Uncontrollable Fear while Intense Excitement {HALLOWEEN/BIRTHDAY PARTY}

  Hello and welcome back to reading about my cool experiences that I've encounter in my life. That day was one of the most memorable days, plus its a Halloween/Birthday Party specially dedicated to my friend, Jing Shen!! Even though I wasnt the birthday boy, it was the best birthday party I've experienced.
 It all begins with us going to Sunway Lagoon, the main entrance to the brand new and exclusive "Nights Of Frights!" We were split into 2 groups: Group A which is Jing Shen and all the others going for a game of laser tag, Group B which is me and Loh Jie going for dinner ourselves. We had around 40 minutes to eat so we had to make a quick decision. Sunway Pyramid was so huge we had to choose in the Asian Avenue. We choose --- "Station Kopitiam" . Out of a million shops, we choose that one, we were in a rush so we cant really be choosey. It was pretty mean of us to think how "humiliating" it was to eat there in SUNWAY PYRAMID! We kept on making "Station Kopitiam"-Jokes. We were so demonic.      

~Journey Of Fear~

1. Queuing up to fear

2. The night awakens

3.Entering the Horrors

4. Cooling Off with More Fear

5. Inescapable Panic

6. Anxiety Overload

7.Fun Fear and Wet Rides

8.One Last Scare

19. Ending the Frights

Queuing up to fear- We were excited and afraid at the same time, those emotions mixed together brings unrealized happiness. Before we head in to the streets of horror, all the types of famous horrifying people came to meet and greet. Example: Texas Chainsaw Guy, Jason from Friday the 13th, Some huge ghoul looking thing and the Joker. The Joker was one of the memorable people that night, he let out this "engine starter" laugh that was freakily amusing, but Loh Jie had to mock his laugh and I could see through his awkward expression with his face. But it was okay after we took a picture with him!

                                                   

The night awakens- Being one of the early birds in a theme park haves more excitement rushing through our blood, because you can experience slowly one by one all of the things come to life and they have the maximum energy to output and make out the most scare. They always "None is better than the first", one of the first scares are the best, they feel the intensity, they feel the thrill of the fright, they feel control over our deep dark mind.(This is what I usually do in essays, and I should stop bragging :3)
We went in with full on energy and enthusiasm, the environment was matched so well, you see slowly horrifying beings coming out from the misty fog.
Entering the Horrors- Our first destination was "World War Z", which was kinda main horror house attraction, so it would be logic to go there first. We waited in line, and we were really pumped and scared, then when it was our turn,we just ran inside like kids. But there were too many of us, so we were split into 2 groups. World War Z was essentially just a house full of surprises and zombies coming to "kill" you but not really because they cant touch you, but fear is somehow uncontrollable. Since it would be tiring and pointless to describe every single shiver I let out in there, so I will only point out the memorable moments of the haunted houses. MM= My shoe fell out and I had to quickly put it back on while getting chased by hungry zombies.
Cooling Off with More Fear- After World War Z, our hearts were still pumping, so we needed to relax and take in some air. So they recommended a Flying Ride, those things that go up and down in circles. I am really known with fear and not taking risks, but HEIGHT was one of the main. So I was going to chill myself down, with my fear of heights. Jared was in the "bird" with me, and he was so calm and relaxed, while I was looking in a direct line, not looking down. But it was still really cooling and relaxing(if I didnt look down).
Inescapable Panic- We decided to go the Tomb of the Mummy, which was actually in a short queue, but a magician pursued us into watching his show because it got limited showtimes, while we can go to haunted houses anytime. After half way through the magic show, the queue became longer, which was ok because we got plenty of time left, so we where actually separated and went to the 2nd horror house which was called "Horrorwood Studios". The starting of this horror house was definitely just like the horror games, but just in REAL LIFE. It was a long corridor with light shining at the end, we were all stunned and were holding back. It was hilarious when you think about it afterwards, but while in that situation it was terrifying. But the person made us walk by walking slowly from the dark, they had so much control over our brain.
MM= We saw a zombie in the cage, and Jared wasnt that scared because he thought he was secured in there. But afterwards, the zombie came out and scared Jared half to death, making him fall down and having another zombie behind of him. Jared was sad.
Anxiety Overload- I knew the night was going to be filled fear, but fear just reached its limit that night. I thought it was all haunted houses and scares, but TOMAHAWKS and PIRATE SHIPS just needed to step in. Sunway Lagoon just wont stop with the amusement parks. So we didnt try the rides, EVEN with friends and just waited on the bench with the other life loving people(Means not a risk taker), hearing their screams of excitement. Even Jing Shen, the birthday boy(he is known to be one of the toughest and fearless in our class) himself dont ride these things.
Fun Fear and Wet Rides- Fun Fear really is the name of the Fun Fair, so Im not being lame. But we road some thrilling rides like the Speed Shoes, where it goes like the speed of lightning, and Turning Cups where it makes your head go right round, right round... Im so lame. There were also some wet rides, which I didnt feel like attending because I wasnt really in the mood for extreme heart pumping rides. I was kinda lazy, i wanted fear to motivate me to excitement. MM= Jared, Carlos and I were walking together after that, then we saw a Masked Man with an Axe, he was one of the haunting livings, but he was more unique and interactive, he CHASED us without a sound holding his axe, but Carlos and Jared sneakily run away and left me. They were such "good" friends.
One Last Scare- Its was getting late, and we thought that we hadn't fully finished our scary journey. So we would go to our last haunted house for that night, which was the Tomb of the Mummy which we delayed earlier ago. It was 10:something when we reach there, and we would think that after 3 hours of non stop scaring, they would feel tired. Because at the end of the day, they are still human. So we went in, and we didnt experience it when it was in the early hours, so we cant really tell if they were slacking. But this haunted house was more unique, because there was smoke or fog to make look like sand, and strings to just tangle you up to buy more time for the mummies to get to you. MM= Yen Sheng was the last and left behind by us, while he was tangled up by the strings and a mummy was slowly approaching to him. Yen Sheng was mad.
Ending The Frights- So it was time to end the long awesome tiring night that would never come off our minds, and it was such a hell of a time we had. We took our last pictures and said our goodbyes and hope to come back for a new and improved experience. Thus this is the end of this post and I hope you guys enjoyed to read my post, and thank you! Have a nice weekend.

