~God is Good all the time~

*updated*

Drown my sadness with four pieces of chicken...........hehe.....The song "trust his heart" ministered to me again. haha

For those who want to know my results, it is 8A1 3A2 and 1B3. Though it is not as good as some people, i am still very much grateful and in debt to God. Yes,i do feel discouraged in some way or another, but hey, what's done is done, and the future isn't bleak for me. There's always a silver lining behind those dark clouds. One of my friend once said, doing SPM well is nothing compared to really doing well in the uni or college. Many students who get good results in SPM start to fail when they go for their tertiary education, and resulted in being blacklisted if they had applied for scholarship. Well i take great encouragement in that, who knows one of us may become famous one day contributing to humanity despite the SPM results? We have to DARE TO FAIL(good book). Many famous and intelligent people come from backgrounds where they have fail at least once. I may fail once now(to get good results), but i may reap another hundred distinctions. So those who are discourage, take delight in the lord. He has better plans for all of us. And each step you take actually glorifies God's name.

Thankful points for SPM:

1. GOD

Yes, i must thank him first for all the things he has done and planned for my life.

2. A supportive Family

I want to say a big thank you to all my siblings and my parents for being there with me and cheering me up despite the SPM results. Especiallly to my mom, who always nags for good, encourage, motivates me (very good stories though), and help me in planning my studies and such. What more can a child can ask??

3. Getting an A1 for Sejarah/History

I actually broke down and cried the night before sejarah paper 2. I told God that i couldn't cope anymore as i have trouble remembering the facts. I ask him to help me, and God did. He told me just to study the notes that my friend had forecasted. I was of course doubtful, but i did as God told me to and i also did some other revision for sejarah. And true enough, all the questions in the paper(or most of it) came from the forecasted list from my friend. I also want to thank her for her generosity.

4. Getting A's for Science Subjects

Not going for tuition for science subjects were though. Nevertheless, i manage to pull through. This proves that tuition is not necessary unless you really need it. Most of all, i need to thank my teachers for teaching (only source for my studies) me and guiding me in the fundamental steps for scoring in SPM. Though we may complain of you, but hey, which teacher is perfect, all of us has flaws. At least, they still come in the class to teach rather than lazing around in the staff room *snickers*

5. Pulling through SPM(dont' eat when reading this, excessive description)

Many of my friends or classmates didn't know this BUT i was actually sick during the second week of exam. Very badly unwell just that i didn't show it in front of you guys. On the Sunday(the day b4 we had our first Monday break) afternoon, i had food poisoning so did my other siblings. I had a very painful stomachache and i was literally rolling on the bed to stop the pain. I couldn't concentrate very well for chemistry. I prayer to God to subside the pain, commanding the pain to go and such. The pain subside, but it came back worst every 30 minutes. Fever start to come, i was feeling nauseous, and i was in pain. I remember crying out to God to help me. Suddenly i had a great urge to vomit, i began vomiting very badly. I never remembering myself vomiting so badly in my life. The volume of liquid was a lot. I think this was the point most of the poison of bad toxins were removed from my body. Then the worst thing came, diarrhea attacks. I had to go to the loo quite often and by then i was literally in fatigue. This is where mother's love comes in, i remember my mom reading the a few chemistry chapters to me while i lie on the bed. She help me to memorize, analyze, remind and such. I did whole of chapter 2 form 5 without even reading and i can still quite remember it. Thank you mom!

For the rest of the week , i was on ultra carbon pills, tablets, multivitamins etc.....I was still sick, down with fever and such. The worst one was having cold sweat. It was so hard to concentrate during the exam but i manage to pull through. I also thank God for speedy recovery because my brother continued to be sick for more than a week.

Anyway, getting 11 A's is not bad considering i was partially handicapped in this case being sick. I can't tell how much i am grateful to God for helping me. I knew i could do better, but God has other plans. Would you rather thank yourself and become egoistic rather than relying and being dependent on God and being humbled? I choose the latter.

6. Blessed with Good Friends

I also want to thank God for putting me with friends at the right hour, right place, and right time, right day etc......It was amazing . I remember walking and i will get some tips here and there by eavesdropping which actually helped me in SPM. Besides that , i want to thank my friends who put up with my antics constantly asking them for help in certain questions or subjects especailly in physics and add math. Not only that, you guys given me good frienship for 2 years(form 4-5). I also want to thank other friends from other schools who actually were generous enough to pass me notes and such which helped me along the way.

7. Being in GRSS

Nothing much to be said right? i can't imagine myself in another school with different environment, teachers and friends......

8. Getting A2 for Bible Knowledge

For the whole year of 2007 i was left alone to study BK on my own. We did have a speed-class which was only three lessons. I'm really thankful for getting an A. I know i should be getting A1 but A2 was already amazing enough for me. Some friends also brief me on the format which may actually cause my marks to drop. Thank God for his providence. Studying ACTS in a week is tedious when all your friends are enjoying already. Haha. By the way, to those who didn't do week in BK, don't fret. It doesn't make you more UN-Christian. What you did was a bold step, declaring that you want to seriously study about your faith. Good thing God doesn't measure our faith by merits, isn't it? You made a point to devote time studying his word and that attitude is more than God can ask for. Have faith!

