most is Bahasa Malaysia, because if I fail this subject, I'm screwed, literally. Bahasa Cina is also another great challenge for me, as I've only scored a B+ in the trial exam, and I heard it isn't easy to score an A in the actual SPM.

I hope I could get at least 7-8 A's in the upcoming SPM. I'm gonna go out all for it, as SPM is a prominent exam in Malaysia which all of us will only sit for once in a life time.

My favourite song

Viva La Vida

I used to rule~~ the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep~~ alone
Sweep the streets I used to owned~~

I used to roll~~~ the dice
Feel the fear in the enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd~~ would sing
Now the old king is dead, long live the king

One minute I held~~ the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my cas~~tle stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missiona~~ries in a foreign field

For some reasons I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an ho~~nest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't belive what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Who would ever want to be king

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing ...

***repeat same lyrics till the end***

A-Level Scholarship Interview

Last Saturday, I didn't go to school, instead, I went to Sunway College for an interview. Well, it was an A-Level Scholarship interview, I woke up at 8 o'clock and my dad's driver came to fetch me at about 9 o'clock. It was a saturday morning, not many vehicles were travelling along the highway, therefore, I managed to reach Sunway College at half past nine.

When I stepped out of my Dad's CR-V, I saw plenty of participants waiting in the "lobby". I went to the reception and registered, then, the receptionist handed me a blue bag printed with the words "Sunway University College". Later on, I saw some of my ex-school mates who were also participants of the interview. I also met my friend Jin Teng in the canteen.

At 10 o'clock sharp, we were brought to an auditorium. More than a hundred people including interview participants, parents and employees of Sunway College could be seen in the auditorium. Some were chit-chatting with one another, others were having some light refreshments provided by Sunway College. Jin Teng and I were given some pre-interview forms by the employees, we filled them up and handed them in. Then, we sat down and waited for our names to be called by the announcer.

Jin Teng's name was called first, she was then led by a Sunway College employee to the interview room. About 20 minutes later, my name was also called. A male employee brought me to a room beside the auditorium. I had waited for another 20 minutes before I was informed to enter the room to begin my interview. The moment I stood up from the chair, I told myself to relax and stay calm in my mind. I knocked softly on the door, twisted the door knob and entered the room.

Before me stood a middle-age chinese lady, I greeted her and then I sat down. I tried my best to stay calm. Relax, just be yourself, I said to myself. The interviewer asked me to introduce myself to her. After that, she also asked me some other questions about my family, my ambition and so on. I answered all of her questions without much problems. In the end of the interview, she gave me some positive comments and praised me for speaking good English despite the fact that I am a Chinese school student.

After the interview, I went back to the auditorium and chatted with Jin Teng for a while. At about 12 o'clock noon, my dad's driver came to pick me up and then I returned home.

Sunday Morning

Today is Sunday and I woke up at about 10 o'clock in the morning. The first thing I did was flip through the newspapers and I found an interesing article about how to become a superior writer.

There are six areas/aspects you have to master to become a superior writer, which is grammar, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, style and creativity. After reading the article, I was thinking if it was possible for me to become a superior writer. Well, writing is one of my greatest interest, and becoming a decent writer is kind of like my greatest dream in life (currently).

Writing is fun. All of us have started writing since young, it is something easy to learn, but difficult to master. Grammar, punctuation, vocabulary and spelling. We've been learning these for years at school. These few aspects could be easily mastered if you read, read and read. But for the two other aspects - style and creativity, they are slightly harder to be mastered, in fact, there is no such thing as mastering style and creativity.

To be creative, you have to go out, meet some people, make friends, play games, go for vacation and learn new things. That's the way to become a creative person. Staying at home too much will only make you a nerd, and believe me, you will never become creative and you will not be able to write and compose creative and fascinating stories when you are a nerd.

As for style, well, you just have to read more novels or other reading materials (the beneficial ones) and I'm sure you will be able to acquire your own special and unique writing style subsequently.

Some people say that a photograph could tell a thousand words and some agreed on that. I do not know what you guys think, but, it sounds pretty ridiculous to me (just my personal opinion). A photograph is just a photograph, yes, it may bring back memories of old times, but could it really tell a thousand words? I doubt that.

Whatever. It seems like I've gone a little too far. My point is, words make you think, let you make use of your imagination and let your mind operates. Pictures/photographs couldn't do that, could they?