Ending Experiences

  Hello, I'm finally back to blogging and its been rather long since a post, because (exam business)(nothing to write about)(weekend events). Its now October and I think its time to end the Form 2 experience with a post about what is going on and going to happen until the finale of my experience with my friends. :(
  First of all, our final exam is over and some may say its time to relax and have fun with your friends till the end, but in reality its not really done,-----Results. These are the main point of fearing exams, and I just cant chill with it. Its not really going to be a poor result, its just the paranoia and thoughts from my heads. Kind of like "Fear is an option, Danger is really real."-AFTER EARTH. It also may turn out really great and unexpected, who knows. But the real logic is, why do you worry so much, when its already unfixed and confirmed, it wont do any good, so we should just relax and have fun!
  Next, we have last final event of the year in school which is pretty familiar from last year and its our 2nd APPRECIATION DAY!!! This is annually the last thing for our class to have our last come together for a performance we could never forget, to remember how awesome of a class we are. And its something that I cant really talk much about, because my family is seeing this and I want to make a suprise for them. But what I can only say is that, its a musically dancing type of drama! Which is really special and unique for our class to try out and gain victory in the auditions this Wednesday.
  We are also doing lots of last presentations together that is all individually unique, A puppet show for History, Teaching the classes about Geography, and finally a dramatic presentation for English since 9000 years ago.(Means a very long time..) Ok now this is me actually thinking right  now what to write about for this post, so I think Im done? Since that is pretty much it for what is happening, but this is not the last post, because there will be the news from the auditions next week and the appreciation day itself to talk more about. So yeah, BYE? Yeah, have a nice weekend and thanks for watching this small mini update post, BYE!

A Pool Of Experience ~ Special Guest, "Drama"!

  Hey guys, I'm finally back for another blogpost, and it's been TWO MONTHS since a post which is quite sad, because I looked back at my "Blog Archive" and saw how gradually every year, the number of post is going down rapidly as Niagara Falls.(What a lame simile, but I'm training on using them anyways) But I think I would explain why I've been away at the end of the post, and now I present to you the The Dramatic Archive.

The Dramatic Archive

1- Joining

2- Gaming
3- Acting
4- Frowning
5- Grouping
6- Auditioning
7- Rehearsing
8- Finishing
9- Mistrusting
10- Preparing
11- Failing
12- Retrying
13- COMPLETING!

Before I begin, I want to say this really its explaining the delay of the blogging, and what I have been doing, its a whole recap of my drama class experience and how we all started till the end of our performance at KL PAC (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) during the Malaysia's Teen Carnival. Enjoy!

Joining- So this year, I wanted to choose Drama for our Skills Enhancement, and you can pick others to try for a month only. But I was sure about my choice and stayed there for the rest of the year. To be honest, I've NEVER SEEN Teacher Erica(Our funny and amazing drama teacher :3) before I joined, so I was a little bit afraid, because there were stories about her fierceness and meeting her for the first time. There were a load of us boys from Amber there(with lonely Victoria....)and there were plenty of strangers from 2 Opal. We didnt know what we were about to endure.

