♥LONELINESS♥

1. Merdeka!!!
2. Last day of holidays...so sad...

They call it the Love Isle...

You can see people out in the sea with their yachts just sitting there enjoying the see breeze.

People on the beach

Last time they sell Tandoori in this hut or something...then changed to Japanese food...wonder what are they selling now...

The Pool

The Corridor of Serenity..I call it...

The Captain's Restaurant is where I had dinner.

Table number 8...that's good isn't it???

Wonder what are they looking at...

I see a light....

Thinking about what results will I get tomorrow....

Someone signed their name on a leaf of a plant....


After a scrumptious dinner, went to explore the club...

The lobby...
Candid shot...

Well, its late and school tomorrow....going to be very busy when school reopens so maybe i'll blog once in two weeks or something like that...we'll see

Signing off...

This post is specially dedicated to a Mr. Soon Chee Wei aka Spongebob Squarepants.....
Well, he's a fan of all Command and Conquer games and also a huge fan of Spongebob Squarepants (the tv cartoon series). Here's the collection of all games in the Command and Conquer series.

Enjoy the holidays, everyone!!!

Exams are just around the corner and I haven't even completed revision!!! LOL...I said this about 2 months ago...Well, its true and i think i would like to make this post short and simple....


My constant studying companion...no music, no study...no study, no results...no results, no new handphone...XD


Physics, Chemistry and History...my weakest subjects (See that little guy there?)

He's the Joker from Batman: The Dark Knight!!! Background: Taekwondo attendance list...

Take a closer look and you will see......WHY SO SERIOUS?

Last but not least, good luck to all in the upcoming exams!!!

Today, I came across this interesting menu while having lunch at CRC and thought about sharing it with you all...Well, see for yourself:Well, exam's just around the corner and I wish all CLHS students good luck in the exams and even better luck preparing for it. Sob...have to continue studying...

Today, is the Annual General Meeting of my TaeKwondo club in school. Well, I got the Secretary post....Yeah yeah, go ahead and tease me. XD. I'm going to be very busy doing all these secretarial things in the future with forms to fill in, permissions to get, attendances to mark etc. This year, we have 115 members (I think) and so far its the highest number of members in years... Just to think of keying in all their marks already make my fingers tremble...LOL. After listening to what to ex-secretary have to say, I made my way out from school and back home.
Then, I had the Chinese Cultural Quiz to go to. It was held in Phor Tay private which is down town near PCGHS. I followed Alvin's car there and reached there in time to mark our attendances . I saw many friends there such as Shaun, Huei Yiing, Joshua Lim, Ai Hooi and others from other forms. Of course, there were frinds from my class. Chun Yeang, Lead Kert, Keat Wee, Jia Ying, Cheng Chun Keat, Yi Han, Kah Beng and Chen Wei, we all ended up in the same classroom doing the quiz. Well, the quiz was quite hard as i haven't studied the books they gave us to read and i don't know much about China. The quiz is all about China's culture, geography, and history. Of course, i know some of the questions such as who was the first Chinese to play in the NBA for the Houston Rockets? Ans: Yao Ming (duh...) And what was the mascot for the 2008 Beijing Olympics? Ans: the Fu Wa. Part form easy questions such as these, I practically made wild gueasses for the rest.
What surprised me the most is the cleanliness of their classrooms. Every classroom had their tables wrapped up in plastic and there wasn't a single piece of rubbish to be seen on the foor. However, theirs classrooms are relatively small compared to ours and there is sure to be a reading corner and recycle corner in every class. Well, ours had one. Here are some pictures i took using my phone:


Here's the invigilator writing on the board.

Alvin seriously studying for the quiz.


View from the floor we were having our quiz.






Participants pouring out for the hall where they took their quiz.

Left: A dictionary they gave us for participating Right: The question booklet

Last but not least, the matchup of the day: Liverpool vs Real Madrid. LOL, after the quiz, me and Keat Wee took out ours PSP's and battled it out in Fifa 08. I chose Real Madrid while he chose Liverpool. And guess what? I won!!! I beat him 2-0 where the first goal from Ruud Van Nistelrooy through a header and another through a penalty where Keat Wee slided me on purpose....
Well, that's all for today... Cya.

