Back to school...

As the title implied, I went back to high school today for the speech which I mentioned in the previous post. I practically blabbed through as fast as possible and I managed to finish it before I have stage fright!! Phew,haha... However, I think I messed up that event anyway. Both parties, my secondary school and SunwayTES representatives, looked quite upset.

There was a clear contrast between my secondary school and the school in Simpang Renggam which we had visited prior to my school visit. The latter welcomed us with joy and feel proud for their students whereas my school gave me an impression like "what the hell are you doing here?" =.=|| I felt bad especially when the senior assistant was being sarcastic, stating that if you have a lot of money then you can study at Sunway. Feel like slapping him a few times!! Didn't he realise that NOT EVERYONE especially chinese can get a government scholarship? (Before they started the scholarship for all 8A+ students) Nah, I don't think they will really give everyone even after such announcement is made.

On the other hand, my form teacher actually forgotten who I am. Thank goodness anyway.:P She came in late and asking around for free goodies like a typical auntie in the market. Failing to get those free gifts, she actually called the senior assistant who was sitting beside me and ask me to pass some free bags and highlighter to her.>.<"

Before heading to Malacca, I guided Mr.Teo to Muar's Greedy Street to buy some otak-otak. That was the worse situation. I was telling them that the stalls were around the corner and....eh?! Both otak-otak stalls were not open yet and I didn't know how to respond to them.@@ Mr.Teo got out from his car and walked down the street and I was so lucky that there's one van selling otak-otak at the other end of the road. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen next. I don't think that van's otak-otak is nice anyway but at least they didn't leave empty-handed. What a day...

My speech

Below is the speech that I might present it in my high school as part of the Sunway promotion:

Good morning I bid to the principal of HSM Puan….. GPK, guest of honor Mr Teo Ee Sing, Executive Director of Sunway TES, Ms Ong, Business Development Manager of Sunway TES, teachers and fellow students. I would like to express my gratitude to HSM for giving me the opportunity to share a few words with everyone this morning.

Before I get started, allow me to introduce myself first. I am Ong Wei Zun and I graduated from HSM on 2008. Currently, I am pursuing ACCA at Sunway University. I remembered vividly the day which I received my SPM results and how happy I was for getting straight A1 for my SPM. I eagerly applied as many scholarships as possible hoping that I can could be lucky enough to get one. However, at that point of time, I didn’t really know what I want and I randomly chose a different course for every single application that I came across. To my dismay, my applications were rejected and I was forced to enter matriculation in Penang. I been through hell for almost 3 weeks’ time in matriculation before I finally convinced my parents and settled down in Sunway University.

My fellow juniors,

The point of sharing my past experience with you is to encourage you guys to set an ambition before you complete your studies in high school. Please don’t repeat the silly mistake that some my friends and I had made. Having good results in your PMR, SPM or STPM is merely a pass into the tertiary education. It doesn’t mean that you will excel in any field provided that you have the interest and passion to learn. There is no such thing as private tuition classes at university level, thus self-motivation and self-discipline play a very important role. If you don’t have interest in the subject you are studying, no one is there to force you, especially where you are staying in hostel.

Therefore, take your time to meditate and think what you really like to pursue in your tertiary education. Different professions have different route and you have to find out on your own. For example, if you wish to study ACCA, the fastest route would be taking CAT/FIA after SPM. But if you wish to pursue engineering, it will be faster to undertake their respective foundations immediately after SPM. Of course, if you haven’t decided what to do or you are immature enough, you can choose to stay in high school for another 2 years by taking STPM. Once you have decided, please hold on to it and don’t be easily influenced by your friends or relatives. It’s your future, not theirs.

Anyway, just try to enjoy your high school life to the fullest. Play any computer games you like to play such as DOTA or CS, watch any drama series you love to watch such as Glee, Gossip Girls, Vampire Diaries and Supernatural etc. But stop doing so when you enter university as you don’t have the time and pleasure to do such thing anymore. Believe me.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers of HSM who had taught me well and had built a strong foundation for me. I would not be able to stand here today if I was not taught the essential values in life that changed me to a better person. Today, I would like to dedicate the CAT World Top Scorer and World Prize Winner award to you all.

For those students who are sitting for PMR and SPM soon, all the best in your exams. Believe in yourself and eventually, you will succeed. Prove to others, especially the KL students that Muarians are capable to compete with them. Thank you~

No longer a kid, marching into the 20's

Last Thursday, I'm officially 20 years old. 10th of March 2011-- a day I'll remember as it ended with a surprise birthday party for me. Thanks to my university's friends, I'm not alone on my birthday.=)

A birthday cake made up of breads...I have admit that this is so unexpected. First time seeing such "cake" for a birthday boy.


After taking pictures in medan, my friends and I went back to college to unwrap my presents. Okay, this was the part that I had a mixed feelings. The first present I unwrap was a dog-shaped pillow and I kinda love it. Now, I have an additional member in my hostel room.^^ I was thinking that the next present could be something awesome too. However, it turned out to be a boxer. Err...=.=" I certainly not expecting such present at that time, felt a bit awkward as I opened it in front of my friends. Worse still, it was followed by a box of underwear and finally a G-string!! I was like OMG!! Why am I receiving such thing from them?>.<

I felt that all my presents somehow very 18SX if they are combined together. Many undies to wear, a T-shirt that asking girls to get laid down and a pillow to sleep. Hmm...I am wondering whether my friends conspired to produce such combination or is it a mere coincidence. Anyhow, that was my first birthday with so many presents since I was born. Appreciate them very much. I'm wondering whether a text message is sufficient to express my gratitude to my friends. You guys are AWESOME!! Love you very much!!

The funniest part was when I brought back my presents home. My parents were not surprised by those presents. In fact, my father laugh and said:"Your girls friends very naughty har, give you these kind of present." LOL...He continued by saying that the G-string looks so sexy.@.@ Hahaha, that's my father.=)

Reaching the age of 20 reminds me of Britney Spears' song--I'm not a girl,not yet a women. Haiz, no longer young anymore compared to those kids running around in the playing ground. Perhaps I should control my temper and watch my behaviour in the future. Feeling a little hot tempered lately,second phase puberty? Haha...

Bandar Tasik Selatan

Today I shall introduce everyone to our one-and-only integrated bus station--TBS BTS. This is the second time I officially stepped into this bus station, I had sufficient time to explore the new bus station today as I can't get an early bus ticket to go home. Here are some of the pictures:

A touch screen monitor to select our desired bus.




Feel a little impressed?
Yup, but that's only my first impression. When I was waiting in the departure zone, two foreign tourists looked very fed up and confronted one of the staff."How can we go up? This place sucks!!". Oops!! That's when I realised that there were no escalators to go up to the main lobby. Apparently, there are only escalators that go down to the departure zone but none of them goes upwards. The only way back to main lobby is through a lift hidden around the corner.

In addition, the departure zone is not really a departure zone. It is more like a secondary waiting area for passengers to wait for another half and hour!! I am puzzled that they actually requiring passengers to "check-in" half and hour earlier to wait for the arrival of the buses. Come on! This is not an airport for goodness sake!
Malaysia memang boleh. Boleh turun, tak boleh naik. Tunggu lama lama baru boleh.=.=
