National Service

2011-12-03T21:59:00.002+08:00

Well ladies and Gentlemen, My National Service experience has come to close. To be frank, i cannot believe its over. I can still remember my time in Tekong, with Leopard Company. Platoon 3 Section 1 Bed 11!! Can still remember the feeling of your head shaved. Somehow felt like a prison. Haha. 9 Weeks of BMT. I actually shared a bunk with guys who are now like Specialist and Officers, awesome! And I became a Combat Medic.

Being assigned to Combat Medic, was my first time looking upon Nee Soon Camp, from which i would spend a year 8 months of my NS. 12 Weeks of EMT
(Emergency Medical Technician) Course. The live I/V(Intravenous) sessions, 10! I actually managed to successfully set a drip. Pretty Cool! Learned lots of life-saving techniques, ranging from CPR to the Heimlich Maneuver! Also AED! Certified Man!!

After EMT, i joined MRF. From which i would spend the remaining 1 and half years of NS. And i tell you, it was awesome! The crap you go through with the guys builds this form of camaraderie which is almost unbreakable. And not to mention the welfare! AWESOME!! And when ORD came, the handshakes at the end, the strong grip, really meant a lot. All the good lucks and well wishes. The grip on the handshake really represent the friendship we made with each other. I felt kinda sad to be honest. More ambivalent actually. A happiness for completing NS, but a sadness for knowing we are all moving on with our lives. And we may not cross each others path ever again. Well, that's a brief explanation of my National Service.

ORD OH!!!!!!

7 days

2011-11-26T06:29:00.002+08:00

In a week, life after National Service begins. A realm that god knows, one where we have yet to explore. He knows your capacity, and your attitude affects the outcome. So never give up, never surrender, because Allah never gives up on you.

Bismillah, Ya Allah, shed some light and direction for me, give me strength and clarity. Forgive my weaknesses, it has hit me in the face hard. Thank you for all the things you have given me, i ask for your patience and believe. Thank you for making me a muslim. Amin.

I just love this song, Coldplay FTW!!

and i will try to FIX YOU

Rough Road

2011-10-16T22:53:00.002+08:00

A long the way, you realise, there is a price to everything. Even in most obscure places of the mind, lies a a thought that encompasses pain. When you go on a rough road, you face the craters, the unevenness, a sudden shock-wave. You face the inevitable rebellion of the heart, so do whats right. Keep it together. Amin.

Like a rollercoaster...

Awkward

2011-09-24T22:04:00.002+08:00

Different people meeting each other for the first time, just weird. Super awkward. And when there is a clear distinction; the successful and not so successful, the normal and the eccentric. How quaint. When you really feel different, a sudden plunge into a world of loneliness. Haha. Yeah!! Oh, birds of a feather really flock together. This is where the theory of opposites attracting is totally as what Marshall says, LAWYERED!

Feeling out of place

Coldplay - Paradise

2011-09-21T12:41:00.002+08:00

A good song for who? Think you know? Haha
COLDPLAY FTW!!! Cannot wait!!

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.

When she was just a girl,
She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
So she ran away in her sleep.

Dreamed of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Every time she closed her eyes.

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.

When she was just a girl,
She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
And bullets catch in her teeth.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/coldplay/paradise_20980626.html ]
Life goes on,
It gets so heavy,
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
Every tear, a waterfall.
In the night, the stormy night,
She closed her eyes.
In the night,
The stormy night,
Away she flied.

Chorus:
I dream of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

She dreamed of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

La-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la.

Still lying underneath the stormy skies.
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I know the sun's set to rise.

[Chorus x2]

Oh, oh. Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

[Chorus]

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo...

Transcend

2011-09-21T12:20:00.002+08:00

Rise above, or go over.
Walk it off, or take heed.
Hold on, or let go.

Guess these few words form cobwebs in the mind.
A certain aspect of life that does not seem to give a break.
And how much you try to wield that strength to fight it, it prevails!!

And when you realise you were being toyed, and you keep believing you weren't, what is that? Ambivalence at its best! Oh, look at how much uncertainty you have riled up. Do you know this? Haha. A drama post?

Transcend, the confines of time and space

Number 220!

2011-08-29T22:36:00.002+08:00

Bet people have written more posts, haha. 220, a solid PSLE score to have you think?

You know when you have those heart to heart talks? It really is refreshing, and it opens up your heart, to share, explain, consolidate, and hopefully for the better good yeah? Yet some ideas are still misty, clouded by doubt, insecurity, confidence.
The revelations bring about words of wisdom and thought. And to be able to decide what is right. And whatever comes, is due the fact that God, made it happen. He knows best, he knows everything.
What topic i discussed today you wonder? A matter of the past, the present, yes. The future? Haha, hmm....

The past
I know, I said, you know, you said, i heard. We felt, do not deny. Special, indeed. Clear the air, you confidently so. You said; do you feel something too? I know, you do.

Ambivalence

2011-08-05T23:40:00.002+08:00

So alike. Really. Its unbelievable. Its astonishing. Its perfection. By all means ones heart desires. Yet you place them here, in such a way almost frustrating. A test that you have bestowed. Like a wind that sweeps by, blows you away in your wake. Yet puts you to sleep soundly, with a million and one questions still ringing in mind. In need of guidance, and yet in need of forgiveness.

For having this feeling of ambivalence, where the heart is in sheer turbulence....

Tranquil

2011-07-24T01:41:00.000+08:00

Stand your ground!

some random story

2011-07-07T20:43:00.004+08:00

she said "am not ready, sorry"
he said "okay :)"

kesian eh? haha, good day!

Up And On

2011-07-07T08:24:00.003+08:00

"Up and On" It was my brothers school motto, Saint Andrews School. These 3 words bear great depth and meaning. Really expresses the need for progress, for our lives need to improve everyday. Do not let repercussions hold you back, sometimes it just worked out that way, and maybe its a wake up call, or its for the best? And knowing how severe life can be if you do not do well, its certainly is a motivational factor. So UP AND ON People, keep moving up and forward!!

FIND THAT MOTIVATION, HANIS!!!

Quantify

2011-07-02T23:26:00.003+08:00

Any leads? Whats the status? Evidence recovered? Can you quantify?

We hear these question constantly in shows such as Criminal Minds, CSI, and so on.
Guess it never gets old. And the fact repetition occurs to greater emphasise its importance. They'd go deep into the crime scene, turn the tables around, bring justice, and solve the crime.

So if you could turn the tables around, would you?

I'd rather be a comma, than a full stop

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

2011-06-17T19:15:00.001+08:00

The lyrics, it means something. WOAH!!!

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON
MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE
I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG

AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE
I TURN THE MUSIC UP
I'M ON A ROLL THIS TIME
AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG
DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP
I'D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP

MAYBE I'M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I'M ON MY KNEES
MAYBE I'M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES
BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START
CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART

AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO
TO TELL ME IT'S ALRIGHT
AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY
AND EVERY TEAR'S A WATERFALL
IS A WATERFALL

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/every-teardrop-is-a-waterfall-lyrics-coldplay.html ]

OH
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
IS A IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH

SO YOU CAN HURT, HURT ME BAD
BUT STILL I'LL RAISE THE FLAG

OH
IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL
A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL

EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

Going into Oblivion!