Which is better? A diary or a photo? Your choice.

Thoughts (i)

Things are getting really boring nowadays, really boring. Nothing motivates me, nothing at all. My life is so dull, DAMN......

Study, study, study... whatelse? My life is about studying, getting some lameshit scholarship, sitting for SPM and entering any colleges which is willing to take me in. That's about it.

Writing has always been my greatest interest for the past one or two years. Whenever I felt bored, I would think of something, make use of my creativity and write them out. That was fun, really. But, things have changed a lot recently.

I'm no longer inspired nor motivated. Inspiration has vanished. Motivation could be found nowhere.

For the past few months, I've been trying to concentrate on my SPM studies, but things weren't going too well. My results are getting worse......

I'm highly determined to get some good grades for my SPM. But, being determined is one thing, acquiring the perseverance and persistence to study for it is another.

Only if I were mentally strong enough to control myself from day-dreaming......

SPM Trial Exam

For every 17-year-old student in Malaysia, with no doubt, SPM is one of the most important event of the year. Okay, maybe not ALL of them, but at least for those who care about their future and for those who want to get on in life, it is extremely essential. Well, at least that is what I think.

As a non-government school student, SPM is as important to me as it is to any of my friends from other government schools. The way my school treats SPM really annoys me, they take it too lightly, as if the only thing important to them is the Senior 3 UEC, other than that, everything is garbage.

SPM trial starts on this Saturday, and I hope I could get some good results, so that I could get out of this living hell asap.

Triple Triumph

Last friday, I went to Sunway University College with my brother for the prize-giving ceremony of the My Success My Dreams blogging contest. I was awarded the 2nd prize and the announcer said that there was only a 30 votes difference between the champion and I, anyway, I'm still quite happy with the result. An 800-word-essay for an iPod touch, RM500 cash prize and RM220 vouchers, ain't bad, huh?

On the second day, I went to Taylor's University College Lakeside Campus along with my partner and two of my friends who also manage to enter the finals for the Videologue Competition. We did a so-so presentation in front of the judges and the audiences (I was kinda nervous facing so many people in front of me). In the end, it turned out that we were the 2nd runner-up and the other team was the 3rd runner-up. The prizes for us was an iPod Nano 4th generation with 16gb of memory each while the two of them got a pen-drive each.

Today, I went to school and got to know that I was awarded the 1st prize in the school's Creative Writing Competition.

Three prizes in a row, now, that was really unexpected.

By the way, exam starts on this Thursday, and I'm not fully-prepared yet, really feel kinda nervous. Anyway, I will still try my best!!!

David Villa

A school assignment~

If I were given a chance to be anybody, I would definitely want to be the Spanish striker and Barcelona football star David Villa. The reasons are simple, as a world-class footballer, I could gain fame, fortune and most importantly, reputation.

Football had always been my favorite sport since young, and now, as a professional footballer, I would play football not only for myself but also for my supportive family and my die-hard supporters. I would never let them down. I would lead my club Barcelona towards victory in the Spanish La Liga League and then we would get to challenge the European giants Inter Milan and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Having defeated the European’s best football clubs, we would finally receive the most prominent title in European football – the European Champion.

Being one of the best footballers in the world, sooner or later, I’d probably get selected as the FIFA World Player of The Year by the international football association. However, becoming the world’s best player would not stop me from making further improvements. I would keep on practicing to enhance my imperfect skills so that one day, I would be able to lead the Spain national football team to win the world’s most well-known and prestigious football tournament – the FIFA World Cup. Having achieved so much, I would undoubtedly become a famous and highly-respected footballer admired by millions of people around the globe.

Besides fame and reputation, as the world’s highest-paid football star, I would gain a substantial amount of fortune. With the fortune I had acquired, I’d buy a big and luxurious manor for my parents and also employ lots of servants and maids to ensure my mum that she would never ever need to worry about the troublesome household chores anymore. Besides, the money could be used for charitable purposes such as donating and providing aid to the poor. Moreover, I would also like to make the slightest contribution to the society by providing funds for the development of the community towards a better future.

