~The World of Four Seasons Spring~

Date: 23 & 25 April 2007

Location: Bio Lab

I won’t describe too detail about the whole process(dun wanna bore u guys to sleep…heheh)…Just let these pictures speak for themselves.

Caution: For those who will be fainted, vomit or pening kepala when you see blood…prepare yourself a plastic bag or minyak angin….

Before dissection……

"Stop looking at us la…..we know we are cute la"….

(Sir ah, can we not kill them?sayang la….)

                                                                                                      

                                                                                                         

                                                                                                      

These cute, ignorant little fellows……still active as they could be, running here and there….without knowing that they will be "sacrificed" in any minutes……

                                                                        

                                                                     

                                                                      

      

Rats: Oh, my God! Where this old thing come from?What is he going to do to us!?

Mr Chiam:….hehehehehe……..(wicked smile)

                                                                                  

                                                                              

                                                                         

"Ah!!!He’s using the chloroform……!"

                                             

                                                                           

                                                                           

                                                                        

"It’s time for us for a long…….long…….sleep…….."

                                                                               

                                                                            

                                                                           

                                                                         

After the rats had been putting to long sleep…..

"Wei, which one is nicer ha?"

"I want the bigger one….."

"Should I goreng or panggang it?!"

….~_~”’

                                                                                           

                                                                              

                                                                           

            

Let’s begin our dissection!….oi….nanti dulu…..must see how to dissect first la…..

(My Chiam, my Bio teacher demonstrated the whole dissection process on spot)                      

                                                                        

ok, my turn………

First…."peel" its skin using forseps…..

                                                                                  

                  

Then, cut off its stomach…….see what’s inside….

                                                                                                       

                                                                                 

                                                                              

                                                                           

*gasp*……

                                                                                                         

                                                                              

                                                                           

                                                                        

Here it is, the digestive system….

                                                                           

                                                                           

                                                                              

                                                                                                                                                

                                                                        

                                                                                                                                                            

                                                                           

                                                                     

                                                                     

                                                                  

                                                                        

                                  

Then, we went on dissecting the upper part….cutting off the rib cage

 

"Hoi, can u see?!Its heart!Its heart is still pumping!"

*actually….Tipu punya la….haha

                                                                         

                                                                           

                                                                        

Here it is…The respiratory system….

                                                                              

                                                                              

                                                                              

                                                                           

                                                                                                

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                    

Mission accomplished!

                                                                                                    

                                                                               

                                                                           

                                                                           

As human, I felt I was so cruel…..

As a Form six Biology student, I felt excited!! *evil grin on my face*  This was the most extreme stuff I ever did throughout my journey as a sixth former. I’m actually so proud of myself to have done the dissection.<(^-^)>

…….May these rats died in peace…..amen

Miss L and Mr. M are a loving couple. They live opposite with each other with a big river flowing between in front of their houses. The river is quite shallow during sunny days and usually they can just walk across the river using a wooden bridge to meet each other.

One day, Mr. M felt severely sick in his house. Miss L was very worried for Mr. M. However, bad news for her. It was a rainy season with stormy weather, causing the river to be flooded and damaged the wooden bridge. Mr. M had told Miss L again and again not to come over to see him due to the bad weather. Nonetheless, Miss L insisted on paying him a visit.

Mr B owned a boat. Thus, Miss L went to see Mr B, hoping that he could give her a ride to go across the river. Mr B agreed to help, but with one condition: She must pay him RM 500. No matter how hard Miss L tried to persuade him, telling him her hard situation and dilemma, Mr B still insist of his decision–WANT A RIDE? RM500

It’s impossible for Miss L to pay RM500 just for a ride, right? Thus, Miss L paid her visit to second man who also owned a boat, Mr. S. Mr. S agreed to give her a ride, but with one condition: Miss L must “sleep” with him for one night. As Miss L was desperate to see Mr. M, she took the offer and sacrificed her virginity to Mr. S.

