Just not long ago I payed a visit to Vietnam, the country which had been into a number of big wars before that caused mass causalities. Despite it, this country is gradually recovering from the bloodbath, and it has become a country of delicacies. Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam, but Ho Chi Minh City (previously known as Saigon) is the largest, so I chose to go to Ho Chi Minh City.
Ho Chi Minh city is swarmed with motorbikes. It is impossible to not encounter one on the streets. The hectic streets of Ho Chi Minh resound with the beeping sounds of the abundant number of cars. The citizens of this metropolis seemed to be already familiar with these screeching noises, as they don't even utter a word about the noise pollution. The streets there are also somewhat clean, as the security guards sweep the floor when they have nothing to do. This city is laden with tourists all over the world, ranging from America to China, which made tourism a major income for the country.
Due to this city being a tourist site, some of the souvenirs and food here are ridiculously expensive. To prevent being exploited, one must know the market prices of the items. To buy coffee, magnets and other stuff, I would recommend the bazaar of Ho Chi Minh. There are about 200 stores in this bazaar selling a variety of items, so there are plenty of things to choose from. As a tourist in this city, you must be wary of some hawkers here that might increase the price by tenfold. If not, your pocket will burn a hole immediately.

Christmas
20 more days to the holy day of holiness. Like I said, I thought my parents wouldn't give me presents, but I found out they were, which is pretty shocking. I thought they were going to give me some books and deodorant, but it turns out I'm getting a pretty amazing keyboard and an earphone. I only have 1 word to say.
Awesome.
The keyboard has 1 function that most keyboards don't have, that is it can be fold into half, quarters, you name it. It has more than 108 different sounds, and it can connect to the computer. Sweet. I'm just glad my parents get me a gift. I remember 3 months ago they said we aren't going to celebrate as we're not Christians. I told them that's not the point. I think they understood what I meant.
Christmas was exciting for the last few years. I got a bunch of model, Lego , and a Nintendo Wii. Even though we don't have a Christmas Tree, we don't mind at that point, as we got our gifts. Luckily Christmas isn't Children's day. You still get to celebrate Christmas after 13, as long there are people sending you gifts.
People say you can only get presents on two special days, that is your birthday and Christmas. If you want me to choose which I prefer the most, I would choose Christmas without doubt. Christmas is the best day of best days. Who can resist Christmas?
Anyways, Christmas is near, the gifts as well. I guess I would just have to say, Merry Christmas to Everyone for no reason. At all.

Title Removed Due To No Good Ideas
Do not mind the title up there. Usually I have a ton of lists for titles, but something distracts me from thinking, like this video I'm listening right now.
I can see why people call me random. I'm easy to distract and manipulate. If I was a chess piece, I would be the pawn.
Back to the main reason I wrote this blog
Holiday is boring, especially when someone confiscates your charger for the laptop. So basically I just lay on the couch like a potato. A deformed potato. But when I saw my cousin's website, I was amazed and stunned. Although he is still in high school (In England), he started to run a small business that earned a lot of profit for him. He even made a video in Youtube to advertise his business.
His business inspired me to do a lot more this holiday. Something tells me that playing games all day isn't going to make me the next Steve Jobs. But I have to admit, I am a computer addict. So why not do business on the web? I have a pretty good reason.
Business may sound easy, but it is pretty damn hard. You must have a good idea to start with, and when you have a brilliant idea, some other guy in your street does the same thing before you. So in many ways, composing music is the same as doing business.
I considered door to door salesman, but that might end up with a lot of evil eyes. I also considered T-shirt making, but I got stuck in step 1 of making a T-Shirt.
1. Prepare a T-Shirt Machine
2. Repeat Step 1
I know there are many people with T-shirt machines out there, but I need some green paper to get those machines.
Making money is hard, that's for sure. I only have 2 ideas left- Music Remixing and Composing. Those two are my only options because those are related to music, and that's the only thing I'm good at. But it's hard to find clients who wants to remix music, and like I said, composing is hard.
Last year, I had a bunch of lunatic ideas that may end me up in jail.
1. Hacking
2. Trolling
3. Spamming
Luckily, I was not happy with those business ideas, so they were left in a dark place in my head. Now to think of it, composing is quite good. It may not be perfect, but at least I won't have to spend my Christmas in jail, even though I don't get presents anymore. (Probably)
Speaking of Christmas, the only present I want is a keyboard, so that might help me in my 'career' a bit, and I could be 'entertained'.

