Union Primary School 6B Gathering

Sorry for the late post about the gathering as I was trying to find my camera cable. I thought I lost it! Phew…

At first, to be honest, I was not keen on going to the gathering as I am not a very sociable person, but I was kind of excited to see everyone coming around and meet again… I’ve seen most of the classmates either in school or in tuition. The gathering was held in Tanjung Bungah Beach Hotel, which is SO close to my house only! haha

This was the first time, me strolling around in the sandy beach and touching sand. Excuse me for being so barbaric. It was kind of fun but it was NOT fun when Le Yu poured sand on my body. First time ma…

Some of the beautiful scenery captured by the beach. Much to my surprise that the beach was not entirely polluted with rubbish. The sea was quite clear but I still had to watch out for jellyfish…

DSCN1686 DSCN1692

When I arrived at the hotel, I found my friends playing captain ball already, so I took my trusty Nikon camera to take pictures of them. I like how my camera captures the motion of the people and the ball…

DSCN1699

People start to come around… Vivian on the left and KarYin on the right… Notice how I shrunk KarYin’s height by placing my camera way down… MUHAHAHAHA!

DSCN1708

Vivian on the left, KarYin with her camera in the middle and Alaric, the cameraman on the right…

If you guys read Sejarah, you know that woman back in the days “mendulang emas”, so this picture above is the modern rendition of “mendulang emas”, except that this girl is washing syringe… =.=

The cute Miss Alicia… She was initially from Union Primary School but switched to Penang Chinese Girls High School in Standard 5…

Boys bathing after the sandy encounter… I see Gabriel and Alvin…

Girl, what is KarYin trying to do? Actually, she is throwing a water balloon towards Chen Hee after he threw one at her. the balloon is floating mid-air in this picture…

DSCN1736

Don’t they look like a perfect couple of the same height? KarYin and Adrian…

The scouts began to start the campfire around 6 in the evening. They had to find a suitable spot and the correct technique to start it. Applause for them to start one big campfire… If I did it, we won’t get anything after 1 week for BBQ! Oh ya, we had BBQ for dinner… Tasted good…

DSCN1809

The final group picture of us at the end of the BBQ session… Look how much we’ve grown throughout the years… though we may not see each other often, we still treasure our friendship and the times we’ve been through the primary days.

The fact that we can unite together for one night is amazing. We talked a lot about my primary days, our crushes and many more. We also took this chance to celebrate Edmund’s birthday and did the usual routine on Edmund…

At the end of the night, we definitely had a wonderful time together and it was really unforgettable. A special shout-out to those who planned this gathering and for buying the ingredients. I am actually quite looking forward to the second gathering, this time with more girls attending!

Till then, I shall sign out now! Peace out! XD

America’s Next Top Model 13, episode 4 and 5

Two weeks have passed and I’ve watched two episodes of ANTM 13, the next petite model. Lulu and Bianca were voted out by the judges by  not presenting themselves as models through pictures. I, personally, am not a big fan of Lulu as she was talking behind people’s back, so I thought justice was made when she was eliminated. I was not a big fan of Bianca in the beginning but she later grew on me before she was eliminated.

Now, I’m going to list out my Top Six up till now:

1st-Erin Wagner

America's Next Top Model America's Next Top Model

She looks tall in these pictures. Her frosted eyebrows and the determination in her eyes are very special. She has an icy persona which I hope can be melted so that the judges will not have a reason to eliminate her so fast. She is awkwardly beautiful and definitely is my most favourite girl in the cycle.

2nd-Jennifer An

America's Next Top Model America's Next Top Model

She has ptosis, which cause her droopiness in her eyes but that does not stop her from modeling excellent pictures. She looks better when she is not looking at the camera. Her jawline is stunning but I wish she can drop her hands on the second picture. She was literally screaming in the second picture but it’s still nice. Go Yellow Fever!

3rd-Nicole Fox

America's Next Top Model America's Next Top Model

I do not believe that she is 5 feet 7 as she looks like a giant on the first picture. She is very editorial as her poses are awkwardly beautiful and fashion forward. Her face is stunning and she is slowly bringing her personality to the table. She is the weirdo in the cycle but not anymore. She is opening up and definitely one of the prettiest girl in this cycle.

4th-Laura Kirkpatrick

America's Next Top Model America's Next Top Model

The sweet southern girl with her thick southern accent is what makes her so approachable. Once she is in front of the camera, she turns it out like a model. Her attire made by her grandmother is surely cute but she needs to be a bit more professional in front of judges, Nevertheless, I think she is a stunning girl with big personality.

