haiz... (唉声叹气)又怎么啦?明天没有上课咯。上次不知几时说过自己很恨恨很恨喜欢课余时间啊,没上课啊,放假之类的。。。现在?!想法简直跟刚说的相反。放假觉得越来越无聊,可以上网又怎样?网上太多东西做了。。。多得不知要做什么!上网上到"sien"。
Facebook上次对我来说很hot的,现在都玩闷了。。。 什么restaurant city的东西都听到厌了。。。去到哪儿都会听到旁边的朋友在讲!最多上网post部落各,不然就是跟新的同班同学chat个不停。
唯!你们可千万千万别忘记咧。后天是2月2号我的生日啦。。。就当着普通日子过了算了,没什么大不了。你们不送我礼物,不向我说声“生日快乐!”也无所谓。只要你们记得这“重大”的日子,我就心满意足了。
这个时候,我只期待着未来将会发生的事情,未来在学校的表现,未来中学生活能为我带来的挑战。光阴似箭。。。很快的,这一切都会变成我们生活的历史,点点滴滴。童年会飞快地结束。。。现在说这些,也许觉得还早吧,迟点就会明白。
好了好了。。。今天到此为止。拜拜!

认识中华 ~ 隆中华校训
礼、义、廉、耻,乃所谓四维。四维不张,国乃灭亡。古人把这四维看得如此重要,本校亦要求学生能在生活实践中做到:
也是儒家亚圣孟子最为强调的修身原则。华小承继了中华文化五千年的优良传统,故它从创校之始就将儒家的思想精髓融入教育中。此外,孟子亦强调义利之辨,将义与利对立起来。真实生活中,“义”中可容“利”,而“利”中则不一定包涵“义”。因此,本校要求学生在生活实践中,时时行正,以“义”为出发点,将“利” 字暂且搁在一旁。纵观现今工商业社会,普罗大众处处求“利”,整个社会充斥着“利”字的现实风气,而我校却灌输学生求“义”之精神,这无疑是在教育界中注入一股清流,这也是本校的办学特色之一。
教导学生们须以礼待人。礼,有它存在的价值,不论古今中外,在人类的文明史上,“礼”有其存在的必要,或许它的形式与《礼记》上所示的古礼有极大差异,然其精神却是如一。一个社会,若人人有礼,则它自然是个文质彬彬的社会,戾气也会相对少了。本校不但要灌输学生“礼”的概念,更要培训他们于现实生活中去身体力行。
礼、义、廉、耻这四维,对学生而言。相信只有“礼”字尚可掌握,至于“义”、“廉”、“耻”之含义若要学生完全掌握,则比较困难。而本校则要求学生们不仅要从字面上去了解四维之意义,更重要的是要求他们在生活中去实践其精神。四维当中,我们常将“廉”与“耻”合称,廉洁是指不贪,洁身自爱;耻则指知耻,脸皮薄等意。
校训“礼、义、廉、耻”若要求青少年们真正去实践其精神实居不易,其实这四字一生都可奉为座右铭,并时时用以自我提升,自我砥砺。教师若能在教学过程中,彻底落实身教,言教之教育精神,那么在潜移默化下,无形已经为学生建立起真正的人生观了。

比尔.盖茨的11条准则
In Bill Gates' Book for high school and college graduates, there is a list of 11 things they did not learn in school. In his book, Bill Gates talks about how feel-good, politically-correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this education set them up for failure in the real world.
在比尔•盖茨写给高中毕业生和大学毕业生的书里,有一个单子上面列有11项学生没能在学校里学到的事情。比尔•盖茨在书中谈到让你感觉良好的"政治上正确"的教导培养出一整代不知现实为何物的年轻人,这种教育只能导致他们成为现实世界中的失败者。
The 11 things are:
这11项事情是:
1. Life is not fair, get used to it. 1.
生活是不公平的;要去适应它。
2. The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
2.这世界并不会在意你的自尊。这世界指望你在自我感觉良好之前先要有所成就。
3. You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
3.高中刚毕业你不会一年挣4万美元。你不会成为一个公司的副总裁,并拥有一部装有电话的汽车,直到你将此职位和汽车电话都挣到手。
4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
4.如果你认为你的老师严厉,等你有了老板再这样想。老板可是没有任期限制的。
5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
5.烙牛肉饼并不有损你的尊严。你的祖父母对烙牛肉饼可有不同的定义;他们称它为机遇。
6. If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about our mistakes, learn from them.
6.如果你陷入困境,那不是你父母的过错,所以不要尖声抱怨我们的错误,要从中吸取教训。
7. Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.
7.在你出生之前,你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单,给你洗衣服,听你大谈你是如何的酷。所以,如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的"寄生虫"来拯救雨林的话,还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。
8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
8.你的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生,但生活却仍在作出类似区分。在某些学校已经废除不及格分;只要你想找到正确答案,学校就会给你无数的机会。这和现实生活中的任何事情没有一点相似之处。
9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
9.生活不分学期。你并没有暑假可以休息,也没有几位雇主乐于帮你发现自我。自己找时间做吧。
10. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
10.电视并不是真实的生活。在现实生活中,人们实际上得离开咖啡屋去干自己的工作。
11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
11.善待乏味的人。有可能到头来你会为一个乏味的人工作。