Anyway, congrats to those who got good results in SPM. But i pray you won't be big-headed*ahem* and remain that standard for years to come. Well, SPM is like that lor, always tricking people's prediction . As for me, i am grateful with my results though i knew i could do better when i wasn't sick. But i won't remain on this level. The devil stole my results ( in a way) and i am going to get it back in future(with God's aid) to come . Besides that, i also applied for JPA scholarships. I know its going to be hard for me to get in, considering the fact 6000+ are students with straight A's. But i know nothing is impossible with God, i'm gonna keep on going on and pray for it. I have greater reasons to thank God if i do get in right? This is the power of prayer.......

New hope, New aspirations , New future, New zeal.......
Thank God for my results!!!!!!

The long waited Day

Yes the long-waited day for every SPM student is tomorrow. Tomorrow would be my first time actually waiting for my results. I wasn't in school to take my result slip for UPSR and PMR. So i'm pretty nervous about tomorrow. Anyway, i'll be able to know my result way earlier than others namely because my mom is able to get into "the room". I'm having mixed feelings right now but all i know i have to leave this matter to God. Anyway, whatever the results i receive , all glory, honour goes to Jesus. I know he will guide my path for my future.

Trust His Heart by Babbie Mason

All things works for our good
Though sometimes we don't see how they could
Struggles that break our heart into two
Sometimes blind us to the truth

Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when our pathway grows dim and you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see his plan
When you can't trace his hand
Trust His Heart

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hands
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him

We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand trust His hear

I can't help feeling peaceful whenever this song is being played or sung. Hope it will encourage you.

My prayer:

Lord Jesus, I know that you know my future and all things are in your hands. Lord, based on you word that if we seek you first and your kingdom, all these things will be added unto us. I claimed that promise in the name of Jesus that it will come to pass. I pray that you will grant me the desire of my heart. Most of all Lord Jesus, I pray that your hands will be upon me guiding my every step even if i fall or stumble. Whatever the results may be, i pray that it will glorify your name. Lord Jesus, most of all i pray for door of opportunities for me to further my studies in biotechnology. Lord, i leave my results and future into your hands. And i know you're a father to me lord, and how much more does a father would want to bless his children. In the name of Jesus i pray, Amen.

Glory to God whatever that it will be!

~Of potato and Buns~

Daniel showed me a video on how terrible macdonald's is . Here Take a look. I'm sure you'll be shocked. A 4 YEAR OLD MACDONALD HAMBURGER and yet its not deteriorating at all . Still PERFECT.



I'm guessing is that they used preservatives. Even then, think about the billions of people eating Macdonald's food right now. The cause for obesity(not for me though, I don't eat fast food regularly but i do eat sweets. Haha). For the fries, I'm guessing there must be SO MUCH OIL inside out the fries till water maybe is separated from the potatoes thus leaving an unsuitable environment for fungus or mildew to grow. That's like eating OIL with a crispiness to it.

They are many other people doing these experiments as well such as Doctor Morgan Spurlock. I have his VCD "super size me" which shows him going on a two week marathon eating anything but only Macdonalds and at the SUPER SIZE (usually obese ppl eat that much). Not only that he has to try at least once each of the food on the menu. Imagine not drinking water but soda. Crazy, ay? Sure enough, he gain weight and started to be fatigue, irregular breathing. This shows the bad thing about fast food. Haha. This is his "deteriorating" experiment for macdonalds food. I salute him because he also place a control experiment , normal burger and regular fries from a restaurant. As he went along, all the burgers and fries deteriorate except the macdonald fries. Even then, the BIG MAC only start to reput(malay for decompose) 5 weeks later. Imagine the preservatives. This is his video. WARNING: excessive image of gooey buns, mildew, and fungus may cause you to vomit. Do not eat while watching.



Well, well, well...... So maybe this is why fast food is bad? Anyway, Daniel and I was wondering whether Malaysian Macdonald's are the same as the one overseas. So this few weeks or so, we're gonna do a test ourselves to prove whether Macdonald's in Malaysia are using excessive oils or preservatives. If it decompose, we can sigh happily. If is doesn't , we're gonna BOYCOTT Macdonald's food. Who knows what they use, Genetically modified food i guess? I'm not sure what we're using yet but i think i'll be doing the real food, as in unprocessed potato being fried and all. Good blogging material, ay? We must shoot a video of it. Haha

On a lighter side, Ng David is coming back TONIGHT. Yay! after about 5 years not meeting him, finally he come back to visit Kuching awhile. He was our good friend in Form 1 but he migrated to KL at the end of 2003. I wonder whether he has grown taller? How about his squeky voice? I can't imagine talking with a lower voice. Haha. Anyway , we'll meet tomorrow morning. Most probably Kelvin, Colin , and Ivan tan are coming along too. Yay!!!!