5th-Brittany Markert

America's Next Top Model America's Next Top Model

Brittany has an editorial face that is not necessarily fresh for the market but she can be photogenic in front of the camera. Last week she was in the bottom two but she turned out a good decent photograph this week, not necessarily my favourite. She has amazing facial features and I hope she can go far in the competition.

6th-Kara Vincent

 America's Next Top Model America's Next Top Model

She is a girl which masculinity meets femininity. She has man-like facial features but she photographs well, but her eyes are in the way. She needs to command her presence in her photoshoot. Her face is stunning and I hope she can be in the Final Six in this competition.

America’s Next Top Model 13, Episode 2

My blog is starting to turn like an America’s Next Top Model Fan blog already, but I still like it. At least, I can still use English to write my comments about the pictures. This week’s photo shoot contains a bit of nudity. The girls are to shoot nude on the upper part of their body only. I personally like the makeup on some of the girls, some just look draggish! Here is my call out order for this photo shoot:

Brittany Markert

 Brittany Horse image

To quote Mr Jay, the photo shoot director, Brittany’s poses are straight out from an Italian vogue magazine, and she does look very long. The dark hair has enhanced his sexuality and the makeup on her is F-A-B-O, fabulous!

Laura Kirkpatrick

 Laura Horse image

For this picture of Laura, I am not a big fan of the long shot because her face does not look nice. When they get to the close up, Laura’s face blows me away. This picture proves that she can be totally different from who she is, which is naive. The body is quite nice also…

Erin Wagner

 Erin Horse image

Erin’s look is the type of school girl look that I like. The makeup in this photo shoot brings her facial features to the picture. The lips are voluptuous, the eyes are piercing and the body is not bad too. I am not a fan of the displacement of the hands in this picture.

Nicole Fox

Nicole Horse   image

Foxy Lady does it again with this abnormal pose. She is wearing an undie, ok? The face is very special as it is not as evil beauty as the other girls did. She has a kind of sadness in her face in this picture who works for me. Again, I am not a big fan of the hands and body…

Jennifer An

Jennifer Horse  image

The makeup… is the perfect example of the suitable makeup for Chinese Asian women. The makeup is predictable… The body is slamming but what a shame, she has some kind of weakness in her eyes. That makes her eyes so uneven in the close up and looks a bit drunk and sleepy. I love her being so confident still even with her weakness.

Kara Vincent

 Kara Horse image

Kara, the girl with strong facial features, actually can handle such makeup, I’m impressed! Although she lack emotion in her face, the overall performance is still fairly good, at least it is better than the other girls…

Overall, I think that only 6 girls did well in this photo shoot. They may not have the height, but what they have inside is their passion and determination that I like.

Bianca, your ATTITUDE SUCKS!

That is it for this week. I will be back probably to give my comments on the photo shoot next week…

America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 13

Another cycle of America’s Next Top Model premiered on national television last night, and I am super excited about the whole season. This time, Tyra Banks chose petite model wannabees at the height of 5’7 and shorter. Most of the girls are very talented and they definitely have model potential in them.

The premier episode has been aired and I would like to arrange my call-out order to the pictures if I was Tyra Banks. The theme of the photoshoot was to re-enact models’ baby photo in a more fashion way, shot by Baldomero Fernandez:

Kara Vincent

Although she is not the most stunning girl in the bunch, her photo is amazing. Her profile is strong as she has strong facial features that sometimes may photographed very harsh or perhaps manly. Anyways, her fashion photograph is the best for me.

Nicole Fox

The red-haired girl sure knows how to pose high-fashionly. Her baby photo is something you can see from the fashion magazine, except that her face is slightly dead. She needs to work on her personality as I find her quite weird. She creeps me out… Oh, my friend, Shaun, just couldn’t stop saying “J’adore Nicole” or “Elle est magnificent” or “Je’ l’aime”!

Rae Weisz

The platinum blonde proves that not all blondies are dumb. She had to work a pair of 8-inch high heel ballet shoes in her photo shoot and she nailed it from head to toe. Her face is very ethereal and great. Chanel Iman, the guest judge, said she will practice this pose. Rae is also a single mother, who will compete for his daughter. How sweet!

Jennifer An

 

Who says these models are below 5 feet 7? This yellow fever is back with Jennifer. Though not as spunky as Sheena, she delivered this picture from head to toe. Her jawline is also amazing in this picture and the fact that she took most of the frame is brilliant.

