Memorable moment

'Don't help him, or i will bend your toolbox using the bending machine!' Shouted Instructor O from the door step. 'Last warning! Get out of here or I will kick your ass our of here!'




I quickly get my things, and i dissappeared in no time. I have to make a choice. My toolbox is going to finish already, I wouldn't want my effort to go into drain and i wouldn't want to trouble him as well because the Instructor O is not going to like it. Sorry J, that I couldn't help you.




That happens last week, when we are being pushed to finish all our projects in order for us to have time to do revision. haizz......




Sometimes, there are too much conflicts let it be interpersonal or intrapersonal. We are always faced with situation where our WANT and our NEED are against each other and we must make our choice. One will hurt others, the other will hurt we ourselves. Sometimes, choices might even hurt both us and our friends. Choices might seem small sometimes, but there are times when choices will jeopardize our lifes, as well as others.





A small matter:
go..........




Friends are happy!


OR


go.......................




You are tired!
Make your choice!

Stress

I have never felt so stressed before this. This time around, i got stressed up until i experienced insomnia and even dream-talking, dream-shouting! haha, poor my dormmates who always complains about me and the other fellas always wake them up from sleep.. Opss...

The first exam in Transmile is finally over today! and I am really glad to say that I PASSED! I PASSED! I PASSED! I PASSED! I PASSED! The questions set were really confusing. Some seem to be easy especially the electrical part. Thanks to Mr Ridhwan haha. =P Thank god that i didn't waste my midnightnight oil. Haha, i kept on burning them especially these few days. I always study until 3-4am and the next day rush down to complete my toolbox project...

Sad to say, some of my buddy gotta resit the exam next friday. I couldn't imagine if I'm to study again like what I have did. I couldn;t imagine how much effort to be put in for my real EASA examination to get my license. The passing mark? 75%! I still remember last time when I was in TARC, 74% has already granted me an A! .............................................. Hope that i didn;t gone crazy after 5 years....



Some time from now, at least one month i think, i will be free from stress. No exam, no study, just some exposure to safety and company procedures....... Yes, gotta enjoy my first month in Subang! Goodbye WIT, goodbye Klang!

22nd of September

A date which is mentioned in the M2M's Pretty Boy.

I still recall when i was asked to find the date in that song..... Sometimes, I dont know why women are like that; they don't like to tell straight away to you what you want to know. Maybe that's women's specialty? That captures much of an attention? I am not really sure about that.

Go back to the story. I didn't actually go through all the hardwork to go and find a song which is not within my finger tips. I like shortcuts, have I told you that? haha. Anyway, I would like to reserve the shortcut i use for myself......

... a spit of my heart..... it came so naturally because of today........

It's lost
yet it's here,
It was a blast
but it disappeared.......
I locked myself
in a cage
set by myself........
I don't dare
to get the key.......
How I wish I could fly! But I can't afford to lose!
Sad,
regret,
that i have said no instead of yes!
Reminiscences stays
forever.
If only time could be reversed.
If only I didn't give up.
If only ...................................

101

101, a lucky but embarrassing number.



For the very first time I passed my ABRSM piano exam with this kind of marks (=P although it's only my second time taking piano exam). The grade 6 cert actually came quite easy to me. Practising only during weekends, cannot expect much.
Breakdown of marks:
piece A:2 - Gigue. 23
piece B:1 - Prelude in C sharp minor. 20
piece C:1 - Four Calling Birds. 21
scales: 12
sight reading: 13
oral: 12
Total: 101

The borderline, just one mark above the passing mark. I think it's the simpathy of the examiner that passed me. I'm grateful yet I'm sad. Grateful because finally i can call myself a grade 6 piano player(advanced player). Sad because my target was achieving merit, which is 19 marks more than what i have right now.


Still I am happy. For I'm so lucky. For I'm blessed. For I have a new qualification. For I have not wasted my examination fee. For I didn't pay the expensive piano fee for nothing.




My target for piano: Achieve grade 8 with merit next november!
This is my new exam board:





P/s: I'll try to upload some of my playing here if I'm satisfied with them! Keep your fingers crossed! I'll keep my fingers crossed as well!

Hardworks pay?

'The harder u work, the more u get.'

I wonder how true is that statement. Anyway, i still very much believe that it's true. But for some people, it doesn't seem to be having a slightest impact from what is quoted. What they want are: things get done, marks being awarded and didn't get scolded. The fools, especially in group works, are people like me........ =( or =). I don't know which one to feel. Which to choose?

I despise people who leech. I hate people who slack purposedly. I dislike irresponsible people.

I appreciate people who work. I teasure people who put in efforts. I like teamwork. I admire sacrifaction.


Actually, I feel happy to be able to be one of the fool in a group. At least i felt important, useful, resourceful. I am able to learn from mistakes. I am able to sharpen my skills. I am able to build up my confidence after so many failures of projects since I enrolled in this programme.

