Valorous Halcyon

Hey, bloggers!!! It has been a week since the very last time i written my last post, and i'm sorry for neglected everyone, dearest blog, and the long hiatus. Since i am being demanded/ordered by starlover and baby tiger, i have to update this blog. Actually, i have encountered lots of events throughout this whole week, but yet i don't have the mood to write them down, albeit i do really wish to. I don't know what had happened to me, maybe i have being too busy for these few days, trying my best to finish essays, resume and scholarships' applications. On the past 22 March, I found out that PNB Overseas Scholarships is actually opened to non-Bumiputra starting from this year onward due to the result of 1Malaysia policy. Before this, I printed out the application form but didn't fill it as from my friends' mouth, i knew it was only opened to Bumiputra. Hence, i was not really rush to applying it, but since my mom kept on pestering me to fill up the form, i have t...

Oh, almost forget about one problem that i faced during JPA scholarship application a week ago. If i'm not mistaken, on last Friday, when i filled in JPA scholarship application form by online, I found out that the third column at the Sports activities/achievements kept on appearing as "TIADA". But in fact, i have chose "Lain-lain" as my choice. So, i had to amend it back into "Lain-lain" but it was futile. After altered it for three times, I was blocked by the JPA's technical system and i can't update anything by that time. I felt terrifying by that time and don't know what to do. Luckily, on last Saturday, my fifth aunt from Kuala Kangsar came to my house as she had something to do with the Ministry of Education in Putrajaya. She is a principal in one of the primary schools in Kuala Kangsar for your information. So, i may go along with my mom and aunt as well to JPA office in Putrajaya. So, on this past Monday, my mom took a leave and b...

Well, just wanna share with you all, the things that i have encountered when i was applying for JPA scholarship for the very first time in my life. As usual, i filled in the JPA scholarship application form that i found from Esila website. Just as i have filled in most of the info needed in the form, suddenly my main problems unearthed. Which course should i choose??? When i browse through the list of minimum requirement for every course in JPA/Mara, abruptly my eyes caught on my dream course, Actuarial Science. Everything seemed normal, but when i seen the sponsor for this course was only Mara, my heart started to be fragile. I can't really believed it, and so i read the FAQ of JPA PILN 2010. When this question and answer (as below) appeared in front of my eyes, my hopes totally broken into pieces. =( 22. Kenapa bidang Sains Aktuari tidak ditawarkan di bawah PILN 2010? Bidang Sains Aktuari tidak lagi ditawarkan untuk ke luar negara kerana bidang tersebut tidak lagi tergolong da...

Wow, can't believe i have neglected my lovely blog for such a long time, even though everyday facing the computer. For now, i guess i'm facing some complications for scholarships application, which are the Shell Scholarship, Sime Darby Scholarship and Security Commission (SC) Scholarship. Ironically, three of them start with the letter "S". Funny, isn't it? Haha... okay, i better stop laughing before someone say i'm a weirdo. Well, what're the problems? After leaving high school for over 4 months, my writing skills seriously deteriorate days by days, and yet the Sime Darby Scholarship and SC Scholarship need the applicants to write essays. Wonderful. For the Sime Darby Scholarship, the closing date for it still one week away. No worries, but for the SC scholarship, it's just 4 days left from the closing date. The worst part is that applicants need to write the essay by handwritten. Gosh, that means i can't use my laptop to write it, which practical...

Yeah, that's the most frequent thing i did for these few days; Hunting for scholarships, filling in and summiting the application forms, photocopying all the certificates and important documents, and praying hard for being called up in the interview. For now, i have applied quite a numbers of scholarships, just set up for the back up plans. I have successfully applied for JPA [Science(Maths)], BNM(Actuarial Science and Maths), Khazanah(Actuarial science, Maths, and Statistics), Telekom scholarship(Accounting), Yayasan Tenaga National(Accounting), UEM Group Scholarship(Finance) and Asean Scholarship. At this moment, i have filled in application for Petronas Scholarship(Economics, Finance and Accounting) but then i haven't pay for the numbers yet. I think tomorrow my mom will help me to pay 20 bucks for that application, no worries. And i'm still filling Shell, Sime Darby, Security Comission and three of them are indeed quite complicated and troublesome at the mean time. Stil...