Yesterday, I went out with some of my friends to Gurney Plaza to catch the new Harry Potter movie. Well, I reached there at about 1 p.m. with my family first and then met up with my friends later.

Well, those who reached first were Shaun and his gang, Yi Qian, Brandon, Chee Yang and Wooi Keat. and later, we met Kee Khai. It was still early, so we decided to have lunch first. Shaun, Wooi Keat, Brandon and Yi Qian decided to lunch at Chilli's (XD...Rich people) so since i already had lunch, me, Chee Yang and Kee Khai just slacked around in the mall. We wondered aimlessly into Popular and found Zhan Yi there. Later, we met Ying hang and Leonard outside Popular.

We went to Secret Recipe and ordered drinks...Well, I ordered drinks but the others order food.

Ying Hang with his DSLR Canon 500D camera....Dunno what's he up to....Bringing his camera into the cinema. It was 3 o'clock by the time we finished eating so we met Shaun and co from Chilli's and we went up to the cinema together. People here....People there...People everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There were so many people at the stands buying popcorn that we had to rush down to Popular to buy mineral water...Sob...
Then, it was movie time.....
It was okay...with Ronald Weasely with his funny sense of humour and Harry Potter getting into trouble again... Well, most of the time i could'nt hear anything because Yi Qian and Kee Khai were laughing so hard that i'm sure in the whole cinema, we're the noisiest row. And, the most unbelievable part is....Shaun cried when Albus Dumbledore died!!!!!!!!! Well, he was sobbing all the time from Snape killed Dumbledore up to the part where he reveals himself as the Half-Blood-Prince. I thought he had a block nose or something but he told me personnaly that he was crying after the movie ended.

After that, we walked around the mall until about 6.30 and finally decided to settle down in Segafredo to have a drink.
Ying Hang with his camera...AGAIN.
Brandon and his handsome face.
Brandon and Chee Yang.
Brandon, Chee Yang and Keee Khai.And finally, SHAUN!!!!!!!!

The F430 hails the arrival of a whole new generation of Ferrari V8-engined berlinettas. Every inch of the car was inspired by the engineering research carried out at Ferrari's Gestione Sportiva F1 Racing Division. The result is a highly innovative design characterised by cutting-edge technologies perfected for use on a road-going car.

Two of these innovations are world firsts for a production car: the electronic differential (E-Diff), initially developed by Ferrari for its F1 single-seaters and designed to make the most of the engine's torque to optimise traction, and the handily placed steering wheel-mounted commutator switch (better known to the Scuderia's drivers as the manettino), which directly controls the systems governing vehicle dynamics.
.
The F430's light, compact 4,308 cc engine that gives the car its name is completely new ; it punches out 490 hp and delivers a specific power output of 114 hp/l and 465 Nm of torque. Needless to say, performance is outstanding: acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in four seconds flat and a maximum speed in excess of 315 km/h.
.
Every area of this latest Prancing Horse car has been influenced by Formula 1. For instance, a braking system using carbon-ceramic discs has been installed within the car as standard. The discs offer superior stopping power and give the driver the satisfying feeling of being in complete control of the vehicle even in the most demanding situations. The F430's aerodynamics are also highly innovative for a road car: its shape has been honed to generate air flows to increase down-force and improve cooling. Every last component of this Ferrari has been perfected to deliver outstanding performance and driving pleasure.

There is also the cool Hamman version of the Ferrari F430:

Apple is coming out with its new iPhone 3Gs....Its basically an iPhone with totally upgraded camera, video recording, 3G internet speed and a whole lot else...According to the staff at Maxis telecommunications, iPhone 3Gs will be out next month. I'm not sure about the price but it maybe as expensive as the current iPhone or even worse, more expensive. Customers can opt for the 16GB or the 32GB phone. It doesn't have the 8GB storage as Apple has decided to drop off the 8GB and go witha larger storage space. And as usual, Wi-Fi available in this phone with faster connection.

I was hoping to get one for myself..XD, don't think i'm rich!!!

The King of Pop, Michael Jackson passed away on the 25th of June which was yesterday at at the age of 50 at the ULCA Medical Center in the United States. Jackson, started his career at the young age of 11 and made his way to the top spot in just a very short time.

