Saturday and Sunday is now officially the most hectic, intense days in a week. It is no longer the relaxation day or the gaming day of my life (although gaming and having fun is a major part in it)...
This Saturday I went to Tsun Jin High School to donate blood and meet up with some old pals, teacher. My father brought us to school very early (around 7.30am) just to avoid the long and boring waiting line. My task is to take my sisters results and donate my blood. Well, not actually taking the results, just lining up early to get the "numbering" ticket. Than sit in there and wait.
It is suppose to be a very easy task, and indeed it is. But later on my friend mother actually call up and asked me to help her to grab a "numbering" ticket on her behalf. Hell, I didn't know anyone that is same class with him, nor even know this friend very well. So, my friend mother plan is that a stranger would go into a totally unknown class, and proclaim himself to be someone, and took the ticket? What? that's unfair to others, they are only able to grab their ticket when they arrive. Why She should be quilified to acquire her ticket in advance.
I struggle for quite some time, deciding whether I should help her or not. But it is hard to turn down someone, especially that someone is a passion mother. Just a little self-centred, she still think what best for herself and her son. And so, I figure that deal couldn't do me any harm ( only mental embarrassment that I cast upon myself ) . So I brave myself and go forward.
The student in charge seems to be in a confuse and awe. But he gave me a ticket anyway. ( I'm sure he will question the friend of mine later on )
to be continue....

Cycle
And then we are regretting again,
asking why I have been such a lazy fellow this all along.
A few days later... "Let's have fun. "
Then , Examination draw near..
And start blaming again..
The cycle continue

H1N1
Before we begin, check this sinchew's article out.
Well, I discussed this with my cousin before, regarding the treats H1N1 posted. In my opinions, people over-reacted to this new born virus. Their vision are all too focused on the developments on H1N1, when there are a lot more impending treat just over the horizon.
What I meant is, people are always too observed with short-term treats. In short, they are short sighted. Easily misguided and confused by the surroundings. Maybe the human evolution has evolved to such a point, that we always priorities new born, short term treats. There are so many long-term problems that have plague humans, but only a few could comprehend it, let alone deal with it.
Say, a lot of us only study when the examination is near, although we clearly know that the benefits of long-term study.We don't recognize it until it is very damn near. Only when the problems come to light, we start to deal with it. But it may already be too late.

Day 1 as teacher...
Back to the school again...
Well, the good news is the teacher I'm replacing for one weeks does not teach much. Only have 3-6 class per day. But, since I'm free and is a so called substitute teacher. I will substitute those class that teachers are absent on that day. It is not all on me, of course... For example, I taught 6 class (each lasted half hour) today. 4 of them is classes from the teacher I replace, the other 2 is substitution classes. Oh,I almost forgotten. I'm teaching mainly Bahasa Malaysia and physical activities ( Why BM again?)...
Well, the students seems to welcome my come back a lot ,but the first thing they always say to me was" Teacher, you cheated us..." . There I go, explaining why and how again.
Have quite some fun, for myself and most of the students. I always wishes the classes could be more than sitting there motionless while listening to brain wash. Adding some stories around also help to stir up the atmosphere. They just love ghost stories, although I would personally prefer those stories with educational values. But I guess they just want to have fun and relax instead of learn to improve themselves. (I would only tell them stories if they behaved well, as a reward.)
It is funny how people love the kind of thrill and immense feelings that ghost stories gives (also applied to others like roller coaster). Maybe live nowadays are too way damn boring that they need these to feel that they are alive again ?

Teacher again....
It turned out that I'm going to be a substitute teacher again tomorrow, from 25/6 - 2/7...
Might extend if things go wrong. But even if the situation is extreme .The most I can work is only till 8/7. Because my flight to Australia is on 9/7....
The vice-headmistress of the SJCK Tan Cheng Lock phoned me and asked to me to go for this job.She said that they lacked manpower, and those kids need teacher in urgent. I felt like the situation was almost same with what my cousin experience before.
My family stand is neutral in this, so it is up to me to decide. I wanted to learn, to experience somehow of life, of teaching. Although the lazy part of me strongly disagree, I still manage to flush it off after a few moments of struggling...
And guess what, I am regretting it now...haha
There goes my tons of free time.
Luckily, it should only last five days...
Let's make full use of it.

