When Schools Follow Weird Quotes

"It's better to be a has been than a never was"

Hmm.... when I first saw this quote, I was frowning. "How the heck did this quote get so famous?" My first impression of the quote was like you're trying to console yourself by saying, "Hey dude, it's okay! At least you were a has been!" Turned out sis' explanation was like bombarding another person by claiming he/she was never what you accomplished. Probably GBS noted this quote when they had to think of a motto for the school. They're not practically "The Better School" and the grammar is already wrong in the motto. "How can you be better than the best?" was Hwei's reason for the bad grammar. They might be the better school last time but certainly not now. Hence, the quote! Perhaps the better quote should be,

"It's better to be a still is rather than a has been"

Now all I have to do is hope some famous dude look at my blog and popularize this quote.

Lame Stuff

Just thought about it during Sports Day.. I'm gonna borrow Hwei's name even though I don't have the copyright :) .

Me: Hwei, you're a liar.

Hwei: Har?

Me: The moment you say you are pretty, then you're lying.

Hwei: (With the -_- look) But I didn't say I'm pretty woh.

Me: Tau pun.

Warning: Never use this on your boyfriend/girlfriend. The chances of losing him/her is very high.

More reasons why we should learn English

It was during Physics class and the teacher wasn't very fluent in her English. She likes to put 'S' at places you shouldn't put and it is really obvious she needs English classes.

Example one: She told us, "If you late pass up your book, then I'll chop you leg" Wow.....chop my leg if I pass up late? Turned out she meant 'late' instead of 'leg' and she continued, "If pass up late some more, then I'll chop both you leg".. I think she wasn't joking at all eh?

Example two: She was giving us a Chinese proverb that meant something like do not look at someone's outward appearance only, because the person might be talking bad about you at the back so look at both sides. It was alright and stuff, but when she translated it to English, it was, "When you look at people, must look at people's backside". Oh my, I couldn't keep my mouth closed after that statement, literally. It became the phrase of the day for me after that, looking at people's backside! Anyway, not sure what other interesting words she gonna come up with... Physics as Psychic? Nononono, I meant sai-chick.

Happy CNY!

We've all been waiting for this- the day where it's not wrong to go out becoming a parasite to every family. It's Chinese New Year! Anyway, any resolutions for CNY? We have resolutions for the 1st new year but normally CNY we normally have targets at getting the most ang pau rather than improving ourselves and stuff but hey, CNY improves us financially right? So the 1st new year is to improve ourselves physically and mentally while the 2nd one is for financial purposes. Whoever planned it is really really good! Anyway, happy CNY to all of you out there! Be sure to share your money with me!

What is mine is not yours, but what is yours is mine.

Geez, it's been long since I updated this blog. Form 4 life isn't as easy going as most people told me. Anyway, my English teacher gave us a passage about this girl who grew up listening to her mom's advise. I personally felt the passage was good, and then very good when the mom gave another advise, 'Let go, and let God'. To me, it was like 'wow, that's so true!' We as christians really have a God who guides us and bears our trouble if we let Him. My friend who was sitting beside me could not understand the meaning of the advise because his relationship with his God isn't anywhere near our relationship with the God who sent His son to die on the cross for us! I explained to him the meaning and he went, "got like this wan meh?" How blessed we are to have a God who listens to us and have a Father-Son relationship rather than a God-Human relationship and yet sometimes we abuse this privilege. Nevertheless, He's still there to help guide us when we're weary and keeps us going throughout the day! Other people do not share the same privilege with us where God carries them up when they fall or takes away their pain so always proud to have a great God. So every time you feel down or depressed, keep your head up, Let go and Let God.

Finding a Pemimpin.....or an ex.

This week during Siviks, teacher wanted us to form a group or solo to do a folio about a pemimpin. For those who don't know what Siviks is, the government thought that the generation these days got no manners and learning moral wasn't enough to be morally upright so they decided to burden the poor students with Siviks. It's something like Moral but then I personally feel it's more difficult because you have to memorize all the Sultans from around the states and stuff. Don't ask me how by memorizing the Sultans' names can we be morally upright. Anyway, back to the topic. The teacher asked us to do a folio about any leader in Malaysia. The normal reaction to the question would be of course doing on the Independance Dad, Tunku Abdul Rahman,


or Tun Abdul Razak the Builder,


or the Unity Dad Tun Hussein Onn,


or last but not least, the Modern Dad Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad.


Let's not talk about Badawi yet since he's a kinda like a new guy and stuff. Continuing the subject, these four greats are whom people look up to and majority of the students would do a folio based on one of these four. But my new group kinda took a new turn, a very new one indeed. Instead of doing on these four, let us leave them alone for once and focus on our ex Health Minister, Chua Soi Lek! Well, he's the new talk on everyone's lips these days due to the 'scandalism' he did. I don't think the students or teacher thought of this and we would surely be given marks on creativity for sure! For those who don't know who Chua Soi Lek is, he was a former health minister of Malaysia as well as MCA vice- president. Go google to find out more information on him. Anyway, I think it's easy to find many infomations bout him, from newspaper cuttings to the Internet, it seems as though Malaysia = Chua Soi lek! I've already confirmed with the teacher as well, ANY pemimpin, whether he has done right or wrong to the country. Hehehe...this should be fun.

Hehehehe

Sedih aku

I'm sad, disappointed and discouraged. Today is Sunday and we're suppose to have a football ministry. Only me, my sis and aunty Yu Ming turned up for the football thing that was held in Taman Sayang Selasih. It was kinda last minute since I only confirmed it with AYM this morning, but then I was sure most of the youths who had nothing to do or could make it knew about this football ministry today. Don't wanna mention who, let's just take this as a pep talk or something. Don't worry, I won't cry either... not like you could hear me anyway. Continuing, one of the excuses were acceptable... actually there were no excuses at all. I was just brushed aside or given the look that says, "Don't bother me". The acting thing where I'm ignored is somehow starting to seem real already... bahh. Anyway, today's football thingy was still as fun, although it would be more fun if there were more people joining us... our own people. I know only a small group of the youth knows how to play football but then think about Tse Hwei, AYM, Mr and Mrs Chua. You think they know how to play football? It wasn't so much about the game that mattered, but rather the people who were there with us. When only 5 church members turn up for a football ministry, knowing that others more were able to come, would be very disappointing and saddening. At least knowing three or four of the members couldn't make it because they REALLY had SOMETHING to do or were really busy was comforting a little. Heh... among all the times when I went for the ministry, I could clearly say the best time was when Geng Yi, Yen Mei, Yik How, El Sen, me and Hwei were there...excluding the adults. Why? Do you think all of them play very very well? Geng Yi doesn't play like a superstar, Yen Mei doesn't know how to play that well, Yik How plays basketball, El Sen isn't Peter Crouch , Hwei just watches from a distance and cheers for us, and I'm not even close to being a good footballer as well. It was rather the people that was present that day that made it enjoyable.... just like I've mentioned before. Quite a big difference from today's football eh? Just another food for thought for the week: We talked about helping in Children's work today. Are we really committed in doing it since even a football ministry is too tiring to come and help out? Is sitting at home helping the Children's Hour grow? You might say it's none of your concern since I didn't hear a firm "yes" by everyone but then the CH is as important as our youth! The CH is growing, but are we gonna just be contented and leave it there? Anyway, I'm done for today. Thinking of this makes me so frustrated so I'll just leave it in my blog rather than blotting it out in front of everyone. For the record, I AM sad, disappointed and discouraged.
