    Ahh…today is not a good day for me in school. I’ve been ‘attacked’ by my teachers and friends a few times. Well, definitely not physically, but verbally, mentally and emotionly. Let’s see how it happens. This morning in school, i had my history lessons. My friend did not bring his text book, so we had to share our text book. Then, when teacher was teaching, me and my friend talked a little and we did not gave our fullest attention to what teacher was teaching. Then suddenly, teacher saw us talking to each other, and then started to ’sound’ us. We stopped, and then she asked me to repeat what she has said. I couldn’t answer it, so i just shook my head. Then the teacher started to ‘compliment’ me, you know, all the sarcastic remarks. Some of her remarks include saying that I’m already so smart, therefore i don’t have to listen to her teachings, after all I could have read it all by myself. XD

    Then after my history class, is my BM class. My BM teacher called me childish! Wooh… and this is how it happened. In my class, we sit in three tables a row. Im seated at the left end, while two of my other friends seated at the middle and right end. Then the teacher called the middle guy to stand up and read the text. So, he stand up and started reading. That’s then it all started. My other friend, on the right end, called me to ask some questions. Since my friend who is reading is kinda big sized, i leaned forward a little bit so i can see my other friend. However, he leaned to the back instead. Then i leaned to the back to get eye-contact with him. But, he had also changed his direction, to achieve the same goal as me. This went on for a few times. Then the teacher saw us, and told us to stop it. Then she say, not in a angry manner, that I’m Childish. She said that at times, when im serious, i am really serious. But when im playful, i can be very childish. She continued, saying that most teenagers have this ‘crisis of identity’ problem. They’re stuck in the middle, between childhood and adulthood. To me, its like matter at their melting point or boiling point. Two states of matter will exist at the same time, and the temperature would not change until all the matter has changed into a single state, be it solid, liquid or gas. XD Therefore, sometimes, the child-ness will overcome the adult-ness resulting in childish actions. She added that, teenagers at my age however, should be matured enough to be able to control it. Its normal and OK for teenagers in Form 1,2 or even Form 3 to be a little childish at times, but teenagers in Form 5 are expected to be matured enough. >.< Although she did not directly say my name, and she was saying it as general, but i still feel as if my teacher is ‘indirectly’ pointing to me. Haha… =)

    After that incident however, i started to question myself… Am i really that childish ? Then, i really felt bad at my actions. I felt so low and ashamed of myself. It really affected my mood indirectly. Haha. But now im feeling better already. However, i should try to control myself, as to not be so childish at times anymore. =)

    Well, today my school had this ‘Parents-Teachers Meeting’ to get feedback from form teachers about our performance in school, to get the report card, advise, and etc. Only the students in Form 3, Form 5 and Upper 6 are involved. Parents are supposed to arrive to school at about 8 am and then goto the school’s hall for a speech by the Principal. Then after the ceremony at the hall was done, parents would then goto the classrooms and meet the form teachers.

    My mom came today to see the teacher. I was a bit tensed as i scared that my form teacher will give bad comments to my mum about me as i was always ’sleepy’ in class. =) Well, lucky for me, she didn’t say anything about me being sleepy in class or even fell asleep in class. =) She told my mum that im OK, except that im always a little ‘buzy’ with some other things, such as cocurricular activities and my prefect job. Hehhe. =) Then my teacher say that i have to concentrate more on my weaker subjects, i.e : History, Biology. She says its Ok for me to be active in other activities, but make sure i try not to miss my classes, especially those 2 weak subjects. I have to make sure i give my fullest attention during classes, again, especially those 2 weak subjects. Hehe. After that my mum took the report card and went home. =)

    Well, the whole day in school, i think we just did nothing. Most of us are just chatting while waiting for our parents. One of my friends, Anushya, brought the ‘Reader’s Digest’s Brainteasers …’ (forgotten the book’s full name, sorrie) book. So we borrowed it from her and spend most of the time reading through the book and trying to solve some. It was really fun. Hehe =)

Yayy! Friendster changed its layout once again ! And this time, its nicer then before ! Remember a few days ago I had just posted a post about the new friendster layout, thats doesnt look nice to me ? Looks like they had improved it… (Perhaps someone from the Friendster admins read that post and decided to change it? =D) Although the colouring and all looks kinda the same…but the arrangement now is definitinely better =) Now the profiles are no longer splitted, the friends located at the top right, blog updates below the profiles, and best of all, the testimonials ! Now you can view the testimonial in full again! just like last time ! hehhe =D

    Hmm…Looks like its really not a very good week yeh? The London’s incident really gave me a shock. London’s subway has been bombed by 3 bombs while another blasted in a double-decker bus. The blasts on three Tubes and a bus left 700 hurt, with 100 held overnight in hospital and 22 serious or critical. So far, the death toll has been ‘at least 50′ but its said ‘unlikely to top 100′, in other words, 50 < x < 100. =) Well, lets hope that everything will get settled soon and all these innocent lives will be saved. =)

    Well, does today seem to be a day of violence ? First incident is of course the London incident. Secondly, even in my school, there was a fight. In fact, those involve were actually quite close friends of mine. Two person, Na and Su (name changed to protect their identity =) ), had not been in good terms with each other since last year (if im not wrong). So today they decided to ’settle’ it their way. Right after school, they met at a field, and started to fight. During the time of incident, i was in school as i have some things to do. They had really fought hard and luckily some of their friends manage to pull them apart and stop it then. =)

