Happy Birthday Malaysia!!!
you are officially 50 this year!!!
lets all wave the Jalur Gemilang together..proudly!!! =)

just like our politicians

or like Malaysians who gathered at Dataran Merdeka

to show your patriotism too..

like this lady here

like this little boy and his father

by Esprit de Corps of SMJK Katholik, PJ

vegetables : long beans and carrots

the last time i cooked vegetables..
the garlic was burnt..@.@
but this time it's lovely..
my dad said it's nice and my bros took extra helpings..
that made me really happy..=)

kampung fish

it took me ages to figure out whether it's cooked..
but dad said that as long as the eyes are white it's ready..
i hate frying fish..
cos a lot of oil is needed plus it must be really hot!!
it turned out ok but a lot was stucked onto the wok..*paiseh*

luckily my mum cooked the other dish before leaving..
or else i may resort to cook eggs for dinner..lol

i am happy with what i have accomplished..
at least i can cook something edible..hehe
although they are not as good as my mum's/dad's/aunts'/uncles'/cousins'

i have this cousin- 13yrs of age who cooks dinner EVERYDAY..
she so good that my mum compares me to her..
i have learnt quite a few stuff from her though..XD

learning is a life long process, so i shall learn bit by bit..
practice makes perfect, but i will only cook
when i am free or i really have to!!

my family and i left for Sepang International Circuit
at around 9am this morning
cos MMER2007 was to start at 11am..

as i mentioned in the last post..
G1 JPM Motorsport is involved in this 12hrs endurance race..

the tickets and carpass

hundreds of potential cars have to enter the qualifying round..
these cars are from 4 categories.. class O, A, B and C
which both the JPM cars qualified for class O and A..
each car has 3 drivers and drivers take turns to race every 1.5hrs..

at the pit-stop

i had to go to the race track alone armed with the camera
cos my dad and bros were not wearing long pants..
so they could only be in the pit-lane..swt..
after walking under the blazing heat and in black shirt
for like 15mins, i finally met with ze wei and cecilia and his dad..
she's a very nice gal from kajang..=)
i spent some time with them but tried not to be the light bulb..hehe

with drivers of car no.19 nissan skyline, L-R: TP Chin, me, JP Chin, Jeff Wong

with drivers of car no.17 porsche, L-R: Firhat, Eric Yeo, TJ Chin, me

the crew of team G1 JPM Motorsport

ze wei and cecilia

the lotus car which i find very cute

another lotus car

some other car which also participated in JPM Integra Cup

sepang race track flooded with people..

the national service trainees were there too!!

when i left sepang at around 3pm,
both car no.17 and no.19 were in the pit-stop
being repaired due to technical problems..
they were like 2hrs behind.. and drivers seemed frustrated..
we will return to sepang after dinner..
hopefully they can catch up with the rest by 11pm!!

i went to take my blood test results this morning..
thank god i am overall healthy..=)
except that i have low blood pressure and low sugar level..
so basically i have to do more exercise to strenghten my heart
who want to play badminton better ajak me ya! lol..
and eat more food..healthy ones!
according to the nutritionist i have to eat like every 3-4 hours
especially heavy breakfast cos my metabolism rate is quite high..

in the afternoon i went to Equatorial Hotel in KL
for the launching ceremony of G1 JPM Racing Team
who races for charity during the Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race!
must support our family members ma..hehe
it will be held on 25aug from noon till midnight - 12hrs continuosly..
at Sepang International Circuit..
they will donate a few thousand ringgit for every lap they finish..
hopefully it will be podium finishes again..=)

Dato' Seri Sharizat Abdul Jalil was the VIP invited to lauch it..
i got to shake hands and have a picture taken with her..
thanks to my big mouth..lol
she's a very nice lady who is also passionate about motorsport!