Move Along

2011-05-02T16:36:00.001+08:00

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your...
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep us strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through move along

move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceivin
All the days held in your...
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
when every thing is wrong, we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
when every thing is wrong, we move along
along, along (we move along),along

[Softly:]
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know ya do.
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along

[Loudly:]
Just to make through,
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know ya do.
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x2]

Move along(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along (Go on, go on, go on, go on)
[simultaniously]
[Fade out]

Against All Adversity

2011-05-02T08:22:00.002+08:00

Brace yourself,
prepare for the worst.
you may get hurt.

Not undermining the possibilities,
but they tend to be unjust subtelties.

Whats been made clear,
go through it with no fear,
though the odds appear to mere,
if so, just go away from here.

Aspiration

2011-04-23T00:45:00.002+08:00

Gonna try out this new concept of posts.. Posts begin with titles. And titles define the whole story? So its best to begin with the meaning of the title.

as·pi·ra·tion /ˌæspəˈreɪʃən/ Show Spelled
[as-puh-rey-shuhn]
–noun
1. strong desire, longing, or aim; ambition: intellectual aspirations.
2. a goal or objective desired: The presidency is the traditional aspiration of young American boys.
3. act of aspirating; breath.
4. Phonetics .
a. articulation accompanied by an audible puff of breath, as in the h -sound of how, or of when (hwen), or in the release of initial stops, as in the k -sound of key.
b. the use of an aspirate in pronunciation.
5. Medicine/Medical .
a. the act of removing a fluid, as pus or serum, from a cavity of the body, by a hollow needle or trocar connected with a suction syringe.
b. the act of inhaling fluid or a foreign body into the bronchi and lungs, often after vomiting.

credits to dictionary.com

Gonna go with numbers 1-3.

Definition 1 and 2, applies to lots of people. Be it a plumber, or Steve Irwin a croc hunter (miss him man). And the definition describes: strong desire. Means wanting something that bad, like your life is on the line. Epic huh? haha! Knowing this, people lay down their convictions loud and clear, find that drive to it? Not to mention, strong desire can be destructive. You may be overly obsessed with the idea. This may prove to be disastrous. Life is open, free will, you're given that chance by god, to do anything you want. But lets keep things in perspective. Some desires are mugged by how you live your life. And the word that associates itself to many; change. Evolution, elevation, descending; nouns we use to survey the current situation; quite simply, if its better? or worse? or stale. Desire; making yourself believe that its acheivable. Nothing standing in your way (An overstatement? Perhaps)
And the goal, top corner, bottom corner, smack center, you choose! For what the people want sometimes is a sign, knowing that whatever their doing to achieve that desire is that much closer, safely said, its working! But going out of your way to get something done, is just bad. Theres only so much that can be done, doing more than that would seem inappropriate. Its not you, its the ego you... But the desire that most of us have is certainly living a successful life, dreams captured, memories remembered forever. So aspire, in the end, only you know who you are.

The Adjustment Bureau

2011-03-14T19:17:00.003+08:00

Now, this movie is good. Most belief systems, say that the higher being knows what you'll turn out at the end of the day. Some are meant to be great composers like Bach and Mozart. In this, "David Norris" played by Matt Damon, was planned to by the"Chairman" to be a impactful Politician. But in life, there is always chance. So he met Elise (Emily Blunt), someone he'd fall in love with, would sway his initial plan made by the" Chairman" for him to be successful. If he stayed with her, he'd never be a politician. Epic huh? So the TAB (The Adjustment Bureau) steps in to make sure his life plan stays on track, and i mean on track.. But in the end, the motive of the film is how far you'd go to fight for what you want and need, against all adversity..
Wish life was like the movies; getting the girl is that much easier. ahaha! Cheerio!

Life as we know it.

2011-03-03T23:22:00.002+08:00

We believe that pictures speak thousands of words
We prefer action more than words
We hide away, seek solitude from the world (may/ may not be a good thing)

Human beings exploit, sealing the loop holes (but get caught, sometimes)
And they don't realise that sometimes they have gone just too far...

*notice how the first few lines kinda anger/frustration? happy next!

We dream as it is better that reality
We treasure lifes little pleasures (be happy go lucky yeah?)
We share joy with another, lighten the hearts of others..

Human beings care, ensuring everyone around them is loved (however love is still a choice, sad eh?)
And love makes the world go round! (Powerpuff girls FTW)

Life as we know it. Kinda liking the rippling effect it gives the human soul.
You dig??

Someone tells you off right in the face, cool huh? They gather all the confidence and composure they need, or maybe its just the devil inside, just to say something bad.
The guy on receiving end; should he retaliate? Keep quiet? Let it go over their heads?
I guess we should just keep up, and find whats the real cause.

As much as you can, willingly with your heart and soul, touch lives and do good. For Ramadhan is a period where we all put our hands together in prayer for a better day, better life, better you! And, we're fasting! lets hold back on all those temptations.
Wishing everybody a blessed Ramadhan. And to Singapore, Happy 45!

Keeping up with the times

2010-07-31T17:35:00.002+08:00

Okay. Medical Response Force Conversion Course, the most excruciating, physically challenging, mentally draining, abdominal aching, body weakening course EVER!!! And the worse part of Army life is, you are separated from your family for days. Gaining motivation to carry on is constantly revolving amongst ourselves, so as to persevere all the way to end. But i guess some of us need our family for moral support, the love gives us enlightenment in some ways, our strengths recharged and ready to go. To even larger scopes, girlfriends also play a part for some. The human heart, a wonderful thing eh?

Am currently at home, recuperating from the 3 weeks of HELL!! It is literally hell. Now the only thing i want to do is sleep, let go of reality for awhile. Learning new things has never been so painful. A Mistake made is equivalent to push ups, the number is decided by them, so you know what that means. Imagine your being yelled at right into your ear. They stand right in your face and SCREAM!! They scold beyond measure. It gets worst when 5 of them stand around you yelling their heads off. Terrible? YOU BET IT IS!!!! I 100% seriously cannot wait for this to end.
Note to everybody, please pray for my friends and me who are going through this course, 1 more week left, and it will be the toughest yet, so we need your hope and prayer. Thank You so much.

Now just me in particular, I'm just glad I'm at home. The saying goes "there's no place like home" "I'm going home, to the place where i belong, where love has always been enough for me" Daughtry.

What I do during my civilian hours? Composing, relaxing, thinking, pondering, daydreaming, and hoping. Hoping for a better days ahead and for the future. If you want to know what i think/ponder/daydream/hope about, ask away!! Enjoy the weekend! Oh Fasting month coming, WOOTS!!!

cold cold water, bring me round, now my feet won't touch the ground

i know in your heart, you feel something too... don't turn away from it

Greatful to Allah, who with his undying care and love, has granted me another year, Syukur Alhamdulillah. Allowing me to carry on with whatever that is remaining of my life, and to hopefully do better things, to fulfill the dreams and aspirations, and to continue being ME! haha. Amin.