Gaming- We played games to get to know each other better and to test and improve skills of drama itself, there are countless of games through out the year so I cant really explain or describe or even remember some of the games, so thats all I can say. (Sorry! I cant make this post too long... *sad face*)

Acting- Other than games, we also had to do some acting! It was fun and we had our struggle on communicating with other people but through out the year, we were getting the hang of it as a class. There was once we needed to act without any emotions or expressions, plus we couldn't talk, it was so funny I couldn't hold my laughter, some good memories.

Frowning- There are always ups and downs in everything we do in a group or team. We werent really that pumped in drama at the quarter start of the year(February-March), because we were so jealous of our friends at Hip Hop, and drama wasnt really that fun as we thought. Teacher Erica was really mad at our "I dont really care" attitude, and wanted us to respond more and have more energy and enthusiasm, so she stormed out of the class. We also needed to think on what to do for the extra 15 minutes and make a choice whether we should or should not apologize.(Some of us thought that she was acting, because of her amazing skills!) 

Grouping- After all the games and activities, we finally start on our big performance project. But first, we organized everyone to different groups to be more easy on people to work on one particular category, and the teachers(Through out the year, there were more teachers to help Tr. Erica, like Tr. Rueben and Tr. Wei Yen) I forgotten some of the groups, so I didnt want to make things look broken, and just move on to the next paragraph!

Auditioning- One of the groups were the "Script Writers", and they are the ones to create the basic storyline and characters. The idea that we all agreed and was satisfied with was the MANNEQUIN idea(those tall looking human statues you see in those fashion/clothing shops).

So these were the groups of characters they created:

1: Footballers

2: Janitors

3: Nobles

4:Know It Alls

5: Witches (Originally Bimbos, but changed due to errors)

Every character in every group is not a "left-over"(KALEFE, in cantonese saying) we all have a purpose in the sketch. So we all had to audition for what group suits us the best. I was selected as a JANITOR. It may sound funny, and a pretty bad character, but our group is one of the main factor of the story.(Mainly my friend, Lim Khang which is one of the main characters)

Rehearsing- After everyone got their groups and characterization (Neither the teachers or the script writers decide what kind of a person or what kind of character we were in the sketch, we decide it ourselves), we rehearsed out parts over and over again, and after a month or 2, we had to stay back at Fridays and Saturdays in the morning at school. There were ups and downs, but at the end, it was a very fun journey practicing with those people.

Finishing- After all the rehearsing, we finished it up with some sort of our sad touching ending. Some of us thought it was funny and was way too cheesy, so some of us just rolled our eyes or looked away looking at teh ending scene, but the teachers said it was a wonderful ending and we needed to blush it up and fix the errors, to make a full watchable product for Theatre Showcase. 

Mistrusting- 2 weeks before the Teen Carnival started, we had to go to Sri Emas for a full run of all the classes' performance, so we had an hour of preparation for the run. During after a practice run, some of us went out to buy food or something, and we didnt know where the others went, so we practically was just waiting around until they came back. Later on, TEACHER ERICA came in with a VERY LONG face, and sat down telling us that we were about to be cut off. WHAT??!!! The reason was that some of the Opal boys went to the football court and I think(Im not really sure what happened) they went secretly went to play football there(We have our ball as a prop, and some times for breaks at rehearsal we play a little bit)

So Teacher Erica didnt trust us with our safety and responsibility, and said we werent ready for KL PAC. But lots of us were devastated and shed lots of tears, then Tr. Erica gave us a second chance of trust.

Preparing- The day was finally here, our doomsday-- no, our Judgement Day, on how all of our effort we put in will end up like. After all the months of training, we were very nervous and a tiny bit of confidence on our play. Sweat dropped down as we put on our costumes and our face paint.(We were the only group with the face paint, which was pretty cool, but some people disliked it, and the name for our show is "A MASK FANTASIA", which was the unique theme of the entire show. The face paint were some what burning and itching at the same time. Cruel moments just for looks. Lucky Footballers.(They didnt need it because they

werent mannequin...)

Failing- There were two shows of two different times for that day, one in the afternoon, and one at night. Logically, people would choose the 2nd show which will be at night, because its the best time for performances and showtimes.(I dont think that much people will be busy at night....) So our first performance, we were nervous but not more than the 2nd, main reasons were our family were not there and the number of people GREATLY changed between the afternoon and the nighttime show. We were really lucky most of our parents choose the 2nd show, because we did AWFUL during the first show. Let me explain from the top. 

The teachers were very busy and stressful, so we didnt have time to do a practice run on the IMMENSE stage. So we had to just straight away perform without any runs at the 1st show. Some of us were quite unclear on where we should come out or go back to, and its was just so messy at the backstage. The cues of the music were out, but the show must go on, we learned but we just were freaking out and didnt really gave out best act out. There was a scene, where I needed to kidnap one of the footballers. I didnt know where to put my props and DELAYED the time for me to come out, so I came in rushing in(Not part of the play), PLUS BUMPING INTO MY FRIEND'S HEAD. So it was a complete disaster.

