Thailand - Chungling Interacting Day

Oh yeah, that's the national flag of Thailand alright.

Today around 40 students from Thailand came to our school (CLHS).  They were from 4 different schools that I didn't bother to remember the names 'cause they were so damn hard to pronounce.  

Around 14 of us were asked to help out with the team building and ice-breaking session. The Chinese Orchestra members were there too, around 70 of em. We actually wanted to let the last ice breaking game to bring them high, but turned out the CO members turn high p.r.e.t.t.y easily. Before the ice breaking started they were already on ecstasy mode.  Much like the scouts their high bar is quite short, some music then they're on air d. 

Anyway, first we had a game where all the participants get a small slip of paper with a word, it's either animals or characters. ec. Michael Jackson, Superman, Fish, Pig and so on.

So what they had to do was act out what they're given without making any sound, then find the team members with the same criteria. 

It was amazingly amazing to see people 'moonwalk'ing all around the hall. xD

Anyway, no pictures for now, I'll upload the pictures once I get them from Jack Jin.

emo education.

Nowadays we hear the word 'emo' alot, no matter in school or outside of school. Many people think emo stands for emotional, actually the concept isn't entirely true.

So now, let's have some emo education.

 aka emo ed.

An Insight on EMO

Emo....joke?

Pictures speak louder than words, for those of you who don't understand what's emo ( I don't think there is) you should get the idea now.

SO how did the 'emo culture' originate?

Here.

WHAT IS EMO?

VERSION ONE
The original emo was short for emotive-hardcore, a subgenre of 1980's DC punk. Some of these bands were Moss Icon, Rites of Spring, and Dag Nasty. These kids were closely tied to punk. The few existing "original" emos dress like nerds with sweater vests and dress pants.

VERSION TWO
This one came up in the early 90's. These kids wear tight shirts and old, cut-up jeans. They have messenger bags and carry around a notebook to write poetry. They have black rimmed glasses and are "over-emotional" but NOT whiny. They get the most down about relationships. They enjoy the arts and reading in-depth books. They have many opinions and often talk about them. They usually hang out in coffee shops. They listen to pretentious or acoustic music.

VERSION THREE
This one came about around the mid-2000's. They have blogs and they whine about everything. They dye their hair with cheap black hair dye. Their hair is messy, greasy, and has side-swept bangs. Their clothes are much like the previous version, only they have a larger emphasis on band tee's and they have started wearing skinny jeans. They love Chuck's and Van's. They listen to pop-punk music and adore Hot Topic. Self-harm is a pretty recent addition to "Emo".

WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
Many say the first Emo album was Husker Du's Zen Arcade back in 1984. This actual Emo music managed to stay popular with "Emo" people until about 1999 at which point the media stole this term to describe bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World. These became the bands for the next version of Emo. Around 2006 they began to get confused with goths.

WHY IS IT SO POPULAR?
That just became a trend, to be unique. When a lot of people think "unique" they think "unpopular". That is what Emo was before and now it's just a "popular" thing to do when you are "hurting".

The emo ed lesson now comes to an end.

We hope you've gained valuable information and put the knowledge to good use.

Thank you.

what the.

New header.

It's freaking 2.55 a.m. in the morning and I just finished my header.

pheew.

It took me long enough, 'cause my photoshop was sitting on my dock there for at least a couple of months collecting dust. (if there is dust virtually) 

I Love photoshop,

But my Laziness just overtakes the Love.

Well, I hope you guys like the new header, all the photos are taken by me, I didn't steal anyone's photos so chill. 

=)

P.S.  I CAN'T GET THE FREAKING CANCER THINGY OFF MY HEADER! I'M NOT EVEN A CANCER!        help! yikes. 

Yes! Yes! Update!

Yes, you can't believe it, I can't believe it,

I'm updating.

You've probably noticed the change in my background, from the previous emo one (which for some reason joey likes) to the more, cheerful one. =) It hurts throwing away my work, the background was created by me, using approximately 10 minutes, it breaks my heart, but I have to discard it. =(

I feel really bad for leaving my blog to rot after typing more than a hundred posts.

SO,

I'm going to start AFRESH!  

*echoes*                                           afresh   afresh   afresh .......

Actually I'm inspired by two blogging maniacs, looking at their blog makes me wanna blog. And of course people like them use a large portion of their time to blog,(Like they have nothing better to do)

the duo:

and

Their blogs are quite interesting, with a mixture of the 'siao'-ness of CLHS and also some other stuff, drop by to check out. =)

Recently I've noticed ( who hasn't) that quite a number of people are owning dslrs in CLHS, as well as other schools, from around my age group, at least. It's encouraging to see so many people are into photography now.

2 years ago when i got my dslr, 

if I stood in the centre of the school and shout,

14-50mm macro lens on sale! F1.0 ! RM400

most students will say: "Siao ar, don't know what he's crapping about."

Now if I do the same thing,

most students will still say: " Siao ar,"

but the remaining sentence will be : " where got so cheap price one?...you 'gang' who?

irony, but still, encouraging. nonetheless. 

Our school's leos are mostly made up of photography enthusiasts.

according to some leo guy.

anyway, in a nutshell I'm gonna try to revive this blog. woot, happy me.

And get my dslr back from my cousin *glares*

emo rants.

Lately I've found out that I might have multiple personality disorder.

ok

just kidding.

 still, undoubtedly sometimes I act this way, sometimes i act that way.

it's like, this is what you SHOULD do,

but that's what you WANT to do.

And to turn away from what I WANT to do to what I SHOULD do.

is never easy.

It's weird how stuff in this world works.

You walk,

You fall.

Get up and walk,

and fall again.

Man, is there a possibility of not falling?

I guess not,

but well, with God nothing is impossible.

But is it possible to push away what you feel because it's not right?

It's been bothering me,

that I shouldn't feel what i do feel, because it's, 

well, i don't even know if it's right or wrong.

crap.

now i sound like a kid who doesn't now how to differentiate right and wrong.

Doing something you don't really want to do but have to do.

great.

oh great, now i just found out that I just emoly ranted.

fate *scoffs*

It's been a while since I blogged.

Well, I didn't feel like blogging, with so many stuffs piling up,

but then one of my friends wrote in his msn personal message :

It's Fate.

What the heck.

it sorta pissed me off for a reason I don't know.

Just looking at the words made me all heated up.

And that explains why I'm blogging now.

I don't believe in fate.

not for a single second in my life.

The word 

'It's Fate'

are for people who cannot take the fact that they lost something.

Since they have nothing to blame, and not wanting to blame themselves, they blame fate.

I don't believe in fate,

but I pity it. taking the blame for everything.

the generation before us always says: 'Aiya, it's (so so) eh "mia li" la. cannot blame one.'

'Mia li lai la, got then got, don't have will never have.'

btw, mia li is fate in hokkien.

crap la.

I have no idea why I'm pissed by this fate thingy.

serious.

what we do affect what we get.

ha. 

Life's awesome.

I can't wait to know how it's gonna work out.

Life's awesome,

if you grasp the opportunities.

2more days, 2more days, i can do it.

Man, a week of lonely 10.15 pm(s)

will you still be there?

I suggested it,

but you don't know how hard it was to make it come out from my mouth.

complicated simplicity.

雨后天晴

很多时候，事情很简单。

但是当事者就是看不见。

笑一个。＝）

Sometimes things are simple,

but we tend to complicate it,

until we find out how simple it is,

it's a struggle.

smile. =)

times up.

恩，时间到了。