Show gratitude to the ones who have made your day. Even the bus driver, he deserves credit for taking you from one place to another, be greatful, say thank you! Look whats around you now, more than you ever dreamed. Think of the wonderful memories, the bad ones too , let them fill you up, and be in constant wonder that all those memories have brought to where you are now, be greatful. Choosing to walk down a certain road, leading to certain reprecussions, be greatful.

And to you, thank you, you really are something special.

What's Next Nur Hanis?

2010-05-28T00:21:00.003+08:00

The good thing about NS i guess is that it fills up your time for awhile, takes you away from the harshness of reality that comes striking down on you, education wise ofcourse. Ironically speaking, NS is harsh in nature, so effects are off-set, kesian.
Nevertheless, its an experience worth living, for men ofcourse.

What's Next Nur Hanis? Pondering about what to do next can be a rheoterical question , it may also be a I.Q. aswell as a E.Q. question. Something to think about for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades and so on. We realise how crucial past events are, and where it has brought us today. And now looking ahead with the past in mind, knowing we are getting older everyday, and may go through bigger events, *hmm? haha*. Carreer, lifestyle, love? *this can be tough* The future is for discovering, so here's wishing to all who may have been let down by certain circumstances to always have faith, i guess there is a place for everyone on this planet? A vacancy at a firm, a teacher needed, an accountant wanted, and so on..
Good luck, praying for your success, always.

Have you ever felt love? Or fall in love for that matter. And after countless days, they are always who you think about. But somehow its hard to reach? Wondering what i'm talking about? Random maybe? Maybe not random, haha, how cool the human mind is.

You're always remembered, and thats for sure!! *Oh-Oh!!*

when something is broken, and you try to fix it, trying to repair it, anyway you can...

Countdown

2010-03-21T11:42:00.003+08:00

It is normal for any National Serviceman to countdown the remaining number of days his Passing Out Parade, and its coming in 3 weeks!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!! Major events like Field Camp and Situational Test are over, this means the level of pain and suffering should deteriorate, but it will rise again cause Physical Training still remains,
IPPT HANIS!!!!

I'm hoping that the final 3 weeks would be smooth sailing at least, praying that it passes by as fast as possible, because to be honest, BMT? It is every soldiers nightmare!! (Referring to the trainings of course) There are positives to BMT, more importantly, they are the friends you have made during training. I suppose going through so much hardship(BMT) really strengthens bonds. Band Of Brothers, literally. Endure MEN!!! 3 More Weeks And We'll Be Through!!!!

I put on AKE's CD in the stereo, and the music started playing. It is seriously reminiscene at its best. Brings back the memories, well, thats what reminiscene is.
Emotions here, there and everywhere, Cheerio!

Just as curious as you are

Field Camp

2010-03-13T22:12:00.002+08:00

Back from Field Camp, and it was the most unforgettable, trying moments one can ever have. Imagine sleeping in your tent knowing you'll be soaked the next day because of the rain? Sleeping on the ground which is easily weakend by water is NOT a good way to go. haha. Muddy hands man!! In any case, Field camp is done, alhamdulillah, now back at home typing this post. The sad thing is, family has gone for a holiday, so i'm all alone at home. Its so quiet. Wish i could have joined them, but National Service became the hindrance, *one long sigh* Oh well, its okay, because Allowance came in already! Woohooo!!

Junqi, a friend i made in camp, he talked to me about 'loneliness'. Quite a sensitive topic but its something i find quite alot within me too. Its a bittersweet affair, ambivalent i think. It can be caused by self, or your peers. Hmm? Haha, you guys should know better, Cheerio!

come on love, stay with me....

Reminescence of Millennia 2009

2010-01-06T21:50:00.009+08:00

2009 was a year filled with more drama. Alot of action, alot of disputes, lots of love, lots of misunderstanding, and this goal of mine of restoring friendships under jeopardy, well, not entirely but in some key areas. Got to understand certain things too. 2009 began like this.

NEW 07B1
The new year saw the classlists going bonkers, students being transfered to different classes, for what reasons? i have no clue but, it was fun!! 8 people joined our class namely, Joey, Pei Jie, Mei Yan, Jeslin, Hidayah, Fabian, Ting Jia, and Xinfu. They all came from the quite hyper class of 07B3, so was wondering wether they would carry the "disease" of hyperactivity into 07B1, and yes, they did. The class was louder? Well, to me yeah. Okay next. Mr Chelvam, the critically acclaimed Management Teacher, who taught the B1's who took MOB for 3 years. It was my first time really getting to know him. He is a nice teacher, i think older people are wiser and more philosophical and highly intellect, so could get along with him very well, can joke about stuff, awesome! And Mdm Wang, very pleasent, i've always held teachers in high regard, cause they do have the paper, the job, they undertook the oath of civil service created by the goverment, thats alot of responsibilties, they've got the balls!! haha

SPORTS FIESTA
The PE Department decided to have the Sports day and games day together. So on the set, you could see those inflatables? The ones kids like to jump around in especially during fun fairs or carnivals? Instead it was used for some game, volleyball inspired. The usual track events were also there. I've always liked track events, especially sprints, adrenaline rush. The speed is breathtaking, and its even more exciting when they're all fast, the finishing line is always so close. Defying the laws of physics sometimes, man can run so fast, just look at Usain Bolt, amazing eh? Okay, after the hoo-haa of Sports Fiesta, it was then to the release of the of H1 results.

H1 Chemistry - D\H1 Malay -D

Oral - Pass , RABAK RIGHT?? I KNOW... (I Shame myself)

I was relieved in some ways cause, i never passed Chemistry during the internal exams. Always over-shadowed by the likes of Aiishah, Faezah. And i mean by miles. That far. I was quite miserable really, knowing they top the class, most of the time, shouldn't i follow suit? guess not huh Hanis?? 2009 struck a chord within me saying, "Hanis, maybe you're not cut out for this thing, but you got promoted all the way, watcha gonna do" Since it was the end, i just did what i can, and hope H2s would present themselves to be better. Academics has not been that great for me, throughout my 19 years of existence. Something's gotta give ya know?

B1 had an outing earlier part of the year, though the occasion to me was rather unclear. Anyway, it was at the Esplanade rooftop garden, i think it was like an icebreaker session, since we had new members to the class. Played truth or dare. No matter how truth or dare, people can still lie right? haha. Okay next. So we had pizzas.

What next? Oh yes, the PW Results. As mentioned earlier, i got a C. Quite justifiable because of what i've done, the pain that i might have caused for the group. And the amount of work, uncomparable to what Aiishah and Qiao Ying. I owe them for that grade that i got. I think i would have gotten worse if it ain't for them.