Retrying- After the 1st show, the teachers gathered all the groups to the stage for a quick brief and feedback from the audience and themselves. Everyone got positive and good feedback, EXCEPT our group and the Form 5 group, "Fractured". At one point, teachers scolded everyone for not being obedient and asking unnecessary questions. We all felt extremely lucky for a second and final chance, especially our group. 

Minutes before the show starts, Teacher Wei Yen found a kid who had tape wrapped around his arms. His arms automatically looked and moved like a mannequin. Teacher then broadcast to everyone to try that out and see what it look and feels like. We all loved it. Our adrenaline bumped up, we felt the excitement. 

"It was now or never."

COMPLETING- Our sweat was colder and went down through our hyped up body much faster. We warmed up how we were gonna look like when we move backstage. Then we only realized, it was our very last time acting together as a team. Then, it was time.

Everything was perfect at the last performance. The music, the cues, the movement, the organization and the ending. It was truly the best performance through out the year. "We did it." We said very happily and tiredly at the same time. We pulled out the tape from our legs and arms excitedly and painfully. It was one of my happiest and most memorable days of my life.(Sometimes, being cliche is necessary.)

But Drama is not going anywhere just yet, we still normally have drama classes every Tuesday but just ended on the big heavy rock we were lifting all those months, the rock is finally up.

I'm really happy that I could finish this post in time and let you guys look at my experience in Drama through out the year, performing on a stage, in KL PAC, with hundreds of strangers, friends and especially my family to see our long hard work. Thanks for being so patient to see this post, thats all I want from you people. 

See you next time!!

                                                               

Theme Day- SHIPWRECKED!!! Best One Yet!

  Hey guys, and today I am going to just give a brief on my exam first, because last post, I said I was going to cover that too, but I forgot :3. I did the "Teach your 'Kids'" Thing like last year, and it worked out quite well. Its just me teaching my soft toys about the subject while revising for the test. :3
  Now we get to the main part of this post, THEME DAY STROKED AGAIN!! Its the 1st Theme Day of the year, and my 3rd Theme Day of my life(Theme Day #1 {E.T.})(We dont have Theme Day #2, because I didnt write about it and had no time and memory.). And this year's theme was Shipwrecked!. We came up with "Survivors from Sea", which was us dressing up as blood-coated survivors with bruises and scars. Not to be too cheesy, WE LOOK BADASS!! I will be posting a picture a the bottom of the post to let our BADASS SHINE!! (I'm the lamest person in the world...)
  Like I said for 2013, I want to make post, fast and easy to read, not long dull draggy post without any pictures like last time . So lets begin! I will first tell you the process of our lovely deadly costumes, which was quite cheap for such a cool looking prop. First, they went to "Giant" and bought 25 blank white T-Shirts. Then we also brought a pail and red color paint. We filled the pail up with water and also poured the red paint to mixed with it, to produce our BLOOD!!! Then we use our hands or feet to dip into the pail full with blood, and use our creativity to edit our own Survivor Shirt.
  I had some amazing plans and designs for my shirt, but it was messed up by Tracy's shirt dripping blood on mine, totally bloody on one side of it. I felt really disappointed  that time, but my friends said that it looked more natural and cheered me up.
 Of course, we didnt create our shirts ON the Theme Day, but we did the Scars and Bruises and Holes before the Theme Day started. After the all the extra blood lining and shirt cutting, we finally went up to the Activity Hall to experience Theme Day with LOTS OF CLASSES. There were too many classes, so it was split into 2 sessions, we got the early one which was incredibly lucky. I'm also NOT GOING TO COVER on all other classes's theme, because its going to make it tough for me to remember all of them and you to get interested enough to carry on reading.
  We walked into the activity hall with LOTS OF SHOUT AND HATE. And we had no idea why, and thought that we were what lame to them and didnt care, but the "BOO"s were because 2 CLASSES DID THE EXACT SAME THING! Same white T-shirts(But their aren't fully blank but with some other words) with blood stains(Less Bloody...) and also some bruises and small broken holes. But we all agreed ours were better with the amount of blood we got, we were much more **NOTICEABLE**.
  We played our FIRST of TWO games, which was kinda like a "Teacher Hunt" and all of the classes got their own hints of the teacher we need to hunt. It was pretty fun, and we were quite of a rush on getting our victory and moving on, so we didnt really do much thinking and just went with what ever we guess. Now there will also be a penalty for not getting the right teacher, well the penalty is what ever the teacher's penalty paper says. We got the question:" This teacher is another word for Voski." Of course, the first and only thing that we need to search is Voski, and it turned out to be Gold! We make 2 dumb guess for Tr. Jaqueline (Sounds like Voski?) and Tr. Ying Shing (We thought it sounded like gold in Chinese)  and failed, so I remember we did the Macarena and Chicken Dance. The final answer was Tr. Kin San, our vice president, and her name was Gold in Hokkien, I think.
  Our second and final game or activity, is to create an invention for what ever specific on the paper give by teachers using only materials all around the school. Every class's paper has the same objectives.
"An invention to hunt down food"
"An invention to call for help"
"An invention ........"(FORGOTTEN)
  Im so sorry but I kind of forgot on how what materials we used on the inventions and I dont want it to be really memory based on my experience, so Im just not going to tell you about the inventions we made :( , but I think its ok because its not really important. But let me fully explain about this game, is every class can give tokens to the other classes if they like their invention, and the most tokens given class is the winner and gets the grand prize of this year's Theme Day.
  We thought we were just puny ants against the whole school, they all got such great ideas and creations, and we didnt really care about winning so we just sat around after our invention was done(Pretty early because it was pretty quick based.) When the clock hit noon,everyone had to stop and we awaited for the results of the 2 winners, one for Best Dressed n Best Invention.
  When they announced the results, 5 Opal won Best Invention which we werent really high-spirited, didnt really gave a crap and Best Dressed goes to 2 Amber! Oh how nice, a class from our batch, I didnt really payed much attention, lets us confirm who won, asks friends, "Umm, I think we won." All of us responded with dullness, and looked around, we won. WE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!! WOOHOOO  This is not an example, dream or joke, it really happened, we won Best Dressed!!! We started screaming with excitement and rushed to get our prize. 5 Opal and our class got our prizes in a special gunny sack of wonders. Inside was surprisingly FRUITS (which are fresh apples and grapes in packets) and some delicious sweets and chocolate!(Chocolate Coins in a box and chocolate brands such as Tolberone and Mars etc.)
  We had no idea we would win with such simple and cool ideas, and we played along for the rest of that pleasant day. We were just crazy with the apples and grapes, chocolate was just overrated.
  That was mainly the great first Theme Day of the year, we hope we would never forget our first victory against half of the whole student body. Here is a picture of our theme day!! 

