In my last post, u gotta see how talented am I….

"wah, this miss perfect…..This oso can do, tat oso can do…." make u guys very envy, huh?

but I don’t feel the whole thing is rite. I believe tat everything in this world’s maintained by the concept of "ying and yang", in which everything gt its positive and negative sides…so in this post, I will touch on……THE DUMB SIDE OF ME……n hope u guys enjoy reading it lah…=D

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

I went for pingpong practice this morning. It’s been a long while, since I last "touched" my pingpong bat(abt one and a half year ady I guess?)

If u think I went for the practice b’cos I love pingpong……then u r wrong….I am actually having a table tennis frenship tournament organised by the HAINAN Association tis cuming 8-10 Dec in KL. The tournament is specially hold for Hainanese ONLY frm all over the M’sia twice a year.My mom is a Hainanese. So, I gt the "ticket" to participate even though I’m not really an expert in playing pingpong. As for today’s practice……I was actually burning the last minute "midnight" oil!!

My dad has always show his passion towards pingpong…..B’cos of his talent and interest in coaching pingpong, he actually resigned his job as a teacher and signed a contract with the Majils Sukan Negara, to become a full-time table tennis coach. He was once a coach in National table tennis team back in year 1999-2001…Now, he has his own training centre in a primary school.

With a father like tat, u guys must thought tat…."wah….this gal must be an expert in pingpong, like father like ‘daughter’ ma"..=.="….The fact is…..NO….I’m a big, stupid dummy in the world of pingpong. U gotta see how I play pingpong…..My dad described it as "ayam punya tangan, itik punya kaki"….I’m pretty lamE in terms of physical coordination(but I wonder why I still can dance??=.="4get abt it)……and it always took me half an hour longer to warm up and hit my first ball…..yea yea….in the end I still can hit the ball and eventually managed to wakil negeri for one or two times(in which I only managed to secure the place as "reserved player" )….I wonder why I never inherit my father’s gene in terms of playing pingpong….It makes me really "malu" to admit tat my dad was once a national table tennis coach….

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

My mom was a Maths expert back to her schooling days….She told me tat she can fail every subject…but MATHS?no way!….She always gt an A+ for her MATHS even during STPM…solving Maths and IQ problems always  her hobby, until her MATHS teacher pun mau salin dia punya calculation working…..But her daughter?(I mean me…)…haha!….If Maths can pass oso curi2 laugh ady lor(esp during F6….I actually failed my Maths in the first monthly exam…oops…)….I simply hate numbers and calculation, even simple calculation in daily lifes(like counting money for example)….I can’t do calculations without a calculator….(even if u give me a calculator pun u oso can’t guarantee tat I will give u an accurate answer)…..why I din inherit my mom’s Maths gene?I oso dunno…..

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

Since I am weak in Maths, u can expect tat I am weak in Physics as well….yea, BINGO!I am weak in physics and I HATE PHYSICS!!All the stupid physics laws, formulas and calculations…..make me really pening la!….(so, pls pls dun let me see any physics book if u still consider me as ur frens…hehez)….eventually, I oso berikrar kepada Tuhan tat I won’t touch Physics reference books anymore for the rest of my life on the day I finished sitting SPM for Physics(I hope tat doesn’t sound too serious for u)….Moreover, I gt a really lamE Physics teacher back in my F4, F5 years(seniors, frens and juniors frm SMKG will know who tat "clever" teacher is…hehez)…..She always turned simple concepts in physics into a difficult one…I never understand a word she murmured(dunno whether it’s the teacher is too lamE or I’m the one who’s too stupid…=.=")….If not b’cos of Mr Chandra, my great Physics tuition teacher, I might hv to say "byebye" to my A1 in Physics for good.

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

I’m oso a computer dummy…..anything got to do with viruses, spams and programming…pls dun ask me…..U r knocking on the wrong door if u did!….I’m oso lamE in playing online games….I still remember tat last time, I registered an acc for the online game, called O2 Jam….(emm, I hope u guys know wat the heck tat game is, it’s like playing keyboard like tat de)…..Everytime I practiced the song on O2 Jam, I always gt the an "F"….(yea, so lamE)….even aft a month I practiced, I only can get myself upgraded to level 3….(yea, again….so lamE)….I really wonder why I am so lamE while I can play piano so well…..

I think tat’s all…(of course I still gt plenty of dumb sides, but I think these shud be enuf ady la)….wat I wanna say is….just accept the dumb sides of u as part of who u r…..No one is perfect….learn to let go and develope ur potential in ur real talents…It’s just like….u can never teach a fish to fly on sky or to teach a cat to swim in the ocean….just accept the way of who u really are.

Specially dedicated to the dummy and dummies out there…..U R NOT ALONE!!!=)

*Your true colour is yet to be unveiled…..*

ok, about my results…..

Some of u who thought I’m supposed to score as the category Biology/Chemistry/Geology(since I’m studying in F6 Bio class now) might be a bit surprised…..yea yea….but at least I still scored 100% for tat category….

but I’m not surprised at all….

