Some people believe that teenage years is the best time in life...
this is the time where we have the time to join sports events, making a lot of friends and experimenting new things...
Perhaps it?s the time of life where we meet our first love..
For some of us it might be the years where we faces a lot of exams. Some of us triumph greatly and some might have thier own interesting story..
not to mention the sweet and sour experience of co-curriculum activities.

so let?s share our teenage life experience togather...

When I am thinking of my school life....
I feel that my life was greatly influensed by 2 things :

PMR and SPM

because of these 2 things, I have to study a lot and go to tuition...
I even have to catch busses and trains from Kepong to KL for tuition...
I have been studying in PUSAT TUITION KASTURI since form 1
and I have meet a lot of friends from many school like Zhun Kong, Zhong Hua, SMP, and so on....
sometimes after tuition I will wander around Jalan Petaling (this is really a great nostalgia)
I was also doing my tuition in Pusat Tuition Chin where I got a lot of Tips rahsia for SPM

I have done some project for my exams... although it was tiring, but it?s really satisfying...

When I was in form 5 I have joined SUKMA 2000 representing my state in wushu event... it was really a great experience for me because athlete life is so much different from student life... one must really experience it...
Before that I have some sweet memories when I was participating in other sports events... not to mention some motivational camp like Mutiara 2000
Wah... I really miss my athlete life...

I miss the school field and I miss my schoolmates + teachers...
these things really mean a lot to me in the past and I wish to keep it in my memory.... they are my treasure.

PUSAT TUITION KASTURI


Hmm... i heard of it before from some friends who went to the tuition center for History. Hehe... They were planning to burn the building down, coz all the soalan ramalan weren't accurate for my year.

PUSAT TUITION KASTURI


Hmm... i heard of it before from some friends who went to the tuition center for History. Hehe... They were planning to burn the building down, coz all the soalan ramalan weren't accurate for my year.

hehe... the sejarah ramalan is very accurate. Mr Daiva who teaches sejarah is super humourous as he?s almost perfect in making ramalan... He teaches sejarah so good that I uses 10 paper in my SPM to write Sejarah.. so confident

I don?t like some teachers there like cikgu hasyim (BM teacher) but I enjoy learning under cikgu Rahim, Sukri and Shariman...

I hope I still haven?t throw away my PMR note coz I have forgotten some of my teachers... lol

When I was a teenager I really love to play games. Some of my favourite games were Dune 2, warcraft I, II
X-Com I, II
and most important of all

Final Fantasy 7... I really love the story a lot of this game... too bad I have changed Clouds name into wushu... and Aries??name into Dream

Ding dang and doraemon were no more my central subject so I move on to other interest.

my favourite music in my teenage life are new age (kitaro, yanni, enya etc.) and er hu music by eric lee...

everytime when I was studying I listen to eric lee and kitaro... it has been like that for many years.. even until now...
just that now I am listening more to sarah brightman.

I started cycling when I was 17 years old. My mother never let me cycle as she always says it?s dangerous lah.... road side too many cars bla bla...
that?s why I only got my driving licence just recently...
My friends who learn wushu with me tough me cycling... I donno why it took me more than a month to master the skill of keeping myself balanced on my bike...
after that I keep cycling like crazy..
I even cycle to INTEC/PPP everyday...

eww... i think it is tandem lar elansar..... nvm.... i like cycling a lot... i live on a hill so i alwiz cycle up and down the hill.... i used to be very naughty....my parents alwiz thought tht i cycled nearby when i have covered the entire hill...haha.... there were a few times when i was almost knocked down by a car...but i managed to keep it a secret.... i was afraid i would be banned from cycling outside the house...

i did a lot of cycling too...although it was those old typed of bicycle...the bicycle that my mum used when she was young... it stopped functioning when i am about Form 4, so after that, it was those normal mountain bike (the average one lar, not those expensive one)....

ic3b3rg, guess you are lucky... there has been a case of two cyclist who could not control their bicycle going down hill and knocked down by car over at Cornell already... a hilly campus...

Just wondering, walking up the slope is easier or cycling up? Because I tried cycle up and it is so energy-sapping..

iQing
06-06-2004, 02:51 AM
same here. cycling was my advanture. in my teenage life I love to explore places where I haven?t been to esp the nearby taman...

sometimes I even cycle for many hours... I even manage to cycle from Kepong to Jalan Kuching...I think that trip took about 4 or 5 hours... the worst thing is when my bike spoilt halfway when I was doing long range exploring...

haha.. still remember when was my first time learning cycling. i was with my cousins in Pasir Gudang, Johor.. not remember how old was i that time... i did langgar into longkang before... haha... made my cousins that few years older than me so gang jeong and brought me to a place to clean me up before brought me home... we did cover it... (actually i am not sure whether really been kept in secret or not... maybe my cousins just tipu me as a small little kid that time... lol )

aftet that, i used to be cycling to school when i was in standard 5 and standard 6... hehe.... there is very safe to cycling to school which is just located inside the chinese village i stay...
when got free time, my friends and i sure cycling around the village. i did fall down and my left knee got injured seriously once before during standard 5. the funny thing is i get injured at the same place again at standard 6.... so until now, the "ba hen" still can be seen on my left knee... :P

emmm.... in korea, did cycle at the midnight, which the second day was a public holiday, with friends (around 9 persons) before... we cycled from our house to a famous tourist spot in Seoul... 13 km journey took us around one hour and half to reach there by cycling relaxing while "xin shang" the night scenery along Seoul River. ^^

06-06-2004, 03:35 AM
jane... what a romantic night u have in Seoul... haha.. in my place here in Germany I cycle a lot too... but not at night. In germany the road system is good where bikes have thier own lane... so it?s really safe here..

until now I have 3 bikes..
one in Germany..
one at my home town..
and one more I use it in Cemara...

