My arguement is invalid.


Not much to report about my holiday. Yes, my holiday have started for over a month. For all these weeks, i have been doing nothing but LOG IN & LOG OUT OR STAYED LOGGED IN. From Facebook to YouTube to 9gag to {Kamen riders episodes website} to {Comic online}. My butt hasn't really leave the chair for over an hour unless i got to sleep.

I'm just lazy to write or create anything during the holidays. I forced myself to draw some comics because there's some event i am interested. But it all ended needed to be photoshopped. Sometimes i wish Picture or Graphic Editing Software isn't so expensive. Now, i am waiting my friend who has the software to help me with the editing process, which sadly, he is a busy man.

Slugging around for 6 weeks, (Man, i am pathetic.) a sudden Facebook chat appears on my screen.

"Hey, wanna go camp." he said.
"What camp?" I said
"Buddhism youth camp in FO GUANG SHAN DON ZEN TEMPLE of course."
"Like how."
[And all of you who've been in any camp knew the process.]

The venue located a approximated 2 hours trip from my friends. Since we're carpooling, that wasn't seems to be the problem. But the starting time was too early so we decided to stay overnight there, in the temple. (Don't get the idea that we're sleeping with the monks, the camp had prepared the sleeping unit.)

Me and my buddy met two new friends in the camp eve night. A good start in meeting people. But a bad start for my back due to the thin mattress. (At least we are sleeping on wooden platforms. Better temperature.)

The next day, we entered the camp and briefly met some camp-mates. (Not to mention the unforgettable stairs trip: "You have to take a spare set of clothes for the games." "You have to change into our uniforms.")

Our group were determined by lollipops, literally. I was settled in the group which named "定心组".(Stable mind) In the group, we have ordinaries, (People who attend the first time and hardly satisfied.) punks, (People who are ordinaries but acted to mess things up.) chubby, (Only 1, turns out to be the most popular kid in the camp.) silent, (Mostly girls, but they will become very friendly in the end.) Downgrades, (Once a committee but intended to be the participants.) and the counselors. (To break the ice, hammer or fire is needed, they are the hammer and fire.)

The counselors and the committees are a family like every other groups, clubs and societies. According to the first they've showed us, the camp was once a disaster 2 years ago. Till now, they tried to redeem their pride. (Sounds like a comic storyline isn't it?) I'll say, they did their best.

To break the ice between us, they let us understand the manners in the daily life of the Buddhist, through a video and played the wrong ones. Lollipops at the time were like tokens or gems in online games, the group which held the most lollipops wins the best group. We have to answer the correct mistake to get one of those. Everyone was competitive, (One of Malaysia's students' nature, presented.)

The cafeteria was as big as a hall. The do and don't in the cafeteria was strict. No one wants to do anything wrong, the hall was quiet as in the library.

培杰, the singer

The atmosphere was heated up by a singer, not a well-known singer (Because he never went to ASTRO's singing competition, which is a good thing, or he will end up singing GONG XI FA CAI every year.) but has the voice and sense of humor. The event let me forgotten that i am in a Buddhism youth camp, more like a class concert.

After two hours of singing fun, we get to play some station game. The temple is so damn big, half of us exhausted from all the running from one location to another. In the end, our group ended up like this:
lost a tug of war,

chubby won 2 lollipops for drum solo,

almost won a candle carrying race, lost a photographing race, made a love letter out of newspapers,

crawling in mud-pies. The clothes i wore eventually filthy and have unpleasant smell at the end of the camp.

After having a boring Buddhist monk life guides, (Where the sleeping photos were mostly captured.) (Hey, true feelings.) the camp committee announced that we have not enough place to fit 173 members in the bedrooms, so we have to win the best two nights. We were given 4 rock card, 4 paper card, 4 scissors card, that's right, we are playing

"Rock Paper Scissors CARD GAME."
When a person won a game, he earns 1 life sticker, if he lost, he lost 1 life sticker. The card used in the game must be destroyed. Players who gets to remain 3 life stickers on their Ts after all of his cards were destroyed are the winner. Players who don't are the loser while those who used up their life stickers are also losers no matter how many cards are left.

Eventually, i slaughtered my buddy and earned extras from another friends. The cards were used up and i have 7 life stickers. The percentage of winning in the end was a disappointment due the number of life stickers of the whole group.