His music was renowned all over the world and has managed to weave its way to the top of the American billboard charts. Songs such as "Billie Jean", "The Girl Is Mine", "Human Nature" and many other songs are the most memorable ones in Jackson's career. One of Jackson's signature pieces, "Thriller", released as a single in 1984, utilizes cinematic sound effects, horror film motifs and vocal trickery to convey a sense of danger in his work.
During his living days, Jackson has helped the world in various ways. For example, he donates to help the hunger and poverty stricken children of Africa; Jackson also helped organized the United We Stand: What more can I Give benefit concert in Washington DC and so on. He was planning a comeback concert just next month when he just passed away yesterday. It is believed that 11 concert tickets were sold to the public every second. Now, Michael Jackson fans can just keep their tickets as a souvenir, as a token of gratitude to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson...

Today is the last day of the two-week break we had. Tomorrow, we will go back to school, back to all the stress school work has to provide us with. Well, in conjunction with the end of the holidays, my father decided to take us for an "end-of-holidays....goodbye freedom" dinner. He took us to Queensbay Mall and we had dinner at Dragon-i. It was delicious!!! I took along my camera and snapped some of the dishes we ordered for y'all to see. Enjoy, try not to drool too much....View from inside Dragon-i of outside of the restaurant...View from inside Dragon-i of the ground floor (Belleview residences promoting their Palmria houses)
First dish: Shredded Chicken with Vinegar

Second dish: Beijing Dumplings
Third dish: Stir Fried Long Beans


Fourth dish: Honey Grilled Crispy Eel
Fifth dish: Clay pot Eggplant

Sixth and final dish: Fried Rice



After eating, we went shopping for awhile and then headed for home as there is school tomorrow. So, its quite late now and I've gotta sleep...Good Night.

Today, my family and I went on a round island trip. We started from Bayan Lepas and made it all the way down to Batu Feringghi. Well, as we woke up late this morning, we started at about 10 and reached home at at about 4. Its approximately 80km so i'm sure we did not round the whole island. We stopped at Balik Pulau to have their famous Laksa and since it's the durian season now, we also had some durians. Later we stopped at the Bayview hotel for a break. I brought along my camera and here are some pictures that i took:
Durians, hanging from their trees can be seen as we went uphill...

2nd term exams are starting this Thursday, and i haven't even FINISHED revision yet. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Chinese, History, Additional Mathematics and my weakest subjects. Just hope i will remember enough from the teachers' teaching to get pass this term's eams.
Oh, by the way, i've just joined Facebook, go check out my profile. Well, there's nothing much....
Well, have to revise now, TTFN!!!!

Okay, I'll continue off where i stopped. It was half time and Liverpool and Chelsea were level at 1-1. Liverpool's goal was scored by El Nino-Torres while Chelsea's goal was scored by defender Ivanovic. Everyone thought that Chelsea was going to lose but the final results tells a completely different story.

Liverpool was beaten by Chelsea by 3 goals to 1 at Anfield!!! Chelsea's second goal was scored by the same man who scored Chelsea's first goal. Not to mention that the goal was scored using the same way as Ivanovic scored the first, a header from a corner. During the corner, Ivanovic was seen weaving in and out between Liverpool defenders trying to get to the ball. And he got to it, and headed it back home.

Ivanovic mobbed by fellow teammates after scoring the second goal against Liverpool.

Its quite over for the home team now, being scored against at home. No one thought that Didier Drogba would score again against Liverpool. Chelsea fans went mad with joy when Drogba scored the winning goal against Pepe Reina.

All Soul's Day is traditionally celebrated by the Chinese between 10 days before or 10 days after the actual day. People usually go to cemetries and pray to their ancestors during this time. My family were going today, so i had to miss Taekwondo and Geography activities in school today. We reached our destination at about 10 and started setting up the "equipments" for praying. It was blazing hot and we had to carry umbrellas to prevents us from being roasted alive!!! LOL, just kidding. We placed the fruits and other things onto the altar for praying. We rested for awhile after working for about 2 hours. Here are some pictures that i took with my phone:










Born: 1st April (April Fool's Day)

Recently, some of my relatives went to Taiwan on a business trip. They took some pictures for us to see and guess what they saw?