German bikes are really powerful... if u have chance u must try it... it?s 7 geared!!!

I had an accident while biking when i was in Form 2. Just got home from captain's ball practice. I was cycling happily that time, when suddenly, this car which was stationary suddenly moved forward and swerved towards me (i think i didn't realize the car got driver inside and the driver didn't realize i was cycling near the car that time). The car hit my front tyre, and i lost balance and WHAM! whoa, leg gushed with blood... (ok ok, exaggerated a bit, didn't gush out, but there was a large quantity of blood flowed out of my knee that time)... worst was, my front tyre went crooked... luckily i was like near jit sin that time (0.5km away from my house), so cycle slowly back home... The stupid driver didn't even get out and help... Just honked at me ....

and no, my parents didn't scold... Just worried about my injury. Hehe.... Luckily i am still allowed to cycle, even though now i dun have my bicycle liao (given away to other ppl. now use motorbike).

In my high school, Jit Sin, almost everything was done and coordinated by students, including planning for all the events at school. I have planned school speech day, sports day, traffic week, teachers' day celebrations, anti aids week, drugs prevention week etc. We basically have almost full power of planning the event, except that we need to get their final approval.

School magazine etc were done by students completely too, with just the principal and senior teachers, providing their half page speech. So, we were involved in sourcing for funds, getting advertisements, organizing competitions to get articles, organizing photography company to take photos etc.

For instance, drugs prevention week, that I organize when I was Form 4 with about 20 more students. I was the main in charge and we planned it over for a couple of months. I went to JPJ, police stations a few times to talk to those officers there to arrange to get those exhibits, arrange for them to come to school to have talks, even demonstrations of how the police dogs finding drugs. Although it is school level, we do get cooperation from the school to arrange students from every batch to go and watch the events the we organize. My PK HEM and discipline teacher helped me in making the first introduction to the head police officer in the district and after that, we get to do anything we want. It was kind of neat experience.

In fact, every single corner of the school compound were taken charge by uniformed bodies. For instance, each uniformed body would be in charge of a field and a garden to take care of all the grass, water it every day, beautify it etc. Even painting the school compound, water the toilet were done by students. The more uniformed body/society volunteered in this aspect, the more flexibility we have in our organizing of events. Typically there wasn't much interference, as long as we don't go overboard. Having activities from 8am to 5pm every day during holiday is fine with my school, including we can have many days of preparations of camping, camping itself.

In fact, talking about camping. During my time, each uniformed body used to organize at least 2 campings a year on its own. Usually 1 in the school compound during mid year and another big one out of my school compound, Mengkuang Dam etc. We rented bus to go and chop down bamboo, we need to check on all those before we bring the members there, have a whole day of chopping about 200 bamboo down and have a lorry to send it back to our camp site and the next few days, prepare those bamboo to build gadget etc, until camping days.

After I left, right now, the school has a central camping at end of year, where all the 7 uniformed body would have their camping simultaneously at my school compound, with even the principal pitch a tent himself to go through the camping with the students.

Those are nice and memorable experience.

Most of the teachers are very supportive of our events, including events out of school.

Even like school level competition, like inter-class debate competition. Students were the ones that organize it. I organized a BM parliamentary-style inter-class debate one week before SPM, with a few friends, after being requested by the teacher that brought us for inter-school competition. It was nice experience organizing it. As we were the first batch that knew about parliamentary-style debate and we were about to leave the school, so we organized a briefing session for those interested in debates and we had a few workshop to share all the secrets, experience that we had and also we organized the inter-class competition. We were the organizer, we had to talk to teachers (particularly BM teacher), to have the competition in various classes, with a fixture for the students. 4 of us were also the judges for all the matches of debates, so we really had a nice time. I think we were judges for about 15 debate matches over that one week. It was nice experience.

In my high school, it is same as chenchow's, almost everything was done and coordinated by students, including planning for all the events at school.there's a tradition in our school which is f4 is the year for u to show ur leaderships qualities and to show ur talent.so f4 will be the busiest year in the whole secondary school life.I even got sick that year because i was involed in too many activities and the pressure is driving me mad apart from school work and tuition classes which i had to handle.

not sure bout where to start coz there's just too many things going on in my f4 life.Mmm...let's talk about the school concert.Every year around february and march our school will organise a school concert to raise fund for the school and to get students involved in organising it.the f5 student will help and give advices to us during the whole process.

The preparation started months b4.An organising commitee will be picked by seniors and teachers to carry out this difficult task.It is a very big responsibility for those students who r appointed to be a member of the commitee coz this is a three days concert which the tickets will be sold around the town

i was appointed as the leader of the new students group.I need to recruit talented new student as members of my group and to come up with a programme for them to perform.Their performance will be inspected by principal,teachers and many other "big people".I have to keep my finger crossed every time the new students went on stage during the rehearsals coz if anything went wrong,i have to change and plan for sth new to suit all those who r inspecting.I was in charge of every tiny bits of problem including what will their costume be,where and how do they do their makeup,r they feeling alright,will they be able to perform well on stage....

Apart from that,i myself was involved in other programmes in the concert.i had to rushed here and there in my school to go to practices and to check on my group

although the job was tiring and sometimes frustrating.I had a very good time and it was definitely a worthwhile experience.I learned how to cope better with stress,how to be patient,how to work with ppl and i made many new friends in the whole process.

so when i was in f5,it was my turn to guide the juniors

Hmm... in my school, the teachers favor the F6 students more. Most of the top posts and director boards must be F6 students. The policy is that they assume the F4 and F5 will continue F6 and they must give F6 students leadership opportunity. This is so frustrating, especially when the F6 does nothing and give the work to the F4 and F5...