*Mr.Raymond Lai, Immediate Past President of Actuarial Society of Malaysia(ASM)*  Wow, till now I couldn't believe that I have this precious opportunity to attend a talk in Inti College, Subang Jaya yesterday, and the title was "Actuarial Science: Unemployment? Oversupply? by Mr Raymond Lai, immediate past president of the Actuarial Society of Malaysia, Appointed Actuary by Bank Negara, and also Fellow of Societies of Actuary(FSA), US. What a long title, and I really really appreciate the talk by Mr Raymond Lai. I never thought that I would have this chance on meeting Mr Raymond, but after persuaded my mom of transporting me there for a few days, fortunately my mom gave me the green light and brought me to Inti College Subang Jaya in that afternoon. The talk started at 1.30pm and ended at 2.30pm, and the one hour time was really a unforgettable experience for me. For Mr Raymond Lai's path to be an actuary, he gained his Bachelor in Science (Mathematics) and self-stud...

Hey, finally i got back my mood to update this blog after days of neglecting it. Thanks to nodame, cause she gave me the mood to update this blog. I really sorry for the hiatus, the days that i didn't update the blog seemed like years, and my hand got itchy as time passed. I can't really leaves my blog, i guess. As the hot cakes now, everyone are talking about their SPM'09 results and at the mean time, hunting for various scholarships and hope to be called up for interview. Personally, i believes most of my friends have already know about my result. For those who still don't know, I have achieved 6A+ (Maths, Add Maths, Physics, Principles of Account, History and Moral) and 4A (BM, BI, Chemistry and Biology). Albeit the result i have achieved was slightly out of my anticipation, but yet i still feel really happy and satisfied with it. It's still string of As by the way. In fact, it was considered as 10A1 according to the previous grading system. I really wished to th...

It's time for us, to pray hard, to calm our soul and mind, to hope for the best and prepare for the worst; No matter what'd be the outcome on the result slip tomorrow, be well-prepared always and never regret nor give up on anything we do. As Syazwan Zainal(my third batch senior) said once to me, "acceptance is the best policy", and i think it's indeed very true. Hope that every SPM'09 leaver'd get their result as what they have anticipated. Good luck everyone!!! =)

Well, as usual, today's lesson is yet one of the most exciting and exhilarating car driving experiences for me, and each time drew me closer to my form of perfection in my driving skill. Well, frankly speaking, my car engines still stopped at several occasions and maybe i was just too tired. Last night, i just slumbered for 4 hours and seriously, i encountered hard sleeps for these few nights, kept on thinking about everything. Everything. Result, car driving lesson, etc. Albeit i have closed my laptop and head to bed at 12.30am, yet i just can't stop thinking, even i have tried my best to close my eyes. Hope that this'd not be exacerbated into insomnia. Luckily, at 2am, i successfully drifted into the dreamland.At 6am sharp, my mom woke me up and i dashed down the stairs to prepare myself. At 6.15am, everything was done and i was ready to out. At the driving lesson, almost everything was perfect for me, and i meant everything. Uphill, 3-point turn, parking and "on t...

Yeah, as the title above, tomorrow i'd be attending my third car driving lesson as early as 6.30am, and i supposed that this lesson'd be extending until 10am, just like last Thursday. Undeniably, it'd be my last car driving lesson before i faces the most frightening judgement day in my whole 17-year-old of life; a day that'd leave either a sweet memories or a scar in my fragile, brittle heart, on this coming Thursday. Despite having a hard sleep for these few days, there is nothing much i can do for now and the fact'd be remained as a fact. The only thing that i can do for now to calm me down is just praying hard for my anticipation to be fulfilled. But, no matter what'd be appeared on the result slip this Thursday, i just have to be open-minded and accept everything. Anyways, just hoping that i'd be enjoying my third car driving lesson tomorrow. =) p/s: Tonight is rather silent without her, for the first day. =(

In a lifetime, i believed most of the people have had promised with anyone just about everything, but how often or regularly do they actually fulfill their promises? It'd be remained as a question for all of the readers back then. Yesterday, i myself have a few special words in a conversation with her, which later on turned out as a promise for me. She'd be leaving today, besides her packed schedule today and her leaving bus in the afternoon, 2pm to be precise. She need to go back to her school in KL to receive her SPM result that'd be announced this Thursday and so, she have to leave earlier due to some transport problems. Yesterday night, in the conversation, she said that she'd online early in the morning and by that time i was normally sleeping still. Albeit i have never promise directly with her, but it was indeed a promise for me. So, as usual, i enjoyed surfing Internet yesterday, without any realization, the time did flew and it was 1.30am. So, i switched off my...