Tune in until next time for a whole entire holiday montage for this 2 week fun packed holiday!!

But first I will introduce a new system, I would like to call:" The Main Station" Which is to let the reader know all the main things and what they want to look at, because some people like me dont like finding what they want to look at a messy long paragraph or post. :( So this is a new improvement!

  So as every trip would start, we would go to the airport and do all the boring stuff and until we are reach the airplane. There is where our true story starts. 

The Arrival- We arrived Bandung at night, which is not really like my other trips, so we thought it would be safe if we just hired a temporary driver to our hotel that night. So at the entrance of the airport, there he was, the our driver holding up a name: "Lee Yi Wen!" We were shocked, because we were expecting like either my father or my mother's name or something. After we changed our money to Rupias(RP which is Indonesian Money, RM1=RP 3000+), we got to our van and started to go for a ride around the town we were in. After some glimpses of the place, we finally got to our hotel, "Novotel", which happens to be one of the best hotel in that area.
Sweet Hotel- It was a holiday miracle to have such a nice and comfortable hotel. We even have televisions to almost all our favorite "Astro" channels. But what bothered me when we step in to our rooms, is after we stored power using our keys, our televisions just turned on with really strange scary music(No disrespect to the Indonesians, :3) After the long journey, we finally got some shuteye.
TO THE VERY NEXT DAY!!BAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAM
First Look- We started off our trip and my father's birthday by recognizing the area we were in, looking into the malls and shops nearby, and bought the starter things of all Indonesia!
Good Shopping- As always I wouldnt take part of participating the choices of fashion, because first, I HAVE NO SENSE OF FASHION, and I CANT PICK MY OWN things.(Because I think everything is OK.) I will just come into the shop with them and search for a "Shoes" corner, because there is ALWAYS a stool or a chair. But still we did some good shopping on some "batiks" and "handicrafts".
The Effort- Ive realized something really special about Bandung or entire Indonesia itself, the people there would do anything they could think of to earn money for their families. During a traffic light stop, I saw some people walking around with FULL SILVER PAINT on them(Inspiration of The Gold Man, which gave me a heart attack when I first saw them. Some people even show their talent, singing on the streets with their guitars.
The Touching- But one of the most unforgettable moments of the trip is when a group of little boys, who earn money by supplying umbrellas or even holding the umbrella for us when the rain came. It started off, when a heavy rain just appeared when we were shopping, and the group just came running near the mall. It was a VERY HEAVY RAIN, and to them is just like swimming in the pool, so they just come up to us, with their faces of pity, so we gave them the money and we went across the streets of "safety". They didnt care about getting hit by rain, because money is so much more important to them than health. The funny part, is when I almost lost my 2 slippers when going across the road with extreme water, but one of the members of the group, ran all the way towards the road and grabbed it for me. I WAS EXTREMELY THANKFUL!
Earth Hour- After all the drama at the afternoon, we head back to our hotel for dinner, and we only realized it was EARTH HOUR that night, and there is a NIGHT CLUB specially performing in that hour. So it was a better mood and event for the ending of my father's birthday. After the talk of why we celebrate Earth Hour, they opened up the barbeque tray, and we happily eat while night club sang great songs beautifully in the dimming restaurant with sentimental candles.
The Birthday Song Fail- After the earth hour, they requested what is our favorite songs to end off the night, well the other table said some Indonesian song, but my dad was already outside smoking cigar(He is not a FREQUENT smoker as a reminder, :]), so my mom ordered my sis to inform the band to sing the birthday song, but my sis quarreled and said why dont I go or Mummy because she is my dad's wife. But the quarreling was not finished until they already started packing their things. So it would be REALLY RUDE to tell them to perform by then, so it was a GREAT FAILURE.
TO THE VERY NEXT DAY!!BAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAM
Personal Driver- So the journey to unique different places of Bandung starts here, by meeting our personal driver- Dedi! At first we thought we heard "Daddy", but his uniform spelled it for us. First we thought that we were going to have a dull quiet shy driver with a little communication problems, because Bahasa Malaysia is 70% of Bahasa Indonesia, but he happens to speak English and he is very talkative with all of us and is willing to here how Malaysia is compared to Indonesia(By my Father!).
