The Lost Symbol

After my previous post, it had been quite some time I’ve blog something. Probably is because school is so dull these days that there is nothing to blog about.


Ok, I know I know. The All Hallow’s Eve event was canceled and everything and I'm supposed to post something like mockery or something of that sort. But somehow I just don’t have the heart to type that kind of thing. Let’s forget about this and look into something else.

Now my father is back from the Sudan, permanently, thank God. Yester-night, He took the whole family to Jusco at Balakong. This seems to you it’s like something you do everyday or weekend but imagine haven’t go out with your whole family for one solid year. You have to experience it yourself or you must have extraordinary imaginative mind to feel it.

Back to the main point.

So we went there do some window and real shopping. In the Popular Bookstore, something caught my eye. It’s a book called The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.

I believe that you’ve heard of the names of his ‘creations’ although you might not know the name of the author.

The book Angels & Demons, a 2000 bestselling mystery-thriller novel which later was ‘transform’ into the movie Angels & Demons and released during May 15, 2009.

The book The Da Vinci Code, a 2003 mystery-detective fiction novel which later was also ‘transform’ into the movie The Da Vinci Code and released during May 19, 2006.

The part which mystifies me is why the movie production company chooses to make the movie The Da Vinci Code 1st although the book is published 3 years later after the book Angels and Demons.

Ok don’t mind that part…

Now a bit of the books background…

Wikipedia:
“The Lost Symbol, formerly known as the
working title The Solomon Key, is a 2009 novel by American writer Dan Brown. It had a first printing of 6.5 million (5 million in North America, 1.5 million in the UK), the largest in its publisher's history. On its first day the book sold one million in hardcover and e-book versions in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada, making it the fastest selling adult novel in history.”

So I persuaded my father to buy me the book. I really have to because I REALLY CANNOT AFFORD IT MYSELF! It costs RM 80.10 and that’s still because there’s a 20% rebate!

And unsurprisingly, I finished the book already. Hmm… My best record is still 2 days just like the book Deathly Hallows.

I’m telling you, everyone is encouraged to read this book! Although it’s A BIT religious but if you read it as a book to learn and enjoy, it’ll blow your mind away. SERIOUSLY!

The story rotates around the beliefs of the Freemasons and their way of seeing the world. I can't give direct details of the story, it'll spoil the fun. After reading it, I’m like Oh My God, this book don’t worth RM80. It’s contents, words, lessons worth more than that. I now start to see the world a bit differently. The feeling is indescribable.

If you can, buy the book and read it. It worth more than it costs.

不健康的友谊

本是消失了的你,为什么你要在出现。。。
本是把你遗忘了,为什么你必须再次回来。。。
本是放弃了你, 为什么你又要给予我希望。。。
本是痛恨你心情,为什么会消失。。。
本是以冷的感情,为什么你要把它暖化。。。

我不知应有什么反应。。。
我应重新接受你还是继续把你遗忘与放弃。。。

六年前认识了你
你就如我的亲哥哥一样
照顾我,教导我。。。

三年后,毕业了,
以前的朋友各分东西,
你也不例外。。。

上了中学不到两年,
你以闯下了你的一片天空,
虽然如此,我们似乎没联络,
我们的感情也慢慢的淡去。。。

中三,还是似乎没联络,
PMR成绩分发过后,与你谈不到两句便挂了电话,
理由,你很忙。。。

中四,没联络,
直到新年过后,
才发现你以专校,
以追求你的梦想与志愿,
心情当时就如现在一样矛盾,

高兴,你可梦想成真,身为朋友的当然为你高兴。。。
伤心,你没说一声再见,难道我们的感情不只的一提吗。。。
自卑,你比我好百倍,我觉得我不配当你的朋友。。。
生气,你竟然把我给遗忘了,我到了你走后才知道。。。
羡慕,你还是把我抛在后头,从以前至现在,你永远比我快一步。。。

昨夜,9月11号2009年,

终于在Facebook 看到你还是存在的证据,
好多话要与你说,
好多是要与你分享,
你问:
“Tomorrow you free? Want to kill time…”
我毫不犹豫地答应了你。

今天,9月12号2009年,

12时30分,已到达约好的地点,
而且还早到呢, 因为想再次的见见你的样貌,
钟表显示下午1时,昨夜约好的点钟,
1分钟,5分钟,10分钟,
15 分钟以过去了,
我还是继续傻傻的等待。

我等了你好久好久,
才知道你是不会出现的。
拨打你家的电话,
你婆婆说,
你早已与你的父亲出去了。

为什么?!
为什么?!
难道我们是注定有缘无份的吗?!
好不容易把你给忘了,
你却再次出现,
给予我一个希望。。。
你却要把这希望在我面前摧毁。。。

你叫我怎么做,
一个失去多年的好友再次出现,
可是无缘见面。。。
我想哭却哭不出,
好痛苦。。。
我有好多话想和他说却无法表达,
好辛苦。。。

我忘了怎么哭,
我忘了怎么表达我的心情,
我忘了好多。。。

本以忘掉的记忆,的故事,
全都回来了。。。
我好乱!
我好烦!
我好矛盾!

