And so, we have ...

... one of the first doctors from 5S1 '2005! :-) I'm not sure if someone else have graduated from Medicine yet (please forgive me if I forgot anyone), but anyways, CONGRATULATIONS, DR. TIM!!! You'll make a fine doctor. :-)

A doctor has a special call He or she must minister to all The hypocratic oath he makes To do no harm to those he takes His studies does not end there New methods come up everywhere Much time is put in every day To meet the demands that come his way To be a friend to all is no small task In all he does, he must come last It is complete dedication to his duty Responsibility to his patients asked Late hours, long days are his plight Compasion and love are his life To God he answers for decisions Based on knowledge and considerations Author :  Marguerite the Little Flower

Xing Ji!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

(I nearly forgot! But then I remembered!)

Have a good one. ;-)

I'm a little tipsy. As I sit at my com waiting for my friend and temporary roommate to return, I ponder upon what I should write. As you can tell, I'm not really fucking drunk, because I can still type in sentences which largely retain proper grammar, syntax and spelling, but I am slightly off because I do not bother to censor myself in terms of profanity.

Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all. Like, I could tell you about my night, which has been interesting enough, what with meeting a former Jehovah Witness who has since turned atheist and hearing his hilarious retelling of the bible; but some things are better said in person.

I could tell you about how I'm turning 23 in 2 weeks' time, how I can't believe I've managed to survive so long on this earth, except I don't remember a quarter of what I did during the first half of my existence, so I guess I didn't really live 23 years after all, but merely avoided death.

Uhm...I remember a time when I was younger, when I would just write posts about feelings which I felt without the need to ensure that what I wrote made sense, or appeared to make sense, merely that they spoke. And maybe I still write that way, but sometimes some days I miss the time when I wrote for an audience, a specific audience, an audience which I could mock: I miss writing high school essays.

Many people think that I'm an emo drunk. I'm not really; I write deeper when I'm under the influence no doubt, but I talk happier, it's true.

A part of me looks through the unpublished posts on this blog, and I wonder, will they ever be finished?

Did you know?

That Feb 22 is Founders' Day? It is the Birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the international Scout's movement. But here's the kicker: it's also the birthday of his wife, Olave St Claire Soames, who later became the Chief Guide of Britain.

What most people don't realize however, is that 24 years ago on this very day, a little girl was born in the small South East Asian Nation of Malaysia, who would 24 years later, come to change the very world in which we live in, simply by her very existence. True Story.

So for all the Scouts and Guides celebrating Founders' Day today, you are also celebrating the birthday of one frighteningly unique individual. Yes, she is special. There's only one of her after all.

P.S. Happy Birthday Yingxu!

Just dropping by to say ...

... I miss you guys! :)

Dreamt about class (yes, again). Which is concrete proof that I really miss you guys. *sniff*

Take care, everyone!

Happy Birthday, XingJi!

Hey XingJi, just dropping by to wish you a very happy birthday! :)

Birthday Antique
by Martin Dejnicki

You are antique,
We need to tweak,
Start with physique,
Let’s make you a geek,
Or just join a clique,
And become sleek,
What do you seek?
A birthday creek,
With sublime mystique,
Surely unique,
I shouldn’t speak,
Quite often critique,
Courageous or meek,
Today is your peak,
Enjoy the week,
And stick out your cheek!

Withlotsalove!

I sleep late so I don't care if dinosaurs were killed by a meteor but maybe we should treat our pigeons better because the hills are alive!

You know the blog is pretty screwed up when the live feed doesn't show a single person from Malaysia viewing it but rather weird ass connections from places half of us haven't even heard from. Russia, Brazil, Chile, Iraq....SERIOUSLY?

Uhm anyway, most of us are either turning 22 or 23 this year (which is bloody old IMO) and we're all supposed to be doing respectable adult stuff soon i.e. work, what were you all thinking?

Hmmm, I don't even know why I started this post actually, OK, maybe I would like to do a little self rant about things I discovered about myself in the past year or so:

1) I like trance

2) Tipsy is fun

3) Losing your passport is not so fun

4) Law school is a sham, except on days when it is not.

5) Despite my fear of heights, I enjoy scaring the shit out of myself by taking roller coasters

6) Cold weather makes you neglect personal hygiene

7) is a nice number

8) is even better

9) Maybe this wasn't such a good idea

10) Whence are we going? wait...that doesn't make sense

11) = 10.999...