The next morning, Mr. S took Miss L across the river with his boat as promised. Finally, Miss L got to see her beloved Mr. M. Thank God, Mr. M managed to recover from his illness after a few days. However, when he knew that Miss L had lost her virginity for another man, he became furious. He couldn’t forgive Miss L as he had repeatedly told Miss L not to come to see him. No matter how Miss L explained the whole situation, Mr. M still insisted of ending their relationship as he couldn’t accept the fact that his girlfriend has lost her virginity for another man.

Miss L was totally despaired. A few years later, she met another man, Mr. F. Mr. F was a loving person and love Miss L deeply. Mr. F started to court Miss L. At the end, Miss L agreed to start off her new relationship with him, even though she wasn’t really love this guy. On the day Mr. F proposed to Miss L, Miss L told him about her past relationship and that she had lost her virginity to another man. Mr. F replied, “It doesn’t matter. I love you. As long as you marry me, I will make you the happiest woman on the earth”.

Touchy, huh?

Now, here’s the question……

There are 5 characters in this story, namely Miss L, Mr. M, Mr. B, Mr. S and Mr. F. Please ranked them from 1 to 5, from the person you like most to the person you like least. Then, you will gotta know what you care most in your life.

Eg: if you like Miss L the most, then, ranked her no1, followed by Mr. M, Mr. B, and so on.

…this is a psychology test, enjoy!

Answer?

Miss L-Love

Mr M-Morality

Mr B-Business

Mr S-Sex

Mr F-Family

=P

P/S:thx senior changyang for the site….saw it frm your blog…..too funny until I can’t resist to post it here=P

I was "clearing rubbish" in my mailbox…..and found this interesting and meaningful article which was sent to me 3 years ago…the content of the mail gives me an urge to post it here to share with you guys. Please read, and think……

Nurturing a Perfect Relationship

TRUST

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation. A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady’s voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband’s pocket but I do not know whose number it is." Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

——————————————————————————–

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticise your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you." We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves. If we forgive others, others will ignore our mistake too.

——————————————————————————–

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous, sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don’t go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television." There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

——————————————————————————–

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person’s character." It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness. It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..

——————————————————————————–

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered, "You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship.

——————————————————————————–

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man’s meat could be another man’s poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?" Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey. Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman." The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders. It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future. Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

——————————————————————————–

BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy’s hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy’s hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy, I’m sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can’t. Too often we fail to recognise the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever. Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Next…..

Some other highlights…..

I donated my blood on 17^th April 2007….The ppl

19^th April 2007-Ekspo Pendidikan in my skul….It was the very 1^st time I experienced an education fair in a an ordinary skul….private colleges/institutions which participated include Taylor, KDU, UTAR, KTAR, University of Bath, JMEC…..blablabla….just to name a few….it’s a great exposure for those SPM and STPM leavers…..only one flaw—the hall is too small while the ppl is too crowded….”people mountain people sea” tat’s wat I called.

23^rd and 25^th April 2007—I became a SURGEON(ekm, a rat surgeon to be more specific) for 2 days. As a F6 Bio student, this is wat we call the best and most EXTREME part of our practical…..(more details aft I finish my midyear)

4^th May 2007—The formation of Our-Stories88…. Calling Gurun Kia born in year 1988 …..hope u guys still remember SMKG as well as 5Sn1, and add urself as a member at:

http://www.friendster.com/group/tabmain.php?gid=455392

Q: Given golf balls, pebbles, sand and 2 cups of coffee…Then, you are given a big mayonnaise jar.…How would you arrange the order in order to fill all of the given items into the mayonnaise jar?

*******************************************************************************

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he picked up a large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

       The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

       He asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

       The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with unanimous…. “Yes”.

       The professor then produced 2 cups of coffee from under the table and poured the contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

       “Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—Your family, your health, your stable spouse, your studies, and your life-long learning process—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

       The pebbles are other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else—small stuffs like games, leisure and luxuries.