Thanks Sylvia for sharing. It must be a great learning experience.

For my school, as I said earlier, head prefect is from Form 6, but that doesn't mean that there isn't much leadership opportunities for Form 4, Form 5 students. Most of the presidents to committee of student groups are in Form 4, whereas those very dedicated one would be retained as advisors. So, in my school, teacher advisors, don't really do much. The committee would typically seek the advise of those past presidents, past committee, including those that are many years ago. In fact, even up till today, I still receive letter from my uniformed bodies about events organized by them. In fact, for events like annual campfire, the invitation was sent to every committee member since the inception of the uniformed bodies, and their view points are very well-taken by the current committee.

thank you iQing for telling me abt this wonderful thread....

I've my fair share of great experience on my bike....
back in form4 and form 5, i cycled to school, everyday...

monday til Saturday....since my school is situated in the middle of Subang Jaya, just beside a major road, it is really congested withcars every morning... and i really enjoy my time, cycling and passing all the slow moving cars... and i can reach the school in less than 5 minutes....

every morning, my mother will see me off... and i will wave a good bye and off i go... still remember there were days when i woke up at 7.15 am and rushed all the way and still managed to reach the school compound by 7.25am.... kekeke....i did bath... at least i wet my body....

oh yar, if it rains, then my mom will fetch me to the school. and i will have to walk back home after the school dismiss...

luckily my school doesn't offer Form 6, all the top post are awarded to the Form 5 students.... i have lots of opportunity to be actively involved inmany societies and clubs...

i think Secondary school life is my most memorable time of my life bcoz it is really stress free... and ppl can be so real.... and so true... still remember a bunch of us bought food and share it in the canteen every other day... everybody will chuck in their share and we have good food and good laugh everyday... and when there's no teacher in the science stream classes(our teachers seem to dissappear some time),we will open up the partitions between classes, and we will roam freely in the classes...

and the football session during PE... although i'm no Ronaldo or David Beckham, it is fun to have 30 of us chasing after the ball.... wearing school pants (half rolled up).... and wearing a white t-shirt...

and every Wednesday, i will go to Sunway Pyramid for the bowling training session... my classmate is in the National Junior team, and i did learn some tips from her.... at least, i make it to the school team....

and every weekend, i will go for movie or skating session with my frens.... at Sunway Pyramid too... or go down to Lowyat Plaza to get cheap cds....

and last but not least, are those endless hours which i spent in Cyber Cafe ... let me see... starting from Warcraft 2, then, Starcraft (form 1- 4), Diablo 2(Form 4 - 5), Counter Strike,.....Quake 3, Unreal Tournament.... kekeke...

and really missed form 4 and form 5.... a lot...

I walk to school and I don?t have form 6 too.. but yet those persatuan posts are dominated by the same group of people all the time.. no chance to grab them.. haha

in my form 4 + 5 years the most memorable experience is my athlete life.. .hehe

13-06-2004, 02:59 PM

When I go through this thread, first page and early second page seems to cover a lot about cycling....haha :lol:

So I wanna share something about cycling too.
Erm..cant remember when I started cycling, but I know I learnt how to cycle at home, at the care porch using my mum's ancient Raleigh bicycle. She used to send me to school during my primary years using that bicycle. I can still remember that when I started learning, this little kid staying few houses away kept looking at me and my bro. She had this bicycle with the two small wheels behind to balance her, whereas me and my bro ride that big old bike without any help. She laughed at us many times when we falled down, but later after that, me and my bro managed to pass the "cycling test" and dad bought a new bike for us. Hehe...

Then, there was once in Form 1 if I'm not mistaken, I went to play badminton with my bro and his frens. Then went we're going home, we race with our bikes but somehow cycled too near to my bro's fren and I cant kept my balance. Everything happened so fast and all I can see were small plants dashing to my face and I ended up in the drain. I didnt suffer serious injuries, just some bleeding on my arms and legs, but my badminton racket "passed away". The whole frame broke into two, and that was my favourite racket. I felt so sad .... :cry: and never going to race again with my bike.

Then, there was one day when it rained heavily when I was cycling home from school. So I pedalled faster, and suddenly I need to brake cos I was going too fast. Then ended up with a few somersaults (ok...a bit exaggerate here...hehe), and was lucky enough to land near a busstop. Then I took shelter there. But the top part of my heel was bleeding badly. It took me several weeks for the wound to completely healed. The scar is still here with me till now.

About my secondary school life, well I studied in SMK Raja Mahadi in Klang, Selangor which is not a famous school. It's an infamous school. Lol...cos of the gangsterism and samsengs there. I guess.

Btw, I spent my most of my teenage years there, 5 years to be exact. It so hard to put all my 5 years experience there in words here. Erm... I was the school prefect since F1, and the assistant head prefect for the afternoon session during F2. I learnt a lot when I became the assistant head prefect. I felt that I did more work compared to the head prefect, as the prefect teacher always passed his work to me. I conducted the assemble every week, prepare the duty schedule for the prefects, write reports occasionally, read the "ikrar" every week and so on. The head prefect merely walk around and inspect the prefects. But anyway, I look at it positively as I actually gained more experience as compared to him.

Then PMR years in F3, werent that bad. Lot's of stress too, which I think it's normal. In F3, I went to tuition for the first time, cos I was afraid that I cant get straight A's in PMR. But later, I felt the tuition was really waste of money as I can do revision myself, and the tuition just kept repeating what I already know that made me felt so bored of it. After stopping tuition, I had more time to do revision myself and managed to get good results.