12) I want to be an archaeologist

13) who lives in Spain

14) who writes in Italian

15) dreams in Chinese

16) sings in Malay

17) but still watches English comedy

18) too late it's gone it won't come back

19) 89

20) Veinti

21) So many things to do, so little time

22) Ventidue, un numero bellissimo. In more ways than one.

O_O

Was just clearing the spam comments ... and realized ... there was so much spam! Gosh. Even some spammers congratulating us for "being such a great forum site"?! :P

Hope everyone is well. I'm up to my nose with schoolwork. *plod plod plod*

Tee Yi Ning! Ng Yen Tink! Graduates! If you're reading. Since you're (presumably) free, write something la. :)

Christmas - New Year

Hey people!

I'll be home for Christmas / New Year. Let's meet up!

<3

Hi guys, wow how long has it been ? Anyone still visits here ?

The year 2010 and it is almost 5 years since we were last in 5S1. Everyone has grown up, everyone has the lives ahead of them.

But one beautiful thing remains, and that is the memory of us being friends and that no matter how far apart we are, how long we've not seen each other, how weird it would be to talk to one another, or just how vague our memories of each other may be, we still shared the memories.

I saw a quote on one of those fridge magnets at my cousin's place. It said,

"We do not remember the days. We remember the memories."

I thought it was just so appropriate.

Anyway, just wana do some catching up, who's in Malaysia right now ? I know many of us are graduating this year.

Hope to catch up soon ppl !

Loves.

graduation

This is, shamelessly, another post from me. :P

I just attended my church friend's graduation (from the Christian International School of Prague, a high school here). It was a really sweet informal ceremony to celebrate the lives of seven loved kids. We got to see baby photos! And each of them gave a little speech to thank their parents, God, teachers and friends.

It kinda reminded me of our graduation. I remember how Rachel K started tearing beside me in the hall. I remember how Xing Ji cried non-stop, even after we got back to class. :D I remember Tim holding back tears, too! And I remember all the hugs, all the laughter and all the good times. And I remember how I wished school never had to end.

Well, we all need to grow up someday - if not by choice, by the forces of nature. But I'll always be glad to have been able to be a part of 5S1. Thank God for all of you.

revisiting the past

Sometimes the past is never forgotten, merely hidden. And all it takes is a dream or two, or a nostalgic moment, or the familiar din of silence to bring back in remembrance all that has been thought to be forgotten.

If there's one thing I miss about CHS, it's knowing that every day I belong. CHS and 5S1 was like family to me. Every time after a holiday, as I trudged down the 'lorong' into the canteen, greeted by sleepy-looking students, to get into the Ed-Board room, I feel a grin spreading from ear to ear on my face, knowing that I belong, that I'm part of this whole establishment, and knowing that I'm not alone.

Knowing that we all have one goal, to get through high school, and that we were going to get through high school together. Knowing that if we were sad, there would be friends reading our expressions, prepared to lend a listening ear, to let us know that we are not alone in this phase of life.

Knowing that at every corner, there would be laughter, be it laughing off a nickname, a tease, an embarrassing moment. Knowing that at the end of the day, no hard feelings will remain, knowing that we are truly friends, and our basis is innocence. We may not know everyone personally, but everyone knows us and we were accepted the way we are.

We grew up together, from beginning to end, we faced the praises and storms of teachers together, we backed each other up.

I still remember how from 3A1, Yin Shean backed even our notorious friends who tied up poor Zhen Yuan and left him on the corridor of 3A2 face-to-face with our teacher, who stormed into our class and demanded to see the culprits who dared to defy discipline.

I still remember how difficult it was to get the class to do things, and yet at the end, we pulled every drama, every presentation, every exam off so well. :)

I still remember many stories from the days of good ol' CHS. Invisible in my grown-up everyday, but still so real in my heart.

Where are we at now?

Does it matter?

All of you always will, to me. :)

With love, Flo.

Hello hello!

It's been quite a while since anyone / I last posted here. Just wanted to drop a note to wish you guys a Happy (Belated) Chinese New Year, and a Happy Chap Goh Meh! :) Hope everyone is fine!

Just a little note of appreciation...