L-R: cousin jee, sharizat, rueben, my bros haw, shyang n i

G1 team drivers, sharizat n chairman of motorsports

we had our last lesson for moral studies today..
and it was the longest we ever had - 1.5 hours!!
all i can say is that "all's well, that ends well"..=)

it took so long because we were viewing video presentations..
interesting video presentations i meant!
they all have moral values in it..like duh..
the best video clip i ever viewed so far is the one
directed and acted by students of 0701PM7..
entitled "secrets"..
it's basically about secrets that we all keep,
deep down inside our heart..
it focuses on a few stories that interlinked with one another..

the voice that told the story was hoarse and robot-like..
we found out why at the end of the movie..
cos this guy was wearing the transformer head (how to explain ah?)
he has a secret too..his identity..it can't be revealed! lol..

"secrets" video clip has wonderful effects plus background sounds..
they have this excessive panting as one of the characters saw a ghost..
but it sounds so wrong..if you know what i meant..haha
the background music was nice too..
hopefully they'll post it on youtube..
so everyone can view it!
and maybe some director might be interested to hire them..XD

i saw the 3rd round of badminton world championship today..
malaysians were playing in 4 matches in a row..
we won 2 (women's singles & men's doubles) and lost 2 (men's singles)
i practically sat in front of the tv for 3 hours..hehe

too bad for lee chong wei, he lost to sony dwi kuncuro..
in straight sets 11-21, 9-21..
major upset..like what anup sridhar did to taufik hidayat..
sony the 9th seed beat chong wei the 2nd seed..
they ran from left to right to near the net to back of the court..
i can imagine how fatigue they were!

the ladies' singles was amazing..
yet another upset..2nd seed got trashed by 10th seed..
in straight sets..1st time in women's singles history!!
still can't believe wong mew choo beat xie xing fang 21-10, 21-8..
wahaha..good for her!!
maybe it's because the malaysian gals started wearing skirts..
(i think they look very pretty in skirts)
or maybe cos xing fang has changed to a horrible hairstyle..XD

unknown anup sridhar of india,
who has the looks,the height,the body and the skills - HOT!!
who beat defending champion taufik hidayat in round 2..
beat hafiz hashim after a rubber..
which is good news since lin dan would have to worry..haha..
if hafiz had won, i am sure lin dan would win in the quarter finals..
cos hafiz as a stroke player, can't really keep up with an attacking one..
i have no idea why i am anti-lin dan..
maybe cos he's been at the top like forever?

i love men's doubles!!
i'll scream hysterically ever so often during these matches..
expecially when it involves malaysians..XD
the speed, the smashes.. it's just awesome!!
as usual, koo kien keat-tan boon heong cruise into the quater-finals
after beating polland players..21-19, 21-18
they'll be against fu haifeng-cai yun of china..yet again..
it's unpredictable who'll win..
so cross my fingers and scream more cos it'll be exciting!!

i can't help but to notice the presence of this chubby malay guy..
he's dubbed as "no.1 fan of malaysian badminton"
he seems to be at nearly every match that involves malaysians..
according to the commentator, he's there since 1988!!
he usually wears a shirt and hat with jalur gemilang designs
and carries a kompang..
he cheers on behalf of everyone plus lead the cheerings..lol
so semangat right? very patriotic of him!!

ok..i babbled too much..so i shall stop here..
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!

mr karamjeet shall be refered as mr k frm now..
cos every time i write his full name, i wanna punch him!!
to date, i don't get what mr k's problem is..
i seriously think he should consider going to rehab for psycos..=P

our class has been divided into groups of 3 for presentation..
they are meant for revision of AS syllabus..
each group is supposesd to present for 2 chapters..
we were to think like examiners and teach like teachers..
that's perfectly alright to me..

4 groups have already presented on:
quadratics, functions, coordinate geometry and circular measure.
these are easy topics aren't they?

here goes my whining..

after EVERY presentation, whether it was
interesting/boring/easy to understand..
HE HAD TO COMPLAIN!!
if the your presentation was clear,
he'll somehow find fault in your powerpoint slides
or the extra exercises you distributed
or because you did not prepare extra exercises..
he'll ask you questions that you would not think of..
as he expects you to know EVERYTHING from that topic
and even how or where a formula was derived from..
plus definitions of the terms!