吉隆坡中华独立中学 2009年第48届毕业典礼 校长演讲稿
[称呼][问安、谢谢]
今天是本校第48届高中暨初中毕业典礼的日子,在学校的传统里,是每一年最重大庄严的日子之一。谢谢各位的光临!
各位,2009年是一个艰巨但是令人欢畅兴奋的一年。在全年庆祝母校创校90周年之际,我们隆中华人全年迄今不曾稍停一下步伐,或稍停喘一口气。在学校里,老师们、职员和工友们、同学们,是马不停蹄:右手推行例常业务 -- 上课、学习、考试、活动、比赛。腾出左手推动每三个月一次的校庆活动。若干着、拼着劲,偶而也起了争执,偶而也气馁了,流汗、流泪。可是更多时候我们是吐气昂首的,欢愉而畅快的,脸上发光的!
2) 因为我们总也克服困难,总也在最紧要的关头,夺取了胜利的果实!
2009年,再一次印证了:隆中华人,是挑战愈艰难,力量愈强悍的!
3) 在百忙万难中,隆中华今年在各领域,再次交出一张亮丽、耀目的成绩单。
4) 在各领域、各类的学术与非学术比赛内 -- 不提州、或是县级的竞赛 -- 在全国性的竞赛中我们夺得14个团体冠军和11个个人冠军。
5) 在上个月,在中国成都举行的海外华裔中华文化比赛里,英、美、法、澳、加、日、韩多国派出队伍参加竞赛:马来西亚队荣夺团体冠军!队中三人其一,便是我们高二的傅仰辉同学!
6) 今年,董事部也让学校搭上了网上教学的列车,我们开始在初中一班级推行e-class,预计在4至5年内推行到全校所有班级,希望有效果地推广和深化网上教学与学习。
7) 今年本校42位老师也在八月间,完成了历时三年的与新纪元学院联办的教师专业课程。
8) 我们也继续推动新手教师的培训,和全校教师的在职培训。
9) 为了在拥挤的校园制造活动的空间,希望在量的基础上达致质的提升。董事部的硬体发展计划的首阶段也展开了。
10月份:多媒体课室大楼开始施工,预计6月内完成工程。 (招收新生报告)
10) 我们感谢董事部,在董事长丹斯里拿督童玉锦的高瞻远瞩的领导之下,让母校师生,高歌猛进,让母校向更灿烂更昌盛壮大的时代迈进。
11) 各位高三毕业班的同学:无可违言,你们是特别优秀,拔萃出群的一届。
12) 学术表现:你们从PMR、初中统考,乃至SPM,一路考来,过关斩将,每一次都是五年来最标青的成绩。’08年SPM你们的个人成绩,700人参考每4人就一个最少9A。
13) 那是本校有史以来最好的成绩!
14) 江山代有人才出,你们这一届是人才济济!
ü 高三理忠 : 叶进兴,全国独中数理学识比赛个人全科第一名!(全国6万名独中人数理最强者) ü 林绍杰、郑绍泉 - 三人夺得全国独中数理比赛团体冠军 ü 高三文仁:林家豪, 时事问答比赛全国冠军8联冠主将、 中华文化大赛全国个人冠军 ü 何建聪、李湘滢、曾泳邰 ü 学警的领导傅佩诗 ü 学长团的叶隆达 ü 小提琴手许荣君 ü 给大家都留下深刻印象的高三理仁的女高音 - 张嘉慧
还有许多许多,难以尽述!
15) 那么如果今天我们对应届的高三毕业生有很高的期许,超乎寻常的要求,那是不过份,并且恰当的。
16) 如果是一个普普通通的中学,在这样的场合,我会说: “同学们!毕业了,好好找一份正当的职业,规规矩矩做人,成家立业吧!”
17) 可是对你们,我要说: “心有多大,舞台就有多大!”
18) 我要说: “创造超越的人生!生命并非一个发现的过程,而是一个创造的过程。你并不是在发现你自己,而是在重新创造你自己。 所以,别急于发现你是谁,而该急于决定你想做谁! 所以,别急于发现你是谁,而该急于决定你想做谁!”
19) 同学们: “志不立,天下无可成之事。”
20) 你要立志。 眼前你可能只看到五年内的目标。就是考一个好大学,选读一个好科系,最好是一个能让你赚大钱的科系,念完了,找到一份称心的工作,之后呢?五年后呢?十年后呢?
21) 你要立志! 如果还没有,你要立下远大、10年、20年的志向。 ü 一个值得你穷一生的力气去追求的 ü 一个对你的能力考验最严厉的 ü 最能使自己把无穷的潜能,潜在能量像原子弹里的原子,爆发、释放出来 的一个理想、一个抱负、一个志向。
22) 你要立志: 个人条件与天赋因人而异,只要按着自己的条件去制定自己的目标,去立志。那么,把潜能发挥出来,达到了目标,那便是成功。 并不是要做Barack Obama才叫成功。
23) 同学们:“你要立志!” 无论是 ü 立志要在21世纪,中华民族划时代的兴起的过程扮演一个耀眼的角色:文化经济科技政治教育(心多大、舞台便多大) ü 还是立足祖国,为国为民奉献力量: 我们的国家正历临一个充满变数的大时代 ~ 是民主的成长、种族两极化的危机、经济结构不健全和后国家石油资源时代的经济、全球化的冲击,乃至教育和国民新一代的素质 - 危机也是机遇,也是有理想和壮志的英雄的时代! ü 还是在30岁之前赚取你的第一桶金(一个成功的商人、一个成功的专业人士) ü 你都要立下志向,并且今天开始,便一步、一步的向目的地长征而去。
24) 可能,你说:“我爱孩子们,我爱教书,没啥志向,就想平平凡凡当一个老师,教一辈子书,行吗?”
25) 我说:如果你能用爱心去陪伴你的学生成长,以你的人格和情操教化他们,改造他们的人生和命运,坚持30年、40年如一日 那就是志向!那就是平凡中的不平凡的志向,强过一个总统,可是一个欺民窃国的总统!
26) 同学们,在我还未结束今早讲话之前,我要请大家为我们之间的两位老师鼓掌。
27) 他俩为母校服务了整整35年,坚守岗位,在平凡中缔造不平凡。今年他俩选择荣休。
28) 让我们代表35年来承受老师恩泽,一代又一代的学生,以最热烈的掌声向林华雄老师和孙瑞香老师致敬!
谢谢。