...for those who turned up for our reunion, and those who helped out in any way. :)

Thanks so much for the laughter and the fun and the food and the friendship... simply unforgettable and amazing in every way.

I love reunions, because they remind me of how special 4/5S1 life is to me, and how it helped build up my character. You guys are the greatest.

Have a blessed holiday season, everyone. :)

P.S. As for photos... Tim was snapping shots, so we'll just wait patiently for his exams to be over before we'll get them. All the best in your exam, Tim! May God bless you. :)

*rings some Christmas bells to get everyone's attention...*

Maybe Li Hong wants us to celebrate before he goes for his exchange program.

Maybe Yen Tink can't wait to come back for her internship.

Maybe Tim can't wait to tell us about his happening Klang posting.

Maybe Xing Ji has a bag of good (lame?) jokes to update us with.

Maybe it's the feel of the just-round-the-corner Christmas season.

Maybe it's just because * you * being a 5S1-er... is worth celebrating. :)

Come join us! :)

P/S : The proposed date & venue is just a proposed date & venue. We'll check it out first. Suggestions are still welcome, though!

4 years ago...

SPM 2009 started yesterday.

I was just sitting and thinking...wow. It's been four whole years.
Memories of 5S1 suddenly rushed back.

A sudden wave of emotions hit me. It's been so long. Yet not long enough maybe.
I miss you all...=(

Ok emo post over. Back to studying. =)

Lecturis Boringus

And this is how my lecture theatre looks like. Sorta... so how does it compare across the unis?

Videos from Nottingham

I was at Nottingham last weekend for the Nottingham Malaysian Games. Met up with Ji Hang who brought me around the city and I bunked at his place for the night. Shot a few random videos of Ji Hang.

At the Nottingham Castle.


Ji Hang drumming on his iPhone 3GS to Taylor Swift's Love Story.


Ji Hang pulling a MJ to Man in the Mirror and a tour of his room.

Conversations With a Guy Awake at 4a.m.

Too Xing Ji says (20:06):
it was a dark and stormy night
황헉성 says (20:06):
sounds familiar
and isnt it 4 am
Too Xing Ji says (20:06):
time is relative, when you're travelling at the speed of light
wait
time is always relative
황헉성 (20:07):
no..
velocity is relative..
hrm
fine time is relative
Too Xing Ji says (20:08):
u busy?
황헉성 (20:08):
well
not really
Too Xing Ji says (20:08):
is time relative?
it is right
Too Xing Ji says (20:09):
i know there's time dialtion
dilation*
황헉성 (20:09):
are you reciting somethingn or
Too Xing Ji says (20:09):
reciting what?
황헉성 (20:09):
beats me
no then
everyone has their own time
actually does time relate?
to anything?
if u have ur own perception of time
Too Xing Ji says (20:10):
things are relative when measured against others
황헉성 (20:10):
my time against your time then
then it is relative
Too Xing Ji says (20:10):
the absolute then being the speed of light
황헉성 (20:10):
to velocity
Too Xing Ji says (20:11):
anyway, humor me: it was a dark and stormy night
next line
your turn
황헉성 (20:11):
and xing ji is standing in the rain by the bus stop
Too Xing Ji says (20:11):
damn he thought: should have brought the umbrella
황헉성 (20:13):
he starts walking
Too Xing Ji says (20:14):
water smashed furiously against his face. This wasn't rain, it was an ocean in a box with holes cut in the bottom
황헉성 (20:16):
he sees an old japanese lady furiously hanging onto her fragile umbrella walking towards him
Too Xing Ji says (20:19):
He walks over
황헉성 (20:20):
she takes out an old talisman and hands it over to him. she said a few things to him and quickly walked away before he even had the chance to say anything.
Too Xing Ji says (20:23):
Emulating his favourite Horror B-movie protagonists, he throws caution to the wind (which was howling louder than a howler monkey on crack), and puts on the talisman.
황헉성 (20:23):
nothing happened
Too Xing Ji says (20:24):
He turns the talisman over: made in China.
황헉성 (20:26):
suddenly he heard a bang
Too Xing Ji says (20:27):
Something old, female and Japanese flew past him in a surreal fashion
황헉성 (20:28):
btw i have seen this for the first time in my life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-WVpQ0ZG8Q&hd=1
good stuff
it looked like the lady who passed him the talisman made in china
Too Xing Ji says (20:30):
She had been mowed down by a Lamborghini driven by a Chinese man. The irony.
황헉성 (20:32):
he runs to the lady and tried to save her, but it was too late. he takes off the talisman and puts it in her cold clammy hands and started heading off
btw talking about einstein
tivity that the speed of light is constant and independent of its color, energy, direction or how
this i mean http://science.slashdot.org/story/09/10/29/1541227/Intergalactic-Race-Shows-That-Einstein-Still-Rules
Too Xing Ji says (20:33):
i saw the vid when i was young
Too Xing Ji says (20:34):
hmmm, but there was a time lag
although could be equipment
or the atmosphere
황헉성 (20:34):
they did say there might be some granular abnormalies
Too Xing Ji says (20:35):
hmmm
how the hell did he come up with the postulate anyway
황헉성 (20:35):
beats me man
a whole bunch of math
Too Xing Ji says (20:36):
as he left, he heard a second bang. The lamborghini had managed to run over the Japanese woman again. Chinese really couldn't drive.
황헉성 (20:38):
the made in china talisman managed to get lodged in under the car which resulted in the car blowing into smithereens 100 yards from the old lady. the irony.
Too Xing Ji says (20:42):
Xing Ji broke into a run. The cops in the city were known to be notoriously efficient. He didn't fancy himself being found next to a bombed out sports car with two dead asians. The whole scene was just WRONG.
황헉성 (20:47):
He got home, panting. He turned on his computer and logged onto facebook. His whole homepage was completely filled with photos and videos of the scene he was just in. Also on the homepage was a long article on some sort of conspiracy theory of how the Japanese lady was a spy and the Chinese man was a counterspy. Technology nowadays.
Too Xing Ji says (20:50):
Better start untaggin myself he thought. He sat down and felt a lump in his back pocket.
the middle of the video was weird
and i think the ending is unfinished
황헉성 (20:50):
yar.. I don't get that bit
i heard its a short film so probably its just a part of it
Too Xing Ji says (20:52):
hmmm ok
anyway
thanks for humoring me
황헉성 (20:52):
this is class blog material
Too Xing Ji says (20:52):
haven't written creatively for a looong time
황헉성 (20:52):
shall you or shall i
Too Xing Ji says (20:53):
you shall
황헉성 (20:53):
i shall