       “If you put the sand into the jar first, there’s no room for the pebbles or for the golf balls. The same goes for life. Of you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.”

       “Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Always appreciate and care for your family, your parents, your siblings, your spouse and your children–for you won’t be able to get them back once you lose them. Take time to have a good rest when you need to, and take care of your diets for your health’s sake. With only good health and enough emotional support you get from your family and friends, you can gain enough energy to pay attention on your studies and work.. If you are tired or pressure, only it’s the time you go for games and leisure.”

       “Set your priorities, take care of the golf balls first, then only the pebbles. The rest is just the sand.”

       One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. “I’m glad that you asked. It just goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of coffee with a friend.”

Think about it, and your sharing on this piece of story is most welcomed.<(^.^)>

I’ve attended a leadership course organised my YMCA KL –> Middle Leadership Development Course earlier frm 19th-22nd December 2006…I’ve learned lotsa things I’ve never learned b4 abt leadership in this course….so, I think I shall share wif u guys abt my joyful process of learning during this leadership course.

First of all….

What is LEADERSHIP?

If ur answer is….. Leadership is all abt ordering ppl to do what u want them to do, giving commands and make sure no one disobey u….

Ur answer is still right….(dictatorship-ism included)…..but this answer only applies on the Kapten or Army commanders in military training camp….hehez

The Definition of LEADERSHIP in nowadays’ context…..

LEADERSHIP is abt how u connect a bridge between you(yourself) to a group of ppl wif different diversities(eg like diff background, personality, strengths and weaknesses), and lead them towards achieving a SAME goal/vision….

As for the leadership course I attendeded…… It’s divided into 5 main modules: M1-Team Building, M2-Personality DRAPC, M3-Leadership Sills, M4-Conflict Resolution and Problem solving and M5-Communication styles and Group Presentation.

*I’ll go on by further my elaborations each module in the upcoming posts…

Joyful moments during the course…

Day 1- Registration and Team Builing

We’re accommodated to the YMCA hostel…I gt to know 2 of my roommates, Priya and Yan Yee

at night, Ice breaker…We were divided into 5 groups: Ding Dong Bell, Sunshine, Spiderman, MNG and last but not least…my TEAM—AZLAN

*tat “azlan” name is not a Malay name for heaven’s sake…It originated frm the lion king frm the movie… The Chronicles of Narnia–The Lion, the Witch n the Wardrobe….=D

Day 2- Games and lotsa lotsa lectures on M1, M2 and M3.

lectures? Bored u guys off? Hehe…I din feel bored at all!!…..and I kept bombarding questions to the speakers/facilitators until they oso cannot tahan(cannot stand I mean)…hehez…like tat the boring lectures will become fun ma…

*one of my teammates=>Shah fallen into sick….and she had to leave us tat day…sob…:’(

yesterday morning…I was browsing yahoo and frenster(to blog)…then suddenly the connection went very slow like siput….then I was some kinda "geram" and din wanna online instead aft 10 mins I waited for the Yahoo and frenster page to "pop" out…..

similiar story as mine can be accessed here……

then I passed the pc for my brother to use….He’s kinda weird and wondered why I’m so BAIK HATI today(usually I never give him turn to online if I hvn’t on9 for at least 3 hours…hehez)…..

later, baru he knew abt the problem…he’s kinda geram either..he couldn’t access to his frenster page and online on MSN either..at the end….he ended up playing DOTA instead

U guys hv the same problem either??

Here’s the explanation……..

Local access to Internet services and websites hosted overseas came to a practical standstill after international links were disrupted by the earthquake that struck southern Taiwan on Tuesday night.

The earthquake damaged submarine cables that form part of the region-wide Asia Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN 2), disrupting voice and Internet communications over much of Asia.

APCN 2 is a 19,000km-long fibre-optic cable network linking Japan, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, Europe and Australia.

The network has been up since October 2002 and is jointly operated by 26 Asian telecommunications carriers, including TM Bhd.

The damaged links are between Shantou (China) and Tanshui (Taiwan), and, Lantau (Hong Kong) and Chongming (China).

