My uniform is now lying in my wardrobe for more than 7 months since my last duty in March during S.H.E. concert.
As aforementioned, I want to back to St. John Ambulance Malaysia...


I miss SJAM and my dear seriously.
Sorry Mr. Wang & Yu Wey, I will return to SJAM sooner or later...
Well, I have been inactive for a long period due to my hair colour & band practice which clash with the meeting & activities.
Hmm... I think I'll have to miss the Regional Review 2011.
I promise I will come back... Anyone interested to join or going back with me? ^^
Anyway, next St. John exam will be held in April... Must work hard for that!

If you have noticed, many friends in your list has changed their Facebook profile photo to cartoon photo.
Well, this is in conjunction with the Week of the Children Rights which was widely spread by this status:


From 20 to 27 November change your profile picture on Facebook for a cartoon of a hero of your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. These days will celebrate WEEK OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILDREN! For a week we will not see a single "real" face on Facebook but it is an invasion of childhood memories! Come back to us kids!



Basically I don't really know about the origin of this status and who intitated this yet I just changed my profile photo to Patrick for fun!


Haha...

Anyway, this has reminded me of the drawings of Patrick (yes, from Spongebob Squarepants!) by my lower 6 juniors for me...

Actually this was the task for them during Orientation Week in order to get my signature... I ma such a good senior. LOL

uncontactable

Case:
Once again, I would like to inform all of you that I'm uncontactable via mobile phone. Thus, kindly don't sms or call my mobile no. if you have anything urgent!!

Why?
My phone was soaked in Kampar River on last Saturday when I was playing white water rafting at Gopeng, Perak and now it's NOT FUNCTIONING!


It happened when I was body rafting to be exact. Sounded BRILLIANT huh?

Yeah, too bad, I was so addicted to my phone and I can't help staying away from it especially in the jungle area even though I knew it will malfunction as a consequence...

My friends, family and employers have been complaining of couldn't reach me...

Solution:
Anyway, I am still contactable via Facebook, MSN and house phone!













See, I can't live without my lappy + internet connection...
Stay in touch peeps!! :)

Abstain

Gosh... My final exam resume on the day after tomorrow and yet,
what am I doing now???
Online-ing & Facebook-ing... =.=
I feel that my life is always full of temptations and most of the time I can't help refraining myself from indulging in those enticement!
The concert had over finally, and I am supposed to have full concentration my final exams.
Yet, I just can't sit down, take out my notes and study!
Instead, I go online, blogging, playing the piano, sms-ing, eating... bla bla bla...
I do all kinds of things, except revising! -.-

Dear friends and family, kindly don't call me for outing, hang out or what so over... or even sms me... during my exam period...
It will be so luring you know...
I can hardly control myself and might be end up chatting or sms-ing all the time...

Nothing much... Just a random shout out, duh...
Shall shut down my lappy, mobile phone & recluse myself to the world of books & notes tomorrow!

The opportunity cost of choosing music & online-ing is fail to retain High Distinction in my result.

Abstain, abstain, abstain!!

The melody of I could have danced all night is playing in my mind...
"...I could have danced all night! 

I could have danced all night! 

And still have begged for more. 

I could have spread my wings 

And done a thousand things I've never done before. 

I'll never know What made it so exciting;

...

It's all been grand, dear. 

...
I could have danced all night.
And still have begged for more. 
I could have spread my wings, 
And done a thousand things I've never done before. 
I'll never know What made it so exciting. 
...
I could have danced, danced, 
danced All night!"


Oh yeah, share a video of Brian playing piccolo after rehearsal which has never been exposed before... ;-)



Alright, shall back to study and revise for final exams...
Cheers!!!