Here are some pictures:

These three cows are placed here to celebrate the Ox Year.

This cow was seen by a roadside of Taiwan.

Guess what is it made of??

Keyboard buttons!!! Cool eh?

They also brought back some local delicacies. One of them is a type of egg called iron egg. No, its not made of iron. Its actually quail eggs braised over and over and over again until it turns tight and hard. Then, it is packed into airtight plastics and sealed. Taiwanese people love to have this while watching TV or reading. It is harder to chew than chewing gum, however, once you've tried, you find it hard to resist.

Well, it certainly is a terrible week for England's two best football clubs, Manchester United and Chelsea. Last night, Manchester United kicks off against 8th place Fulham in Craven Cottage. After losing to giants Liverpool FC earlier in the week, United's luck just couldn't get any better. Guess what? United lost to Fulham by 2 goals to nil!!! Suprising isn't it? Plenty of cards were shown during the match. One of them being the sending off of United veteran Paul Scholes during the 17th minute for a hand ball in the penalty box. Consequently, the penalty that was took by Murphy of Fulham went in and Fulham went on to lead until half time. In the second half, Patrice Evra and Christiano Ronaldo were shown yellow cards. Just as United thought they were getting on the upper hand of the match, Fulham's Gera produced a superb goal to crush all hopes of United scoring an equaliser. And finally, United's Wayne Rooney got sent off for throwing the ball to aggresively, as he was previously booked during the 81st minute, referee Dowd did not hesitate to give him a second yellow and followed by a red card. These two consecutive loses broke United's record of not losing two matches consecutively since almost 4 years ago. No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson looked down when the match ended.

Another match involved is The Blues (Chelsea) against Tottenham Hotspurs. 9th place Tottenham managed to edge past Chelsea by 1 goal to nil. It was quite quiet during the first half of the match. But, during the second half, things sure got interesting. Tottenham's Modric managed to get a goal assisted by Lennon. Although Chelsea had many chances to score an equaliser, none seem to get past Gomes (Tottenham goalkeeper).

Here are the results of both of the BPL matches if you don't understand what i am saying:

And here is the overall standings of the Barclays Premier League:

There will be a match involving Arsenal against Newcastle and another involving Liverpool against Aston Villa. If I have the time, i'll try to keep you updated. For now....Good night....oh, i mean good morning.

Today is the first day of the holidays...not counting last weekend. And its BORING.... With nothing to do besides sleeping and studying.... Now, i'm digging out my old storybooks and rereading them. Titles such as the Twilight trilogy, the Black Magician trilogy are now just water to me. I already know what's going to happen next. Who has suggestions on what to read...Please leave a comment...cause i'm craving for something new to read. Tomorrow, i'm going play badminton in Permata with a couple of friends. Hopefully i will have some photos for blogging.

Before i go, here's a video of a young korean boy doing wonders with his guitar. Enjoy:

Yesterday was Chung Ling High School's annual Cross Country competition. Everybody is compulsery to attend it as it is part of our Physical Education marks. As usual, I left the house early and reached Youth Park at about 7.30 and met up with Chee Yi and Leonard. We marked our attendance and then walked around. At 8 o'clock, the first category which is the sixth forms and form 5's started first. Ten minutes later, its our category's (form 4 and form 3) turn to race. I ran most of the way but still couldn't make it to the top 200. Sigh.... Well, as usual, Eugene Choy got first place followed by Lee Chun Liang from my class. Here are some pictures of the cross country race:

Winners of the female category standing behind the VIPs...

The guy in purple with his mouth open is a fan of Spongebob Squarepants...LOL

Winners of our category.

WHY SO SERIOUS?!

Recently, i aquired this game for my PSP and it was awesome!!! This game is developed by Ready at Dawn Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Capcom. It is a single player game tht promises great action and adventure.

In this game, you play Kratos (the guy in the picture on the right). He has these two cool knives that glows and acts like a whip. There are combos and it gets cooler and cooler when you upgrade using orbs you can obtain throughout the game. Besides that, you can also use cool magic skills to eliminate enemies. As you go along the game, you get to boost your health and magic when it gets low. You kill bosses and solve puzzles all the time.

Here are some screenshots of the game:

For those who own the PSP, i strongly recommend this game to those who crave action and adventure games.