我应该忘了他,放弃这段友谊?
还是继续这个不知是否有结果的等待?

放弃,
我害怕永久的痛与恢,
我还不想圆了这段友谊。。。

等待。
我害怕更疼痛与失望,
我可能盼望着一个没结果的关系。。。

有谁明白我的矛盾吗?



已等了三年,四年,
我快承不住了!

忘与弃

本是忘了,已放弃了,
现在却忘不了,放不下。。。

我应选着哪一个呢?

永久却无回应得思念。。。



长久却实际的痛苦。。。

The Happening

At last after disappearing for quite some time, I’m back to type and type and keep on typing.

Wow… So many things inside my head… I don’t even know which to type first…

Let’s start with the reason why I’ve stopped blogging for a while. As if anyone will be interested.

The reason that I stopped blogging for a while, just like I said, as if any one is interested… why am I typing this anyway? Oh yes, is to ‘pour’ some of the things in my brain before it get full. Where was I…Ah yes, the reason… is because I’ve got some, to be specific is 2, projects in my bag now. One is the All Hallow’s Eve Celebration while the other one is the Bulan Patriotisme, which to me are pretty big projects.

The All Hallow’s Eve Celebration.

I’ve made a ‘speech’ few days ago in front 1000++ of students.

Ok let’s make things clear first. I don’t even what I am talking at the moment. I just say what came into my mind. Thinking now, it’s like Oh My God! What a jerk I’ve made myself in front of these pupils. Never mind, I guess, like what They, I don’t know who They are, say: Let the past be the past.

What I think about this statement/phrase is No, we cannot let the past be the past. We DO need look back after a while or two, to leran from the past but don’t look back to often for it’ll delay our advance. There are living examples, but due to certain circumstances such as the ISA, I can’t type what I want. So if you readers ain’t that thick, you’ll know what I’m talking. And, ohh, if you waiting for the punch line, it’s over.

Ok where was I? Ah yes, the All Hallow’s Eve Celebration speech.

I won’t elaborate what I said in the speech because it’s too embarrassing to recall. But basically what I want to say is,

Come and join us during that special day!

For the Form 5s,
It’ll be the relaxation with your friends after the pressuring trial SPM.

For the Form 3s,
It’ll be your final relaxation before the final exam you’ll face, PMR.

For the Form 4s,
It’ll be a celebration worth to come. You can see in the sense that you’ll be part of the Connaught history. Or you can see it in the sense that it’ll be quite fun since you’ll be hanging out with your friends until late night. Like they say, it’s a Saturday Nite Live activity.

I won’t promote in the sense of promoting. But I do encourage every reader of mine, if I have any, to visit the official All Hallow’s Eve Celebration ‘website’, which actually it’s just a modified blog* and support this event because time is running out!

*Hey! It’s the 21st century! Even Sonny Biz has own a blog, which from what I saw is pretty ‘dead’ to me. So why can’t the All Hallows’ Eve Celebration have it’s own blog to promote and explain the questions asked?! Of course it’ll be removed, I believe, after the Celebration.

PS: The tittle of this blog has nothing to do with this post... I don't even know why I name the post with this name...

To do or not to do? That is the question...

We should fight and fight and keep on fighting!
We should prove that we are stronger than we look!
We should prove Them wrong!
We will make this happen!
We will make it!

Should I keep to my ‘Manual Book of My Life’?
To fight till we ‘die’…
Should we continue This?
It looks so far away…
Should we surrender to Them?
It looks so tempting and easy now…
Should we delay This?
They do not seem to be ready to accept it…
Should we listen to Them?
Their words seem to be so true…
Should we

Frustration

Arrggghhhh!!!
Frustration filled my head at the moment.

Why?
Why when we are about to get things finally done, this darn of an obstacle appear?
Why after so long of struggling and fighting, we still have to make such difficult choices?
Do we really need to make the final and most easy choice?

Haven’t we proved our determination?
Haven’t we proved that we want this to happen?
Haven’t we proved that we can make this happen?

Are we aiming too high?
Are we doing something which the community is sill not ready to accept?
Are we just a group of day-dreamers?

Hello~~~
Can anyone tell me? Can anyone guide us? Can anyone help us?
Can anyone…

Julius Caesar Ep. 6

Welcome to the Julius Caesar Restaurant.

I’ll be your waiter today/tonight. And your meal will be served in a few moments.

OK, first week back to school and I found out something new about Mr. Caesar and the ‘change of atmosphere’ in the school. It seems to me that most of the Form 5s and Form 2s have found out about Vile and want to find this mysterious, to some of them cowardly, testes-less, etc. etc. person. They want to, what Kumar will say, beat him, kick him, take the parang chop him and make curry.

That’s for the Appetizer

I’m very sorry to tell you that Entrée will not be served. But not to to worry, we’ll go straight to the Main Course.

Today, I tried to coax the true identity of Vile out of Mr. Caesar. Unfortunately, he refused to open his Golden Mouth. BUT, I did gain something informative from him. I asked for his confirmation whether he, Mr. Casca and Wayne is involved in this scenario. And guess what he did. He nodded his head!