Near to the End
There's only 1 week left till school ends. 6 months ago, I would be delighted. But now, I feel complicated. Somehow, I was a part of my class now, and It's hard to leave to some other class in Form 2. Although next year I would get luck and end up with 1 or 2 people from my class, but it wouldn't be the same anymore.
What differs our class from other classes is that being in 1A9 is just like going into a popular drama, He digs her, she digs him etc. In this year, our class has accomplished a few prizes. One of the people in our class who got the most prizes is 'Badminton Boy', as teachers call him. I get that teachers don't appreciate his terrific skills, and only care about grades and exams.
This class is almost as perfect as my previous class. Almost. What made our class famous was our discipline. We were known the noisiest class in Form 1, and when our class got that honorary name, people would point the finger at us monitors. Luckily,blaming incidents have never happened, which makes our jobs much more pleasant.
Our class is packed with laughter and jokes, thanks to 'Badminton Boy', again. When a teacher says something sternly, he would always blurt out random comments, and we would all laugh so loud that our chaotic noises would overrule thunder.
In the last week of school, we all plan to bring some 'interesting' games to school, and notbored board game (rule out chess). We have to use this 1 week wise and nice, or we are going to end up regretting and feeling depressed for the rest of.........the holiday.
As you know, I hate regretting. So I'm bringing cards and darts, to cheer my fellow mates up this week....

Le New Gift
First thing, ‘Le' stands for the, in maybe French or Portuguese. Anyways...
Yesterday, I took a visit to my house which I'm going to live in next year. When I stepped in my front yard, I saw five cute things that would make you spit rainbows. In front of my door, I saw 5 puppies taking a nap there. Five different breeds, no bitch (not a swear word) to take care of them, which could only mean 1 thing.
Abandoned.
It's actually kind of sad to see this scene. Who would throw puppies in front of people's house? People with hearts made out of steel that is. OK. Among the 5 puppies, there are 2 white, 2 brown and 1 black. (The way I write the sentence above made some of my friends thought I was writing the number of races in Malaysia. Go figure.)
One of the white puppies look like my dog toy at home, while the other is the type of dog you would see frequently in movies. The black puppy is a cross breed between a Rottweiler and a ________ (I think). Fill the blank space yourself). The brown puppies look pretty much the same, except one of the puppies have so much fur I thought how in the world there was a bear cub sleeping in front on my door.
I got my eyes laid on Mr. Dog Toy, but I couldn't take her home (Ya, its a she). You see, this is the type of time where you need to have good relationship with your parents, and I don't. I actually had to download a paragraph from Internet called 'Benefits of Adopting Dogs' to persuade my parents.lluckily I have, which is an advantage. [This message was edited at 23:58 P.M.] My grandparents? Only when I can go to Mars.
So when I went to my house yesterday, there were 3 puppies, Bear, Brown and Rott. Apparently Movie Dog has been adopted by some crazy director to role the movie 'Superbuds 5'. My favourite dog has been taken away by my aunt to adopt until I move in to my mansion. Although those 3 dogs aren't what I was expecting, that didn't stop me to play with them.