The Shock- Our first destination was a volcano, that we thought was the famous "White Crater Lake" which happens to be dead. But the Perahu volcano we actually went was another famous volcano which we did not been noted about, and happens to be SLEEPING!(A sleeping volcano is alive but not active.) We were shocked to hear this when we were already going up the mountain. Dedi felt a little embarrassed to let us down.
My First Volcano Experience?- No. This is not my first volcano, because I've visited Mount Fuji in Japan when I was FIVE YEARS OLD. So I had no idea how that volcano was, :(, but now Im bigger with greater memory storage, I can now fully experience this volcano. The volcano acts like a big wok with gray steaming soup(Lava?), with lots of sulfuric stench.
A helpful friend-  Dedi wasn't only a driver, he was a friend. He helped us take some pictures and he was very pleasant. He did way better stuff afterwards so I will get there.
Unstoppable effort- Now there are a few ways of earning money in Indonesia. Either you do some crazy helpful things, your amazing hidden talent. But this kind of effort to earn money gets on my nerves - "Never Take NO for an answer!" This will be one of the most dumb ideas of a salesman. If the customer doesnt want that product, you should just say:"No problem! Come back next time for a better product. Enjoy your day!" But at the Perahu Volcano, there were people walking around, introducing handicrafts, haematide keychains and jewelry and other stuff, we said we werent interested and still they keep asking to take a look at it and pretty cheap. To them, our "non-interest" is not having a cheaper price, so they keep making it lower and lower and lower. It was truly annoying and making the customers even more angry. To the extend we finally both some some haematide keychains and wristbands(Which happens to help BLOOD CIRCULATION? Said by the salesman.) But those haematide accessories looked pretty badass. So it was worth buying, but still very unstoppable effort.
Meet Lenny- We came across a (mask and ???)-seller with a ton of them hanging on fences over the ledge. My dad saw these scary looking wolf masks, which would look cool for presentations in school. But it was quite itchy. So I saw the CUTE SIDE of the fence, with lots of adorable wolfies, rabbits and sheeps on hats. I bought the cutest Snow Wolf hat there possible, and named him "Lenny"!
Just Relaxing(Hot Spring!)- After the volcano sighting, we went for a relaxing hot spring at about noon. It was just like every normal hot spring. Only descriptions possible- "Very Hot." But here is the only special part, Dedi was helping us guard the begs and stuff WHILE helping us make memories(Taking pictures! :3)
He needed to a few trips back and fro to take some closes ups or different angles of pictures. The picture taking wasnt neccesary, but it was a very kindful thing for Dedi to do.
Just some strawberry farm- To be honest, the only cool place that day was the Perahu Volcano. Because this strawberry farm is all out of business.(No more strawberries to pluck or see. :( ) So basically we just wasted our journey here. Dedi didnt come with us so we sticked around and found something to eat.(Actually my mom and sis went to the toilet, while I ate this Indonesian Otak-Otak which was this small fish piece without ANY TASTE and Malaysian Otak-Otak is spicily delicious. And that was the end of the 3 trips in Day 2!
TO THE VERY NEXT DAY!!BAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAMBAM BAM BAM
The Beauty- Early in the morning(9am, LOL!), Dedi brought us to the Magnificent, Well Knowned "White Crater Lake"!! It was I think the best place on Bandung, because it was really THE BEST SCENERY I've seen in my whole vacation history. Im quite good at describing things that I imagine, but for reality, Im real bad at it. So this is my description of the White Crater Lake: It was greenish blue, we were up high but the sun was kind and didnt let its light ruin the beauty. It was like heaven's pool of wonders. But in reality, one finger down the pool instant vapour to your hands. The scary steam floated up from the crater. It was White Crater. That turned out to be quite nice, but still it was the best picture for a fornt cover on this post. Hopefully in the future, I can upload the picture for you all to see, or GOOGLE IT!
The Magnificent White Crater Lake
A memorable friend- After having a great lunch, we head back to our hotel and needed to say Good Bye and Thank You to Dedi because that was the end of our journeys. Why only one place for a day? Well because going to White Crater takes 2 HOURS 3O MINUTES to reach, so going to White Crater+The time taken at White Crater +Stopping by to get lunch+Getting back to the hotel, takes about EIGHT HOURS(2HR30MINS+2HR+1HR+2HR30MINS=8HR). But Dedi was a friend hard to forget for all his effort on making us happy!
The suffering of my sister- My sister went through a painful process at the last night of our trip. We didnt know about what's happening to her until we reached home, and found out that her intestines are swollen. But still no reason for it yet. But she was in deep pain that night, and we couldnt really do anything about it.
THE LAST DAY!!
Good Bye!- So that was it for the Bandung trip, I will never forget the effort the people give to earn money, the spectacular taste of Indonesia's good food, and our great and helpful friend, Dedi. 
The Huge "Miss-sick" Begins After! (What's a Miss-sick?)

