Beijing Summer Camp 2012

Image
This year’s Beijing Summer Camp held on the 17 th ~26 th of July in the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) was the greatest camp I’ve ever been to. When we arrived in the BFSU, it was already midnight so we just checked into our rooms but I was so excited that I didn’t get tired and decided to stay up for a little while longer.  Without noticing that the sun rises earlier in the summer, I stayed up until I thought morning had already begun. Some of my friends woke up too and we were totally restless so we decided to have a walk around the school. As soon as we got out of our dorms, we saw plenty of beautiful places like the canteen, the hall and even the field but there was no one else around as the others were still sleeping while some other campers had still not arrived at the BFSU yet. Well, everyday day was better than the last and I am speechless about this amazing camp.             This camp really taught...

Unwasted Holidays

Image
    This Saturday, my school's Boy's Brigade is going to bring us to the 2012 PESTA and Singapore and I am going to go on a vacation for eight days. YEA! So awesome and I can also have the pleasure of seeing performances from other BB companies without participating in any of the competitions. I have never been to Singapore before and long to see the wonders there.  (+_+)       BUT........ I still have a lot of holiday homework to finish. So busy that I spend 4 days finishing it and still very busy. Fortunately, when I get bored of doing homework, I am able to play a short game or watch videos which are about 5 minutes. Today, I have at long last finished my home work. YES!!! * I want to thank my parents for letting me go to PESTA. THANK YOU!!!

Olympiad Maths -___-'''

Image
Wow! I got into the Olympiad Maths in school but I totally don't understand anything the teacher has talking about for the past two months. I'm so messed up with all the algebraic expressions, integers, polynomials, monomials and everything and my brain is going to explode. Fortunately, my dad is able to help out by a lot but  I realized that I still have to go into memorizing some methods of solving Olmpiad Maths questions. Oh, all this Maths is   driving me crazy. I've got absolutely no idea what  I am learning too. Except for some expanding formulas I know nothing about this T___T  But looking on the bright side, it helps me understand what I currently learn in the normal level of Maths. Integers for Form One has become so much easier to understand with Olympiad maths. Olympiad Maths is so supreme until I feel like it is the study of a genius but it turns out that I am wrong. My dad said that they learned about integers when they were only in Standard ...

The Clarinet

Image
Tomorrow is Sports Day and I will be part of the Boy's Brigade marching band. I would have expected to play the flute but last Saturday the instructor said the way I hold the flute wasn't so nice and the marching band couldn't go for the competition if I played the flute. He suggested me to be thrown into the B flat soprano clarinet section T_T Seriously, I had been going into all sections of the woodwind. Oh yes, the clarinet isn't too hard to play but I heard that it is costly. I have tried it and can play until my "La" but I don't have my own reed. I guess I'll just be tucking the clarinet under my lips and make a big show tomorrow   =D

Counter Strike and DoTa

Image
My school is filled with activities. This week it is IT Week and there are fun challenges designed by the IT Brigadiers. There is a IT treasure hunt and I think the prizes are luminous awesome. I've heard that the winning group the last year was awarded a pen drive each member. However, there are more interesting activities organized by them. There is a Counter Strike competition on in the school this Thursday. It is open to groups of people in five and the entrance fee for the whole group sums up to RM40 (o.O). It's expensive but the prize this year is a laptop which goes to the victorious gamers. Counter Strike is like a first-person shooter video game and there is a side objective of planting a time bomb to win the game or defusing it before the team's death.There is also a DoTa game which I recently knew about and I think only pro-gamers join after an Internet research (my opinion is this game is a little bit unholy).It seems to be about a group of hereos called...

Let's Be Friends

Image
 My school is currently observing the Religious Week. This week everybody goes to Chapel according to their religions (Buddhists, Hindus, Malays and Christian). As I am a Christian I head for the church and learn about friends. Who are friends?There are false friends. Friends who say,"I will be your friend if you will....."  There are three rules of becoming friends with this kind of person: (1) you must be of a certain family background, (2) you must be of certain intelligence with that friend, (3) you have a certain admirable ability. It is impossible to be friends or make friends if you have such character. So what happens without these rules? Can you make friends without these rules? The answer is yes. The friends who do not apply theses rules are simply friends who can last and be trusted. These are the type of friends who do not expect anything from you. No matter what your family background may be, how bad you are at your studies or how untalented you ar...

Flute 01

Image
       I haven't been posting anything for 3 weeks or more and this blog seems to be getting dusty. *Cough*                     This year, I joined the Boy's Brigade in my school. When I  first joined the Boy's Brigade I tried the saxophone but there was not enough ligatures. I waited for it until last week. I decided to change to the flute. The flute I was given was labelled FL01 .        The flute is rather light compared to my Tenor saxophone. It is an aerophone unlike the other woodwind instruments in this brass band.         I can hardly make any sound with the flute. I hope practice makes perfect. It is such a nice instrument and I can blow through the mouthpiece bit by bit but when I attach it to the whole thing I get nervous when pressing the buttons and forget how to blow it.         I keep on whistling due to accidents but...