U.N. Owen was Her?
Every single time when I open Google Chrome, the first thing I would do is press YouTube and search for U.N. Owen was Her?. Since the first time I listened to this song through a anime parody remix, I was addicted to it. I couldn't live a day without listening to this magnificent piece. When I listen to it, it calms my mind, even it is a rather speedy theme.
I did some research on this song a second after I listened to it. That's how I knew Touhou. A strange way, you may say, but that is just bias towards about the other thousand people who became fans the same way. Anyways, about the research... Oh, there are just at least 500 remixes for this angelic song. It has permeated the whole Touhou community, and that means a lot.It is also a great piano piece, which is almost as hard as Circus Gallop, for the full version of the piece.
This piece is the theme song of the Touhou famous character, Flandre Scarlet, a vampire who is locked up in a mansion for 495 years. Although she is about 500, her mind is still 7. She's the only character both creepy and cute at the same time, counting out Furbies.
Here is a picture of her, to support my point.
I've already mastered the piano version of this song. Every time I play this piece, I swear I hear a young girl laughing....

Bicycle Riding
Waking up at 4 a.m. in the morning to participate a 'marathon' is insane. Or maybe lunatic. But why would I, completely rational, would do such a thing? Here are two reasons to let you know why would I agree to such a raw deal? Here are some (and all) reasons.
Anyways, even though we arrived the so called square at 5:30, we had to wait until 7:00 to ride our bikes, which is the time that our Prime Minister comes. Seriously, I thought leaders were supposed to be role models. If he came late, why couldn't we?
The group was divided into two groups. The first group is the bicycle group, which get to ride bikes, and the cheering group, which get to cheer. I've got to admit, their job seems fun. Fun.
After 15 minutes I rode the bicycle, I kinda found out that my bicycle wasn't exactly the word 'good'. So I rode as slow as a snail, and the cheer squad cheered me like I did above.
It was the longest 45 minutes in my life. My legs were tired, my body is sweating, and my bicycle is still the same ol' junk. I saw many people that I know pass by me. I tried to catch up. But my legs cannot bear anymore movement. When I reached the final station, I literally tossed my bike to the parking lot, and didn't even look back.
I took some coffee and cereal afterwards, and fell asleep in the bus that I thought that was never going to come, and reminding myself not to pick the wrong bike the next time I join this marathon, if there is a next time.
- Extra 14 marks for co-curriculum
- Free helmet and bike

House- 99%!!!
First things first, the percentage isn't 99%, and the number is not even close to 75%. The put the number just because they look lucky (to me).
The house was bought about 1 year ago when it was not done yet. It will be in 3 months, which is in December. Although I wish to comfort myself in the new house, I will have to wait for 1 month until the furniture moves in, so the real time that I will move in is on January.
What's different about this house and the previous one is that this house is going to be designed by a PRO designer (that's what they said). Nobody would want their houses designed by somebody inexperienced (including themselves), so they just gave the job to the designers, like I did.
I saw the designs once, and believe me, the designer could start her own show, know what I mean?The designs are just too wonderful. My room is no longer a room, it's a sanctuary. A palace. A mansion. A heaven. And many more words to describe.
4 months is a long time. Guess I'll just keep waiting...

My Class
The thing is in Form 1, the usual old class you love isn't there anymore. I have a class like that, and I think you do. Now I'm stuck in a class called 1A9. What a stupid name for a class. Just when I thought that it couldn't be worse, I realized one thing. There are only about 6 students from my previous class, and I wasn't exactly 'pals' with them.
Because I was so depressed that I'm going to be lonely, I volunteered myself as assistant monitor, because that's what people do when they're depressed, they become assistants. Believe it or not, my teacher said 'yes'. Maybe it was my aura that affected her, or she was just relieved that someone volunteered.
After some time in middle school, I was no longer lonely, cause I was too busy to mind about entertainment and socializing. Anyway, here are a few people in the class who actually have jobs, unlike other people who's only job is to do homework. Ok, here goes:
Monitor: Not exactly the nicest boss in the world, as she never gives me any job to skip classes.
Always leaves school 5 minutes earlier just to put a book. It ticks me off that she takes her annoying friend, not me. (Don't be mistaken, I just want to go home earlier)
Hygiene monitor: There's actually nothing to say.
Assistant hygiene monitor: Despite being the hygiene monitor, he doesn't isn't exactly a role model. Always burps
Treasurer: Green, mean fighting machine. She always fight win one boy in the class. I bet the boy is angry that she collects money everyday.
Secretary: In charges of writing names of people who don't pass up their homework. Younger sister of the monitor. Bet she's happy writing the name of her sister down. Cause believe me, I would...
No need for assistant monitor, as you know how I am...