I’ve always been interested in history, as well as the study of the origin and customs of human beings since I was a kid…..I still remembered the first time my dad brought me to a museum….Muzium Arkeologi Lembah Bujang which is abt 30 o 40kms frm my hometown….when I was 5….the feelings of curiousity, as well as astonishment just flow through my blood stream like tat….I think I gt the gene frm my dad….he told me tat history has always been his favourite subject back to his schooling years…..with a history fans like my dad, he always told me story on history….frm Kedah’s history, then to story abt Zaman Kesultanan Melayu…then China’s history(frm Qin dynasty to Ching Dynasty)….then World History….So, it’s not surprised tat I will show interest towards history as well….*like father like "daughter" ma….*hehez….eventually, I oso thought of becoming a historian in the future when my teacher asked abt my ambition in primary 2….

Then…. music…. My mom is a super classical music fans. She told me tat she frequently played piano and had ady let me listen to the classical music using earphone since I was in her womb during her pregnancy. Even I was a kid, my mom always played the classical music on radio and taught me how to read the piano score. She said, to play well in piano has always been her dream since she’s a kid. However, due her family’s condition, she could only learnt piano aft she graduted frm Maktab Perguruan. She really hope I can realise her dream to play well in piano. So, piano comes into my life when I was 7. My mom hired a home tutoring piano teacher to teach me piano at home.Once a week on Friday morning, I still remember. And I didn’t let my mom down….my teacher said I possess certain extent of talent in playing piano and eventually let me "skipped" grades 2 times….first time was Grade 1 and the 2nd time was in Grade 6….however, as I achieved higher Grade, I become lazier at the same time. Plus, I hv to keep my eyes on my studies and co-cu activities in skul….So, when I sat for my piano Grade 8 exam for the 1st time in Form 2….I failed….So, I resat the same exam in Form 3, the same year I sat for PMR….nevertheless, I failed again b’cos lack of practice. I still remembered how I screamed, cried, yelled and threw my Grade 8 exam result into dustbin soon aft I receieved it. I stopped my piano lessons since then….I din touch the piano for quite a while. However, my passion for music still flow in my blood and I decided to play piano again….Since then, piano and music has always been my great companion until now.

Science came into my life for the 1st time during primary 4. I was always curious with the world of science and like to ask nonsense questions. I picked up certain Science concepts pretty fast(except in Physics….I hate physics…hehez). I like Biology esp. So, it’s not surprised tat I prefer F6 Bio class as my choice now. Studying abt living organisms is always fun for me……and I never scared of blood, insects and corpses….and I think tat gives me some credit to study biology.

At the same time, I also love literature, writing, culture studies, foreign languages, dance, sports and outdoor activities as well……but due to the current education system, I just kept them as hobbies.

Some ppl might admire me for possessing so much talents in diff fields…..but deep in my heart, I’m having conflicts within myself. Aft SPM, I was like, still wandering abt around all the different courses and dunno which one to pick. There’re too many choices which can suit my ability and interest, although I’m not sure I can master up the course or not later……I really felt like "A jack of all trades, but master of none"….at that time

but now, I’m glad tat I’ve made my choice….F6 Biology in Keat Hwa. yeah, I admit tat it wasn’t my first choice. Ppl always say F6 is not good la, hard la, wasting time la…and I thought like tat either at first. However, like a Malay proverb goes…"Tak kenal maka tak cinta"….I slowly shed off my prejudice on Form 6. Now, I’m happy with my choice and I promise that I will work hard on it.

That’s all….I think I hv crapped a lot here….hope u guys are still awake when u read until this line…hehez….

Specially dedicated for my frens who are still not sure wat’s their real potential. Wish u all the best. May God bless u…("^-^")

Welcome to my World

November 18th, 2006 by 4seasonspring

I dunno why a sudden I decided to open a blog on frenster today….I just simply clicked on my frens’ blogs…scanning  n skimming through their writings, their stories…..which makes me come out wif a thought …maybe it’s time for me to write a blog of my own either, to keep all my sweet and sour memories throughout my journey of growing up….(^^,)….plus I’m 18 now….haha….the "legal age" to open a blog on frenster…

ok, I shall introduce u guys a bit about my blog……

The title of my blog…..~The World of Four Seasons Spring~

why I put title as such??

Let me tell u the origin of the title…it’s actually adapted frm my favourite classical strings concerto…Vivladi’s Four Seasons:Spring……I guess my close frens would know I play piano and I am a super big big fans of classical music…hehez….and some of u might as well know I use ‘4seasonspring’ as my nickname either on ICQ or Recom…..

Secondly….I love Spring so much until I wish it’s always spring throughout the seasons…..haha….Spring is the season where all the living things alive and rejuvenate again aft a long period of cool and freezing winter…..Spring is the season where u can see colourful and breath-taking scenery of flowers, which are blossoming everywhere…..Spring is the Season which brings hope for us…..

NEXT….

what’s my blog is all abt?

It’s abt everything….everything in my life–my studies, my thoughts, my opinions, my love life….etc…..I just hope tat my blog won’t bored u guys off…hehez….

How frequent will I blog?

It depends…..

Studying in A.Star now doesn’t allow me to touch computer as frequent as I used to…..eventually, I can only online on frenster, MSN or to check mails once in a blue moon when I come back to my hometown….hehez….(I hope tat doesn’t dissapoint u out there….hehez….*muka tembok*)

I think tat’s all……I hope this blog can serve as my communication tool for my frens out there who wanna know my recent stories, and for those who care abt me….

Cheers, and may God bless u always….=D