If only I were given the chance to be David Villa, if only……

A Fiction: Exotic Pleasure

Blood spilt all over the ground as the man stabbed his victim on the waist under the faint moonlight. The man removed his bloody knife from his victim’s body, only to forcefully thrust it once again at the same wounded spot. The rhythm was continued for several more times, until the unfortunate victim fell to his knees. He unhinged his jaws, trying to moan, but not a sound came out, his strength was utterly drained away by the unbearable pain. Pressing his palm on his bleeding wound, slowly, he stopped struggling and collapsed entirely to the ground. The man went motionless; his gasping sound could be heard no more, lying lifelessly with his eyes wide opened on the cold pavement along the stark and desolated streets.

The murderer glared at the deceased body in front of him, at first he made no expression. He looked at his own hands with his soulless eyes, both of them stained with the fresh blood of his newest victim. Staring once again at the corpse he had created, he smirked wickedly. The man wasn’t his first victim, but he was unlucky enough to become the prey of this blood-thirsty murderer.

Criminals aren’t complicated, they always have plans, whether to earn an ill-gotten fortune, or to bring vengeance to the ones they resent. They are all schemers. But this man was no schemer; he was a man without plans. All he wanted was to kill, to watch his victims begging for mercy, to feel blood splattered all over himself and to enjoy the very last moments of his dying victims. Money wasn’t what he wanted; he was a descendant of a fairly rich family and had inherited a substantial amount of fortune from his parents when they passed away. He made no intention to make a fortune by stealing his victims’ money or jewellery, he didn’t even bother looking for their wallets. His life was extremely dull as he was living a luxurious life without any worries, pleasure was what he demand, the pleasure to kill. To him, killing was exciting and satisfying; he could obtain limitless satisfaction that nothing else could give.

The smell of blood gave him excitement, like a powerful vitality booster, making him wanting to search for his next victim. He stripped off an old metal crucifix hanging upon the chest of the dead body and stuffed it into his pocket. To avoid any unnecessary attention or eye-witnesses, he strode away quickly in quiet paces. The blood-stained knife was still in his tightly clench fist as blood was still dripping from the blade that had destroyed a handful of innocent and pitiful souls as he was pacing along the narrow alleyway.

Darkness started to fade away from the starless sky, dawn was slowly approaching, and the murderer knew that his joyful time was almost over. As he was wiping the blood away from his beloved murdering asset with a piece of ragged cloth in his limousine, he heard someone screaming in terror from the adjacent avenue, a wide and evil grin appeared on his face. Without any hesitation, he drove off satisfyingly with his newest prize in his pocket.

Paul The Octopus

Paul the octopus has become the interest of everyone on the planet recently. The English-born octopus has made eight predictions on the results of eight prominent World Cup matches and all of them turned out to be a hundred percent accurate.

Weeks ago, when Paul's German owner first showed the media his pet octopus, claiming that it was a psychic, no one believed in his seemingly absurd assertion. But now, the 100% accuracy of the predictions made by the little sea-creature clearly proves that his owner isn't another trickster who is trying to make a name by cheating the public.

Yesterday, the German made an announcement to the world, claiming that his pet octopus will make no further predictions for football matches. I'm sure Paul will certainly enjoy his retirement, farewell, Oracle Paul.

THE WORLD CUP FINALS

The Fifa World Cup 2010 is about to come to an end.

Today is the grand final - Spain against Holland. Some of my friends who are die-hard football supporters decided to stay up for the greatest match of the year. After much consideration, I made my decision, which is to sleep earlier and then wake up at 2.30 in the morning for the match. After all, it's the world cup final!

The last Fifa world cup was held on year 2006, hosted by Germany. Before that was the Fifa world cup 2002 hosted by Japan and Korea, and I was only a 9-year-old kid then, and knew nothing about football......

Okay now, it's almost 12 o'clock, time to get some sleep, and I'm going to put 3 alarms around my bed. My iPhone alarm on my left, my second phone alarm on my right, and my alarm clock behind my pillow. Sounds funny, huh? I don't care. Waking up at 2.30 is of utmost priority right now. Haha.

One more thing I'd like to do.

shouting: SPAIN!!!!! SURE WIN!!!!

Okay, now, goodnight.

Short-Listed

It was about 10.30pm when I reached my house. Having spent 2 hours in the tuition class, I felt exhausted. Before going to bed, I logged on my facebook account and started giving comments on my friend's post, about how we'd like to deep fry Paul the freakin Octopus who made England and Argentina lose in the Fifa 2010 top 16 and quarter finals respectively.

Just as I was about to turn off my computer, I thought of opening my MSN mail-box to check whether there were any special or unusual mails other than the "facebook notification" junks.