My Favourite Teacher
He always makes us laugh with his funny jokes. He teaches us things in life, not just things in life. He treats us like his friends, he cares and asks things we happen in life. He is our beloved teacher, Jason Smart.
Jason Smart was the teacher who I dreamed of. We never have to call him 'sir' or 'teacher', he insists us calling his name 'Jason' instead. He doesn't just teaches us with boring old textbooks, but he also brings us to the outdoors frequently so we cam learn more stuff. For example in Earth Day, he doesn't just teaches us how to save the earth, but he actually takes us to save the earth. We went out that day to pick up and clear the rubbish nearby our area.
Jason also has a good sense a humour. If you pass a class where you can hear many laughing noises in my school, it's sure our class. His ability to can joke while teaching us never makes school boring.
Jason also teaches things lively. For example, when he teaches us maths, he doesn't use boring' old papers, but he lets us learn to how to solve the Rubix Cube instead. I have to say honestly, it does improve my logic, and I finally knew one thing from learning the Rubix Cube: Everything has a formula, or whatsoever.
Jason is not only good at teaching us in our studies, but he is also good at teaching us at sports too. Jason is a born footballer. In fact, everytime at P.E., he teaches us football. He has also opened a class just so he can teach us football, and it costs barely nothing.
Although we love him teaching us, but he can't teach us forever. In 2009 September, we had to say goodbye to him. Although he isn't our teacher anymore, but we will always agree he is a good teacher.

Garden of Lions
Few days ago, I went to a tourist spot in SuZhou named Shi Zi Ling, which means Garden of Lions in Chinese. There are obviouslly no lions in the 600 hundred old garden, just about 100 lion-like rocks which are placed almost everywhere in the antique garden.
I bought tickets which costs 15 yuan to go inside the fancy garden. It is said that an emporer was once lost in this gigantic garden. I was almost lost too. I walked about 2 hours in this gardens. Besides the lion-like rocks, there is also a huge maze made out of again lion-like rocks which is as big as a mini-mountain.
There is a pagoda at the center of the lake called Hu Xin Ting, which means the pagoda in the middle of the lake (duh,). There is also a pagoda which a emperor once went before and gave its name, Zhen Qu Ting. Its name was once Zhen You Qu Ting, which means fun pagoda, but the You in the name was taken away because it was too goofy.
After buying a book at the souvenir store, I went back home.

Chang Zhou- Dinosaur Park
Today, I went to a fun park, called Dinosaur Park. This isn't one of those boring museums like Natural History Museum, or any cheesy playgrounds that you can see anywhere. This is a theme park, that is as fun as Lego land and Disney Land.
This park includes as much as 20 rides, from roller coaster to water slides. To ride all of the rides, you need to be at least 150cm tall. Besides the fun rides, there are also other stuff like Elephant Show, Bird Show, Seal Show and 4D Cinema.
There are kiddie rides, like King Kong, and exciting rides, like the 'Big Windmill' which rotates 360 degrees while its speed is about 40km/h. There are about 40 souvenir shops and snack bars, which sells many meals that will fill up your hungry belly.
After riding the cool rides, you can always go to the Dinosaur Museum, which contains real fossils and helpful information. The sad news is, the park closes at 5:00 o'clock in winter which is now, so if you wanna ride all the rides, you have to come here early!