But the whole thing was a lie.

IT turns out everything was normal, this was just a test for us, and the solution was according to one of the gambling manga i have never heard of: Team up with other group members, keep playing the same card to remain the life stickers from both side. Our selfishness fail the test. Mine too. (Yet, punks still love to be complainers.)

A teacher of the temple gave us a relaxing ZEN mind cleaning lessons, quite interesting and it do have some effects but my feet were numb at the end of the lesson.

E to the X to the A to the M

I'm back!
Stupid heat burned out my moods to write a new post, but didn't it burn out my laziness???

I guess what I've been doing these days is nothing but slithering around.

To catch up the new Harry potter's movie, i have finally read the Harry Potter and the deathly hallows. Ya, I am
4 years late to read it. Why? Because my school is too big and the distance between my classroom and my school's library are toooooooooooo far. Seriously, the reason is that our school's new building wasn't accomplished and so is the bridge that attaches the main buildings of my school.

To speed up the reading, i borrowed a mandarin version of the book, yes, that will reduce the originality of the taste of the series, but what can i do? Another reason is the library doesn't have the English version's, even if it does, heck knows where did the librarians place it.

After 5 days of reading, I finally finish the whole series. I knew, i am slow.

After a few days after the preview of the movie, i surfed the internet as usual and saw all sorts of comments on the web. Some praised about, some were confused about too. I had to say, being the ROWLING behind one of the world's hottest novel series isn't a easy thing. When you got the reputations on write a creative story, they expect you to do the same again.

So no matter how the author tried to explain the whole thing, the fans or the others still managed to find a point that visually doesn't make sense.

Or maybe only the movie franchise that doesn't make sense........

Exams, the event where we eventually see the true sides of our class/schoolmates. Before and after the exams, you might see different faces around the place while they are revising at the very last minute. Maybe you are toooooooooo busy to observe that.

I do concerned about my exam and the marks, but the devil always made me an excuse to take a break and observe the surroundings. A rest is for a longer journey, right?

Before the exams (depends on the difficulty of the subject.)
  1. Normal - check and revise every point that might forgotten or missed during previous revision from the notes. Ask the others when confused by a minor point.
  2. God - doing the same thing but remain quiet to oneself. But mostly act the normal ones.
  3. Devil - do nothing but slithering across the hallway. Completely confidential. Or do they??
  4. Douche - Walking around and waiting for anyone to ask them questions. *This species are quite rare. Some are extinct.
  5. Hard workers - doing freaky last-year-question before the exams.
  6. Surrenders - Completely ignoring the subject.
During the exams
  1. Sicks - Unknowingly caught illness in every exams.
  2. Normal - Including God, Devil, Hard Workers and Douche, writing and screeching the paper in a uneven speed.
  3. Surrenders - Completely ignoring the subject. Prepare to due empty papers.
  4. Head Scratchers/Punchers/Driller - Suddenly empty-minded candidates, making awkward movements and thought it would summon back the lost memories.
After the exams
  1. Discussion group - Discuss the answers right away because they can't wait to know how many marks they have lost. Like i said before, MARKIST, totally lost the real meaning of learning. (NUMEROUS)
  2. Satisfied - Not really concerned about the results, but satisfied for what he/she done.
  3. Unsatisfied - Not really concerned about the results, but on the contrary.
  4. Surrenders - Don't give a F***/Sh**.
  5. Runners - Waiting to pee at any moment now.
  6. Unknown - A Satisfied forced to be Unsatisfied in front of his/her friend.
That's the typical series of people we will met at the Malaysian school's examination. If i missed out anything or misunderstood any personalities. Accept my apologies.

I have talked about the thoughts i had about exams, so i wouldn't repeat it again.

They just like to make their after-exams happy times worse themselves. No wonder some of them are EMO.

To students, holidays are holy days. Maybe this is the word's origin.

The thing i like about my school is that they always have the mid-term or end-term examinations before a spider-web-weaving holidays. When we were through with our papers as well as our blue pens, we're done. Our mission is completed. Only a few days left for us for relaxation before the real deal come.