In F4, things started to change. I started to hate my school, the teachers and so on. The teachers are not good enough, especially my English replacement teacher. My first English teacher in F4 was very good, but she left for Australia not long after started teaching my class. Then had a few replacement teacher and the last one was the worse. She cant speak English properly, she cant pronounce English words properly and she's not even an English teacher. I remember that once, me and my friends asked her a word which we are not sure of the meaning. She explained and explained ......as if she knows the word, but when we checked the dictionary, it's nothing near what she told us. Was so disappointed. My whole year in F4 learnt nothing about English. We ended up teaching her English instead. Imagine students teaching an English teacher, English?

That's why in F4, I started to join tuitions again. Tuition centre is my second home. I kinda like my tuition centre actually, it's Pusat Tuisyen Delta, which is famous in Klang. However, the tuition centre owner, Mr Low(also my add maths tutor) is money minded. He kept raising the fees, charged us extra fees like nota fees and so on. But he's teaching was really good, I like his method of teaching add maths. It really works for me. I also like my other tutors like Mr Yeoh, my physics tutor and Ms Tay (Mr Low's fiancee), my Accounts tutor. Mr Yeoh's teaching is never a boring one, he used his laptop to teach us, with those interesting powerpoint slides, and his method of teaching is really good too. He's really a dedicated teacher too, he's willing to organise free extra classes, stay back late to help the students and many more. I really like him. Ms Tay, I admire her a lot because she's so young, beautiful and yet so succesful. She's really a good teacher too, she's really good in Accounts and she taught me a lot of things besides account. I think she's the woman behind Mr Low's success.. hehe...

Wow, so tired *wipes of sweat* and yet I'm only halfway through. *fuh*
I wonder if there's anyone who's willing to go through this post without missing a word...lol.. :roll:

Anyway, in F5, I was elected as the Group leader in prefect board. I was given a group of prefects and I have to supervise them, write reports about them and so on. Anyway, by F5, I was very disappointed about the prefect system. Firstly, the prefect teachers elected those samsengs to be prefects. They thought they can control the naughty ones easier this way, which I felt is a total failure. Spotchecks failed, discipline problem kept rising and prefects (those samseng prefect) themselves cant be controlled. I really dont know how the teachers think. Besides, they also elect those newly elected prefects to hold important and high ranks in the prefect board. The head prefect was also a newly elected prefect, merely 1 year of experience. Whereas, most prefects with 4 years of experience were not given any position. I was very disappointed with the system. Not that I wan to be a head prefect or hold any ranks, but there are a lot better prefects which are better than the newly elected ones. My classmate, for example, can really be a good prefect as he really can show his leadership qualities and his caring attitude is really a plus point. But wonder why the teachers cover their eyes. Somehow, I ended up not a good prefect in F5 due to my disappointment, skip duties to spend my time in class to study.

Anyway, that's a "brief" summary of my secondary school years. Hope u guys are not bored. You guys arent bored, are u? :wink:

at this point, i've skipped more than 3 lines.... i always do speed reading when i am sleepy... hehehe.... just to get the gist of it....

anyway, i also experienced the same thing as urs, andrew... in fact, of all teachers i have, only my elementary math, History, moral and Chem teachers are good... the rest? Hmmm... can die ler if depend on them...

i used to believe that teachers are very lazy and not committed until i went to Singapore. THeir working ethics are way much better than ours in Malaysia. The teachers arrive by 7 am and leaves at 6 or 7 pm, so that we students can approach them if we need their aid... THis is how teachers should be... dedicated and love teaching, not love the money they receive

I am sure you are waiting for the next installment of Michael's schooling ! (Not....)

Well...I am glad to say that my secondary school days were very unlike my primary school. Thank God! After all those years....

I moved school between the years so I have 2 separate experiences. Both are good, safe to say.

Unlike pandaboy, I din become a prefect or what..they offered me the job but I spurned it. I already had enough on my hands. Spent most of my Form 1 and 2 days playing and having fun. Represented the school and district (I din manage to get into National lvl :( ) in God knows what...debating, public speaking, badminton, etc...now I am bloody sick of it. But it was a very useful learning experience. I was doing it since Form 1 until Form 4. I sort of 'retired' in Form 5 and got involved in training the younger kids (Form 1 or 2) instead.

Form 3 and PMR...IMHO..was just a nuisance. Everybody was making a fuss out of it. I was more or less apathetic about it. I was looking forward to SPMs at that time. That was also the year I moved school. You could say that I was more concerned with other things besides studies.

In upper form, I kinda liked my new school more than my previous one. The teachers are better and so were the ppl. I still think there isn't a certain degree of closeness between most of us but we know each other well enough..I guess. I sort of regret not getting to know them better. Still, having a few close friends is better than none at all...

Form 5 was relatively carefree...the school din call on me anymore even though I had a reputation. If they did, I would have refused anyway. I was only involved with the PBSM. They gave me an instant 3-stripe 'Sargeant' promotion. How nice...
SPM came and went just like that. I can still remember..after our last paper. All the guys were throwing their stuff..practically emptying their bags from the top floor down. There was also a 'paper' burning ceremony later that night.

Before long..everybody was going their separate ways. The JPA guys stayed back while the rest went overseas. I din get the chance to say g'bye a few ppl, too bad...
I think we will still meet each again...can't wait to go home at the end of this year :D

I'm eager to meet my secondary school friends again this Saturday. Most of us are like everywhere and it's rather hard to meet together for a proper reunion. Sigh, dunno if things have changed a lot or not...

Everybody will change someday. I met up with my old friends last year, and the feeling is very different compared to those days in high school. I dont know why, it's just weird. After one year studying in different places, we're no longer that close as before.

yeah... and it's so hard to keep track with their lives... well, maybe we are placed in different environment... our mindset changed... our influence changed... what we viewed as nice might not be nice now.... sigh.... well, life has to go on... just see what happens tomorrow....