Well, nothing much i want to say, but sleep did really helped me. Sorry for being emo-ing yesterday my dear, and i just can't act like you never popped out in my life. Your existence is a very invaluable gift to me, and i hoped that you'd live happily just like usual, with me as a best friend. =)

Yesterday i have practically no idea at all on what to update on the blog, so thanks to nodame, inspiration came to me just now, to answer these questions. =) 1. Do you cry usually?     Well, i know it's kinda embarrassed, but i used to cry when i was still young, or in more precise word,  immature. Even when i was in secondary school, seriously i still cried occasionally, especially when i was being sad. 2.  When would you cry?      When i was sad or being emo about something of course. 3. Why do you cry?     What kind of question is this? I thought i have answered them. =/ 4. When was the last time you cried?     Well, last few weeks i guess. 5. Why did you cried last time?     Sadly to say, my parents scolded me tersely, and even argued with me. 6. Who would you find when you are crying?     Nodame. =) 7. When you are crying, what would you need to be with you? ...

I bet most of the SPM'09 leavers has only one thing in their respective minds now, which is the their results that'd be announced next Thursday. Of course, i'm included in that particular category where the sense of nervousness totally overwhelming me each day and it is getting worst as the day becomes nearer and nearer. I have heard many of my friends worried so much and they even dreamed of their results, and i was just wondering why i didn't dream anything yet for now. My inquiry have been answered last night, and it was totally unpredictable. I dreamed that i get 7A+s and 3As, and it was so unbelievable as i have only aimed for 3A+s and 7As hopefully. I was just so happy, in the dream of course. I even thought that it was true, until the sounds from the renovation of my neighbor's house woke me up from the sweet dream. It was 9am by that time, and i just slumbered back to search back the dream, but it was unsuccessful. Anyway, i have slept for another 3 and a ha...

Wow wow wow, today is the most fun, exhilarating and precious experiences for me in the car driving lesson. As early as 6.30am, and i haven't really got ready by that time, my house's bell rang and that signalized the arrival of my instructor in front of my house. I rushed out from the house, put on my pair of stockings and Power brand shoes,  and hopped into the driver side of the Perodua Kancil, with the eyes of my mom watching me from outside the car. As i switched into first gear, i drove smoothly and vanished from my mom's sight in seconds. As i have predicted, i drove all the way from my house in Seri Kembangan to the driving school which was located in Bangi, and i drove through highway with a speed of 60-70km/h, not bad for a beginner i think. After drove for about an hour, finally i reached the driving school and started to learn a few driving skills, which are essential for the JPJ test later on. I drove the car to the parking site, and started to learn parking....

Yeah, tomorrow would be a day for my second driving lesson and it would be a 4-hours practice. It would be started in 7am and stretched until 11am before the whole second driving lesson comes to a halt. I know that tomorrow i'd be totally exhausted as during the first time driving lesson last week, I got exhausted even it was a mere an hour practice. So, i guess i have to grab enough rest tonight, just to prevent anything bad happen in the practice tomorrow, and also to gain my concentration for learning the arts of driving. Wish me luck, my friends!!! =)

Yeah, finally Recom has been recovered from some technical problems that had been encountered for these few days, 4 days to be precise if i'm not mistaken, and i'm really really glad to see Recom functions again. Throughout this period, i really missed Recom a lot and felt that some part of my life has been gone and felt empty as i have been active in Recom for these three months, almost. However, the chat box was disabled as moderators suspected that the source of technical problems that Recom had been faced was the chat box, and i can't really understand the reasons and theories. Maybe it was the source where the spammers inject the viruses and trojans or something like that. Oh, maybe i was the spammer itself, spam too much at the chat box. LOL..XD Anyway, i'm really glad to know that a lot of Recommers actually succeed in STPM'09 with stupendous result of 4As and 5As. For Johnivan, I'm really happy for him and wish to congratulate him for scoring 5As in the ...

"Out of clutter, find simplicity."   This is one of the famous quotes from Albert Einstein's The Three Rules of Work and i have been applying it when i played the game of "Cube Field". Most of my friends found out that the game is actually very hard to play, and sometimes i myself found out that when the game was played to a certain extent, it was actually quite hard to cope with the sudden changes in speed as well as the colors. After i have set a record among my friends in Facebook for the "Cube Field", i'm actually find it hard to get back my top score and even set another top score. In the attempts of getting back my top score, i found out that i would be easily become tension due to the some distraction caused by my family members. My mom shout easily but in fact just to tell my sister and me to eat the excess rice tomorrow for lunch, and my sister distracted me and wanted me to teach her Physics Form 4 chapter 2, about the velocity time graph...