As I expected, I saw a whole bunch of junk mails, but, all but one was different. The sender was from Sunway University College. "OMG!", I told myself when I finished reading the first line of the content of the mail.

"Congratulations! Your entry is one of our 10 shortlisted entries in the run for the iPod Touch and RM800!" It read.

I was really excited. After spending so much time to compose a "masterpiece" essay, not to mention the "decorating part" of my blog post, it was proven that my efforts were not wasted.

As I said in my contest submission blog post, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. My recent "dream" is to win the blogging contest, and now I'm one of the 10 shortlisted bloggers, once again, it's proven that the quote above is definitely right!

Happy Cake Day

Yesterday was my 17th birthday, the 4th of July, the same date as the US independence day. I was wondering, if I were born in the US, things would be so much better, I might get invited to the White House or something, yeah, in Malaysia, they actually do invite those who were born on 31st of August for a feast or party in the palace on the National Day.

Yesterday was a "wonderful" day, an extremely "wonderful" day. I woke up in the morning, at about 9 o'clock, my mother was standing before my bed. I was still half-conscious and could barely open my eyes. "We're leaving for a meal, with your dad's friend, bye-bye." My mum and dad gave my brother a Rm100 note and told him to bring me out for lunch and buy a cake, and then, they left.

Oh, great! Fantastic! Go out for lunch with some friends in Perak, that was the best thing I've ever heard in my entire life. After having lunch, I bought a cake from Secret Recipe. Something really cool happened. I actually wrote the letters on the cake myself and carried the cake to my brother's car myself. Cool huh? DIY birthday, coolest thing ever...

We went back home. I felt bored and started surfing the internet and then I fell asleep on the sofa for a couple of hours. When I woke up, I looked at the clock. 5.00 pm, it showed. I tilted my head towards the windows, the sunlight dimmed, the sky was getting darker. I arose from my sofa, staggered across the living room and glared at the parking spot in front of my house. As I expected, it was still empty.

It wasn't until 8.00 o'clock that my parents returned home from their lunch which took them a life-time and brought us out for the "celebration".

Birthday was boring, I'd rather I didn't have a birthday. Everything was aweful, except one. I've received a book "Shutter Island" as a birthday gift from my brother, and that was the best thing I would like to mention on my 17th birthday...

My Dream Story of Success

http://www.sunway.edu.my/mysuccess





Success, is merely a simple word, a combination of letters, but, the state of being successful is something everyone longed and desired for.

The definition of success may vary in the eyes of different people. To some people, success means fame and wealth or even social standing, while others may consider success as a great achievement in life such as running a rosy business, acquiring a blissful marriage, having a good job, getting a pay raise or even becoming a winner in the 3D lottery.

When I was young, success was something rather complicated and hard to understand. Once, I asked my mum and she told me that becoming a doctor or a lawyer is what we call success, but, from other people and other sources, I was given different answers. I was puzzled and I went through my entire childhood in total bewilderment.

But now that I've grown up, I have my own interpretation for the word "success". Being able to turn our dreams into reality and being able to make the impossible things possible after paying tonnes of hard work, determination and perseverance, that is what I call success.

For me, a so-called book-lover and an aspiring author, becoming a published novelist is what I aim for and what I hope to become in the near future(you'll probably see the name Bryan Tan as the author in some best-selling novels in the next decade).

Yes, I may confess that I'm a nerd as I was never active in sports. Some people say that I'm a boring person, but, the allegation of those dim-wits is utterly untrue. I may be inactive in sports, but I have a passion for writing. Besides reading, writing had always been my deepest interest since young. Whenever I showed my parents or teachers my works, they were often impressed. Their compliments were powerful, comparable to nukes, serving as great motivations and encouragements for me to carry on writing even better essays. They really influenced me a lot, without those praises, I wouldn't have become what I am today(a passionate writer).

Now, as a 17-year-old, apart from studies, I spend most of my time composing and writing various short stories during my past time. Writing is fun, nothing else could give me that much joy and satisfaction.

When I sit at my desk with papers and pencil, or when I sit before my computer with my fingers glued to the keyboard, the feeling is incredible. Writing or typing doesn't matter anymore as long as I can express my feelings through poems, create a surreal world full of adventures and make up an arousing story which may stun my parents and friends. The feeling is indescribable, whenever I write, adrenaline will flow through my blood violently and instantaneously not because I'm suffering from fear or heart attack but simply because of dire excitement. In theory, adrenaline rush often occurs to a person when he is excited or being frightened, but for me, Bryan The So-Called Nerd, adrenaline surges whenever I write!