Internet service provider (ISP) Jaring said the disruption started at 3.45am yesterday, and warned users to expect congestion to and from overseas websites during peak hours.

TM Net said in a statement the disruption caused outages to several of its international transit and peering links.

Following is another good piece of writing frm my senior regarding this topic…..

http://changyang1230.blogspot.com/

So…..tat’s the reason….unexpectable huh??

For me….no internet for a day(when I’m at home) can make me BORED to DEATH…..now, only I realised tat how I’ve been addicted to the world of Internet…..(reminds me of the Chinese essay which won me the High Distinction prize in an National Chinese Essay Competition, entitiled…."The Influences of Internet towards The Younger Generation of today")…..

One day at home without Internet is really DREADFUL and TORTURING for me!!…I really felt like I can’t do anything without Internet..(hoho..tat’s BAD!!)…..A lot of times, I oso ended up arguing wif my mom and brothers just b’cos the Internet(I still remember the last time was on Christmas Eve’s night….so bad la me…hehez)…

I wonder how many ppl gt the same problem as me?esp teens….See how the Internet has controlled our life and mind…..

oops….Sounds like I deviate frm the topic ady….

ok, I shall stop crapping here….hopefully the Internet addicted ppl out there enjoy reading this post….^^

Recently, Some of my F5 juniors requested me abt the NS…and I think it’s the time for me to share my experience in NS here either….hope it dun bored u guys too much…hehez

**********************************************************************************

To my junior out there who will be going for NS training….

U guys must be kinda shocked to know the words of "Tahniah, anda telah berjaya dipilih utk menyertai program latihan khidmat negara"…I dunno u guys will consider urself as lucky or UNLUCKY….but since the computer in Jab Khidmat Negara like u so much….wat to do….just accept the fact and HAVE FUN!!!

well, I shall start by telling u what exactly is the National Service. Lots of people got the stereotype or bad impressions that…..national service must be something like torturing military training….I had that concept in my mind either earlier when I know I was selected….scared, excited, worried, curiosity….all kinds of feelings came to my mind…but now, after I’ve undergone the training, I think I got the concept of what’s abt the national service.

Our country’s national service seems to be lots more different than other countries. As M’sia is not a military-based country, so there’s actually juz a few of military sentiments in our training. Wif other words, the national service in M’sia is more on producing a well-rounded teenager wif patriotism n toleration spirit among the different races, based on 4 modules, which r physical training(military-styled), characteristic moulding, nationality and community service…U can say it’s a programme with ‘4 in one’…but if u wanna ask my opinion, I’m doubting that whether 3 months time(for my case juz 64 days) is enough for a teen to truly immerse themselves in all kind of the modules planned by the government….well, I dunno either…it’s good either b’coz I know most of teens dun wanna suffer in those training for longer period…(maybe including me…haha..)

Let me bring u a bit descriptions abt my camp…I was selected to undergo training in Kem D’Jelapang, Kedah. My campsite is actually in the middle of the forest. The nearest Malay village was abt 3 kilometers away…A totally undeveloped rural area, surrounded by natural tropical forest. There’re 470 trainees in my camp, 251 gals n 219 boys. Gals r called ‘Wirawati’(means heroin in Malay) while boys r called ‘Wira’(means hero in Malay). Gals and boys are accommodated separately at 8 blocks of dorms each, n 2 block of gals n 2 block of boys will be combined to form one team. There’re 4 teams all together, which are Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta. The formation of the teams is important coz we will hv a lot of competitions among teams later.

