Passed my driving test!

Ok I passed.Big deal. It ended as soon as it started. Driving is like walking to me!

How can one fail a walking test unless one is extremely drunk?

But today im here to give you PJ-ians a guide to the most pain-free driving experience.

1.Dont take your license In PJ!

The first thing that comes to mind after I asked the 100th person is how corrupt the whole PJ system is. Stories of duit suap(bribing), incompetence, and the likes always come up.

In PJ,
a) most schools do not pick you up from your own home(you have to walk to the nearest branch)
b) the driving schools encourage bribing, saying unless you bribe, the chances of you passing are next to nil. So of course it will be harder! JPJ there have become expectant of your bribe.
c) the coaches there(majority) do not go through the run down of what happens during the exam such as proper procedures before you even begin...... So how do you expect to pass? They also aledgely want you to fail so you retake the test and top up for more lessons.
d) Although the pricing is cheaper, it comes up to be the same(after bribing)
e) The more established ones provide insurance
f)Newer cars(not some crappy kancil with a spent gearbox system and hand break)
g)
The service of course,is better

So you will be paying the same price for better services.

My tip:
i)Ask around before you decide to learn in a particular place. A place with the reputation of heavy bribing, jammy roads and incompetent coaches are of course a big no-no.
ii) Check out their benefits, do they come to your house? Is there insurance?

Well I went to Metro One Stop center in Subang. The course cost Rm998(10 ringgit for picture+65 ringgit for P registration). I can declare that I am very happy with the service provided there. From what I see, bribing there is not very rampant(i guess it still happens), the service there was fantastic. So dont be hesitant on paying the extra 200 ringgit and there is no extra hidden costs plus unlimited lessons until you are ready.

Its worth it.

From what I see, the JPJ there are not overly strict. So research on where you will be taking your test is very important.

*Im not advertising for Metro but seriously.The service there is way better from the horror stories from my friends. All seasoned drivers.

2)Take your test this year

With burgeoning fuel prices, the cost of taking lessons will increase drastically. But worry not, they will increase the prices only after the election. So once its election time, its high time you book a place 1st so you pay this years price instead of next years.
Its a reported 200-300 ringgit increase everywhere.So if you are 16, fret not, inquire with the driving school of your choice on this issue.

*Make sure you go to an established center in this case, to reduce the risk of your coah running away with your money.(it has happened before)

3)Relax!
Just do as you do in practice, ignore the JPJs presence and you will be fine.

Well thats that. I hope this will help you to enjoy a pain free driving experience.

Beowulf in a nutshell.

I saw Beowulf with my bros the other day.(warning spoilers below)



Here is the basic plot, Grendal



Dont likey King Hrothgar because the king make big noise in Mead hall,
Declaring the night a night of singing,dancing,mead and fornication.
So Grendall crush puny humans but spares life of King Hrothgar.

The bard sing for miles away on Hrothgar's shame.Because the king is too old to go out battling those darned demons, he calls apon heroes across the land to rid him of the accursed Grendal.

So here comes the strong,mighty,talented

BEOWULF!!!!!!!!!!

Because he is so mighty, he fights grendal in the nude. Because hey, the bloody demon is unarmed, naked and obviously doesnt have my mental capacity, lets have a rumble in the nude!
(as equals of course)

So grendal crashes in on beowulf while he lays asleep, in the nude, slaughters all his men but his faithful dog, Wiglaf.

He then wakes jumps around and discovers through useful prodding with his sword that grendal has no balls.

Disheartened he wedges the demons hand between the doors and shouts

Im am beowulf!

For his work in slaying the accursed and slimy demon, the king gives Beowulf a cup(a golden dragon cup mind you)

-hey its hannibal lector!legend has it he ate the dragon he slew-

When what he really wants is

Yummy its those 'cups' i want!

Meanwhile, grendal crawled in to the hand of his mother and died.

Of course mama wont take that lying down wont she?



So she kills of the rest of his merry men, wiglaf lived because he was faithfully waiting by the boat.

So the mighty beowulf goes of to slay thy demon.

Well,

who can resist this?


Quote:

You took a son away from me beowulf,
Enter me! Enter me!
Make me a new one!

Enter me? Hardly appropriate for a U movie.

Unfortunately they didn't animate the really animate movements....................