Dreams come true if we act to turn them into realities. Becoming a successful novelist is my dream, and I'm going all out to achieve it. Firstly, I will finish my final year of high school, pass all exams with flying colours and major in both English and Creative Writing at a university. The double major will allow me to acquire an advanced proficiency in English and will also make me a much decent writer abundant of knowledge and creativity. Next, I will embark on an epic journey to become a professional novelist even if it takes years or decades of efforts to strive for it and finally, I will reach the peak and become one of the best in my field with various best-selling novels (thrillers, fantasies, or even fairy tales).

Being the best in one's field may be the ultimate goal for some people but for me, success is an on-going process, not a destination. There will be no ending line for my career as a novelist, being the best would not stop me from writing, instead, I will create more and more distinguished, fabulous and inspirational stories for readers who support me whole-heartedly.

As a successful novelist/writer, I will write to inspire the minds and souls of millions, for the world will always need an inspirational writer like me to keep their hearts cultivated and souls motivated for the development of a better tomorrow.

Keep that in your minds, never say never to your dreams even though people may mock at you or even laugh at you as they may think that your dreams are unattainable or you are merely a Dreamer. Remember, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

As for me, my dream serves as my life mission. No matter what happens, I will pursue my dream of becoming a successful novelist until the end of my life.

For writing is my life. Writing completes me.

Hell, No~!!!

Time flies, holiday's gone. What had I been doing for the past 2 weeks? Huh? Nothing at all....... Except things not worth mentioning.......

Holiday's boring as usual. I went out for some movies and karaoeke with some close friends, and then played badminton with my cousin in the nearby Botanic Club and then celebrated my mommy's birthday in Neway KTV, and that's all, these were the things I did on the first few days. Later on, I did nothing, except watching TV and did some time wasting stuffs. The routine was almost the same for everyday, wake up at about 12 o'clock in the morning, meal, watch tv or DVDs, Facebook and MSN, dinner, tv again, football match, sleep, then wake up in the afternoon again.

Everyday was about the same, and I did my homework during the last few days. SPM projects were still not completed, and school is reopening already. Hell!!!

Time to continue my Moral project, that's all, bye-bye my blog~

Fifa World Cup 2010

It's one week since the very first match of the FIFA World Cup 2010 which is hosted by South Africa, the weakest host ever, sorry, no offence, just telling the truth...... The first match was incredible, or rather predictable, it was the host South Africa against Mexico, and the result was one-one. Was it a fair game, or were the Mexicans given some bribes? Haha, you know, according to the FIFA record, no teams which hosted the world cup in their nation lost in the first round ever, even for Japan they won their very first round during the 2002 Korea-Japan Fifa World Cup, and so the South Africans wouldn't really like to break this record.

I didn't watch any of the matches on the first day of the world cup, but through the internet, I knew that the overrated France(was it?) earned a nil-nil against some weak team, fair enough, maybe they were nervous because it was their first match. On the second day, I went to my friend's house for a primary school gathering and watched a match between Argentina and Nigeria, it was disappointing though the Argentinians won, the result was only one-nil. After the match, I went back home and watched another match between my favourite team England and USA with my brother and his friends( bunch of gamblers). England Captain and star player of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard scored at the 4th minute, all of us cheered but soon, USA also scored a goal caused by a stupid and idiotic mistake by England goalkeeper Robert Green(Capello trusted in you, yet you let him down......). In the next few days, I watched a couple of matches, The best one is undoubtedly the Germany-Austrialia match, they were the first team to do some thrashing, that was an interesting match, cheers for the Germans! Some matches worth mentioning were the Portugal-Ivory Coast match(which consists of top players such as C.Ronaldo in Portugal and Didier Drogba in Ivory Coast, the result was nil-nil) and the Spain-Switzerland match(underdog Switzerland won unexpectedly by scoring one damn goal and the gamblers were losing like hell thanks to them).

