Of Crystals and energies

"In materials science, a crystal is a solid substance in which the atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.

The word crystal is a loan from the ancient Greek word κρύσταλλος (krustallos), which had the same meaning, but according to the ancient understanding of crystal. At root it means anything congealed by freezing, such as ice. The word once referred particularly to quartz, or "rock crystal".

Most metals encountered in everyday life are polycrystals. Crystals are often symmetrically intergrown to form crystal twins."

Source : Wikipedia

OK was a bit bored so followed my parents to AEON Seberang Prai City and also to Sunway Carnival Mall....

Was strolling down the mall when suddenly my sis drag both me and my mum into a crystal shop (The House Of Jue Bao). She wanted to buy her boyfriend a christmas present so we went inside and looked at the crystal that was being displayed there...

Me : I would love to get a pendant like that.
Mum: Why not, lets take a look. But you must use your own money.
Me : = ="
Mum : Any particular crystal for the mind, he gets migrain very often.
Me : .....
SalesGuy : either a quartz or a amethyst would do...

Then I try and try a lot of different paterns..

Mum : Too girly, next!

Took another one.

Mum : Too bulky, next.

~After 10 to 20 minutes...~

Mum: Ok this one looks nice on you... we'll have it then =p.


So this was the on that I got..
Retail Pendant price RM 268 , stainless steal necklace RM 35
This sides covering the crystal is made out of white gold... lolz

But I wanted the quartz as well, the particular shape where it is long and sharp.. =p
So went to select another one.



This one!~ ITs quartz and its a pretty common stone so the price is
Retail Pendant price RM50, Handmade string necklace RM 15
Need to buy another one as this could not fit into the stainless steal necklace...

So now I'm wearing them...
Its a good medium to store energies so... =)
When I'm in overload , I could always use this.

Back at Home~

My 2nd Semester has ended,
It was a blast I guess,
With all the performance and friends around me,
It was enjoyable but well sometimes, 
You can't just enjoy stuff the way it is.

Some people say ignorant is bliss,
Its true to a certain extend,
Cause when you know the truth,
It hurts even more,
But what if you need to know the truth,
Would you still think its bliss to be ignorant?

I'm now back at home,
Back to my usual shell,
A shell of comfort, warm and safety,
6 weeks is all I have to enjoy,
Before I go back into my study life.

So, before I end my post,
I would like to wish everyone, 
Happy Holidays and have a blast!

Its just beginning....

I used to have that feeling that something is not right,
Something, somewhere, somehow,
But somehow everything looks normal to me,
Weird isn't it?
I will be extremely emo,
My performance will drop,
Reaction time, thinking abilities and etc.

There is always a sign (Or what I choose to believe is a sign),
Before the event happens.

First time it happen,
I lost my best friend in primary school.

Second time it happen,
I end up being in the hospital for a week.

Third time it happen,
My life fell apart from me and I was left in devastation for a year.

Now its the fourth time that I have this feeling,
Something terrible is gonna happen,
And this sucks because I don't know what it is,
It would be great if I could say that 'Missing class' was one of them,
Cause I've been in the overslept mood for a week now,
Today is the fourth time.

Four.....
Its puzzling and intriguing at the same time,
Probably I just think too much,
Probably I do,
Lets just wait for it to happen...
I'll cross my fingers and wish for the best.

Of LAN subjects and Life

Well here comes the day,
Finals for our LAN subjects,
Seriously I wonder why do we even need it?
Patriotism purposes they say,
Is it realy true?
Most of us will just forget it after a while,
Like what happen to History in SPM.
And Moral,
Why do we even bother learning it in the first place?
Questions and questions...

Oh well, after today's paper,
If i manage to pass it,
I guess I won't have BM in my education anymore,
Wee~ 
Cause my BM is totally crap right now,
Can't even do a proper presentation using it,
Kept on pausing trying to figure out whats that word again,
You get that feeling as well eh?
Welcome to the gang then.

For now, I am in Kamikaze mood.

Anyway found out why Jolene has spilt appearance towards me,
To her, as a friend Im alright,
But when it come to economics apparently,
She felt inferior and timid (Can I use this word?),
She is afraid to make mistakes infront of me. (I think, just incase she reads this =p)

I just don't understand people,
Come on, we all fell inferior to other people,
As Amelia shared with us during CF (Christian Fellowship),
Its just human nature to feel that way.

We all feel inferior in certain ways,
Being with all the brilliant students,
Make me realise that no matter how good you are,
There are people better than you.

So don't boast, Be humble
But some people just hates it when your being humble,
In their eyes your the 'Just Good Luck' guy,
Is it that hard in life?
For people to accept who you are?

KYS Speechday

OK its 5 boys and a car and what did we did? We drove all the way to Malacca for our Speech Day...
Nothing to do during the weekend seriously, 
I wanted to spend some time with my friends although my parents had agree to drive me there.
Just wanna taste freedom a bit I guess...

Ok so the plan was simple
Step 1  : Borrow a car. 
Step 2 : Bring lotsa cash. 
Step 3 : Go up the stage and get that bloody award.
Step 4 : Go torture the the juniors who are having SPM
Step 5 : Go around Malacca and explore the place after all this while being trap in a jungle.
Step 6 : Chill at KL then Piang and I will return to college while the rest go and watch Arsenal vs Liverpool at some mamak stall in KL.

Simple isn't it?
If only life was that simple... 