Reporting status..
I did not update my status with a lot of friends.
Because I enjoy keeping whereabouts of me a secret.
And if nobody ask, probably no one is interested.
So why should I keep u guys updated....
My father actually once complained to me.
Asking why I have become a secretive person.
A person who, share little with his friends about himself...
Well, I don't really know why, but I do know one thing.
I like to remain myself a mysterious.
Then Qi Soon called me last weekend,
asking me if the rumor he heard is true,
that I will be departing for ANU in two weeks...
I then realize I kept too much...
even some of my best friends didn't know until now.
I am never a man who like to spread my words.
But I guess I should share a little now...

Continue on Father's Day
Where was I again?..OK, here we go
After the delicious dinner, we went to Sunway Pyramid to watch movie. My sister insisted to go to Sunway Pyramid because IOI Mall cinema does not have the movie "Night in The Museum 2" up and running (every though she saw it before, she still wanted very much to watch it all over again). So, to Sunway pyramid we go.
Unfortunately or fortunately (depends on from whose perspective you are looking from ), the "NitM2" movie has only a few seats left to buy. We are, afterall one big, six members family. We couldn't squeeze ourselves inside and still be together.What was the meaning of this movie watching if we ain't together? And so, our only resolve were to watch another movie. It was Monster Vs Alien that was up at 10.45pm.
My younger sister, Ming Lin was is a deep depress after knowing that we could not watch "NitM2". I discover it and tried to reason her out of it.(Sometimes, I think I'm too logical..Could I have shut down most of my emotions?) Telling her that is it our only choice. And her only options now is to show a sad face to influence everyone around or to accept the fact and have fun.
(Again this seems a bit too logical.. ppl should be sad after failing to achieve what they want.)
We got around 1.5 hours left to waste before it starts. Thus we went to Popular (book store) and spent almost all our time there. I find it quite interesting that while my sister and me, myself could dive in into the pits of books immediaty and happily, my brother, on the other hand, couldn't. On the contrary, he find it very boring. He keep bugging us to do something else.
Atlas, me, my father and my little brother went to the Harvey Norman store (Tech Store), which was nearby. This solve my little brother boredom...
Seriously, the biggest issue I worry about my family is my brother.He is smart but he lack the motivation to learn, to drive himself forward. Didn't do well in school examinations, didn't pay attention in class..And my family seems partly given up on him already.
The worst part is that I won't be able to look after him when I'm in Aus....
The movie was funny, it brings out a lot of laughter from the audiences. It was successful movie, I would say, to create humor and fun in the atmosphere.I can't complain on anything except it lacked a educational value and lessons to be learnt...
After the movie, we drag our tired bodies ( it is over 12.00am already) home...

Father's day Celebration on 21/5
It really has been a while since I updated my blog, and I still haven't posted my memories on the trip to P.Langkawi , P.Redang...
I am now afraid that times has eroded some of the details of the trip. That I could no longer write down a vivid picture of those experience. I do sincerely hope that my experience and memories do be able to cope with time. As the content of memo and exp never stop growing.
And today, my family celebrated our father's and mother's day together. Well, did it sound bad?
I could hardly remember the last time my family has such a celebration. But this time, it was great...
We went to kenzai japanese restaurant to eat our dinner. A restaurant where my friend- Jing Ren, works. The food was delicious and most importantly fresh. Nobody can denied the importance of freshness when eating japanese meal. We ate a lot ( I didn't write their name down.. cause I forgotten the names... sigh) and it costed us a lot. Ending total RM178 for 6 person meal, and that is after 10% discount ( it's good to have friends around, haha). We are all full after that ( I think we ordered too much). Nevertheless, the price is reasonable, I guess we picked the right place. Applause to Jing ren for recomending this nice place to me and my sister for bringing up the whole idea..
Continue tommorrow.. it is 1.42am already.... should really be sleeping, I need to wake up to meet up with others tommorrow.

Back from P.Redang and P.Langkawi trip
Being busy from 30/5 till 7/6 ...
Missed and gained tons of things.
Could not make myself to badminton for two weeks,
Did not attend steve's birthday (S3S3) gathering.
and many more..
Mean while,
Gone through a trip with Taiwan study group friends to P.Langkawi,
Unlike any other standard trip I went,
It was nice and easy, we play and go at our own pace.
Which means Missing our flight and still have excitement and fun all the way...
Then P.Redang,
A trip made up by combination of three family,
Learn snorkeling, have fun and relaxing.
I'm surprise I could enjoyed the view of the natural scene,
I always thought these enjoyment should be left to those older
Maybe it's because I'm a lot older now...
All together,
Nice and memorable...
Gonna write a more vivid review and thoughts later on