And 2009 was the year i got into a clique environment. It is one of those things i have not experienced first hand, not even with my classmates, terrible right? Hanis Hanis.. Being in a clique of mix gender really has some implications. But it opened me up to a world of happiness that was so pleasing. I love those people really.

The combination of these 4 people in my life is quite wonderful. All of them watch TWILIGHT twice just because of me, i could never repay the kindness they showed me. And the initial doom of being alone just seem to fade away ya know? But even the limelight of it all, there are always complications. Love can destroy ya know? haha, not funny... Izwan, Hidayah, Kurniawan, Rasyidah, Thank you so much!! I'll never forget yall!! I have left a scar so deep, which cannot be seen, i apologize dearly... I wish yall the best in life yah?? Thank you...

AKE SYF
The pinnacle of my time there, next to Australia of course. WE GOT GOLD!!!!!!!! All thanks to the hard work of all the Members. And to Ms Alicia's genius. OBLIVION and CRIMSON SUN!!! MASTERPIECES In their own right....

Look at everybody, so glamorous in Red!! Thanks to Sri for designing the outfits, the seamstress was not all that nice isn't she? Haha, anyway. I enjoy going to AKE, for various reasons. 1 is music, i love it!! 2. The people there are so warm and welcoming. And again a female majority society, i learn alot about women, their fashion, so i would not be so lost if i were to ever join a conversation. I love the people! I try my best to be everyones good friend, thats why i prefered one 2 one conversations. Its more personal, and more meaning ful in a sense. (No link right?) Moving On.

SEOUL GARDEN WITH AKE

This gathering was to acknowledge AKE's success in the SYF, it was during the June Holidays, and tell you i got the surprise of my life. Here are the pictures!

Little did i know, the entire gang had a birthday surprise for me. Nothing like this has ever happened to me. I was so stunned. I couldn't believe it initially. Happiness filled me up! To those who worked together for the gift, thank you so much, i love it!!!! The fact that this was the first ever surprise i ever had from friends, it was so special. At the same moment, i kept thinking to myself, "I don't deserve this, what have i done to get this birthday gift?" I was full of question with everyone. I love yall, really!!!

After SEOUL, i followed Sri and Co and went bowling, quite cool really. And chilled at Fullerton and talked, its amazing how girls exchange stories, again,it helped me uncover some truths. haha

TRANSCENDENCE 2009/ ARTS FRINGE 2009
Performed again, this time twice, with Juliana first, and then Kurniawan.

Reminescence of Millennia 2008

2010-01-04T09:13:00.011+08:00

2008

Second year of my time in Millennia saw alot of controversy, dilemma, emotions and drama too. It was an all important year as we had to sit for our H1 exams at the end of the year, for me would be Chemistry and Malay Language. And in 2008, saw the introduction of of Project Work. The time spent during PW was a painful moment for most students i believe. Working with new colleagues or people they rarely hang out with together. It is indeed a trying time especially when you're not on really good terms with them. And as metioned earlier in 2007, there were on 3 males, the possibility of being in a group with them is almost zero. The groups were decided by draw lots, made by our form teacher and GP Teacher Mdm Ong, am so missing her GP lessons, which were rather witty, intelectual, and informative mostly. Okay back to PW, the 3 males were somehow "doomed" to work with a team that more females, obviously. The group i was in were with Aiishah, Aishah, Qiao Ying, Shalani. Now, before the PW group formations, i had a little row with the Aishahs along with Faezah. Long story, ask personally if you want to know. So i had this insecurity which most of the time took over me when i faced them during lessons, most of the time i lay quiet, because of the misunderstanding that happened between them and myself. Nonetheless, the show must go on.. And hope all is forgiven.. Moving along....

PW

PW made me more aware of women's characteristics. They are hardworking, diligent people who seek excellence i suppose, atleast for the people i worked with. The PW process is a whole year's effort to put together a Written Report and a Presentation, which hopefully impress the judges and score the grades. The group was named, RCR (Rock Climbing Rocks) Created by Aiishah? I find it cheesy at first but was okay, the fact that there were to R's made it sound like some Recyling effort notion? yeah... It was based on Aiishah's project of Sir Edmund Hillary, an infamous man who conquered Everest. So it was to contrive all his successes and failures, which made him a better man? And so the project revolves around certain moral values such as Determination, Perseverance, etcetera. Don't let the rock climbing fool you cause, it really did happen! Thanks to Aiishah and Qiao Ying Collectively. They did majority of the work.
These are 2 snap shots, the place "Climber Laboratory", no conical flask, burettes or pipettes, just ropes and people, and rocks. Not seen an indoor rock wall before so was quite stunned. There were games after that. I'll just show you some pictures.

Okay, fast forward to the results, I got a 'C' for PW, it was justifiable, given my minimal contribution to the group, my lacklustre work, with all the excuses buried within in it. The rest who got better grades, deservedly so, infact i owe them for the grade i've got, am greatful in that respect. I'll create a "Thank You" post once the reminescence trilogy is done.

BRISBANE

The next part of my surreal 2008 was the trip with AKE to Brisbane. I had so much fun there. The CCA took part in the Southern Cross International Music Festival. For me personally, it was a pinnacle moment of my life, because i've never ventured to the Pacific before, and it has been years, don't know how many actually, since i rode a plane. It was awesome. Australia is a beautiful place. The cliche "The grass is greener on the other side" seems to be ambivalent in most minds, but not mine. Indeed it was a Beautiful Country. For the first time, you see lots more white people, but to our surprise, we actually see many other internationals settling there, Japanese, Korean, Asian basically. The process of entering the festival was not known to most of us, the Teachers, Mr Jaron Pow, Ms Eileen Lim, and out beloved conductor, Ms Angeline Wee, had to send a video to the Griffith University Queensland Conservatorium, an audition i presume. And amazaingly, we were allowed to participate. I could create a long long post here, but to those reading, you can inquire from many others who went, for what i say here may not be the full story. Okay here we go.

DAY 1 (Journey To Brisbane)

Shifting Boxes, Luggages, you know the drill. Haha, going to another country with friends is so cool!

Was Allocated to a seat called 60A? which was a window seat, AWESOME!!!! And the row i was in were with these two people, Kurniawan and Fatin, Kecoh i tell you sit with them... The 7 hour flight saw me do quite a few things; watch some movies, such as Horton, Step Up 2. Comedies such as Two and Half Men, and also played games, like Mega Men? And played Taiti with these two people, Fatin came out on top, beaten by a lady, oh the agony, haha.