Today, it's Argentina against South Korea(one of my favourite team because they're the only team in Asia who really knows how to play football and partly because of Park Ji Sung, cause I'm a Man U supporter, haha), and Argentina won by scoring 4 goals, but the South Koreans weren't bad also, they scored one goal and I could see that they had tried their very bests. Next was Greece against Nigeria, it was a 2-1 match, Greece won. And now, as I'm typing this post, France are being thrashed by Mexico, the Mexicans scored two goals and that was something totally unpredictable, who would expect France to lose against Mexico, who would expect the former World Champion(years ago, but they were the first runner-up in the 2006 Fifa World Cup) to not enter the octofinals( their fate were decided, they lose to Mexico and drawed with Uruguay, so it means even if they win the next round they'll only get 4 points, and that's not enough to enter the top 16). So long, France, maybe you guys could go back home and train harder and get a better result next time.

As far as I'm concerned, for the FIFA World Cup 2010 group matches, underdogs such as Japan and Switzerland tend to win and some strong teams like Spain and France tend to lose, making the games really unpredictable, and is that something good or bad? It depends, haha. Maybe the overrated teams don't deserve the name they had received from the public. France is the best example, they are really overrated though decent players like Henry and Ribery and so on are on the team, and now they couldn't even qualify for the octofinals.

It's so late already and I'm kinda sleepy.

All in all, world cup is the best, viva football!

3/4 Of Mid-Year Holiday Gone

Holy jesus, could you just stop the freakin clock from turning so damn fast, or could you give me some kinda time machine and let me go back to the very first day of the holidays. Holy crap! I've had big plans for the Mid-year holiday, first of all, the SPM projects, and then my studies, which includes my school's stuffs and also SPM's stuffs. Speaking of SPM, the trial of it is 2 months plus from now and I've studied almost nothing and have spent my time dreaming in the tuition class for the past 5 months, God, or GuanNiMa, help me with that, could any of you? NOOOO!!! Everything is not going well according to my plan, nothing at all.

Besides, I planned to practise more on my guitar, spent more time on it as I feel like I'm still a complete amateur though I started taking guitar lessons about 8 months ago. I could only play a handful of songs, which include the freakin song-for-amateur QingTian by Jay Chow. Moreover, my plan to complete my short novel is still merely a plan, I finished the 1st chapter eons ago and now the latest chapter is still chapter 1.

Today is already Wednesday, oops, oh my god, it's Thursday already, damn it, three-four days before school reopens and I did almost nothing worth mentioning during these 12 days. What can I say...... Tomorrow I'll start doing my Moral projects as well as other projects, hope I'll finish them before time run out.

I always have big plans, but they are always plans, incompleted plans for ever and ever. SPM trial is creeping nearer and nearer, and I would never give in. The trial decides my fate whether to continue my Senior 3 or to study Foundation next year. 7-8As is all I wish, I've already given up in the retarded Sejarah(I'm not someone patriotic =.=) and BM(my least favourite language), so GuanNiMa, please grant me the determination to study hard and the power to persevere until my wish comes true.

It's about 2 o'clock in the morning, good, it's still early, haha, I normally sleep at 4 something, World Cup Fever WAKA WAKA! That's all and by the way, this is my first blog post, decided to write something as I'm really really freakin bored.

What We Can Do To Save Our Environment

Earth, also known as the Blue Planet, is the only place in the universe where life is known to exist. Inhabited by millions of species including humans, Earth was created distinctively. The variety of life forms on Earth, its biological diversity is widely referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of animals, plants, microorganisms and the different ecosystems on the planet are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity where every single species, no matter big or small, have an important role to play. Yet, the irresponsible acts of humans have greatly and gravely affected the precarious balance, thus, causing a serious problem known as biodiversity crisis. Humans, have caused pollutions of various kinds and as a result, habitats of animals were destroyed, precious natural resources were contaminated and finally global warming and climate change started to occur. These terrible repercussions are the main reasons why global biodiversity crisis is happening and as the inhabitants of this planet, actions ought to be taken by us to save our environment from destruction.

In today’s society, electricity is essential for us in our daily lives and more than 80% of electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels. By burning coal or other fuels, green-house gases which will lead to environmental pollution, green-house effect and global warming are emitted. According to research, an average home powered by a coal utility will burn more than 10,000 pounds of coal a year and will cause about the same amount of pollutions as 2 fuel-powered vehicles. To save our environment, renewable energy such as water power and wind power should be used instead. By using renewable energy as the primary power source, the reduction of pollution per household would be equivalent to that of planting 400 trees.