I also know that the Prefects will also be going after this Vile. And IF I’m not wrong, they had a very-very-very brief meeting about this Vile.

Hmmm…

I wonder…

How would the Prefects and people react when they find out that Mr. Caesar and Mr. Casca themselves are in a league with Vile and supplied some information to him/her/they.

Ah, well, let’s see how things turn out shall we?

As a Side Dish,

Mr. Casca himself is still playing Mr. Nice Guy in saying that
http://vile-scouting.blogspot.com/ is a bad blog, etc. etc. As you can kindly read and view in http://dicewithlife.blogspot.com/2009/08/weird-bloggers.html.

Finally, the Dessert will be…

This blog had also alarmed CERTAIN teachers. I think Vile’s wish, I think, to become known around the school had just come true. I think he/she/they will be laughing in his sleep although he/she/they currently have trial SPM in his/her/their bags.

That’s all your Meal for today. Thanks for dining here and please come again…

What a day...

Ahh… first day back to school.

For the Form 5s, they will be doing their trial SPM. While for the Form 3s, they will be preparing for their PMR or once known as SRP. Is there any difference at all? Form 4s are and supposed to be no difference at all. I mean, our final year exam is set as the same date as the PMR Unfortunately, I don’t know about other classes, our class is still very far away from finishing the syllables. Dear God, I don’t know what’s going happen to us.

Well, I don’t know whether the other students got their own first-day-back-surprises, but our class got OUR own first-day-back-surprise and had to receive it in a terrible way.

Yikes!

The so-called ‘surprise’ is given by, I don’t know about others but in my opinion, the ‘best' science teacher EVER (sarcastically), Mr. Ebenezer a.k.a. Mr. Ebe by our class a.k.a. Mr. Energizer by some other classes.

The ‘surprise’ started like this.
I’ll skip the boring part and go straight to the juicy part.

When the class is almost ending, he saw 2 girls talking to each other. I shall not mention names. He claims that they have been talking from the beginning of the class. And recorded their names and the other usual discipline stuff. After that, he actually ‘asked’ them to leave the class!

OK…OK…I know they are wrong and everything but hey, after you wrote their names, case closed la…What for you ‘asked’ them to leave the class?! I don’t even know the teachers have the authority to do that! Puh-lease…I don’t know how things are run at your time or your ‘famous’ Penang Free School. But, hello~, you do realize this is the 21st century! Not your medieval times you know! Teachers now, I THINK, have no rights to send their students out of the class anymore, right?!

The surprise doesn’t end here.

After the short ‘chaos’, he then said something like, Since you are SO ‘smart’, you can study 6.10 & 6.11(that is everything about photosynthesis!) by your own. By the next class, I’ll finish off this chapter……And I can safely bet that by the end of this year, I’ll be giving out subjective questions on this sub-chapter, photosynthesis.

What the fuck! What kind of teacher and English is this!

After that, he slammed the table and shouted OI! towards a group of girls who are sitting at the hind of the Bio Lab (we later found out that when he practically yelled at them). Naturally the group of girls ignored him because NO NAMES are addressed.

Uncle! You just slammed the table and shouted OI! Whoever in the class can also be the ‘OI’ you’re describing right! Who knows you are shouting at them!

He then ‘asked’ them to come out and gave them a lecture (nicer way), scolding (casual way), yelling (bad way).

When I say he yelled, that is still me trying to be polite. He later practically yelled at one of them to GET LOST. The girl, not very good in understanding rude English herself, just nodded. He later threatens to throw the Biology book at her!

Teacher

You won’t be teaching us, fine by me! When the percentage of Biology marks drops, DON’T YOU EVEN DARE TO BLAME US! IS YOU WHO REFUSE TO TEACH US! IS YOU WHO ASK US TO READ BY OURSELVES!

For the readers who are curious why am I making such a fuss over such a small thing, this NOT his first time.

He had done this before in the past. Some of you might say let the past stay as the past. But hey, you are not the one living through this and not everyone as forgiving as you.

Can you even imagine learning from a teacher who ask called people smartass and tell you to not to embarrassed yourself when you give morning greetings to him?! That’s not even scratching the surface!

English

What kind of fucking English are you using! You say
you can safely bet that by the end of this year, YOU’ll be giving out subjective questions on this sub-chapter, photosynthesis.

What the hell! When you say you bet, means you are not sure about the results. That’s why you bet! Not because when you know the results already and you bet!

For heaven’s sake, for our sake, for your own dignity’s sake, improve your bloody English before you come out teach.

No wonder most of the teachers wanted the policy English in Science and Mathematic to be demolished.

Now, I don’t know what the decision of the class is. But I can tell you readers that, if no immediate actions are taken, we, 4S2’s namesake will be in jeopardy.

Actually, I’ll make this opinion short, I think he is going through menopause. Lolx. I mean, he went crazy before, and the craziness stopped for a short moment. After that, meaning after the holidays, the craziness come again. Imagine that, 2 menopause! Or should I say 2 menopauseS! A wonder in the Medical History... Lolx…

PS: Sorry for the improper English used because I cannot describe It in a proper way...