校园环保
同学当早晨第一缕阳光悄悄洒落校园时,我们身处郁郁葱葱的树林,耳边是悦耳动听的鸟声,你心中有何感想?当灰茫茫的天空弥漫着尘土和黑烟,苍蝇蚊子的“嗡嗡声”,嘈杂的喧哗声充斥着你的耳朵,你又会怎么想?
这是个不必回答的问题,谁不想仰望蓝天,俯看绿地,大口呼吸新鲜的空气,身处幽静的环境?谁不想自己的家干净、清幽而充满温馨?而我们的校园就是我们的家,是我们三千名同学共同的家园。
绿,生命的颜色;绿,环保的颜色。有了绿色,便有了清新的空气;有了绿色,便有了沁鼻的花香;有了绿色,便有了健康的生命;有了绿色,便有了美丽的校园。我们的学校是传播文化的场所,是学生获得知识、培养正确的人生观价值观和养成良好行为习惯的场所,创建绿色校园是我们每个学生义不容辞的责任啊!
现在全国许多学校在举办“绿色校园”的活动,我们学校也不例外。每个班级的同学都把自己家的花花草草搬到学校。许多同学在校园里的各个角落捡拾果皮纸屑,用自己的双手去保护校园环境的优美。但是,我仍然发现:有人乱丢纸屑、食品袋、废弃物;有人在草坪上肆意践踏;有人在墙壁上乱涂乱画……
同学们,我们是21世纪的主人,应当切实地树立起时代的责任感,心系全球,着眼身边,立足校园:“勿以善小而不为,勿以恶小而为之”,从我做起,从小事做起,从现在做起,从爱护校园环境做起;一片纸,我们捡起;一滴水,我们节约;一堆垃圾,我们打扫;一朵花,我们珍惜;一棵草,我们爱护。我们要用自己的实际行动保护环境,培养我们的绿色意识,让绿色生命激发我们热爱生活,热爱学习。
同学们,为了校园的“绿色”,让我们行动起来,为珍惜绿色、爱护绿色、创造绿色献出自己的一份力量!

