fingers crossed

Well, here I am again, ignoring what my teacher said on Wednesday to temporarily suspend my blog :) No way! Curious about who the teacher is?? Don't ask me, you know him..

Yesterday was the last day for our first monthly test. yeah!!! Hey, don't give me the stare, although I am a nerd but I dislike exams too.. I will be going for camping from the 12-14th of March. Honestly, I am not a fan of outdoor activities. I get freak out pretty much easily whenever insects are concerned. Great!! Thanks to me being a wonderful city folk.. Anyway, back to the point, I am hoping that when the prefects are camping in Pahang, you people in the school will not misbehave.. a mare's nest hope.. Apparently,I am constantly having butterflies in my stomach whenever the word 'camping' is mentioned. This is due to the fact that I suffered a terrible rash after returning from Sungai Congkak last year. It is true that I enjoyed the camp but the thought of getting those rashes again isn't tempting. However, I believe it will be much better this year as we are having a dorm to be slept in and no longer need to squeeze into a wet tent. Do pray hard that I will return from Pahang safe and sound.. By the way, we might not be getting new prefects' T-shirts this year as we have no sponsorship from the PIBG (yet).. In addition, Puan Azimah loves our current T-shirt as it blends really well with our 'banana tee'. :( Well, I have got to go now.. bye

Jejak Bahasa

Latest News. I am the leader for one of the "Jejak Bahasa" group. So, I had to gather 10 members including me. At first, I thought this will turn out to be a piece of cake but it turned out that somehow rather everyone is trying to avoid being part and parcel of this year's "Jejak Bahasa". Anyway I still lack of one form 1 girl and two form 6 girls. Thus, if anyone that fulfills the above 'qualification' and is interested to participate in this event, please inform me. Thanks:) In addition, certificates will be given to all participants.

By the way, my name is Ng Ling Wei and I am from 5 Dedikasi...

Why regret over spilt milk??

Chinese New Year may be nothing but a celebration to you but it means so much more to the elders.. Why I said so???

Everyone celebrates Chinese New Year but how many managed to grasp the meaning beneath this wonderful celebration??

~Chinese New Year(CNY) is the time of the year when the elders eagerly awaits the home-coming of their children and grandchildren as well as their great grandchildren.. The elders eagerly wait to give out the red packets and we the young ones so eager to receive them.. Just a simple and short visit to them once in a year makes them go over the moon... Well, I may seem to be exaggerating but the truth is when we get old, we will no longer like the solitary and quiet lifestyle, which apparently we teenagers consider privacy .. In Malaysia, paying a visit back to your hometown may not be a great deal. Furthermore, you can do it anytime you want throughout the year.. After all the journey from north to south will not take more than 12 hours of driving BUT what about those separated by demarcations and borders? Those who can only afford to travel back home once in a year due to time and financial constraint?? When I was in China for holidays two years back, our tour chauffeur told us that he only gets to visit his family two years once.. Back then, I was thanking God that I am so lucky compared to his son. What will it feels like when your dad is not there when you step into the school compound on the first day of school? What will it feels like when everyone is so busy preparing the Happy Fathers' Day card and you not knowing how your dad looks like because you only seen him twice in your life since the day you were born? Wow, I may have gone over the board but this is exactly what happens to most of the children in China. So, consider yourselves lucky and be thankful.. Paying a visit to your old grandparents will not cost you a bomb. Then, why grumble and mumble when asked to visit the elders? If you have ever looked into the eyes of the elders, you will see them smiling and rejoicing the reunion of the whole family after a tough year.. All I want to say here is that no matter how busy you are, please do pay a visit back to your elders during this festive season. The elders are already in their twilight years, why wait till it is too late? Why regret over spilt milk??