why is he so @#$%^&*
is it because he too qualified to be a maths lecturer?
and that he should be albert einstein no.2?
he thinks all his students are as perfect as he is? NOT.
maths period is stressful!
i may jump out the window anytime soon..
and if i do, put all the blame on dearest mr k..ok?

i loved it when sangeetha's group was presenting..
it was quite flawless but yet he tried finding fault..
and i remember vividly what she said to him:
"i thought you said WE are the teachers?"
"so we can present anything we want!"
mr k was speechless..haha..

jia le's group was quite intersting too..she said:
"this is AS work, so you all should know how to do!"
the whole class burst into laughter..
cos it's mr k's signature line..
wonder what his reaction would be if she added
"this is SHOCKING!!" XD

more difficult topics are coming up next..
and i am gonna bet that all the presenters will kena teruk^2
including ME.

so basically EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!!
good luck PM10~~

guess what i did in college today?
by 7.20am i reached college and went straight to class..
we had thinking skills at 8am, did 25 questions of past years'..

next was a 4 hour break from 9am to 1pm!!

200 pounds beauty

seducing mr perfect

princess hours

it was 8.10am of a typical thursday morning..
i was feeling sleepy cos i stayed up till 1.30am to revise bio..
he came in with stack of papers on his hand..
i looked at shi wen and melissa and said
"i think that's out test papers" *swallows saliva*
i was right!!

mr karamjeet read the marks as he gave back our papers..
the first student who was called had 0% out of a hundred..
then he mentioned that only 5 people in our class passed the test!
i was like OMG..
very likely that i am not one of them..
the highest was like 66% followed by 64% and 60%..
next was 52% and 48%..
mine was like a freaking 36%.. @#$%^&*

i was so depressed and frustrated..
and he had to rub salt on our wound..
"this is SHOCKING!! the highest is only 66%"
"this is EMBARRASSING..it's AS work!!"
"you should all just MASS JUMP OUT OF THE WINDOW"
what the hell?
he should join us too..haha..
and i think he may cause an earthquake..no offence..=P

just the other day i told my mum that i won't flunk in maths..
and see what i get? ALAMAK!!
whatever la..
his scolding made me wanna prove that i am more capable..
i shall do better next test..wait and see.. cos i m not a junk..=D

as my bro is visiting old folks home tomorrow,
my mum and i headed to Tesco to buy biscuits for them..
while in the car, mum suggested to go the Curve first
cos she wanna buy the doughnuts from Big Apple..

we had some of them over at my aunt's place on saturday night
and the one i tried was heavenly!!
and that day she told me it costs rm5 per piece..
i was like OMG and i actually fell for that little white lie..
to date, i still can't believe i fell for that.. so not me..haha..
so we bought like a dozen doughnuts for rm17.

yummy!! *the other 2 is being digested in our tummy* hehe..

ok, so i forgave them.. maybe because they are lack of manpower..

they have only like max 30 members.. i m serious..

back to my story..

they started the event like 90mins late.. or maybe because the VIPs arrived late as usual..

i have no idea.. but they certainly gave me a so not good impression..

at the entrance, we gave them our 10 bucks ticket and wrote down our pariculars

and they drew a star on our hand which is only visible under UV light..

and we stepped into the freezing and quite empty MPH..

the door gift and the programme booklet..

so when the mc said "those from HELP make some noise!!"

only then all of them stood up and shouted..

the mc continued "and we also have TARC!!"

*silence and everyone was waiting for the response*

he then whispered "don't look at me, pretend i am not here"..haha..

we 3 were the only non-LEOs in the hall you see..

all 3 of us had chicken chop with noodles for dinner..

we chatted and enjoyed our drinks too for like an hour..XD

he also held a fork and started shaking it left and right, and the fork became bent like a flower!

last but not least there was a live band - a first timer..

it was the screaming performer i couldn't stand..i have no idea what he was singing/rapping..

and the fact that there were hot guys who dressed up well..hehe

i have to agree with xin that guys who are doing hard work, are exceptionally eye-catching! XD

and i really enjoyed spending time with both of you!! =)

i slept late last night at around 1.30pm to revise on maths..

L-R: melissa, shi wen, me.