DAY 2 (Kelvin Grove State College)

The itinerary said we had to perform at some school which was quite musically inclined, The school was called Kelvin Grove State College, and i tell you, their 16 year olds are tall, Asians don't come close!!! haha

DAY 3: SUNCORP PIAZZA
Trip to the Queensland Conservatorium. Griffith University, the place for musicians. The campus is huge, greenery everywhere. And its a convertible stadium-theater kind of place, they've got this huge mobile roofs which can move and block out the sun or rain? Yeah, anyhows, let the pictures tell you the story.
DAY 4: PERCUSSION MASTER CLASS We headed on back the next day to the conservatory to learn some techniques. Couldn't remember what her name was, but she did a solo with household kitchen items, again, i'll let the pictures do the talking.
PERFORMANCE DAY We played two songs, Pachebel's Canon in C and Suri Ram

And Finally, DREAMWORLD GOLD COAST AUSTRALIA!!!!
Okay, Brisbane more or less done, more 2008 to come!

MUSIQUE UNIFIANTE

The final concert for the year. It was a memorable event because it was Ms Wee's final concert before she goes of to the states. And it was also the premier of Kurniawan's rendition of Viva La Vida, i'll post up the performance video eh? Enjoy!!!!

And also another highlight, performing with Bahirah and Kurniawan, with a song called "Can I Have this dance" Looks like i'm a hunch.

2008 also saw alot of people leave Millennia, due to various reasons, where ever they are now, i wish them all the best!

Well, these are the highlights of 2008 for me, theres more, i'll reminescence some other time. haha. Cheerio.

I LOVE MY LIFE!!!

Reminescence of Millennia 2007

2009-12-31T22:03:00.009+08:00

This post may be a drag, word of advisory, leave if you must, leave if you want to.
This post basically dictates the time i spent in Millennia Institute, some parts are edited for copyright purposes. (Not really lah). This is what i can recall. If anyone is offended in the process, greatest apologies, as we might not meet each other ever again, in the same tone, i wish everyone the best in their life. The new Hijrah Year 1431 has started a few weeks ago, and the AD year of 2010 in less than 2 hours time, may the new year bring you sweeter memories and greater success.

2007

'O' Levels result day. Like any other, anxiety filled the air. Meeting classmates and school mates after a long break after the exams was refreshing, the "how are you" question was all over the place. People came back with dread locks, blonde hair, attitudes of sorts, it was not the same people i went with to school during my 4 years in Greenview. But its the human cycle; time, place, situation, changes everyone. Okay enough blabbering. On to the results. We were all made to sit in twos? Or a single file. Mr Roger Lim, my form teacher for two years (3E2 and 4E2). A great lad, thanks for all the fun lessons! He called us up one by one. After a few, my name was called out. My results are as such. It sucks really. Living in denial.

English Language - C6
Mathematics - B3
Additional Mathematics - B3
Combined Humanities - B3
(Social Studies/History)
Combined Sciences - C5
(Physics/Biology)
Chemistry - D7
Malay Language - C6
Oral (Merit)
Tabulation - L1R5 26 L1R4 20 RABAK RIGHT??? I KNOW.

Options? Did not know what to do. At the point, i was sort of a happy go lucky person, very accepting of what comes, somehow satisfied with what the results were, but seriously, i look at them, it sucks. The bad thing about doing badly is it eliminates all those dreams you may have, but at the time, i did not have a dream yet, very floating. Was going through all the options. They we're not many. Mostly IT and Electronics. Then i saw Millennia Institute. Which said L1R4 20 or below. I was quite relieved that i met the criteria, and hope application would go smoothly. Was in two minds, first was the fact that it meant doing 'A' Levels for 3 years, and the distance was disastrous! I live in Pasir Ris and the school was in Bukit Batok. Then again, Singapore is a small island, it was not so bad. I for a fact like wearing uniforms, School life somehow is the best, so if i proceeded to the Polytechnics, it would be home clothes, which is headache prone for sure, choosing outfits to wear everyday. And somehow wearing a uniform and going to school, there is that bit of discipline, which i favoured too. Though there will be rebels and law breakers, exciting eh? And Millennia was what i chose.
My first year there marked the first day of using the new school, which shifted from 2 sites, Bartley and Toh Tuck, merging into 1. The school looks nice, though others may debate otherwise.

It was new, sort of a new beginning for a lot of people. On to the first few days of school. There was orientation ofcourse. Made new friends, Iszaky, Syaiful, Zahura, Syira, Daryl, Rain, and so on. Was in the group Hesper 2? Wonder what that means, okay back. Played games, ice breakers, and dancing. And then off to our classes. Before that we chose subject combinations. My selection was H2 Mathematics, Economics and Principles of Accounting, H1 Chemistry, the rest are compulsory like GP, Malay, PW. The eagerness to find out what class your allocated too was quite exciting. And so they released it.

07B1

So there it is. 07B1. Mrs Shirlyn Tan was our form teacher. Very nice lady. Motivated bunch i guess, count the number of males people. It is really a life changing experience, beahavioural sense. Certain etiquettes and social styles are exercised. I begin to appreciate women more for their character, gentleness in speech and song. Learned alot about women basically. Got to know the first few girls which i hanged out with most of the time during recess during the earlier part of the year, Aiishah, Faezah, Aishah, and Relieana. Having a girl bestfriend is one of kind, Fills me up with happiness, for someone else is willing to share their life stories with you, very cool. The introduction of Cliques came to my life. Its a very new environment for me, so there is bound to have problems in communication and feelings hurt, that kind of stuff? There are periods where i experience loneliness, well, more of lone ranger. But formed good compatriates with the boys, Elvis and Chen Yang. Being the only Malay guy also is another challenge. The fate of being alone seemed inevitable. For 3 years in MI, i suffered the fate of only malay male in 07B1. Oh well.

Angklung Kulintang Ensemble. This represent the other half of my life in Millennia. I love music, so i decided to give a go for the cca, and boy i have never ever regretted. Made more friends. Met Ms Angeline Wee. Our mentor for almost 2 years before Ms Alicia took over in 2009. Learning music is fun, on a personal note, it has help me improve in my knowledge, theoratically. Talking about major and minor, natural and harmonic minors, and relating them together to form a good song. Ms Wee's music were more folk and traditional, such hit numbers are "Di Tankjung Katong" "Chan Mali Chan" "Suri Ram" and so on. With practice, all the members were in sync, in harmony, in rhythm and melody. I'll talk more about Ms Alicia in 2008 and 2009. In AKE, was under the tutorship with Tze Kiat and Fahmi, as i liked beats at the time, which later made me the ensembles drummer!! Feet and hand coordination was really a biggie. It took me awhile to be accustomed to your limbs moving in sync, on the drumset. You had to step on bass drum and hi hat pedals. And your hands clutching the drum sticks, "WRIST!!!!!!" Ms Wee kept scolding me for my stiff nature in movement, no wonder i cannot dance. These pictures were back in 2007 if i'm not mistaken. Performing at Singapore Polytechnic.

And AKE was also where i met Kurniawan, who soon became my very good friend. His talent in music is sublime, most of yall know. I'll have a blog which is sort of a credits post, thanking everyone who became a friend to me? Stay tuned!!!

TRANSCENDENCE 2007

2007 was also the year i participated in Transcendence. First time performing live infront of a rather packed Centre Stage (Our School Auditorium) which could accomadate atleast 400 people. The band i was in was named REVERIE.