One thing u gonna hate must be…the sun-burn!…tell u wat…My skin has already turned dark earlier during sports day n school’s extra curricular activities..and now…NS some moreEven though I tried the sun block or whitening lotion, it just din help much….As most activities will be conducted outdoor, so…I think some of u guys would become an ugly black coal when u come back(okok, not scaring u guys)….tips to turn back to white….just stay home aft NS training and dun go anywhere!..=D

but still, National Service was a good and total new experience for me either coz I learnt to manage my daily routine, wash the clothes myself(which I seldom/never done at home), be disciplined(our team was punished to do the bumping in front of the everyone coz once we’re late…really embarrassing!!!), independent, learn others cultures, experienced the natural rain forest surroundings…oh…n the physical module activities like wall-climbing, monkey bars, flying-fox, canoeing, jungle trekking are really awesome…

The 2 modules which I was undergoing for the first 3 weeks were Physical training n Characteristic Building . For the physical training, I must admit it’s really exhausting n tiring!…For the first month, we had to train our stamina first b4 we go on further to tougher training in forest. We’re required to wake up as early as at 5.30 am to have morning exercise at 6.30am…(Sit-up, bumping, jogging……). It’s embarrassing coz I still dunno how to do bumping in correct way… Then every weekdays’ afternoon, we’re required to march or hv taekwando training(called TTS…I 4gt wat it stands for ady) under the hot hot sun! No afternoon nap…n I wonder why there wasn’t even a cloud to help us to block the sunshine…Some of the gals were fainted n fallen into sick(some even being sent to the hospital) b’cos they couldn’t stand of the hot weather…but I feel blessed as I still hv the stamina undergo the training…poof!
 
As for the characteristic building module, we had class every 9am…I got nothing much to say…Sometimes the class was boring but sometimes it wasn’t. I said it’s boring coz the games we played are childish…… n it wasn’t boring coz some of the games we played n the DVD we watched required us to think. Whatever game or DVD it is, it has something meaningful hidden in each of them, which will guide us towards a more positive character…it may be useful for those really want to change…but as the matter of fact, it’s still hard to change the leopard’s spots. Some of the trainees aren’t treat it seriously though…(sigh, I can say I juz accept 60% of what the trainers taught)…but it’s still a worth and meaningful programme.

Module 3-Kenegaraan……din teach me much actually…..it’s like the combination of kenegaraan of PA f6+a bit M’sia’s history…..TOTALLY　BORING!!!…..I think the jurulatih even know lesser than us….how to teach oo?….Most of my classmates just went in to SLEEP….for me….I went inside to TALK…haha…I just like the Parliment debate and group presentation parts….arguing and debating is always fun…hehe

Last but not least….Module 4–Khidmat Komuniti…..kinda fun….there’re 4 categories under this module….(a)Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam  (b)Alam Sekitar (c)Khidmat sosial (d)Agensi Perkhidmatan Bukan Awam….for (a)U will go and help the Jab2 like JKR, TNB, Tentera Malaysia and so on….(b)they will send u to Air terjun, forrest or park to kutip sampah….(c)U will gt the chance to visit old folks home, orphanage or Malay village…As for the Malay village…U can even gt foster parents under Program Anak Angkat….(d)U will go to agensi like MADA……This module is the best as we gt the chance to GO OUT of the "PRISON camp"….hehe

After being in the camp just for a week, somehow I felt disconnected from the world outside …no computer, no handy, no tv, no radio, no magazines, no novels…when I came back on Raya Haji’s break, I tried to keep myself updated by contacting my close frens, reading collected ‘old’ newspapers, online…but things turned out better aft Raya Haji’s break…..they provided us wif tv and newspapers….finally…haha

As for the religious praying….

They will send u off to Masjid, kuil India, church and tokong once a week(depends on wat religion u r)…..As for the chinese(non-Malay I mean….TY, haha…I 4gt u r not Chinese) frm my batch…We gt the chance to pray at "Siam Wat" in Jitra, Kedah….we oso gt the chance to join the activities organised by the Association of Buddhist Jitra…..^^

As for the frens(I mean social)….
dun wory too much….just be active and try to mingle wif others….tolerate wif Malays and Indians frens….dun gt urself involve wif the racist conflicts and u will be fine…^^

I think I write too much ady…I shud stop here……Wish u all the best

waiting for the day u guys finally graduated frm NS!!