As they rejoice in the spilling of the rancid blood of the beast which spawned the retched,accursed and hated Grendal

The king announces that EVERYTHING he owned will be passed to beowulf in the event of his death.

He then jumps of the castle and dies.

Long live beowulf

The scene skips to several years to the future(or the past,depends on which was you look at it)

There, some puny raiding party enjoyed the presence of the great beowulf before their head were lopped of their necks, their women rapped and their children forced into prostitution.

He then releases one man to spread his gaelic propaganda.

Then a dragon attacks his kingdom.



He battles it.

surprise, surprise!
Its his son with grendals,mama!( so thats makes grendal his step son? nephew?)
So it apears that Greandal was King Hrothgar's son! Gasps we didn't see that coming!

So they battle it out, burning anything and everything in their way.

In the end both die.

Wiglaf is made king.

And the demon comes out of the water and rapes wiglaf.

Oh NO! NOT AGAIN!

So the wheel of times turns and turns and turns..............

In a smaller nutshell the movie can be defines as thus....

I am beowulf!
Grendal dies.

I am beowulf!
He gets laid

I am beowulf!
Dragon dies

I am beowulf
He dies.


Well thats that.

Enjoy

New hair cut!

Just got a new 'look'

Wanna see it?

Yesterdays outing to bkt.Kiara park went like this.

We walked around

Wow crickets!

We walked some more

Crickets!

More Crickets!

While we were busy searching for insects, other insects were searching for us!
1) Mosquitoes
-they just kept buzzing around veron, eating her alive!
-Poor Wan Tian, her legs were devoured

2)Fire ants(so named after their fiery bite)
-Me and Veron were so indulged in catching a small dragonfly that unbeknown to us, we were stepping on a red ants nest! If I wasn't the one jumping there trying to get ants of me, It would have been Insanely funny.....

Besides crickets, mosquitoes and ants we retrieved
1)Half dead butterflies
2)Dragon flies

Thats that. Couldn't expect more lively insects from a place trodden by man. If the insects there were stupid enough to venture down there they obviously would not live to see monstrous sizes.
So next time we probably be better of in a virgin jungle or something.


Anyways the bug catcher award goes to...
Chris

After traversing the entire park, we ended up catching animals of a different phylum altogether.
1)Fish-Ikan Billis aka anchovies
2)Prawns- More like little stones

Besides that we spent our time playing in the playground and disturbing random children.

Owh yeah not to forget that Jia Hui got in trouble with her mum cos of this.
Sorry Jia, dont be sad ok? :(

Wow, what a productive day...........

At least we all had fun right?

Gained back 3kg!

Sorry no pics yet. haven't bought a new camera yet >.<

I just came back from the triple celebration!
We had a good but cheap dinner at .99 in TTDI
I had :
1)Mushroom Soup
-good think soup with actual mushroomy bits in it. Worth the price
2)Spagetti cabonara
-A HUGE serving+ garlic bread.Yum!
3)Ribena Longan XXL
-Basicly Ribena and longan together with nata de coco cubes in it.
4)Left over scraps from my grand mum. Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we rushed over to PiratesIce Cream!
I had this huge sundae which made me swear of ice cream for at least a month.

So I weighed my self and found that all the weight that i lost during prefects camp was gained back just like that.

Way to go Yie Hahn

Update: My whole class is going to Kiara park to catch insects.

But unfortunately Jia Hui's mum doesn't let her go due to safety reasons. So I'm calling her right now as im typing this, persuading her to go! Lolz.

Jia Hui come lah! It wont be the same withought you!

Well now im feeling very fat and heavy and my eye lids are dropping...............................

Cant....seem...to....ujgdhc

Back from camp!

I came back from prefects camp tired.

I broke my personal record!

I slept close to 20 hours, beating my previous record of 13 hours. Im so proud of my self, sob..sob...