Coz when we leave this year, we won't be coming back
No more hanging out coz we're on the different track
And if you, got something that you wish to say
You'd better say it right now coz we dun have another day
Coz we're moving on and we can't slow down
This memory's playing like a film without sound..........

So, it has proven to a certain extent that what our parents have advised us is true, that at this stage we are still growing up, immature, 'unstable/not steady' in our emotions, feelings, likings or even love, our mindset changes, our perspective changes, etc .

Hence, if we have a boy friend or a girl friend now and then we move on to some where else, we meet different people, in a different environment, experience different exposure and as we mature, our likings may change. What or whom we like/love now may not be exactly what we really like that badly in future.

i still believe that to fall head over heels in love, to feel the intensity of it ..... to know the power of love at the very second that you feel it, is better than to suppress it and say "this is not real...not important...it will pass... "
because if you want to wait for six, seven years more....who guarantees that you will be alive then, to live and to love? who guarantees that you will find a person to love?

yet, i agree that love does not last forever..... teenage relationships may not last...but that does not make it any less important.....

Loving someone and being her gf are 2 different things.... Sometimes we can't have who we love... the most sad thing is loving someone whom u can't have. But as long as the other person is happy, i think by love, u will be happy too. I will still give love a chance, though it hurts so much... Like what Iceberg has said, to experience it is a euphoria... To some ppl, it means a reason to live... hehe...

. but the phrase "as long as u are happy, i am happy too" is not as easy as it seems to be... of course, we still hurt, but there is a sense of happiness mixed in it too.... melancholic happiness....

Hmmm... a blend of emotion of happy and sad? Happy to see her happy, but sad to see her not happy in ur arms?

There is a hero inside each and everyone of us, and sometimes, we need to give up what we wanted most to do the right thing.

This is very meaningful... Recommers, keep it in ur heart

Mmm...my primary school...was SJK(C) Pei Hwa, my Mum's school (my Mum is a teacher), so every teacher knew me as "Teacher Han's daughter", many students were afraid of offending me. Many of them also thought that I was snobbish, I had my Mum to back me up. I daren't to do anything mischievous at all in school, no breaking the rules and regulations, submitted my homework on time, because whatever mis-doings would be reported to my Mum at once! Hence, I was the role model for students. I had to uphold my image well. Haha, sometimes I wonder if that was the real me as well if I wasn't a teacher's daughter?! I turned up to be the top in class without failure since Primary 1...however....
It changed a bit when it comes to Secondary school...
Due to the intense competition, I still appeared as the top, but slightly dropped a bit in ranking. By the way, I was in a girls' school. The setback was the lacking of interaction with male. This is what I have to try to accommodate myself when I entered the university. Anyway, I joined the foreign students' exchange program when I was in Form 5, which was really an unforgettable experience to me. I went to Hyogo, Japan, with my fellow friends, teachers, and headmistress. That was the chance where I had closer interaction with the teachers, whom I thought were so fierce and "unreasonable", haha. Besides, I also mingled more with some friends, that I hardly talked to. We all cherished so much the time we spent in Japan.
My teenage years...quite boring actually, I am known as the 'obedient girl' all this while. I never go out after 8p.m. and I hardly go out with friends for trips or even gatherings. My teenage life was pretty much stayed at home, helped my Mum with housework and studied.
In short, I don't really regretted that I don't have much excitements during my teenage life, perhaps, being ordinary also a blessings. Perhaps to some people, what a pity that I don't enjoy much or experience much, such as go to disco, pub, etc...
Believe it or not, I'm turning 21 this year and last week was my first time to step into RedBox, Karaoke lounge! And, it was my junior who brought me there!!!

well, I am one of the few lucky ones who was spared going for tuition in my schooling years (and still don't)..well, I did go for Accounting tuition (which I took as an extra subject) and BM (which wasn't much use anyway-lousy teacher). But I wasn't the type who......comeback from school, rest 15 mins, then 2 tuitions a day..

I spend most of my time on the computer (nerd here hehehe) and I learn ballet and piano, so I take up quite a lot of my time for that too. Dancing is my passion. Well, the phone is my lifeline..I'm lucky i managed to enjoy a normal teenhood, and wasn't chained like some of my friends

Studying? I must admit I didn't really focus on that, most of my cramming are packed into the last 3 weeks before trials..Constant studying isn't my thing..but i still think I did okay for public examinations..

I miss the ol' school days, where you go into class, and interact with your schoolmates coz they're all there, it's so hard to keep in touch nowadays with everyone going overseas, interstates..*sighs*