2nd Day in Hang Zhou
I woke up at 8:00 o’clock, which was a pretty hard thing to do because of last night watching movies and television series at the hotel. After eating breakfast at the Chinese fast food restaurant besides the hotel, then I went on the bus to go to today’s destination——Long Jing Village, which was famous for its tea, Long Jing tea. It took 45 minutes via bus, and 15 minutes via car, which is also known as the local taxi to a place near the village. I walked up the village through a road which the Emperor Kang Xi had took a walk before.
After walking up to the village, I went to a restaurant, and ate some local food, which included sour and sweet fish, Dong Bo Pork, and some kind of chicken soup that I’m not familiar with. After eating, I went down with a ‘local’ taxi to a bridge which is very long. I bought a handmade kite which costs 50 Yen and broke after 30 minutes by someone who was clumsy.
After walking pass the bridge, I went to rent a bike, but I couldn’t because you have to make a special card for it, which the place to make it is 20 minutes away from here. So I didn’t rent the bike, instead I went to a grand restaurant which has many good steak. After eating steak and drinking milkshake there for about 2 hours, I went back to the hotel and got a good night’s sleep.

At Hang Zhou 1/2
I arrived China this Thursday, via train to Kuala Lumpur from Penang, and to Hang Zhou via Air Asia. I travelled at Hang Zhou before arriving my destination- Su Zhou, which is 2 hours away from here, Hang Zhou.
On the first day at Hang Zhou, I checked in into a three-stared hotel which has many good shows on TV (Really, with nice drama and movies). After putting the luggage and bags, I went for a stroll at XiHu Lake. When it was 5 o'clock, the sky already got pretty dark. And then some guy begin selling some simple but fun lighted-toys that you play it by tossing it in the air with a band.
Although it was about 5 yen, but people were literally rushing to by that toy. By seven o'clock, the whole sky at the park is lighted by that toy. At eight o'clock, I watched a boring show of fountains just because many people were there prepared to watch it.
After eating some beef noodles, I went to bed at room 317.

School Holidays
Now that the school days are over, the so called 'fun' holidays come. But holidays are not always fun. Sometimes they can be boring and like the usual school days. You will know what I mean by looking down "Anonymous's" average holiday day.
7:30: Wake up
8:00: Breakfast
9:00:Tution
12:00:___ Class
2:00: Lunch
3:00: Play
5:00: Study
6:00: TV
7:00: Dinner
9:00: Sleep
I got only one fact wrong, the fact that this kind of holiday is not as boring as the usual school days, its more boring and more bad than the usual school days!!! I think Anonymous would rather not have the holidays if he actually had to follow the time table up there!!!
Actually, my holiday is just about the same, without the tuition and more computer time. But still, it was boring to stay at home listening songs and playing games. Even though I love playing games, but it becomes boring if you do it every day. All I want is to go out and go shopping or rent some tapes, go to fun fairs, but sadly, my wish just cant come true... :(
But anyways, a few days later, I'm going to China for 1 month which has a lot of places to play, so my holidays wouldn't be so boring, like staying at home watching TV. Imagine a whole holiday watching TV!

Farewell ceremony
Today is the day which the Farewell Ceremony is celebrated. Of all of the days I've been through, today was the saddest. If you have never been through all of this, you will never understand why this is sad.
Right after the sixth Fun & Games class, our class monitor called us to line up outside the class. All of us know whats going on. Its the ceremony that every Year 6 student has been through before——the Farewell Ceremony.
When we were in the school hall, we saw all props and things are already putted in place and order. After 20 minutes we reached there, the principal lectured a speech about leaving and being useful to the country and all that stuff. Afterwards, its show time.
But it wasn't relax time for us volunteers. We have to give teachers and the students drinks, yummy food, forks and spoon while they sit there and enjoy the shows that the students prepared.
Here's a list of the shows.