Backdates =P

I was re-reading some old journal entries, and I came across some gems. Enjoy!

==========

School bizzz...

Bio - We learned abuot our skeleton frame today and Pn. See brought out a whole skeleton set for us to see. Cool! Anyway, (wazzit Xing Ji or Si Yi) some guy, for the benefit of an uproar arranged the bones of the hands in such a way that it portrayed a thinker's pose...

Hahahahaha...!

And the guys also manged to dislocate the skull from its proper position. Oh, boy.

Soon, it was the girls' turn to inspect our new source of curiosity when (don't ask me how) the whole group conversation (with teacher providing explanations) reverted to sexual reproduction. Now, how on EARTH did that happen?!! Oh, man. We're giving ourselves a bad name! Somehow, all those facts make me feel more... fragile. Ouch. Eek.

Science has never been so fascinating..

Physics - Rachel Kwan had a fit of sleepiness - a jolly good thing she didn't pass it on to me... then for some apparent reason, she burst into incessant laughter for several minutes after some conversation with Darell. Conclusion: Science One students are utter nuts who crack up for no reason due to excessive stress. Complacency? More like, critical emotional instability and easily berserk-ed laughing receptors.

Chemistry - Haha! I had a real good laugh at this one... We were conducting 'Garam' experiments in the Chem lab. Halfway through, my group extracted the 'baki' and 'hasil' from the 'turasan' (Ist that distillation in English?) And I asked Yen Tink to help us light the Bunsen burner. We put the liquid hasil onto the 'mangkuk penyejat'. But Yen Tink said no, we had to use the baki and she picked up the liquid and flushed it down into the sink. A split second later, I realised that I was right! Haha... A good thing, time's up came right after that! Funny gal kept apologizing but I was glad enough to have a good laugh to cherish in years to come!

NG YEN TINK WHERE ARE YOUUUUU!!!

Sorry sorry... I'm feeling a bit nostalgic/emo/bored at the moment.

I miss you all! :)

Love,

Flo.