I hope you guys like this vacation post other than the earlier ones. Because this kind of blogging is a VERY GOOD AND NICE TO READ method. I will be doing these more often so I will see you guys next time!
The Great White Crater!

New News.Good News.Old News. Bad News.

  Hey guys, and from the title, as you know I will be giving out some great, new and bad news. Excluding the "Old news" because it sounds very catchy. I actually delay last week and instead finished my CNY post. But I at least get to tell you guys right now. I watched my first "illegal movie"(18+ even though not that age yet.), it was MAMA  a horror film, with my sister and her new college friends. I was invited to come test with her if watching a ghost movie, would give you nightmares that night for Pyschology. I am not really scared of ghosts and scary creatures, because they all are pretty typical, and the only reason I close my eyes or something like that, is for the POP OUT. It just really gets you every time, even when I watch a horror film the second time, the POP OUT again. So I didnt get the nightmare, is not because I didnt think that MAMA was scary(But overall, a good horror film, check it out!), but is just not a true fact.
  More news, I had won a Gaming/Entertainment Headphones which is very unexpected to actually get. here is the story, I actually had a Day Out with my Dad to watch movies and have some fun. After watching Journey To the West(A famous Chinese Legend-西游记) by famous actor and producer from China(Stephen Chow) Official Trailer of Journey To the West we saw this new promotion for "Armaggeddon" a gaming company that sells very good and helpful gaming and entertainment gear. 