To tell the truth, i hate school. I hate almost everything about school, the homework, the subjects, the dirty toilets, gangsters,you name it. I guess i'm the odd one here because you guys seem to like your secondary school life albeit a few complaints.
Form 1 is year where everything is quite ok. Being naive and all, i see things childishly and a simple sorry usually patch things up. Being the top student during form 1 also propelled me to ''stardom''. I began to feel that people around were envious of me. I on the otherhand, never once expect this to happen as i was only an average student during primary school. Nevertheless, form 1 was fun and fulfilling.
By form 2 i began to feel betrayal and all sorts of bad feelings.It was during the time where we need to do our history assignment do i feel this(betrayal) People are not willing to disclose their info. The fact that i have nothing to trade may had been a factor but i was always helpful to them, why do they have to treat me this way?? Also, a 'friend' of mine influenced and persuaded other friends to ignore me because according to her, i often ignore people. What is the logic behind all this?? Then again, i had to sit with a monster who does nothing but copy my homework. I begged the teacher to release me from his clutches but to no avail, the teacher suggested that i be a sanmaritan and give that monster a chance. Well, after 6 months, i got what i wanted.
As for form 3, i could not recall anything bad because it was a very busy year, PMR and all.
Form 4 is the worst among all!!!!!!!! A not so good biology teacher made me detest biology so much so that i still can't shrugh that out of my mind. And also, the dating disease had begun that year. This little trend started after the PMR and by form 4 everybody seems to follow. Foolishly, a few of my friends succumb to the endless pursuits of their male counterpart and end up being lovebirds. Thats not the problem, trouble arise when they are not able to comtemplate each other and the resolution is 'Break Up'. Being the all kepoh and all, i told them its not really a good time to date( pardon me for being old fashion). They said its foolish to date and its them who in the end found themselves ''consorts''. After breaking up, none are friends with each other. Is this worth it? Then of course, AJK of certain clubs began to badmouth their fellow mates because of incompetence. Even worst, the selection of chairman of clubs turn out the be nasty. A who is supposed to be the chairman of X club only get to be the deputy because of some 'political' problems of the club. While A silently developed hatred towards the succesor of X club. B laments that she did not get the position she deserved although serving for the club for a long time, sacrificing time and such. At the end, it was the assignments that got all of us tangled up again. Miscommunication, stress caused us to think irrationally and an inevitable fight happened. What a way to end the year!!
As for form 5, the problems arise when a certain selfish group are accusing others being selfish and not wanting to share their tuition notes, quoting from their teacher: 'These notes are only for those who went for the tuition and not outsiders.' The thing is, those so called ''selfish'' people are trying to protect themselves while the accusers are selfish ones!!! Also, there;s was a ''battle'' between the chairman of clubs. This disagreeing that.........Overall, its hell for me. If not for the good kind benovelent teachers of my school and my family, i may be lying in a coffin while my soul floating to the abyss. HELL.

well, you must be glad that secondary school is over now :)

hmm... these are the things that we all will need to face sooner or later in life... office politics might even be worse than this...

but cheer up, life is too short for anyone to frown... smile, the whole wide world is waiting for you out there :)

somewhere along the way, i know each and everyone of us can find a place where we truly can call home... :)

My school. . .

Form one, 2001 ~ ambitious, keen in learning, naive, stupid, not many friends during the first month coz i was new to that district. . . one of the top students academically (My total score was 599 for both semesters. Amazing eh.), inspired by my school's pelajar cemerlangs (we have around two in different fields), wanted to be a teacher :P

Form two, 2002 ~ ambitious, was a lousy prefect with a high post, naive, childish, fell in love with someone from other school, distracted in study but was still one of the top, nothing much, met an excellent science teacher, became the top scorer for science in school, inspired by that year's pelajar cemerlangs, wanted to be a scientist.

Form three, 2003 ~ ambitious, was still in love with the same girl, did horrible job for all course works, did well in pmr, was introduced to buddhism by my PK hem, was introduced to the course actuarial science by my tuition teacher, was inspired by SPM straight A scorers (that time the most in my district was 10As), looked foward to sit for spm (so silly.. hehe), wanted to be one of the pelajar cemerlangs, still wanted to be a scientist.

Form Four, 2004 ~ ambitious, hated the girl coz she was in love with my sworn enemy, cried a lot, fell in love with maths instead, became second top scorer in add maths for one semesters, scored a B for the second, (ate an extra tripple large sized humble pie), participated in debate and scrabble, did extremely well for both and won lots of medals for the school, was the star of the school all of a sudden, resolved to be a pelajer cemerlang, didn't wan to be a scientist anymore because realised scientists "boh lui" in malaysia, did research in actuarial science.

Form Five, 2005 ~ ambitious, did well in debate again, did well in quizzes, rep the school in lots of things, BUT wasn't awarded pelajar cemerlang because my dear new principle wanted to show power and changed the system, she insisted she wants only one pelajar cemerlang in every field, and she feels that i wasn't in any of the fields, not even in bakat khas, (can imagine how painful i was, i wanted to be one since form one and i worked VERY HARD for it) was extremely angry and pissed; but in the end became the top scorer for spm in school, (i felt blessed. anthony robbins said, "everything happens for a reason and that it serves you", didn't know how it served me but think somehow it's connected), resolved to be an actuary.


(after doing the dreadful deed to me my principle left the building as if it was nobody's business, anyway we rejoiced because our juniors will no longer be under her kekukubesian now ...)

Currently, 2006 ~ Smilling back at my silly old days, missed my school, still dislike my principle (guess i'll let it go someday), waiting for JPA result. Thank God for everything He gave me, thank my parents, thank everyone... *sniff sniff* Let bygones be bygones, look foward to a challenging life.

My life in secondary school? I started my first day as a wild, crazy, happy- go- lucky " siao zha bo ( in hokkien)" , I laughed whenever I felt like it, I don't have any reason to weep, my friends being friendly and funny and my exam results were above satisfactory....but not everyone has a happily-ever-after, because my life went downhill from there onwards.I was like a hyped energy ball- really strong at first and dissapears in the end.Four years later, I became a quiet,shy, introvert, pessimistic person due to the increasing alienation by friends since form 2 and being ditched by my closest friend in the final year of my life in secondary school.
I was deleveloping a serious case of inferiority complex in my SPM-year which was cause by constant ignorance by a group of my classmate, excluding me from any infomation they were discussing. I didn't really laugh my heart out since form 3. By form 5, I didn't really have a chance and reason to smile anymore.That year was the hardest for me- besides having to suffer from exam stress, I had to deal with having no close friend that I could pour my heart out. I had no choice but to bottle up everything inside, I didn't want to put the burden onto my parents' shoulders since they were busy working; I didn't want my not-so-close friends to carry my emotional burden since I thought we weren't that close yet.
I couldn't hold up to myself anymore after few months, but I still couldn't find a place to vent my anger and frustration, until I stated to read, mostly fiction to distract myself to the harsh reality.My anger soon turn to sadness and bitterness, and I'd spent most of my time thinking about life: what if I had made a different choice? What if I was smarter to see the real truth happened around me? Would I still had a reason to live life if not for the love my parents have for me?Just like that I finished my SPM year, which I am relieved my results weren't affected by the trauma.
I am glad to say things change for better after my SPM, I guessed it's mainly due to the change in environment- I was no longer surrounded by my source of sorrow. I didn't feel pain in my chest anymore and I felt calmer day by day. I spent most of my time thinking about life, again, but not so much negative thoughts anymore. I could never felt joy like when I was in form one, but I feel happier now. I stated to accept things as it is and make a move to change the way I thought about things.
"what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger".If I was given a chance to choose, I would still brace myself to go through this, I actually learned tons of things which ( I know it's cliche) made me who I am now.Just like the poem - "the road not taken". I know I am not the only one who had been through this, lots of people have, if they can overcome this, why can't I too? :)