    Think thats the end of it? Well, NO ! After that, there’s 2 more small fights that happened right in front of the school. This time, Na and Su is not involved anymore =). This time, its a small fight that began with a very stupid reason. Two person were leaning at the railings by the drain when his friend joked with him and push him a little as if to push him into the drain. The other guy who almost felt into the drain got really angry and started to fight with his friend. The fight would have gotten worst if not for a Lower Six-er that came and stopped them. After that, another fight broke out with two Form 4 boys. I wasn’t there at that time as I had went home. All i heard is that one person got punched in the nose and bled. =( 
*UPDATES* - I’ve just got this clarified by one of my friends. It seems that the boy wasn’t punched in the nose. Instead, it was only a scratch. Sorry for the incorrect info =) Hey, what you expect? I wasn’t there, all i knew is what i heard from others. =) *UPDATES*

    Hmmm, looks like today really is a day of violence eh ? Hmm…its getting late, its 12.30+ on the clock now…better get to sleep soon before my mom finds out that im still using the computer…and another case of "Violence" might broke out =)

    Well…looks like these few days were my ‘bad luck‘ days and perhaps the next few days too…or so it seems…Hope this series of ‘unfortunate‘ events will stop and better luck will come to me…or so i hope… =)

    Lets see…whatever that had happened over the past few days… On Monday, i’ve almost been involved in a car accident…thrice! Thats a hat-trick man ! Well…the story goes like this… I had offered to send my sister and her friend to their tuition class… And as usual, my mom will be together…to ‘supervise‘ me… Well, the journey was all well, all the way till my sis’s tuition centre…But the problems started on the journey back home, when suddenly, as i was going to move into the road from the ‘parking‘ area, a motorbike that has sped all the way almost knocked the back of the car. Luckily i manage to stop the car on time and the motorcyclist had ‘swerved‘ to the right to avoid me… Then after that i noticed him raising his left arm in the air, turned his face around a little, while shouting something like, "WOY ! Tak tau Pandu ARR?!" For a moment, i was scared and i think back…if it was my fault ? But my mom told me that the fault is his…as i had already put my signal lights and i really had looked at the side mirror before moving into the lane… But still, she stressed, I should have noticed him coming and be more careful.  Hmm…perhaps my ‘beginner eyes‘ have yet to be trained enough to sense the presence of incoming vehicles…

    2nd ‘near-accident‘ incident, as I was turning left from a junction, a car nearly knocked me from the side. I’m driving as usual in the left lane, when suddenly this car from the right lane, just suddenly switched into the left lane. His car was almost going to hit the front right part of my car. I swerved to the left a little bit and pressed the brakes in order to avoid the collision. I was a little shocked, i must admit, that the car just move in into the left lane without any signal…not even caring if it had move clearly past my car. And the 3rd ‘near-accident‘ incident was really my stupidity. I had misjudged the incoming vehicle. I was at another junction and i have to turn to the left. I looked towards the right and i saw a school bus, which is moving quite slowly, about some distance away. I thought that i could make it, so i took my chance and turned to the left. However, it was a mistake as the bus had move near my car when i turned out. I had almost ‘banged’ into the bus if the bus did not brake in time. For my ‘stupidity‘ i was honked loudly by the school bus and scolded by my mum =P

    Well, that’s what that happened on Monday…How about Tuesday (yesterday) then? Yesterday was an ‘interesting‘ day. First up, in school, I’ve got all my PEKA stuffs to think about. Well, thats not really bad luck…just that its something to worry about =) Next, when i went home, i heard from my mum that both of the blenders had spoil and couldn’t be used. The blender that my mum usually use couldn’t work and when she took out another blender that she rarely use, that blender too had spoiled. Such coincidence!=) And then, at about 4.45 pm, as i was on my way to tuition, i saw my brother with his car stopped in the middle of the road, with smoke coming out from the bonnet o.0′  We stopped and pushed the car to the side of the road and inspected it. It seems that the engine had overheated because the ‘coolant tank‘, i think (i don’t really know much about cars), was badly damage. My brother recalled him hitting something like a small plank on the way back home. He thought that its just a small thing and just continued driving. Well, back to the car, it seems that the engine was badly damaged and there’s no way the car could move anymore. Therefore we had no choice but to send it to a workshop. The car might need an engine replacement, beside other repairs. =(

    Well, thats not all. Theres other minor minor things that happened to me that could be considered as ‘unfortunate‘ too. Some examples include me being hit by a ‘GOTCHA !‘ from an unsuspected friend, Peh Tee Howe. He came rushing to me and told me some ‘important news’. He says that our class monitor told him that theres some problem with my SPM registration thingy. I thought that it was real and I’m shocked and began to panic a little. I was like, "WHAT? What happened ?" Thats when he just gave me an ‘evil smile‘ and points his finger to me and say, "GOTCHA !" "…" was my reply, speechless for a moment. Then i realised that it had all been a prank. Well, this is the first time he had done it to anyone, and he did it ‘gracefully‘. After that he appologized and we had a good laugh. =)

    Hmm, guess thats all. Hopefully today will be the end to my ‘series of unfortunate events’ =) Its getting late now, 12 am on the clock. Time to get some sleep and get ready for a better day tomorrow… hopefully =)

Hmm…been a while since i posted anything on my blog eh ? In fact its been quite some time since i even logged in into Friendster. Well…i’ve noticed that Friendster has changed its layout…again… This time… the layout may look nicer…more ‘cleaner’ perhaps…but to me its not that nice… I prefer the old layout better… This new layout seems a bit ‘messy‘ to me…not that its really messy…just that…the new arrangements of the profiles… seems a little weird… Now you can’t see the whole testimonial like last time anymore… It had just shrunk into the small small area on the right side… and the profile is split into two parts… Hmm…perhaps im still not used to the new layout… perhaps over time, i’ll grow to like it…who knows?