  And we just looked around, and we saw these headphones that caught our eye, so we tried them, and they are fairly clear for their prices, and there was one that was very nice and super clear, and it costs A LOT, I remember it was RM599, but the site doesnt say ANY of the prices... But here is the "Very Good" one, Avatar Pro X7.  But there were 2 more lower quality and lower prices. One was RM199, Avatar Pro X5, and the other one was RM169(The Cheapest!), Avatar ZX100. So we tried them on(My meaning of tried them on, is because at the promotion, they gave us "Headphone Try Out" Stands, and there were 3 with the 3 different headphones.)  And we heard there was an auction going on, so we stayed longer, and there was an auction for Trooper Bag, NightHawk KAI-3 Keyboard and Avatar ZX100. So my father stayed and see if he got a chance, then during the headphone auction, he quite liked them, and just gave them a go. "RM135" He said, and no one else answer, so WE GOT THE HEADPHONES!(MY mind was CHEERING!!) I was shocked, that we got it, and I didnt complain, and yeah, I WAS SO EXCITED. And now we got our new headphones..YEAH!!!
  MORE NEWSSSS!! I would like give my blog a BRAND NEW LOOK and some NEW GADGETS for my blog and get rid of some USELESS GADGETS, because back when I was a newbie at blogging, I just put any gadget that I thought was cool. And also, starting from this post, I would also like to leave all pictures at very end of the post to be more tidier. 
  Now news about school, now I think I mention about my school having "Skills Enhancement" and that is to well, Enhance your Skills. And there are always the 4 choices(Drama, Hip Hop, Art n Design and Vocal Training) at the start of January, then solid till the end of the year. So I joined Drama this year, last year was Hip Hop, and this year's Hip Hop teacher was changed! From Tr. Simon to Tr. Dylan, The BATTLEGROUND RUNNER-UP WINNER!! No i cant find solid proof, because I didnt actually get full information and website proof, so I will tell you guys next week. 
  In Drama, we have Tr. Erica a VERY GOOD ACTOR and she is part of the "Tham Family" who are responsible and orgins of Sirius Scholar, Ace Edventure and Sri Emas. She teaches all of our drama student how to act very GOOD, and I mean FANTASTIC!  They even go up on stage(Theatre Showcase, is a annual event to let parents and outsiders see what the school can change your kid to become a MEGA ACTOR. But last year, at Hip Hop, we didnt really like it, because it was a FULL DANCE, and it kept changing, so it really wasnt that fun, so we saw a lot of Drama students really having fun with their games and activities and acts. 
  So we joined it this year, but turns out we get the "Boring" stuff first, because our Theatre Showcase is at July. So we need to buff up our "serious business" before we get to the fun stuff. So we are working on our monolouge where we need to write our own short script and we need to act to ourselves. Either we think there is an imaginary person there, or we talk to ourselves. And I made a mistake, because at first I didnt thought we were to ACT IT OUT. But teacher said that AFTER we did the monolouge, so I wanted to change it, because my script is about a person who has never been alone in a group work, and now have no idea how to do his work without help. But here is the thing, I CANT act depressed or sad. I can act happy, crazy and just positive characters. But Tr. Erica refused to let me change, she said it was a good script with a creative ending, and her friend that visited our Drama class, also said it was Pure Drama quality. But I still dont like it to be ME to act it, but overall I still like to monolouge. But I thought to myself, it was SKILLS ENHANCEMENT, so I need to give it a try. So we will see this week, if I can perform. :P
  One more news is that in 2 weeks time, I will be having my FIRST TEST and it will be a part of "The Decision"(To SKIP TO FORM 4!!) So I better get revising and studying hard!!
  There are no more news to say about really, I well not be posting next week, because my father and us are going to Indonesia, Bandung for his Birthday Trip!! And here are the possible pictures and can put up!

A "Water-Snake" CNY!

  Hey guys, and I just came back from my parents' hometowns, Melaka and Johor. And I got as usual A TON OF ANG PAUS(Red Packets). Now not to be rude to the CNY lovers, I thought that this year was ALMOST THE SAME as every year. But it wasn't typical, because this year, its the year of the snake, and some snakes live in the water, thats why this year was a RAINY CHINESE NEW YEAR! But I wish that I could make every CNY fun and unique, or not if we keep on the typical (meet,greet,open palms,ang pau recieved! - short example) CNY routine, it will get boring.
  I know for the adults, they get to meet their "long time no see" siblings and relatives, and they get to talk about lots of things, they get to gamble, they get to compare their children with each other("Your son is VERY skinny, he should eat more!", "My daugther got 3As, 3Bs, 3Cs", "He is SO TALL now!", "She is very pretty now!"), if you know what I mean.... But for us teenagers, we do not have that much to talk about, and for the invention of electronics and video games, it some how ruins the mood of CNY, last time when we were small, we were so happy to meet our cousins and play together. We got so much to play, either we play the "Try not to laugh","Continue the random sentence","Hambuger(Another version of Rock, Paper, Scissors.)". I also remember us telling ghost stories at night, but some of the stories had a funny twist, turning it into comedy.
  It was "True Fun", but now its just us on a bed, playing IPad games, then we would get interrupted by our relatives giving us an Ang Pau, then we would greet them, nd back to the game. Then we would have a moment(An hour or so...) of electronics, either we play games(The bois), or take pictures together or ourselves.(The gurls) 
  It really wasnt that of a special chinese new year, but overall it still was great to meet our cousins again and get to bond with each other more. My guy cousins from the Melaka Side is much bigger than me now, even though I grew taller, and they now get "serious" on how they look, and definitely DO NOT LIKE to get touched on the hair. Because they are starting to have girl crushes and all, to the age of impressing girls and going in the showing-off zone. More special things is that the rate of people calling me skinny and taller has grown, and my orginal math teacher(Tr. Tick Siang) needs to leave the school because he needs to get back to his father's company(Not sure why...), and our new teacher, Tr. Amos(Yes, its the Amos from Famous Amos :D) and I think he is the youngest teacher in the whole building.
THAT IS IT FOR THIS WEEK'S POST, AND I AM STILL WORKING ON MY NY SOLUTIONS, ANYWAYS HAVE A GREAT FRESH WEEK!