Erin Wagner

 

Another stunning platinum blonde that produced a gorgeous picture… Her bleached eyebrows are creeping me out in the picture but you can deny, this picture is FIERCE! Somehow I think that petite models may be more professional than the models of typical heights…

Courtney Davies

She is in a cheerleading squad, where she broke her ankle while performing a difficult stunt but continued to compete. Her photo may be one of the most high fashion pictures I ever seen but she may look a little boyish in person. I hope her leg can recover soon…

Laura Kirkpatrick

She is such a sweet southern country girl who knows how to model. I just wish she would arch her back a bit to create more shape to her body.  I love love love love her personality and her face.

Brittany Markert

She was my favorite girl but I was a little disappointed at her performance on set. she did look like a model for porn website and did not give any fashion twist to her baby picture. However, I still think that she is still stunning with that black hair. I hope she can go far in this competition.

The rest are all bland and I have nothing to say… Bianca, your attitude stinks!

The photoshoot for next week is nude on the horse. Looking forward for that! But then, it’s time for me to say BYE!

Australia’s Next Top Model, Cycle 5

This cycle premiered in 2009 and Tahnee Atkinson was the winner of the competition with a charming smile and spunky personality. Though she won the competition, I always have my favourites in a competition and I will be listing them down:

1st – Adele Thiel

The fire-red beauty has stunning features that makes her stand out in the crowd. Though the judges complained about her one-note look or flat personality, I still think that she makes everything look “expensive”. She is definitely a gorgeous model which can go far in the modelling industry.

2nd – Clare Venema

Despite labeled as a “prissy princess”, she is very mature at the young age of 16. Can you believe that she is the same age as me? She also that stunning features that can really grab your attention at first sight. It is a shame that she was not in the final 2, but she is just gorgeous that is from the inside out.

3rd – Laura Mitchell

Miss Mitchell is half British and half Chinese if I am not mistaken. And she looks the real person of Mulan…Though she did not make into the Top 6, she still has a nice personality and nice pictures throughout the competition.

4th – Cassi Van Den Dungen

Click to view full size image

A frightened little 16-year old who said the F-word at the end of the first runway, has blossomed into a striking model with beautiful proportions. She has expressed her desire to quit the competition several times, but always bounced back with great performance in the photoshoot and has wowed the judges several times. She improved her runway walk at the end of the competition but was not able to win the competition.

5th – Tahnee Atkinson

Click to view full size imageClick to view full size image

Click to view full size imageClick to view full size image

She does not have a typical body like other model, because she is slightly bigger than the others. She has a nice face but I find her to be very boring in photos because she always has the same expression… Her personality is approachable but she morphed into a plus-sized body during the finals. Her cuteness, I believe got herself the winner of the competition.

I believe that Australia’s Next top Model has produced beautiful models, and I wish them all the best in their journey.

The Test

Everybody is sighing of relief as the infamous test has just passed. Four endless nights for some but I think that burning the midnight oil is completely an absurd idea. I think if we do our daily revision consistently, there is not a need to stay up late unless that is your strategy of revising.

I previously teamed up with my friends for a study group so that we get full coverage and understanding on almost each subjects. I think study group really helps a lot so that we can gain some knowledge and dispel the questions that you inquiry.

DSCN1476  DSCN1483

(From left): Kee Khai, Yi Jian, Shaun and Wooi Keat.

By the way, Shaun can also be called “Mr Chemist” because his Chemistry has been the best amongst us five for three consecutive times. His Chemistry has maintained 90+ and is still improving. Are we going to see him achieving 100 marks in Chemistry? We will see…

Shaun, can be seen, is teaching us on how to draw ionic bonds and covalent compounds… Thank you, Shaun.

DSCN1482 DSCN1490

Shaun, a bit disgusted that Wooi Keat has not managed to grasp the concept of covalent compounds, and demonstrating how to twist and twist and twist the newly-found hobby, Rubik’s Cube. I think the era of Rubik’s cube is taking Chung Ling by storm. More and more people are twisting this 3 x 3 cube like ever before… Many got confiscated in school by the prefects. Poor thing…

I will be sharing my review on this time’s test:

I super super love love the English paper this time. Finally, the questions are harder and more up to the standard. Words, like meticulously, painstakingly, and many other words are among the trickier vocabulary in the paper. It took  me a while to complete the rational cloze test as the answers are quite close, but the English this time is good. I’m not going to expect myself getting 100 but I hope that English really pulls my average marks up.