Here's a list of the shows.
- Dance of Oh! by Girls Generation and We're All In This Together
- Dance of some random Chinese song which I keep forgetting its name
- Solo of the song Tong Hua
- Dance of the song Nobody But You which made me tremble
And pretty much I can remember, that's all of the shows. Although there were only 4 shows, but we got to enjoy the nice fried rice which has eggs and cucumber in it.
After the shows, some random girl from a random class gave a speech about thanking the teachers and all that. Then, we have to sing sad songs about leaving. About 5 people wept.
Afterwards, our school celebrity——Tan Jia Wei, who has won many international and country badminton tournaments, told his story about his training and his tournament story.
Then, the Farewell Ceremony ended. We have to walk around the hall and shake hands with all of the teachers at school, while they congratulated us with short, but meaningful words. 90% of the girls cried, and 40% (including me）of the boys cried, not just because of their iron grip, and the sad song, it's because the thought that we will never get to see our fellow mates and teachers again.
The 5 minutes that most of the people cried, was the saddest 5 minutes I've ever been through.
Afterwards, we sadly walked back class in order, scrubbing our eyes and thinking of memories.

UPSR results countdown: 1 day
We've finished the horribly dreadful exam called UPSR which kills our cells. We've been happy in school, until now, which is just 1 day left till the doomsday. Some say this is the Final Judgment. Some say this is worst than the prophecy of 2012. But for me? This is just a ordinary school exam which we have every year.
The truth? I was terrified. I prayed and prayed that I can get 7As. I even made a human sacrifice (not really) to the gods to give me good results. I even hoped that the machine broke down or that the one who corrected my exam has lost my exam paper, and he/she would be responsible.
But then, it wouldn't work anyways. So I've been chilling out by surfing the Internet, watching videos and listening to songs. I don't really see it in their faces, but I'm sure that everyone is scared and stressed just as me.
Anyways, there's no point of being scared or stressed. It's pointless. Being scared and stressed doesn't give you points in the UPSR exam, so does crying and cursing, which some people do. So I keep telling myself, hey, what the point, its not that important anyways. I know it's not important, but someone obviously does. Like some middle schools.... Now hold it right there. I'm not criticizing them so please don't get the idea of suing me, because I know that experience, and don't start it over it.
So how should I not be worried? Plus, there is a terrible news about 100 Chinese Writing examintion papers of a teacher, none of them gone an A. If I wont get the chance to choose what middle school I want to go to, I will not meet my friends. Those two reasons are good enough to give me a major headache.
Now, I will have to stop writing. The stress gave me a flu...

That Damn Spotcheck!
"Newsflash everyone, spot check!" That sentence made everyone who brought forbidden items to school (including me) shocked. Let me get this straight. We know we shouldn't be takinng to school those items, but one of us asked the teacher that if we could bring them, and she agreed, but he forgot to tell us it was only for Children's Day!
All of us used recess time to hide those things away. But me? I got the news a bit late. So I had to hide my big box of cards in class, which is nearly impossible with the class monitor in the class. So I had to wait my chance. Finally, when the monitors were'nt in the class, I putted my big fat box up the cupboard with a bucket covering it. When I thought I was safe, one of my friends when careless, and he got caught, and his 2 deck of cards which cost a lot is taken away. He sulked, which he never before. Meantime, the co-head prefect is arguing with the co-class monitor, which isn't a nice scene. I think she told the co-class monitor not to be such big-headed, then the third world war began. They never learn.
While borrowing my friends watch counting the time till end of school, I realized my friend, who has gone practicing for the school play has forgot to hide his cards. I wasn't gonna let him to be the next victim. So I hid it at a place that no one would ever know~~~~my water bottle.
Tips for spot check.
Requirements: A non-transparent water bottle which has a big lid.
1. Drink all your water.
2. Make sure your water bottle is dry.
3. Put your forbidden item in it
4. Wait until school ends
Thats what I did.
Other people hid theirs in books, shoes, under fans, and the third floor which noone goes to.
Just then, the principal came in and told us about bringing things we should not bring and bla bla bla bla bla bla bla and she would give us another chance, so that means we can get our items back!
All of us took our items from where we hid back. We thanked god that our things werent taken away.
BTW: There's no chance of taking it back if it is taken away.
