M16/MKP/Queen of Chatting

M16=MKP(Master of Kay Poh)=Queen of chatting=Jane Ting Fang Ping.
Jane Ting Fang Ping.
I met her in Lodge A level last year.
We are good friends.
I called her MKP.
Vivian called her M16.
She called herself Queen of Chatting.
She likes kueh Chap and loves talking.
She sleeps in class*hehehe*
She has very little hair compared to mine.
Therefore we recommend her to go for Yun Nam hair care. =D
Her father told her that he could finish counting her hair in a day!
She complains that she's fat but in actual fact she's slim.
She plays the piano and violin.
February 7th 2007, she left Kuching for Tuart College in Perth. =P
I guess it's God's plan for her.
Jane, make sure you make full use of your time to study and serve God.
Don't be so careless during exams, especially maths paper.
Don't lost your spectacles.
Don't talk so much. Silence makes a person wise. Hahaha...
All the best to you Jane!!!

English!!!

Just now I read Clarence's English tuition exercise book. I saw a lot of red marks scribbled all over the pages. Not only that, the teacher, Ms Chee, made them do corrections by rewriting their essays or recopy the edited essays. I also read some comments like "this is kid's stuff". Judging from the way she commented and her way of teaching, I can see that Ms Chee is really good in English and has great expectations on her students. She expects her students to use phrases, broad vocabulary and various sentence structures which is true. Who wants to read an essay filled with the same vocab or same sentence structure?
I guess if she reads my blog, she'll either faint or fall asleep. Yeah, I admit that my standard of English is not that good. I still have some problems in grammar especially when using preposition. Speaking or writing in simple is manageable for me. But to write an interesting essay with a broad usage of vocabulary is really difficult for me. No wonder I got a D for my paper 2 for A level English. Thankfully, my paper 1, which is mainly about commenting a written article*still have the guts to comment people, hahaha...*, scored a B. So overall I got a C, which is marginally acceptable. =D Have to read more books to improve my vocabulary and grammar. I also have to read the politicians comments in newspaper or blogs. Some politicians or writers really write good English. I pray that God will help me to persevere while reading books or articles. I'm really lazy when it comes to reading but with God's help, I am confident that I can do it as He gives me strength. Amen!

Morning jog

Woke up early this morning because Clarence said he wanted to jog as a lot of people said that he was getting fatter. Muahahaha..serve him right because he called me a fat pig once. Shame on you bro!!! So went to the park at BDC housing estate. Surprised to see quite a lot of people jogging at around 7 am. Didn't really jog, just walk around the park on a faster pace, like the S'poreans. No stamina to jog. =D Not bad walking in the park early in the morning. Cool, refreshing...Enjoying the fresh air and tranquility. Such great blessings from God.
I am still waiting for the offer from University of South Australia. When will the unconditional offer letter come???!!!

World Badminton Championship 2007

The 16th World Badminton Championship held in Malaysia had been really exciting and disappointing (especially for Malaysians badminton fans) at the same time for the past one week. Exciting because top seeded players were being defeated by lower ranked players, upset because Malaysia's players failed to deliver even one gold medal.
The very first upset of week was Taufik Hidayat, the Olympic Champion and two times Asian Games Champion, defeated by Anup Sidhar whom I have never heard of. Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei shockingly lost tamely to Sony Dwi Kuncoro of Indonesia. Didn't really expect that to happen as Lee showed that he was back to top form in Sudirman Cup and the Philippine's Open. Losing to Kuncoro was already a shock for all Malaysian fans. To make matter worse, he put the blame of defeat on his chief couch but later said that it' was his fault for losing. But he wasn't the only person who blame others for the defeats. Xie Xing Fang and Mohd. Tazarri also blamed the crowd for their defeats. :P No sportmanship at all. I guess it's human's bad nature. Always blame others for the negative things instead of finding the root of the problem and improve from there. Apart from that, a Danish player even provoked Rexy but later apologised. Didn't really know what happened.
There were still good players during the championship. Too many to name them. One of them was Wong Mew Choo who beat Xie XingFang in 2 straight games!!! They showed good fighting spirit and accepted their defeats without blaming others.
I still feel upset as none of the Malaysian players deliver a gold medal. Malaysia was only able to collect a bronze medal through Lee Wan Wah and Choong Tan Fook in the men's double. Don't really dare to hope that Malaysia can deliver a gold medal in next year's Olympic games at the moment. Hopefully the defeat in this World championship is a blessing in disguise to all Malaysian players and that this defeat will act as an alarm clock to warn them that they still have a lot to improve. I would love to see Malaysia getting her first gold medal in the Olympic games. =D