Chinese and Malay are not my forte language, so I’m not expecting high marks for these papers. Chinese is hard as always, probably because I’m not adept at interpreting the traditional text. One thing good about the Chinese paper is that we can memorize the 名句精华, so at least we don’t fail the paper. For those who are lazy to memorize them, that is your own fault. Malay is not really super tricky nor super unchallenging, but it takes technique to summarize the text and wide vocabulary skills to “bina ayat”.

Additional Mathematics and Mathematics are either my good friends or my worst enemies, perhaps I’m my own worst critic. I remembered that I had to change my place during the Additional Mathematics paper because some people didn’t want to switch on the fan. Anyways, the additional mathematics is not that tricky and I know how to do most of the questions, I really hope that I am not careless. If I am not careless, I may score quite high. I heard from 4SA2 friends, that Mathematics paper will be tougher because the teacher will insert Form 5’s probability in it, I was so nervous. Then, when I got the paper, it was not that hard as I expected but I think I made some mistakes…

Biology has not been my best subject yet, and I’m hoping it will be. I find that I am not that interested in cells because the Cell Division was quite a tough nut to crack, and it took a while for me to comprehend. The paper is not easy at all. I look at the first page and my mind immediately go blank. I really hope that my answers are able to convince my new Biology teacher.

Chemistry is my favourite subject now. The paper is, again, not that tricky but I HOPE that I am careful when I did my calculations. My teacher said that there are 3 students who obtained 93 in Chemistry, and I HOPE that is one of mine!!! Shaun got 98 for his Chemistry… “I’m too perfect to be angry!”

Physics has been quite a love-hate relationship with me, because of some reasons. I always mix up the formulae and I HOPE this time I did not. The paper is 100% easier than the last paper, but it is always my carelessness which takes a toll on me.

History is my second favourite subject. I don’t understand why people keep bitching, moaning, fretting, complaining about Islam and their names. Save time doing that and read! I breezed through the paper because I memorized most of the important points, and i HOPE I will do well in this paper! Keeping my fingers crossed…

Till then, I pray pray hard that I can score this time, to regain my glory! Have a nice day…

Warning!

I’m not in a good mood nowadays!

For those of you think you can screw me up, put me down, THINK AGAIN!

I’m not the soft, effeminate person as you see in front of your eyes, until I reached my limit, you will never see the night coming.

All those bitches, you have awaken me, that this world is not a pleasant place to live!

Shut the f**k up or else you will see me explode!

You bitches, morons, imbeciles, idiots, get the hell out of here!

Separation

you know your friend since primary school days, then got separated in secondary school. When you meet him or her again, there is a certain barrier, that will hold you two from talking. What are these kind of relationship? Shall we put them as insincere relationship or maybe awkward start?

How about we start with been assigned to different class? We are bound to be separated into different class, but we are sincere with each other, why can’t we continue to meet and talk like friends? Are we supposed to act like strangers when we see each other?

Secondly, will fame and glory rob our friendship? Just because you are the superstar of the team, we will forget those friends that helped you to climb the ladder of success, is this what you will do? Just because to please the higher authorities, you don’t want to befriend with your true friends?

Next, will an incident spelled the end of friendship? We friends play around and joke around, even mimic an act or scene, but is it because your temper and unwillingness that made you forget your friends? Will that small picture blind your vision to the big picture?

How can you turn your back after all such things? Desolation…

Just because of one small incident, made you forget our years of friendship?

Why must you be the devil and the troublemaker?

I am SICK and TIRED, of all of these. I have something to be worried about, and now you caused more trouble to my life. Do you know how badly hurt am I these days? Do you know how much I want to talk to you but your ignorance turned me off?

I don’t care what people say about us being too close! Those bitches ought to shut themselves up!

I treat you so much, not as a friend, but a companion, and yet you treated me like this? I felt betrayal and ignorance.

算了,免了! Since you want to treat me like this, I will do the same thing to you! I am a fair person. I will respect you, if you respect me first. If you cross the line, you will have no chance to turn back. In Brandon’s world, there will be no forgiveness if you hurt me badly!

For those of you, who still want to tease me, get your fat ass out of my world before I explode.

Dreaming…

Here I am, having amnesia after midnight. I have been busy lately  doing secretary job and so on. I am not sure about striving perfection in life… In fact, I am kind of confused what kind of reciprocation do I want.

Teenagers are starting to know more about the real world. Many have gone off course, but are we going to give up in fulfilling our dreams? Are we the kind of person, that will give up halfway or at the very end?

Once your friend promised you something, how would you feel if they forget that promise?

Hurt… Emo…Sad…