We only did Step 1,2,3 and 4 with some detours in the way.

Well Mat Don was suppose to pick us up at 8pm, but we ended up waiting for him till 10pm.
Wasn't his fault anyway, he got lost in KL. Apparently he took the wrong turn and ended up in the middle of One Utama instead of the tol exit.

After that we went to their apartment (somewhere near Taylors), apparently either SEGI or INTEC was having their prom so we saw a lot of them on the way there. Dressed up as usual. Donnie was driving pretty slow and we sorta had a bumpy ride there were holes in the road that he didn't notice.

Had chicken rice for supper, was damn hungry anyway. Then we have to wait for Jeebo as he was still watching a movie in the cinema. Anyway, their apartment is so damn better than mine.Ok, they share it with more people, around 6 I think but still, you have your own couch and TV.

So off we went, traveling to Malacca at 1am, we eventually reached KYS at 3am and slept at Cikgu Hassan's House. Thank God for him or else we will probably end up somewhere else. Some of them plan to go to the town area and enjoy the night there.

Then the day came, it was morning and its S-P-E-E-C-H-D-A-Y.

Apparently my hair was too long so I had a 'haircut'. Just my sideburn though. Still, feeling pretty emo about it. But well, its KYS after all. We seniors have to maintain the school's image. = ="

Met some teachers, staff and some juniors afterwards. Got back my cards as well. Yeah, finnaly!~ I love the Mana short illustration!


Us being a bit wacky at the Saad Square


At Orde Kosmos


Its Snap 'N' Go, not Touch 'N' Go


The four of them lying down, waiting to be roadkill... Muahaha


Trap behind bars


Just posing around in front of our ride for the day.. Yeah its a Kancil! Freakingly small inside and the hon wasn't even working = =" . But well, we are just students so we rent the cheapest car available. Cost us RM80 per day though.


At Kys, Mr. Tan is the new academic manager. Hurray for him =D. Though he has to cut down on a lot of stuffs. Additional Mathematics class and the Campus shop as well.


Me and Deena, she's coming to KYUEM next January 


The awards recipient....

As Exams~

Today its the 6th of November and guess what! My AS papers are over!~ (At least for now, still have to take some more in June )

Slept at 1am yesterday and woke up at 4am to study,
Did my last minute revision around 8.30pm yesterday,
I wasn't in the mood to study for the past few days (Look at the post below),
So now I guess I am just gonna enjoy myself as the remaining papers are all internal papers,
Moral and General Studies,
My target will be to get 50% for each,
Passing would be sufficient for me.

I hate them anyway =)

My Topsy turvy life~

Things are just not going the way I have plan.
Everything crashes suddenly.
Dreams of going to UK,
Plans to study economics,
Completing my AS Computing project and going to KYS SpeechDay award.
Its just breaks down and fall apart.

Firstly, I can only go to UK IF I get an offer from LSE or Manchester (Warwick and Bristol is still under consideration).

Secondly, since I have 'lost' my pendrive in a way, my Computing AS project is postpone and is still incomplete.

Next, KYS SpeechDay Award, somehow MaaBa forgot that I was following him back so now I got no where to go to...
I'm just hope that this last minute thing can be done... or else I won't be going for my own award.. But as usual, its never gonna happen as it did in the pass. Its always just me there. =X
Shitty Life!~

Being troubled by all of these, I felt so troubled and when I feel that way, there is seriously no way that I can study properly. So I think my economics is gonna go down the drain. =(
I can't even stand looking at the book now, even if I force myself to do it.

DaRn Life!~ Can someone please help me to solve this? I'm a mega pessimistic right now.
It was only yesterday that I actually felt better for a while (after I had a conversation with Zhao Han. Somehow talking to her just calms me down. Perhaps I just need someone to talk to.)

So whatever that can go wrong, will go wrong. Just didn't expect it to be tumbling down , crippling me in the process. I have no mood right now.

When I'm moody , you know what happens next.

I'll be like a dead twig, doing nothing and very vulnerable.

So Adious!~ 

Just hope that I manage to solve this problems before times actually runs out!~

My Sweet Escape~

Ever been tired of the same old routine you do everyday?
Eat , Sleep, Study and repeat it to the power of infinity?
Yeah, I do.. and this weekend after a grueling statistic paper,
I went camping with some of my friends

.

Mus, Wan and Jimmi

The Natural History Club organised the trip,
Like normal, the main agenda was to go Raptor Watching but well,
We as club members, have freedom.
So on the first day, we went to the beach.




Jolene with her heart



The beach at the other end of the campsite, it took us approximately 30 minutes to walk there





Me, during sunset

The guys played 'Truth or Dare' that night. Seriously some of the most stupid questions were asked but for the sake of the game, I told the truth.. Some were pretty personal but well. =) Its just a game

.

Group photo at the beach, they got whacked by the wave after that =p



We did light trapping as well. This is the emerald butterfly that we caught

The next day was the main event itself, Raptors Watching. We went up to Scot Hill to observe the migratory birds.



The birds riding the thermal



The group that was watching the raptors...
Human predators watching Nature's predators

Next we went to the waterfall in Taiping.



Ibrahim and I



Inside the water, its damn cold but Jolene says that its very hot



The waterfall itself



I love this shot. It shows that each step we take in life, we leave a mark behind. Memories and friends are forever. To those who went with me in this trip, thanks for making my sweet escape enjoyable ! =)