Fareez Vocals, Edward Bass, Felza Drums, and myself in the guitar. Played Snow Patrol numbers "Chasing Cars" and "You're All I Have". Ad lib tempo songs, but was worth it, was quite fun performing. Hope who ever did came and watch had a good time. I think theres more i can write but its already draggy. So goodnight, 2008 post coming soon!!

thanks for the memories......

give me love over this...

Chaos Theory

2009-12-20T21:34:00.003+08:00

Was browsing through wikipedia the yesterday, and saw this article about
the "CHAOS THEORY"
The theory is a study of behaviour of dynamic systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. Mini changes from the start can yield thousands of results, which is the epitome of humans being need for research and development. Experiments, autopsy, people. The theory says the results are determined by their initial conditions and no random variables. Human beings can be affected by random variables in their lives, mentally, socially, the anatomy? haha. Even what lies in their hearts. But there are those who stick to thier believes from the day they first see the light after birth till they puff their last breath. Life is Chaos? Well, perfection is always what we aim for. Oh well.

Peoples feelings change too. Changeling. Its unpredictable, either done purposely, or unconsciously due to time and space. The "space" in which we travel in reveals secrets of many things, like how Volcanos errupt, are they angry? We try to personify nature. And Volcanos explode with balzing infernos, also like the human soul, where unease can lead to chaos. And Volcanos errupt unknowningly, but the effect is massive, its almost similar to bottled up pain or agony which implodes and explodes in the end. And the opposite, the lush green fields of the everglades in Switzerland, the tall grass dancing in the wind, the flower dancing in the breeze (Michael Buble - Sway) representing harmony or the human race? The calmness within, and all we want is peace. haha. Conditons change, latter changes. Happy Holidays!

if you love me, won't you let me know...

Life Updates

2009-12-18T15:55:00.002+08:00

Its been almost 3 weeks since A's ended. Life has been very carefree. Extended sleeping sessions. Extended music sessions of playing guitar and keyboard. Learning music. Staying home, doing chores. Cleaning. Sitting duck really. Trying to get as much inspiration from classical music and world music, i believe fusion music is the greatest like Kitaro. Even Dido, mix of the bongos and congas. Other than that, i'm a free man, date anyone? haha

Entrapment

Lost & Found

2009-12-13T00:30:00.002+08:00

Lost & Found, its something seen in lots of places. Usually deals with expensive items, which results from one being careless, leaving things around unattended. If they're lucky, the central body recovers the good, and returns to the owner. However, some of us do live with the mindset of 'Finders Keepers'. A benefit in that sense. Nevertheless, we do the righteous thing by returning it to the rightful owner, for honesty is what people always look for in others? Yeah. Well the argument so far is dealing with the material aspects.

Another is the intangible, like feelings, friendships, which most certainly mean alot to us eh? We just lose them just like that, unknowingly, we may forget what they meant to us? Not good people! And the holidays, break from school thats for sure. Being people, we get distracted by the things that happen to us, thus friendships may weaken. Well thats the lost, and within the transition, we may also find new friends, restoration project. Finding alternative methods to take your mind of expectations and whatever heartpains you might have.

Maintaining that bridge of connections is what we strive for, holding on those friends we cherish the most. Thats love people. Letting them know may create loads of difference, the latter is for you to discover, developments unfold. Cause you never know whats in store for you... Lets pray its all good, I have no idea wether this post makes sense, you can ask away!

For this feeling of ambivalence....

Okay chiow! And a final quote, always look on the brighter side of life, eventhough it can't get real nasty. Cheerio, Happy Deepavali.

i never liked the quote "You know you love me"

Fame

2009-09-30T09:39:00.003+08:00

Watch Fame Yesterday, awesome! Performing Arts at its very best. And the Cast, talented i tell you!

Hot People!

Kay Panabaker, my new celebrity girlfriend! nyahaha

Mathematics

2009-09-24T21:49:00.002+08:00

Having Math exam tomorrow, hoping for the best, aren't we all? haha take care. Notice how X & Y are always used algebra, representing quantities and values no one actually knows. And we always try our best to find out, curiousity arises. Like getting to know someone better, kinda like a sherlock holmes, detective work! go search!

still got it eh?

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!

2009-09-22T13:25:00.002+08:00

SELAMAT HARI RAYA to all muslims around the world!

Lets celebrate our victory after fasting for a month!

Myself Hanis, would like to seek forgiveness from everyone who i may have done wrong in anyway, big or small, purposely or accidentally, Enjoy the festivities!! Oh Pre-Liminary Examinations still going on! Jeng3.

for you i will....

Time

2009-09-11T17:35:00.000+08:00

Its what we need! Its the element of joy, pain, laughter all in it. For it also reminds someone that he or she is going to face a major examination soon! *scratching head*

And true enough, today marks the 20th day of Ramadhan, syukran, marha-marha to all muslims who have persevered thus far, 9 days of fasting remaining, and insya allah we shall meet Syawal!

Oh, also thought of something which is kinda true. In Accounting, we learn this concept of conservatism where expenses is recognised as soon as possible and revenue recognised much later. This concept is related to one life experience, which is, peoples mistakes (expenses) is easily known, but a person's good deed (revenue) is not seen. A Paradox indeed. Okay, take care now, peace....

the more you win, you earn back less than when you begin

Love Science

2009-09-03T22:21:00.001+08:00

Thought about this, of how love is part of science, vice versa.

Physics: We learn about Magnets, of the North and South Poles right? And we realised that when we put the North And South poles together, they attract, almost instantaneously. And also the functions of the Battery, for the positive (+) end of one battery meets the end (-) of another. Opposites! And in relation to love, Opposites attract, and poof, Love is in the air.

Chemistry: Chemical Equations.(HCl+NaOH = NaCl+H20). The example given was a typical reaction between Acid and Alkali, which gives water (H20). Acid and Alkali, opposites in pH value, the colours of their litmus test, Acid being Red and Alkali being blue. Amazing isn't it this tension of opposites. Opposites attract. And another example is Bonding. Through communication, people connect, begin to understand each other, then love blossoms. Human bonds become stronger, almost like covalent bonds found in diamonds, amazing.

Biology: A Little explicit this one. haha, you know i know. Testosterones (The Male) and Oestrogen (The Female). XX ad XY chromosomes.
Clear distinction between Male and Female body structures, okay thats enough. haha.

Love Science, amazingly astounding. And Science itself is gargantuan i tell you! Go learn! haha, take care people.

The Scientist is singing...

Puzzle

2009-08-28T21:58:00.000+08:00

7 Days of fasting, alhamdulillah, 22 to go, insya allah. School has been okay, somethings still unclear, like certain friendships. Anyway, academic wise, like a puzzle, for there are always missing pieces, on our part, we're scouting for the final few pieces so the picture will be clearer to us. Education in itself is a puzzle, something for one to decipher, and solve. How X&Y have been used for Algebra, representing quantities and values no one actually knows, fascinating isn't it? And puzzles form a portion of our logical thinking, being able to match shapes, sudoku, crossword, alot i tell you! Piece the puzzle together people! End of log..