中华杯篮球班级赛
我校将在下星期举办中华杯篮球班级赛。哼!正是我发挥潜能的大好机会。。。哈哈。希望初一仁班能够腾上宝座,并且保留这个历史。
初中将会有循环赛。在我队同一组里的队伍有初一爱,初一平和初一智。。。真不幸运!被列出来的队伍都有校队的存在,恐怕这场球会打得辛苦一些。。。进入半决赛的机会也渺茫了。但!!我们决不会让这种事情发生。。。所有的初一仁学生,你们同意吗?!初一仁是文武双全的,所以我们必胜!不拿奖,至少也可以逃过循环赛。我对你们的要求瞒高的,包括我自己。下个星期四(4/2/2010)就是我们对初一平的球赛。。。大家都须在巅峰的状态,表现出体育精神。这就是初一仁!
好了好了。。。说这么多我自己也没把握可以赢。== 总而言之,大家全力以赴就对了。Limpek就此“搁笔”,拜拜。

无聊的一天
今天,我,浩正,静铃,依璇和“巨人”佩霖在音乐节过后留在音乐室。。。做什么?练琴咯。本来要叫静铃弹的,然后她说要练好来先,叫我们给她时间喔,但明天我们还会去。所以静铃你逃不了多久的啦。。。哈哈
中华独中好到~~~~~~!!可以随时使用音乐室的钢琴。哪里像小学!要用钢琴都要问过老师,跟他拿了钢琴钥匙才可以用。真的是阿。。。这么大的差别。此外,今天上课时很想睡觉咯。过了个无聊的星期二。明天又有篮球校队的集训,必须留下来练球。到此为止!

在此我想问问你们,是否有怀疑过我的华语很烂,很差啊?所以没有再我的blog里post华语文章?!现在我可要证明给你们这一些人看,我的华语还挺好的!从今,我可能会用双语post blog。
开始适应了新的学习环境,认识了新的同班同学,新的级任与各科任老师。隆中华的生活还不错的嘛!经过了去年的分班考试后,我被分到了初一(仁)班,也就是16班里的第三班。明天学校将举办2010年的新生开学典礼,以迎接2010年我们这一匹初一新生。
这个月也是学校举办的习惯养成月。。。一天做几次叫我们环保啊,记得排队啊,吃了后把碗碟放进大桶里的广播。听到烦死了!那个广播员不累的吗?! 真是的。。。

Wah... tomorrow no school, the number of people online increased compared to yesterday night. How about me?! I've to go to school six days a week. But tomorrow syok sikit. We have a school opening ceremony. "Walau...! Go to school also must celebrate...?!! =="
So the time for the boring lessons will be lessened. Very good! I love my new school... I love my new classmates... I hate NOT a bit about it. Except for the lessons... Especially the Sejarah Malay teacher. We call her Cikgu Habibah... What a funny name... Habibah. I think you are thinking what I am thinking... the -bibah read from the back... haha. No lah just joking... ^^ And pls just look carefully at the word H-A-B-I-B-A-H... Now try to put the letters from the back till the front. ...... done? haha! It's the same... So that's why I said that it's a strange name. Weird!
My PJ class teacher is a little fat. Like the former one... haha. Cikgu Soo... no lah... My Eng and Maths teacher is the youngest... the oldest one is Chinese... there's only one word to describe her... See until vomit...! == Aiyoh... too bad liao! Others medium medium punya... Oh, forgot ada one more. My Science teacher. She's from China... Most people from China have the Chinese strong accent right? But this one ok lah, can understand... Although she talks very fast.
Other than that... no more. Looking forward to tomorrow's school opening ceremony. That's all for today. Bye!