ICE please!!!

For the past few days, Kuching was like a big oven and I was a piece of meat roasting in it. It was a bit hazy too. Just sitting still in the living room with the fan on on its highest speed will also make you sweat. I felt lazy to do anything as I didn't want to get sweaty and sticky. Really hot weathers will also make a person more hot tempered. Besides that, you've to water the plants everyday which is quite water consuming. Therefore, really hot weather is not good!!! But I guess it only has one advantage that is you can sweat easily when exercising and lose more fats!!! Muahaha...!!! But thank God for sending rain early in the morning to cool down the hot atmosphere. Wasn't very hot today compared to previous days. Tomorrow will be the first day of the badminton world championship. I pray and hope that Malaysian players will play their best and win titles from this big event. Go Malaysian players!!!

Blessings from God

The Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Advance Level (A Level) results is released today. I was very nervous and excited this morning before I went to school to receive my result. My mom forced me to call the school office to check the exact time the results will be released. At first I refused to call but gave in when my mom nagged at me endlessly. *Moms are really naggy but they meant good. Hahaha...* So I called Madam Kathy(my A level bio teacher) around 8:55am and she told me that I could get my results already!!! *Shocked! Didn't expect it to be printed out that fast* Not knowing what my results were, I went to school with very nervous and excited emotions, not knowing what to expect even though Mdm Kathy told me over the phone that I'll be pleased with the results when I see it. Finally reached Lodge Int. Sch. Went in the office and calmly look at my results.
I saw two As and a B. As for chemistry and mathematics. B for biology.*What a coincidence. B for biology!!! Hahaha* I was so happy and thankful to God for what He has blessed me with. Even though He didn't give me straight As(what I prayed for), he still blessed with such good results. How great is our God!!! All glory, honour and praise to God alone!
Went to photocopy my results and asked the principal, Mr Alan James Roger to certify the copies. What a fun and hilarious principal Mr Roger is. He was happy with what I've achieved. He was indeed a good principal but too bad I'm no longer a student of Lodge.
"Thank you Father in heaven for all that you have blessed me. There are no words to express my gratitude. How great are you O Lord. All glory and honour be unto you!!!"

S.M.S(Scripture Memory System)

A few days ago, I SMS four friends. Only two replied. I was happy and disappointed at the same time. Happy because there are still two friends out of the four who responded to my sms ; upset because two didn't. People may think that there's no big deal on whether people reply messages or not but to me, it's important. When people send me cards, messages or emails, I feel that I must reply them because people who sent me greetings and blessings actually took time to show their care and concern for me. By sending messages, cards and emails, they showed that they treasure the friendship. How can I take those messages for granted.

As I was pondering on the matter, a thought came to my mind. I suddenly remembered that God has also SMS me many years ago. Somehow, I didn't really reply His SMS which is the Scripture Memory System. I bought the book, but I hardly read it and memorise the words of God. Shame on me! =( I complained about people who didn't reply my messages and greeting cards and yet I didn't reply God's SMS. I have neglected His messages for me and took for granted of His love for me. I'm sorry God and I'm going to memorise the Bible verses. In fact, I have started memorising the first two verses, which is a good start! Hehehe...

"Therefore, whoever is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
-2Corinthians 5:17-
"For I have been crucified with Christ, so I no longer live but Christ lives in me. This life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved and even gave Himself for me."
-Galatians 2:20-