SPORTING, help me to help them

The World's Fastest Man

Sing Dollar

2009-08-08T09:35:00.001+08:00

One of the greatest Singaporean based plays ever, Credits to Zahim Albakri and Selena Tan, the writers, amazing stuff. Colloquial humour could not have been more hilarious. haha! The story behind this theater masterpiece was in response to the recent financial crisis everyone has been talking about, anxiety filled the air, money was the only thing on their minds, Selena did an amazing job writing a script set in Geylang.. How Singaporeans act when they see money?? You know i know ah. Money falls from the sky, take it and run!!

Famous local actors such as Emma Wong and Pam Oei, together with Selena Tan, they form the Fantabulous Dim Sum Dollies, Cheerful bunch of actresses, who sing amazing, those high notes got me woooo. haha. Kumar!!! He was the funniest for me, hands down, i think the crowd would give him a standing ovation. Najip Ali, a comeback for him as he has not been in theater for quite awhile, he makes acting, singing, dancing so easy. haha. Hossan Leong, the sought after personality. He's way of interpreting different personas, its so real, amazing actor. Mr Lim Kay Siu, the veteran, comedic as ever. And Finally Sebastian Tan, young talent, promising prospect for the future. Notice how this post is like an award ceremony, hahaha. Congrats to the entire ensemble and music producer Elaine Chan, your melodies inspire me to compose my own. And to the cast, amazing!!!

Oh, want to thank Jeslin, Hidayah & Fatin for inviting me, and Xin Fu, thank you, appreciate it.

2009-07-27T22:28:00.000+08:00

Hey world! Welcome to another anecdote. Okay here we go. Recently, been talking to friends from primary school, via messenger and facebook. To be honest, its great! So refreshing... The element of change is at large, but there are some who still look the same, young still eh? haha. Friends from primary school are amongst the greatest friends as primary school is a time where we on the brighter note, have lots of fun. The little mishaps, being scolded by the teacher, mischevious little rascals we were, haha. We all wish we that we had all those moments on tape, so when we review years later, we'll go, HEY!! hahaha! The good old days. And talking to them now, after so many years, everyone has moved on to many walks of life. Doing well even. Once classmates, sitting side by side, and now they're in tertiary education, university, amazing. Congrats! Keep on striving. To all my primary school friends, I'm still the same Hanis you knew from Primary 1/2, 2/3, 3/6, 4/4, 5/4, 6/5. haha. Maybe just a little taller, haha. Reunion please! cheerio.

Being happy for someone is something wonderful. It'll motivate you to be better, and maybe, just maybe, you're bringing yourself closer to your the things you want the most, and you'll get it! insya allah. take care!

what you've been looking for the has been there the whole time

Back On Level Terms

2009-07-22T21:47:00.003+08:00

The art of balances. Food, your daily intake ofcourse. Remember how we were thaught since primary school to have a balance diet? "Children, follow the this health pyramid, and your body will be strong!" she says. Other balances; skills, there is this emphasis on being skillful in different professions. We should aim for a life where there should not be any lob sides, trying our very hardest to bring our lives back on level terms. Being in the education scene, bringing oneself back on level terms could be closing the gap between where we are and the top students? Or in the classroom, seeing our classmates doing well for the exam, hopefully, with believe and hardwork, we'll be amongst them, insya allah..
Lob sided can also mean giving alot of time to something in particular we love the most. Do remind ourselves that there are other things that need as much attention, and hopefully we can all do well, cheerio.

Mr Lim: Ah beng, whats your son doing now?
Ah Beng: He's in Medical School.
Mr Lim: Wow! What is he majoring in?
Ah Beng: Nope, they're studying him...

Lesson here, never assume. haha

maybe human is divine, beautiful...

Quotient

2009-07-19T21:26:00.004+08:00

Intelligence? Emotional? These two are more familiar to the common man. There are others, go and find out aite?

Intelligence Quotient

Intelligence itself means the capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc. (Dictionary.com). What i feel, IQ is being able to think out of the box, come up with the most whacky, creative ideas that is true, plausible, and ingenious. Moreover, the person who is willing to sit and figure something out when no one else could, Albert Einstein for example. Genious! In the world of Quantum Physics/Mechanics, Einstein has certainly written his name in the History Books. Nevertheless, intelligence can be used for various applications. Puzzles, human relationship, the usual BGR in particular for most of us, and challenging the status quo. Intelligence has been used to challenge Religion, and the debate is going on till the day someone said, Religion is part of "Intelligent Design" amazing

Emotional Quotient

Body Language, facial expression, feelings, you know the drill. Maybe this one is the more talked about between teenagers, as it typically refers to social life and stuff like that. Emotions are many. Hayley Williams said "My thaughts you can't decode". Indeed, haha, depicting someones mind is impossible, but how people do it is via research and study. Psychological patterns? that kind. So become a psychologist if you ever want to "decode" a person, and see what he/she feels about you, haha, chey4. up to you ah? haha...

Use the IQ and EQ, and you'll succeed!!! Amazing...

you're second to none...

Treasure Hunting

2009-07-19T18:40:00.002+08:00

Oh the agony! Its human, well, to have an objective for the day. Mine was to search for a Mathematics book. Went out alone to Tampines Popular, was not there. Followed by Simei Popular, and to no avail, not there too. Approached one of the staff for assistance, the book that i was looking for should be on retail. Found the book with the questions only, which i already have, asked her if they had the one with the worked solutions, she said she has no idea. Give me a break! A friend of mine has it, so definitely it should be on sale.. Oh well, treasure hunting today reaped nothing. But the day still went well, smiles everywhere. Week 3 of Term 3 is over, we hope each day is better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today.. a month or so to Preliminary Examinations 2. Jitters, you have come again. Was told the book i was looking for had limited stock, rare artifact indeed, need a historian... Kindness, thank you for lending me the book, feel bad as she bought it for her study, and i'm using it, wheres the sense in that? Troublemaker, i'm apart of you. Kindness, thank you again. Well, the treasure hunting is still on. And to everyone else, keep hunting, for the gold is your goal! How much? You decide. Tee-off!

it feels like this...

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

2009-07-18T19:55:00.003+08:00

A wonderful movie, readers of Harry Potter might find it a little different, to those who do not, you decide, haha. Go watch, you'll have the greatest shock of your life.... And Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) is gorgeous!!

how far would you go?

The Fallen

2009-07-14T23:03:00.002+08:00

Sometimes you have to be hit so hard then you'll realise where you stand. Listened to a lyric from James Blunt's "Wisemen". And he said "Gotta ask yourself the question, Where are you now". Where are we in our lives people? I certainly am somewhere low at the moment. Oh the humanity... The Fallen you have become...

stories....