The Future
I'm closer to the future
Than I was yesterday.
The highway of the future
Is in each break of day.
I frame my future
By the decisions I make.
I encounter the future
If diligent steps I take.
Plans for the future
I made in the past.
Today I face the future
Yet it won't last.
Depending on the future
Is so inefficient.
Because the so-called future
Is vague and transcient!
'you'll live well in the future
if the present is well lived! ! '

Happy Chinese New Year ~ Year Of The TIGER
For this year... Don't buy Carlsberg, or Guinness or whatever... It's the tiger year! TIGER year, TIGER beer!! Hey...! I help you advertise your beer leh... Where's my 'gaji' ?!
Gung Hay Fat Choy!
The Lunar New Year dates from 2600 BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
Because of cyclical lunar dating, the first day of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. On the Chinese calendar, 2010 is Lunar Year 4708.
On the Western calendar, the start of the New Year falls on Sunday, February 14, 2010 — The Year of the Tiger. This year, the date has special significance since it also happens to fall on Valentine's Day making it a doubly auspicious day to celebrate in the West.
Happy New Year Chinese zodiac 2010 Chinese horoscope New Year FoodsNew Year Recipes. If you were born in 914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 or 2010 - you were born under the sign of the tiger. Like the tiger, you are one of the most caring and thoughtful signs in the Chinese zodiac. You have a lot to say on the best way to right society's wrongs, and quite capable of defending children, friends, and loved ones against all enemies.
For the tiger in 2010, any recent setbacks or obstacles can be overcome, so look forward to a year in which to really shine, either personally or professionally.
Famous people born under the sign of the Tiger? They include Emily Bronte, Sheryl Crow, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Dickinson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jay Leno, Karl Marx, Marilyn Monroe, Marco Polo, Beatrix Potter, Queen Elizabeth II, and Jon Stewart.

doing Something Unenjoyable
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.
Life is challenging. In order to be happy and successful, we need to prepare ourselves on many fronts. Although participating in enjoyable activities is always desirable, in my view it is also necessary at times to do things we do not enjoy. The bases for my view are personal, social and financial.
Personally, doing things we don’t care for builds character and helps us mature. For instance, when parents have their first baby they are forced to give up their freedom in order to look after the child. There are times when parents barely get enough sleep and still have to get up and go to work in the morning. Similarly, when students are in school and university, they need to spend a lot of time studying. In spite of being tempted to go out with friends and attend parties, those who have self-control and keep their priorities straight are the ones who get high grades. Through such life experiences people become stronger, wiser and more responsible.
From a social perspective, we live in an interdependent world which imposes its obligations on us. Each person belongs to diverse social groups and plays various social roles. Each of us has to attend birthday parties, weddings and funerals to show we care about our fellow human beings. Participating in events for the sake of others teaches us to go beyond our own selfish needs and to share in the joys and sorrows of others.
Financially-speaking, people need to work - and spend - to keep the local, national and international economy growing. We need to support our own family in particular and our community in general. In fact, most of us work many more hours than we would like to work. What propels us to continue working is our financial needs, commitments and obligations. Only in this way are we able to live comfortable lifestyles and save for our retirement days.
In conclusion, life places huge demands on us. By participating in a wide variety of activities, both pleasant and unpleasant, we can discover more about our unique selves and live fuller lives.

Farewell My Friends
I want to thank, most of all, the readers who have kept me going. Thank each and every one of you for reading my articles, for responding to polls, and for putting your thoughts and questions on the message boards.
I wish you all very much success in the coming year. I hope our paths cross again, but if they do not... please know that you've been a wonderful part of my life. Thank you.
May your journey be blessed.
Remember...
The wind will guide you

Chong Hwa Independant High School
4/1/2010!! The beginning of my secondary school life. Know lots of new friends... Cool! And... yeah, maybe I should tell you all, I am in the same class with Wilson, Ding Jie, Yenne and Jia Xuan. And sitting beside Wilson...! Good news... We're the tallest two boys in class so sit at the back.
Other than that, nothing much happened. And now the H1N1 virus isn't so dangerous anymore so the school let us use the air conditioner. Whoa... So comfortable... Study somemore ada air- cond! The studying is lots of fun, I hate nothing about it. But it'll be a tiring everyday because school finishes at 3:15p.m. except for Wednesday. And because I am going back home by bus, so I'll reach home at about 4.50p.m.!
Me and Wilson got in the school basketball team, so we'll have basketball practice on Monday and Wednesday after school. When I get back... it'll be six!! Walau... but, nvm. As long as I like it, it's ok. This is all I can tell you all.
I'll get some cool pictures and show you if I took some. My class is real FUN! And I hope so much that you can see my classmates. Goodbye...