Well, i would like to write more on prefects camp but after all,

What happens at prefects camp, stays at prefects camp ;)

Tommorrow is gonna be a triple celebration for my family,
1)My twin brothers got 5As (so thats 10 As) in their UPSR exams
2)My mums birthday
3)My dads new cushy corporate job

Im proud of my bros for doing a great job academically and at the same time over-achieving in their co-curriculum.Track-and field,foot-ball, robotics,dance.... you name it.
They are also 'players' in their school. While they have broken many a girls heart and made them cry, I have yet to do so. Its evident by the number of birthday party invitations they get every week on how in demand they are. Well they are very cute when they come to me and say,

1)owh so fugly dowan lah.....
2)Sigh..so many birthdays, no money to buy presents....
3)-Insert girls name- is not going
4)-birthday girl- is not speaking with -insert girls name- dowan go lah later she jealous

I tell you they are so random....

And when they come up to me and and shout at me

Takau!!!!!!!!!

That really gets me going and i just love wrestling them to the ground! Although its getting harder as they grow bigger(and there is two of them by the way.)

They are so different yet so alike from each other even though they are twins. One loves to read,is more serious,more hard working but yet the other gets all the girls. But in the end they balance each other out. They are each the best of friends but yet are the worst of enemies half the time.

Well they are growing up so fast and they will soon have their prospective girls (they already have targets), effectively surpassing their Kor in this subject. (i havent had a serious one yet)

So i would just like to wish to ya Congrats in your results!

Here are some pics of them!


Yie Hong


Yie Yang


Thats what I call hidung besar!


Wow what a haul!!!


Awwwwwwwwwww..................!

Ps: these pics are quits old( they are much,much more leng chai now ;)

If im the oldest my second brother is the tallest. He is in form two now and he is a giant!
Basket ball star,hustler and player. What a combination

Wishing you luck in next years exams!

Man I love ya guys!


My mums birthday is tomorrow and she is 4x! But yet she looks like my elder sister(from the admiration of my friends) Good work dad for digging up such a hot chick!
They have been together since my dad was in form 5 and she in form 3. He even chased after her all the way to Australia to woo her back to Malaysia. (had he failed i wouldn't be here typing this) So just wanna say mum,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

My dad is getting a new job effective on Dec 1st. Do us proud dad!!!!!!!!!!

Ps: I want a car and a new computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well thats that im still recovering from camp so i don't really feel like typing now.

So until next time,

Toodle do!

The miracle that is my computer!

Wow. My computer just chose to crash and die for one whole week then suddenly and unexplainably it just came back alive again. I cant explain it, one minute it just refused to turn on
then the next it just did. When ever i turned the power it would always started to beep like an old hag. Then when i turned it on today (crossing my fingers, don't ask me why...) like nothing happened, the old B@$tard just lept to life....

Magic.

Well Im in heaven again as I have an active computer and active internet connection!(my father finally paid)

Good news! I finally ended my last day of school ( for the year unfortunately at Smk.Sultan Abdul Samad) tomorrow I will be off to genting for my prefects camp, so no posting until Friday :(

At least so far im keeping abreast as a blogger and updating frequently!

Driving test on the 29th this month! (wish me luck!)

So until Friday,

Toodle do!

Tips Soalan Bocor Stpm 2007 adalah seperti berikut:




-Kosong-





Sorry there is no such thing. (although there is if you try!)

Anyways,
You should have studied harder!

Go read a book instead of wasting your time looking online!

Labels: , , , ,

Good luck spm & stpm takers!

Good luck you guys in this years spm & stpm examinations.

Relax lah its ONLY spm...........

Just do it properly and you will succeed.

And in the event you don't do so well there is always college if you have the $

If you dont do so well and dont have $ there is always 'Form 6!' just like me!

At form 6, how well you do in spm is irrelevant. Its just like a fresh start, a new chance!
A student who scored 12As in spm will not necessarily do better then a person who scored 9As.
The important thing is your own hard and consistent work.

So for all you spm takers out there chill,

Its only SPM!

Ps: to those taking stpm, die lar...............!

Finally caught the cat that has been stealing my FOOD!












Did i mention how I hate particular cats? The type who look down on humans with disdain?
Well this cat Is one of them. Throwing excrement around, waltzing around as he was the master of the neighborhood and confiscating the food of his vassals. Yea, those were the days, chasing him out of my garden with my hose or broom stick.

Finally took the brains over brawn method. So we invested in a trap! Its kinda like a mouse trap but bigger.

Bait: One Fish Head

Sent it to PAWs. Good riddance.

May you be neutered and gay. Hows it feel withought your balls huh? Not so 'manly' now eh?