I wished to say "Happy Birthday" to all of the friends who were born on the 29th of February as well as 1st of March, although there is not 29th of February this year. I have always thought that the people who were born in 29th of February are actually way tougher and stronger than the other peers who were born in different dates, cause they only able to celebrate their birthday once per four years, and that'd be really anguishing for them to withstand the sense of envy towards their peers. Just on my own humble opinions, i guess that maybe those who were born in 29th of February can substitute their birthday on the 1st of March in order to evade the sense of jealousy and depressed. That's one of the solutions for that problem i think. So, just want to make it short, i want to wish everyone who was born on 29th of February and 1st of March, " Happy Birthday". I hope that your huge dreams'd come true, be wholesome, be happy and smile always. =)

In this very tranquil morning, as i was enjoying my nice sleep, my father woke me up abruptly in a rush mood and i just can't think anything by that time. So i just followed him to downstairs to help him as what he has requested. After gazing at my father's car out of the gate, i closed the main gate by using the remote control button from inside of the house. My father said that his remote control suddenly couldn't functioned normally and the main gate can only be closed by using the button inside the house now. So, the first day of March, in that very serene morning, fulled with the twittering and chirping of the birds, and the sound of insects from somewhere far away, i helped my father after having 3 hours of slumber. I was supposed to continue my sleep 15 minutes ago, but i just don't really know the exact reason, the temptation of the computer was just way too strong i couldn't resist it. So, i just started up my computer and enjoyed it. Just on my Facebook fo...

My beautiful life won't be exist, if my parents didn't met each other; My mind won't be sacred, if my parents didn't teach me strictly since i was small; My achievements won't be stupendous, if my parents didn't motivate me;  My safety won't be secured, if my parents didn't protect me from any kind of jeopardies; My welfare won't be fulfilled, if my parents didn't work hard to earn this family; My dreams won't be great, if my parents didn't care about me; My future won't be bright, if my parents didn't be good role models for me; Just want to say it out loud and clear here, I love my parents a lot!!!  I love you guys, mom and dad!!! =)  

Yeah, as shown the title above, tonight seemed to be really silent and I just don't really know the exact reason on it. However, i'm really happy to have my best friend to chat with me tonight and i really appreciate it. Well, hope that she'd be happy always regardless of time. :P

Yeah, today is the fifteenth day of the first month in the Chinese Lunar Calender, which symbolizes the end of Chinese New Year 2010. It is also known as Lantern Festival, not to be confused with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also sometimes named as "Lantern Festival" in location such as Malaysia and Singapore. Today, usually children would go out to the temple at night to play paper lanterns and solve riddles inside the lanterns. For me, I'm no longer considered as a child, hence i just stayed at home today and surfing Internet as usual. But one thing that truly special today is that my mom cooked the tang yuan this evening and i ate it. That's really scrumptious and i love it. Hmm yummy... and i really wished to eat it next time. =)

Hey friends, i found out this particular arcade game really exciting and worthwhile to play. It has the power to train the human minds in attempting to guide the craft through the space field without crashing into any cube, otherwise the fight would be over. It really need a lot of endurances and focuses to hit a high score. Just try it and you would totally fall in love with it if you love this kind of game. Here is the link in Facebook:   http://apps.facebook.com/mindjolt/games/cube-field  . Enjoy it!!! =P

I have been hoping to learn musical instrument since i was still in primary school yet i don't have any chance of learning it as my family is a medium income family and i strongly believes that my parents won't be able to afford any musical class for me. So, when i was in Form 1, my friend's friend offers to organize guitar lessons and finally, i have had the chance of learning my very first musical instrument- guitar. I was studied in evening classes when i was in Form 1. Every Wednesday after finishing my classes at school, my friends and I'd start to go to the church to learn guitar lessons. The fees were rather cheap, and it was just 20 bucks per month, just to afford the electric and water fees. From there, i have learnt the chords for the very first time, and i think that it was quite easy as long as practices it frequently. As learning guitar don't really have to know the musics score, I left knowing nothing on the music scores and that was really such a wast...