But our school's teacher were known for their high efficiency. They can finish the markings before you say Mary Poppins' famous phrase and i am not going type it out since i am not a spelling bee. According to the fastest records, some teachers can finish their work right after the day you finished yours. Why? Because they're not going to let you have a good holiday. I'm just kidding, but seriously, they are like Dominic Torretto and Brian O'conner, FAST & FURIOUS.

I supposed you must be wondering how's my result after the long rest on blogger just for my exams. (You're not?) I still going to tell you, it ends well, well, for most of the subjects. But i am not going to review the marks.

Because this will lead to markism. (You must be saying, there's no such word, not in the dictionary. Language is a creation, so i create a part for it.)

Markism, according to my dictionary, well, you got the idea, when MARK was combined with ISM, it is a serious phenomena. Our country's students were famed with three bad habits
  1. Markism
  2. Racism, mostly on Chinese, and i felt ashamed about that.
  3. Visualization. In French, FAZIBUKASHION, they added a ZIBUK between Fashion.
Markism was listed first because it was pinned on our heads many generations ago. (Yeah, i said OUR, that means i have one too.) Sure, marks for rating the grades shows our acknowledgment about the subjects, the motivated and pushed the students from failing the next time and waste another 31536000 seconds learning or doing the same things. And competitions made a better student.

But when a student starting to ask a teacher like this:
"How much will occupy our total marks in our test?"
"How much does it effect our report card's average?"
"Will this be on the next paper?"
"Well, the subject only have one period per week so i might as well leave it aside."
"Teacher, can you please give us easy questions?"
"Why did you deduct my marks? "
Does the percentages really worked out fully?

Of course you'll say, everything has its benefits and its disadvantages, you can expect it more.
I knew that, i wrote that a thousand times when it comes to the essay titled "The advantages and Disadvantage of Facebook/Internet/Google/Emails/Comic/Online Games/Love Novels/Drama/Movies/Cartoons/Anime/Mahjongs/(Everything we liked besides reading classics novel or encyclopedia.)" We always end it with "(Object) has it Advantages and Disadvantages. We should use it wisely/dengan bijaksana or it will become a harmful thing to us."

The generation's desire of learning is decreasing, (Since a certain percentage of them thought they knew it all, but when Wikipedia is growing, they don't.) most of the learners cares more about the marks and periods. But i wondered.

Does the certificates list out like this?
XXXXXX subject --- E, but this subject only have 1 period in the candidate's school, so you (Universities) don't need to concern too much about the E.
XXXXXX subject --- A, it has 7 periods per week in the candidate's school! Accept him!

Wow, what a personified certificate. I wish i got one of these.

Knowledge never ends. And you care only about the marks and the knowledge, how will you face your own child?
"Daddy, can you teach me (subject)?"
"Of course, i once score 93.5 for it."
{Ten minutes later}
"I don't know, since when they changed the formats?"

I pity the next generation, don't make me do that.

Racism as i said it was a little Hitler's bug on our nations. A few weeks ago, a case of school bullying shocked the country. (I know some of you from different country might don't think it is serious, but hey, school is our second home and this is like robbed in our own house.) I was furious for that bully, that (Fill in the blanks with female dog's name.) haven't even met the society and she thought she's the boss. Talk about pre-fermented wine.

But i am talking the aftermath, FAZIBUKASHION, protesting groups rose up like the ones in PLANT VS ZOMBIES. Fine, i can understand the hatreds, but one of the group just mentioned such sentence repeatedly in the info zone.

"Protest against school bullying. Only Chinese bullies Malays, Chinese bullies Chinese is unbearable!"(Translated)

Talk about Hitler's bug. This guy or gal needs know my comments, "You have no differences with the packs of dogs that woofs for areas. (Bark! this is my territory! [Beep] off from the place! Bark!)" Anyone who knows the creator of the group, pass it around his/her ears.

As you learn science, ladybirds were separated to two main species, 7 dots and 28 dots. 7 dots are beneficial insects for farmers. (That's humanity's prides, what's good for us is good. ) 28 dots aren't since they are herbivorous. (When you don't know about this, read some other books than buku rujukan!)

In a human race, they're always some 28 dots ladybirds.But it doesn't meant the 7 dotted do not exist. There are no definition for a race to be all bad or good. There are certain percentages only. So if you thought about other race like a racist, think how they will think about us.