Happy Birthday

2009-07-13T22:58:00.002+08:00

Term 3

2009-07-12T16:57:00.002+08:00

School restarts tomorrow, the week will definitely be flurried by exam results, and corrections, haha. And it spells longer lessons for some of us! What a turn on/off? Choose one! Intensity is at its maximum now, now this is really the beginning of the end of my stay in Millennia Institute, time is beginning to blur. Term 3 is going to be a hectic one, be strong people! You can do it! Cheerio

Jim Carrey "Maybe all the bad stuff will lead to something good" True indeed

you drive me head first, fearless...

Love, actually

2009-07-10T23:40:00.003+08:00

It makes the world go round, makes people smile, makes you smile, then those cheeks start to red, cool eh? haha. Happiness you feel on the inside, your heart flutters, unexplainable really, really feels sweet eh? Love is measurable people say, hmm.. I guess its all about giving.. So keep loving people!!

you don't know how lovely you are...

Elevation

2009-07-06T18:00:00.004+08:00

Somehow we question ourselves about escalators. The main idea of its creation is to aid people get to their destination faster, but somehow it is perceived differently by the masses. They treat it as a new form of comfort, going "hey, i don't have to climb the stairs, i just have to ride the escalator, save myself some energy". From this, we can safely say that technology from some instances are not used efficiently.
And there arises the problem of market failure, poor allocative efficiency specifically. Marginal Social Benefit is less then Marginal Social Cost. Cause more and more people are using the escalators from the start to the end without movement, therfore slowing down progress, slowing down someone elses time, etc.. Social cost is therefore heightened. However, if we look at it differently, theres this element of 'blessing in disguise'. As it is argued that rushing has its flaws, and may lead to unwanted outcomes. haha, what are the odds. So the moral of the story is, when theres no one on the escalator, you can take your time, but ask yourself, do you have a lot of time?, then again look at situation, if you're going to work or for an outing, you decide. But if the crowds start to build, walk faster, so society is better off, hopefully. But keep the blessing in disguise part in mind, haha, so sorry, the post a little to economics, exam coming!

Was in Boon Lay, chewing down Sardine Os, all of a sudden this old man scolds me with some chinese colloquial swear, you know i know ah, haha. Maybe he's jealous of me eating Old Chang Kee, or am i blocking his way? haha, Never knew that path was your path, sorry gramps! haha, moral of the story, do what i do, and you'll wonder why such people scold you for typically no reason, and you'll laugh! such a spectacle! Enjoy!

just make sure its what you want, thats more important...

Dreaming and Reverie

2009-07-04T09:13:00.003+08:00

Ever had those "spring a thaught" dreams when you sleep? At the point when we wake up, sit and have breakfast, and you rethink what you dream about, and we laugh to ourselves, notice how our eyes are looking up. Psychologically speaking, when we look up, we actually are looking into our minds, to find the solution somewhere amongts the millions of braincells. Okay back to dream. In reality, you kind of have this rough thing going on with this particular person, like a fight or dispute. However in your dream, they appear, and they talk to you so carefreely, as if nothing happened, haha. So the saying is true that we, always want to dream because its better than reality. On the flipside, which is reality. Weld all those holes in the container, or mend the wrong in other words, it could be your last chance to get it right.. Some people say that when we sleep, our souls leave our body and go somewhere else, maybe it got bored cause we're just lying on the bed all time, haha.
And we tend to dream of people or things that we hold close to our hearts, maybe its love, :-O haha

Reverie, being a state of daydream. Being in a subconscious state of mind. Awake and dreaming, the malay's call it "terkenang, or termenung" haha. Maybe when we gaze upon our not so satisfying grades on the exam script, so we quicky think of something else that makes us happy, just to brush off the sorrow of failure. Amazing eh the human mind? Sensory neurons travel up to brain via the spinal chord and back to the where we felt the pain, lighting speed, 1 hundreds of a second. Okay too much bio. No fear people, you can dream and reverie, its healthy, but not too much, reality is still existent, haha. Have a good Saturday...

if you gonna break down, you can break on me...

Accounting to Swensens

2009-07-03T21:19:00.005+08:00

Accounting
The paper had 42 marks allocated for theory, haha, woah, we can only hope we did them right, insya allah. Great thing about Accounts is that we get the answers at the end of the exam, so we would spend sometime self assuring of our marks, haha. If this system was for the other subjects, i guess it would be beneficial, cause some of us learn better with worked, pinned out solutions. Lets begin a peaceful demonstration to get that system up and running. Okay no funny business. And one thing about accounting, it's straight forward calculation, unlike theoratical subjects that require more thinking and analysis, but we cannot deny the theoratical part of POA, still require what most people say, HOT skills.

Today marks the end of exam week 1. Paper 2s coming up, do not slip up people! It is human to feel exhausted, so recovery is esssential.. Mum said, "Hanis, bangun, lets have dinner at Swensens" haha, cool or what!!! Cannot seem to upload pictures, maybe i'll create those album things, gonna have to learn how to do it. Well thats a rap.

c'mon baby blue, shake up your tired eyes
the world is waiting for you,
may all your dreaming fill the empty sky....

Day One

2009-07-01T10:46:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, 30th June 2009, was the first round of the prelimenary examinations. Had Economics in the morning and Mathematics, was frantically elated, how about that?

Economics
Theoratically speaking, the case studies we're straight-forward and also perplexing.
The first one being about the airplane industry, and looking at notes, its an oligopoly! To those who have written oligopoly, you are very well on your way. I guess when we do exams, there has to be the element of fear and anxiety. We wouldn't have been frantic if we had foresight, like Alice Cullen, but do note that everytime we look into the future, it changes, okay back to Economics. The question revolved around the oligopoly framework, how do these firms compete in the market, so if you wrote down collusive and non-collusively or the kinked demand curve theory, you should do fine. The only problem with case study is we have to make references to the extracts, which should be the case, if you done this too, the A/B grades would be signed, sealed and deliverd to you. Was talking to Fyra yesterday, she brought up the question on open skies, haha! The question had something to do with the SIA being allowed to travel to any destination, similar for the US, and they asked to discuss, so i guess there are always positives and negatives to it. The good being increase in TR for airliners, as it has become price inelastic, or business where Investment expenditure rises, AD goes up, thus economic growth. Okay this is question 1, question is 2 is about Singapores real GDP growth, Singaporeans should know this, so wouldn't say it here. Good luck for Paper 2 people!!!

Mathematics
I can say little about this one because, its tough!!!! Having Economics in the Morning and Mathematics in the Afternoon? Switching from market structure to Differential equations and Complex numbers? so for myself, the paper was a blowout for me. I can say little about the paper because, i could not answer the paper =S, oh well, life goes on. Having Accounts P1 on Thursday, good luck again and to all other streams, the science and arts! Take care

found me a little getaway....

King Of Pop

The world has just lost a great icon, wonderful dancer, talented singer, amazing humanitarian, and a awesome performer. Like what his brother, Jermaine Jackson said,
May Allah bless his soul, Rest in peace...