My next target: To get 85% for my upcoming exam. The passing marks? 80%!


For me: HARDWORKS DO PAY!

The Aviation Standard

2 months of mine are wasted in the bloody WIT or maybe I should call it as HONEYMOON as anyone else call it. It was really disheartening to get to hear this from out Transmile instructor>>>>>>>>>

Lunch(on a certain day),
me: sir, will this be counted into our final exam marks?
instructor A: *looking at the best piece in our collection, taking it in his hand* Do you think i will accept all this?
*heart breaks*relieved in a way because my projects suck big time*

Random hour and days,
instructor L: I am degrading myself if I were to grade these kind of projects presented to me!
*silence*

earlier days:
instructor K: from next week onwards, I am sending my instructor to monitor you all, and pull you all back to the Aviation standard!

Since the week after, our life become more contented? or I should say tougher? or should I say they demand more from us? SImply, we all work a lot harder! Redoing a piece has became very very common to me as I always over-file and that kind of things. 5 times? 6 times? I have been skipping my breaks for so many times. Sometimes, I even skip my lunch. However, I think that will be good because it trains me to become more skillful, patient and observant. The tolerance given is 0.1mm! I'm having hard time with it. Have to do it anyhow. I must tell myself i can make it!

MY TARGET: ACHIEVE and WORK BEYOND AVIATION STANDARD.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

I have never been exposed to Andrew Lloyd Webber. Today, I have been asked by my teacher to play his songs. The songs, at the first time i heard them has already captured my heart away. They are really fascinating. Memory, The music of the Night and The Phantom of The Opera are so beautiful! I might have heard some of them, but one thing for sure is that i have never knew that this fella, has wrote them all. Salute to him.

I vow to myself to play his songs as nicely as they should be!

Son

I'm very sleepy at this moment. I wanted to go to bed right away, but somehow something drew me here. I don't know what, perhaps that's the energy being talked in my friendster's horoscope today? Haha...

What will you feel if you are told, suddenly that you have a son? Happy? Devastated?

I have just watched the TVB drama series named 'Father and Son' around an hour ago, it has just reached 6th episode. The father is facing dillema and he is in quandary with a sudden appear of his 8-year-old son. Thi is shown on the Astro On Demand, but hehe, I didnt spend money in the AOD, still sticking with my conventional way.=P

Talking about the first 6 epiodes, I do really feel that the drama series reflect the situation around us. How a family upbring a child, the hardship of a family to support a child etc etc. The importance of paternal love is also given much emphasis. I am wondering if i have got time to finish the series. It's not important because i think that I am blessed with adequate family attention. Haha.

Again, it's 3am like yesterday. I really have to sleep or else i am going to suffer.

Merdeka!

This year's merdeka celebration was grand! Really grand. It managed to draw a really big crowd of people standing in the middle of Merdeka Square, in the eve of our National Day. The same thing happened to the Merdeka Stadium, in the evening of our National Day.

Some say that is patriotism. Some say that is an excuse for entertainment. Some say it's stupid to be sweaty in the crowd for nothing. Some say it's an experience that is a must for every Malaysian. Some say that is the symbolic of the unity. Some call it hyprocracy.

However, what really matters is, everyone is aware of the celebration. No matter what people say, the celebration is running and had run, succesfully. It has somewhat showed to the world that we, the malaysians, are doing great be it true or untrue. It's a platform for us to perform. What we want is of course a good outcome.

Ask yourself, do you know the true meaning of 'merdeka'? Why are we celebrating it over and over again every year? Why is this celebration being put so much an emphasis? What are the information that is being disseminated through this event? What is the vitality of unity? WHat is harmony?

Frankly, I did not see the importance of celebrating this event. Historically wise? Economically wise? Politically wise? Socially wise? I don't know. Anyway, for the whole of the 31st August 2007, what i knew was that i spent my whole day in MidValley Shopping Mall, enjoying the Merdeka holiday, grabbing the Merdeka sale although I'm a bit of upset because of the unusual huge crowd of people. Maybe I am not oberservant enough to notice it, or maybe I was born too far behind of 1957. You may say I take things for granted, heck, you are correct and I strongly believe it happens not only to me, and also to the few hundred thousands of the members of younger generation like me. Many celebrate it just for the sake of it. Nothing more and nothing less.

It's hard to instill the values of 'merdeka' in us but it has to be said that, most of us and in fact, all of us are patriotic. We love this nation. We love her for her peace. We love her for the freedom from disasters and catastrophes. We love the stability of politics. We love the pace of living. We love the cost of living. Most importantly, we love our home. This is the merryland where our home is in. This is where we would call home country. This is the place where I find myself most familiar with. This is where I feel at home. This is my nation. I love my home, hence, I love my nation! So, happy merdeka!