Have i gone too far? Or did you scrolled too fast?
This is might be boring discussion but i am one of my generations too, i express my thoughts through keyboards, since no speech competitions allow us to talk like this.

Congratulations! to my sis who just graduated! I am proud for you as a little brother.

This is the results of resting to much on blogger. I forced myself to save up the things i wanna say.

As the phenomena always goes on. We always think about why we take exams and how it supposed to be for educations, but we forget it soon as the exams ends.

Typical Reality.

Feel tired? Be happy because this post is ending right

NOW.

Always Treasure Your Friend(s)

At the afternoon of the report card day, i got a free AIR BATU CAMPUR as known as ABC. But at the same moment, a friend of mine left.

HE was one of my roommates and one of the coldest joker we have ever met. Due the blood cancer, he left the school for almost a year. HE fought his disease in order to get back the school life. He didn't fail and never supposed to be failed. But it actually happened. HE left.

During his funeral, everyone was (obviously because of humanity) sad. It's hard for the girls to stop crying, but it is also difficult to discharge any tears for boys. WE remained silence, watching the body that was fill with no fat but the medicines he took, in the coffin, behind the photo of his that is really hard the accept the one on it was once the one laughing with us.

周威权, it's been half a month. RIP.

As for the late visit, i'm sorry...............

A month, already??? More than that, already?????

1 and half month is certainly a long time for someone like you to wait, and i thank you for having that patience.

What i've been doing since lately? Well, not much to say but many thing happened in the last 6 weeks.

Nothing is more annoying and heart-pumping that the report card day, as mainly you get the opinion of you of your teacher with your parents side by side. Well, my results weren't so bad, after all, i never say that i am not the brightest kid in the class, and i never say i am. Get it?

You should be, because during the status as a student, when you're not skillful enough to face the formatted test but still clever enough to get an As in the swarm of Bs, (Get it?) you'll never know how the motivating books write about us.

For examples, the not-so-genius may not score as high as the front liners, however they maybe one of the creators of the cooperation that might change the world, like the brand of the fruit that chase your doctor away, and the softness that is beyond MILISOFT. Not to mention the guy who change the symbol of EUREKA in to a light bulb. (In case you don't understand, he's the creator of the real stuff.)

As the brightest kid, well they are the peak of the academics, what else the motivating books can say, find your dream, (Which is always the hardest part) chase it, succeeeeeeeeed!!!!!! Something like that, i don't know.

For us, well nothing to say? yes, we have, but the books never teach us about how to do, that's why these kind picked the smartest choice, be the chocolate scoop under the sprinkles. NO, we are not surrendering to the reality, so CHANGE!!! your thinking way!!!

The Sunday after the week we went to our national science park. Mainly as a learning trip for the NOBEL's awards special or something, i forgot. We get to do or watch ONLY some simple hands-on experiments. We get do listen a bunch of professional chemist presenting their job which is too professional for non-professionals like us.

Gladly, the trip is more worthy as we, (actually me and one of my friends ONLY.) get to surf the whole building even though it cost 5 RINGGIT each. We didn't force the others the come, we are guinea pigs to them to test the exhibitions. But, when as we confirmed the blast off base, the rocket was launched. so, TOO LATE. MUAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

But they really should work on the exhibitions. As physics come first and creates a universe, and chemistry creates compounds and planets along with biology which explained life-forms and brains that proved all the theory in front, they shouldn't just put two exhibition with different size together at the same time. The Major and Minor just formed obviously.

Went to PUTRAJAYA where our prime minister works, bad weather won't stop the Photography Society from photographing. Ten or less or more people standing at a same spot flashing at the lightning bolts. For a weather, 20 lightnings are plenty. For us, unless we got it, never.

I'll never write post about girls' mind, even a graph can't stand it, how can i?

I Celebrate My Sixteenth Birthday
without having the whole state like Miley Cyrus.

Who needs pack gifts which you might break it in the future when you have friendships and family that last forever unless you mess it up?

Handshakes and greets with love and SMS that cost them but not for me unless i replied "Thank you." is the presents i treasured. But i do have gifts too. I am not that lonely.

But my Google Reader is, Guys! Girls! Update it already!

Thanks for your time.
It worth more than a dime.

This sounds like a lie,
But i still have to say
GOODBYE