Renewable energy produces minimal amounts of pollution and harmful gases and is infinite as it will never run out. One of the best and most reliable energy comes from the sun, which is the solar energy. By using solar panels, solar energy is captured and can be used to generate electricity and to heat water. Besides, wind power is also very sustainable and dependable as it could not possibly deplete. According to Chris Goodall, a prestigious environmentalist and also the author of a few popular science books, there are sufficient sites for wind turbines to generate 72 terrawatts of electricity, which is about thirty times the world’s electricity requirement. Apart from these two renewable energy, hydropower too should be widely used to generate electricity as rivers and streams are among nature’s most powerful forces. Moreover, biomass and geothermal energy which bring almost zero pollution are also great renewable resources that should be introduced to the public. Apparently, renewable energy has better efficiency and is also far more eco-friendly compared to fossil fuels.

In the 21st century, vehicles such as cars and vans are used for transporting and travelling. The conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) are used by the majority of people all around the globe. These vehicles use petrol or diesel as their power sources and are extremely “eco-destructive” as the emissions generated by them seriously pollute the environment. As a solution, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) which are commonly known as hybrids should be used instead as they give off less emissions into the air. Hybrids are vehicles designed for reducing pollution and also saving the environment. They rely on both the engine and the electric motors and so less fuel is consumed as electricity is also used. Each hybrid has an electric battery as its alternative power source and electricity can be captured and stored in it. These electric batteries could recapture significant amounts of energy during braking that are normally wasted as heat. This regenerative braking could actually supply quite a great amount of electricity that can be used to generate the vehicle without consuming much fuel. Furthermore, some hybrids do not even need a single drop of petrol or diesel as the power source as they use electric batteries as well as fuel cells(use hydrogen as fuel) only. Obviously, hybrid electric vehicles are way better compared to the combustion engine vehicles as they produce minimal or even no pollution.

Plastic is one of the most disastrous inventions ever created in the human history. The use of plastic should be avoided whenever we can as they are not bio-degradable and has led to the poisoning and death of many sea creatures. Instead of using the environmentally harmful plastic bags, we should use reusable shopping bags (some call it green bags and they are usually made of fabric) when we go to the supermarkets. Many people claim that they actually do re-use the plastic shopping bags but will still dispose them eventually when they get too dirty. By using the reusable shopping bags which can be washed easily, the use of plastic bags which will take forever to disintegrate could be avoided. Besides, reusable shopping bags actually require less waste of natural resources and less emission of carbon dioxide to produce than plastic bags. There is no doubt, reusable shopping bags are eco-friendly products which could help to save our environment.

Nowadays, continuous deforestation has become a serious problem. As all of us know, trees absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during photosynthesis to produce glucose. In recent years, the amount of carbon dioxide increases as many forests were destructed. The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to green-house effect and also global warming. To stop this, the act of continuous deforestation ought to be stopped. The frequency of deforestation should be decreased to a reasonable extent and new trees should be planted immediately after deforestation is done. By doing these, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will surely plunge like never before.

To save the environment, individuals should start doing things that are environmental friendly in their daily lives. For example, one can organize a car pool for work or school with your colleagues or schoolmates to reduce the emission of green-house gases. By doing this, the destruction of environment is being delayed or even being ceased. As a responsible individual, we should cut down the use of electrical appliances. Being one of the most used electrical appliances, air conditioners are extremely destructive to the environment. We use air conditioning to cool our little micro environment, house, car, school, but by doing this we are transmitting the heat and harmful gases into the external environment, thus contributing to global warming. Other than air-conditioners, the use of lights should also be reduced to minimal during daytime to save energy. In addition, we should plug all of our appliances into a power strip in one particular area and turn the switch to “off” when finish using all appliances for energy conservation. By doing the slightest and simplest things, our environment could be saved.

Earth, is the only place with suitable temperature, gravity and atmosphere for humans to inhabit. As time goes by, the human civilization is getting more and more advanced, meanwhile, extinction started to be faced by more and more species. Is it just a co-incidence? Perhaps not. Humans are the ones who are causing biological diversity crisis, humans are the ones who are polluting their own environment, and humans, are also the ones who are devastating their own planet, their only place to live. Should we allow these horrible acts continue to get carried on? No, they had to be stopped, with the co-operation provided by the entire human race. Work together, and we shall drive the slightest possibility of environmental destruction out of our homes, out of our countries, out of our lives!