2001-naive,always pass up my homework on time.A fella(for no reason,or maybe unknown to me),bad-mouthed me.

2002-starts to disrespect teachers.Ignored that fella.Out of my life,F***er!

2003-hates mandarin language for causing the B in my PMR cert.

2004-Sent to a bad class due to the B.Realised the gang i hanged out with only hangs out with me for my academic result.Apparently,i failed to be in the gang for having a B.Lucky to meet real friends,maybe time'll tell if they're real!

2005-Scored satisfactory result in SPM.

2006-failed to secure any scholarship.now in form 6.sob...sob.....A lot of new "friends".Just realised yesterday they're not friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!arghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank god still have my old friends(I'm not sure if there should be and s after the word 'friend')(I consider 1 year old friendship as old).

Do you think I'm pathetic?Or is it because this world is really cruel?I really have no faith at all in friendship now.(except for the very few whom i trust)

2000 - super naive and blur, class monitor that gets criticized because lacked responsibility but still survived until end of the yr because my assistant did all the job for me. didn't make any efforts to study so results quite bad especially pendidikan seni in which i never scored above 70.

2001 - disaster struck, became head prefect for afternoon session altho i've never been a prefect before. until now, i still think the penyelia petang hates me and the discipline master regretted asking us to elect a leader among us. she should have selected someone else. anyway, this was a tough year considering many students in my school have discipline problems, but i survived it anyhow, in the process, became more disciplined? lol. and durian keep on runtuh-ing on this yr when i tiba tiba topped the school for no reason.

2002 - stressing year with pmr and prefectorial stuff, represented the school in many quizzes and won some. got best student for pmr :P

2003 - struggling in science subjects and major slacking problem. gradually became more active in koko and lepaking around tuition centres. decided its better this way. social life improved and began mixing with all sorts of friends.

2004 - spm year. became reclusive and hot tempered especially when stress is mounting en route to exam month. lost the top position but altho good results in spm didn't get the best student award bcos of the stupid school policy that favors As than A1s

2005 - medical foundation in kutpm sponsored by jpa, bound for indonesia. Completed it and now waiting patiently for the placements!!

:) 2001:I was so innocent and timid girl..So do some of my frens.A pleasant experience in starting my first year of teenage life at a whole new and huge school.Well,there were no storeys or stairs in my primary school .So,when i see this school at first sight,i feel 'wow'...it stand pride like a palace...
However,i was not full of activity and the year 2001 meant nothing to me.Just some crazy crushes .Other than that,there was nothing much to recall... 8O

2002: Moving on...The year of disaster strikes.I was placed in the third class.A class where one can find students who pay no serious attention in studies,space for them to roam without discipline.I really regret for not studying that hard for my final year exam.Somehow,my sister had managed to dig out this truth of me in the 'bad reputation' class.She gave a long nag which severely disrupted my mind.Then,family problems were at its peak...parents quarrel more often.
I felt even more depressed when i was separated from my frens as they were all placed in the first class.Whenever i met them during recess,i fell 'down'.....These whole thing mixes up and became a big irritating wound in my heart.And a way i 'healed' it was by weeping silently every night in my room.Nobody knew this.
I'd become suicidal at one point when i was alone at home.
In spite all the emotional problems i had,having the ruthless determination to succeed,i kept on.

2003:Year of glory and merry.I was placed in the first class.I was so happy.I got my frens ta talk to as before.Eventhough it was a year where students should act seriously as PMR approaches,i and my frens had the most enjoyable time together.Playing pranks on teachers,sharing jokes and having laughs together,studying together..and much much more...However not everything seems to be good...I also had a fren who had betrayed my trust for her.Our frenship deteriorated,yet we made as if we were still frens.A year i learnt that i should not believe a frenship to be true.A year i excelled academically.A year i gained back confidence and trust from my mom and sis.Absolutely nothing beats the zesty year of 2003 in my life.... :wink:

2004: A year where fren began to dissappear from my life.I moved to another school to seek better education and new hope.Although in 2003 and my frens planned to move together to another school,we ended up cancelling that plan for some reasons.
I was just an average student .I became a prefect...participated in debate.It was something i couldn't even digest till now.It took guts for me to face up the teacher and tell him that i would like to enter debate competition.But,hey,i managed to be 'naib johan' for the district level.After that i gave the chance to other people to continue.Then,it was my first year where i participated 'kawad kaki' competiton for the scouts team.I can't forget this event.The teacher forced us to enter!My gosh,we practiced under the scorching heat.Fiuh!!i was sun-burnt and my face had turned slightly dark....Nivea Whitening Foam was my rescue ..hehe...
There were teachers whom i and my frens hated so much.