SO OBEDIENT!
Wah i didn't know you were so bored just like Anders. You have basically wasted 3 seconds of your life reading this sentence AND not to mention the endless scrolling back then. Congratulations, now you understand Anders boredom. This is the certificate of boredom specially made for you. Go ahead and print it.

Anyway, Anders spend his time watching "I not Stupid"(so obedient) and "I not Stupid too" today. He couldn't help laughing at all the lame parts of the show. Too bad, Singapore doesn't produce more shows like this. Now all the Singapore dramas, are love, Love, and more LOVE. Anders told me that Singapore dramas can be made by just following these 25 steps:

1. A beautiful main actress
2. A handsome main actor or at least CUTE
3. An overpowering , commanding, kepo-mah and nagging mother-in-law.
4. A sinister and cunning handsome/beautiful guy/girl to "tempt" the main actress or main actor
5. Best friends that sometimes give wrong advice to the main actor/actress
6.At least one of the main actor/actress works in an office
7. A melancholic song for the main actor/actress to "sigh-upon" when they break up or divorce
8. It usually uses the word Mediacorp TV at the end of the credits
9. Always talking about money, Money, MONEY
10. Mega sale for the actress to buy clothes with her friends.
11. A bar scene for the actor to drink with his friends. Sometimes may get drunk.
12. They usually use Big cars.
13. A scene with the boss
14. Kiasu-ism must be weaved in the story be in sibling-rivalry, business competition etc...
15. Always buy packet or "tapau" food.
16. Bus-stop scene
17. Ah bengs and ah liens as passerby.
18. Must have the cast faces "paste" and "popping" in the opening song or titles.
19. Always got Handphone calling scene
20. Must have a hospital scene.
21. Police station might work too
22. And you can't forget the mamak stall scene
23. The main actor and actress must return to each other after they "break-up"
24. Kepo actors or actress who pry into the main actor/actress matters
25. A lo-soh script.

That's basically what Anders deduced after watching tons of Singapore Dramas but he cannot compete with Ahma and Min Zhi who are die-hard fans.

Besides that, Anders is in a Christmas mood after hearing to this superb Christmas song by David Phelps. This is the video. Anders was amazed at the control of his high tenot voice. Anders could feel the electricity in the air. Anders reminded me to turn up your speaker's volume.


This is the bored conscience of Anders blogging. Till next time....

Now, Anders wants to tag these following people to write a post in a 3rd person's point of view:
1. Daniel Chong
2. Kelvin
3. Ahma
4. Kim
5. Samuel Lis

Mixed Feelings~

A dark and mysterious presence can be felt.......

The Final Bell has been Rung.............

The authority has stamped the last letter......

The evil voice of enigma echoed through the vast room of highly profound educated gentlemen as they lay on their chairs..............

Smoking cigars while giving an evil grin....

Chorus of cynical laughter can be felt through the air

While shouting MARCH 12!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the evil doomsday has been marked on March 12, the released date for the SPM public examination for us Form 5 leavers. That day, the diabolical education department would released hundred of thousands of results slips BUT we a catch......carefully powdered on the slips are HBOFDP powder (heart-breaking or future determination). When the recipients receive the slip, which is the Education Department ultimate choice is to cause them to be heartbroken. March 12 would be the day where 439,255 will cry or laugh. Either of cry of brokenheartedly or joy. Either laugther of happiness or mockingness. BUT as usual the majority are usually hearbroken, the parents too wil be heartbroken, the relatives would be heartbroken. You see our slips are held in the hands of these diabolical masters of whom we have no control on. The reason why many people fail is so that they remain powerful, POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!1

SPM, STAM results out March 12

PETALING JAYA: The Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) results will be released on March 12.

Education director-general Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom said students would be able to obtain the results after 10am from their schools.

“Private candidates will receive their results through the post,” he said in a statement.

A total of 439,255 students sat for the SPM while 6,522 students sat for the STAM last year.

Alimuddin said an analysis of the results would be announced on the same day.

BEWARE of Alimuddin!!!!!!!


Now SEE this!!!!!

March 12th in History

1917: Izvestia, the official Soviet newspaper, founded
1968: Mauritius, in the Indian ocean island, granted independence after 158 years of British rule
Many Political happenings happen this day!


Don't you see the resemblance, of all the dates why March 12? And not only that, politics is going full force on March 8. Education department is not for BN or DAP Or etc...... They are the SOVIET UNION supporters!!! That explain the "not-democratic" style of teaching in schools. BEWARE!!!!!!

*anders if officially bored.
Disclaimer: this post is just for fun, no offense to any education department officers reading this blog. BUT, btw, i thought that education department are against blogs since their for BN? Haha, so most unlikely i'll get into trouble, if not they're hypocrites. Hehehehe.....