2005: Another year of stresses and seriousness.Had some sweet moments to...It was also a busy year for me...Then,we the same scouts teacher forced us to enter the kawad kaki competition.At first we refused strictly giving a reason that we are form 5 and can be given leniency.But,she blackmaled us that she will give 'D' grade for our moral subject in the coming semester exam.Imagine how disgusted we were!!We gave in....Unfortunately the day i'd planned to 'ponteng sekolah' was the day of the competition.However,i was bitten by a mad dog while i was on my way to school.
Academic was ok... :roll: .and i had to say eventhough i smiled and joked with my frens during 2004 and 2005 ,i never felt any special about my year in that school.Still remember the fren i mentioned 'in 2003 who had betrayed me.?.Yeah,she was with me for this two years.
In the end i had gone through my SPM with peace and obtained good result.

Well,now i'm in my lower six at another school.So far so good.My bez fren had left for a teaching course in another state.So,i felt a bit lonely.Luckily,i have other frens by my side and more luckily my demon fren isn't around with me. :) ..Next year will be the last year for me to be in school..and i'm savouring every single moments in my life now.The teachers are frens too.I really really really hope that my university life would be much brighter than 2003....So far nothing beats my golden year of '2003'....I missed it so much...

So,there were many ups and downs during this five year.And every incidents either bad or good ,have taught me something valuable.I'd learnt to be optimistic.This year i feel more refreshed,and i'm morecarefree.And i'm fixing all the weaknesses i had before and trying to perform better in my sixth form.I'm sure there are many stuffs awaiting me in future during my sixth form.And i shall wait patiently..... 8)

2002 : still naughty, din pass up any homeworks as well... haha... man my mom was sure angry when my form teacher told her about that.. :pi was so active in kk this year that i july my mom had to give me an ultimatum to stop my activities.. :p haha.... then during my spm my mom was worried that i didn't studied enough because i didn't seem to panic...heh heh.... :p

Lol... For me:

2004: A nerd, still blur about secondary's life. Got number 1 in class. (I guess others still numb to the new environment)
2005: Didn't care much about academic, hahaha... The position in class dropped. Playful, mischievous... :P
2006: PMR, First World War year. Started struggling hard! When the war came, yet not as nervous as SPM's year. Probably I thought PMR was just a piece of cake! :))
2007: A relaxing year, not much stress, coz I thought SPM was still far far away from me. Everything just said: "cincai-lah" Didn't learn the subjects seriously, especially Biology, Physics and Chemistry.
2008: SPM, Second World War year. Began to know what do "anxiety", "target" and "worries" meant. A tough year, coz I have to sacrificed my half year, first semester to participate a state-level cocuriculum. My exams... Arrgghhh!!! I had to burn midnight oil every night. Studied at eleventh hour. Finally went through the SPM with not much confidence. :notrust

2004: not that active in koku but a bookworm. got bronze in NILAM for that year.
2005: more active in koku. Didn't care about studies though. Left out of the Top ten.
2006: PMR is coming nearer, started to study harder. Entered the top Ten and shocked many of my rival. wasn't that active in Scouts due to dissatisfaction of the admistration. joined a society infested with Chinese speaking librarians.
2007: my worst and memorable years. joined Malacca Jamboree and got some unforgettable experience. busy with koku. was middle in a cold war with some of the librarian committee as they want me take down as I was the most suitable candidate to take the Head Librarian post but was not their kind. In the end, got the post and become the first Indian HL since 30 years. Got some other posts in other society. Studies still good.
2008: studies began to drop due to my overactiveness in koku. Did bad in my mid term and lost to my closest rivals. Determine to study harder, went overdrive, score straight A's in trial and first time got 3rd place in the class. wow. then sat for SPM, pray hard for it and then it is all over.

Most probably not. Or maybe something else new. I can always say that, times in secondary school are the best moments we can ever have. I will share with you guys more about my story later.

Kinda sleepy...haha

2007-form 5 was a relaxed year for me...studied a bit,but was not so concerned about anything.the going out thing heightened as i got my car license.haha...and eventually i finally got laid.(excuse me for my language).other than that,during form 5,i met with friends that i consider as brothers.and yeah,we skipped school all the time.hehe...especially in september and october.hehe.other than that,nothing much about form 5.quite boring.

(Perfect for me to spend my time on while waiting for JPA)
2004 : Stepped into secondary school with lots of good students.I was a chinese from kebangsaan school and my mandarin was terrible.Started to mix with the chinese from SJKC.They used to tease me for my terrible chinese and I was very quiet because I was shy with the new environment.Studied at last minute but still managed to survive.Was in a very competitive class and started to learn to manage the stress and failure.Selected as a prefect.
2005 : Not so quiet anymore.Hehe..Started to involve more actively in koko.Learned angkluang(a musical instrument) and did numerous performances with my group.Getting closer with my classmates and had a lot of fun.Chinese improved a lot.Lolx:))Results improving.Getting award for Prize-Giving for every year since I was in form2.Eventhough,it was not that important but it meant a lot to me.A small achievement.
2006 : Studied regularly due to the competitive environment I had.Got straight As in all the exams.Glad that my hard work paid off.Excelled in PMR examination.
2007 : Stepped into form four and teacher changed the classes randomly(all were selected students,so they didnt arrange based on grades) as many went to boarding school.Got in a less competitive class and started to slow down.Extremely busy year.Non stop attending different camps and competitions.Missed my revision and results started to drop.Yet,managed to get number one in class with not so good grades.A miss of one or two subjects.Get into choir and volleyball team and had so many practices.Always got to rush to tuitions after school.Tiring year.Still managed to be close with my form 3 friends.
2008 : Dropped choir and volleyball.Concentrate on my club alone.Studied really hard.Results improving and got straight A1 in SPM.Discoved recom during the long holidays.