Today, a big day for all form 3 students. I reached school at about 9.15a.m. Already, there were students there waiting for the release of the PMR results. I met up with Wooi Keat and Kee Khai and later Wei Lian, which came back from Singapore to collect his results. Then, i walked to the place where they were going to give out the results. Soon, most of the students arrived and we chatted. About 10.30 the prefects came with the result slips. We lined up to collect our slips then signed on the list provided. Luckily, i was one of the students in front so i don't have to wait long to get my results. Guess how many a's i got??? Most of my friends got straight a's and some got 7 or 6. After collecting my results, i informed my parents, they were rejoiced, especially my mother. We went for lunch in Mr. Pot and my father sent me back to my grandmother's place after that.

Here's an article i found in the Star official website:

Tuesday December 30, 2008
PMR: More answered in English
The subject that showed the biggest improvement in performance was English — the pass rate increased by 3.6 points from an average of 71.2% from 2003-2007 to 74.8% this year.
A total of 26,378 candidates or 5.96% scored straight As in the PMR, Last year the figure was 5.65% while in 2006 it was 4.83%. The number of candidates who failed or scored Es in all subjects also declined, from 0.13% to 0.10%.
Alimuddin said that at least 15% of candidates scored As in all the 16 subjects offered under the PMR.
“In many subjects, more than 20% of candidates scored As,” he said.
The subjects with the most number of A scorers were Punjabi (56.2%), Iban (30%) and Living Skills - Technical (30.1%).
The disparity between the performance of urban and rural students was also narrowing, said Alimuddin.

“Each year we see an improvement in the achievements of rural students, and this is in line with the national education blueprint of levelling the playing field,” he said.
An expert from Cambridge International Examinations in the United Kingdom, Kate Newcombe, sat in on the evaluation process and setting of standards of this year’s PMR.
“She remarked that the standard of our Mathematics and Science paper was higher than the United Kingdom’s,” claimed said Alimuddin.

Well, to those who scored straight a's, i congratulate you, and to those not so unfortunate, keep up the good work and score in the form 5 SPM.

To all Form 3 students, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year, but before you celebrate the New Year, you're in for a big surprise, cause the PMR results will be out next Tuesday, the 30th of December. It can be said as a late Christmas present. Here's the article from the New Straits Times website about the PMR results:

2008/12/24
PMR results on Tuesday

KUALA LUMPUR: This year's Penilaian Menengah Rendah examination results will be announced on Tuesday, according to the Education Ministry.
Candidates' results will be released in schools on the same day from 10am.About 472,000 pupils sat this year's PMR exam at 3,458 examination centres set up across the country. Out of the total number of students, 93 per cent were from national schools, 3.3 per cent from vernacular schools and 2.8 per cent from private schools. Only 0.1 per cent were private candidates.

I finally bought this book last week. Since i knew that Brisingr was to be published on the 20th of September, i've been resisting the urge to buy this book as the PMR exams were just around the corner then. Well, i finally got it and i've finished reading it just yesterday.

The story opens with Eragon, Roran, and Saphira traveling towards Helgrind, the mountain dwelling of the Ra'zac where Roran's betrothed, Katrina, is being held prisoner. While they are camping, Eragon mends the wound that was inflicted on Roran by a Ra'zac back in Carvahall.
They infiltrate the mountain, rescuing Katrina and killing one Ra'zac, but Eragon also finds Sloan, Katrina's father, imprisoned. Eragon decides to remain in Helgrind to kill the remaining Ra'zac. He tells Saphira to go back to the Varden with Roran and Katrina, while he kills the Ra'zac. The last Ra'zac attempts to strike a deal with Eragon, informing him that Galbatorix has almost found "the name". As the Ra'zac refuses to (or, perhaps, cannot) elaborate, Eragon refuses the deal and kills it. After some deliberation, Eragon decides that he will force Sloan to go to the elves with the permission of Islanzadi and will be kept from seeing Katrina. Unhappy with this, Sloan urges Eragon to kill him, but Eragon discovers his true name, and uses it to force him to go.
Meanwhile, back at the Varden, its leader, Nasuada, has been summoned by Fadawar to the trial of the Long Knives. Nasuada wins the trial, thereby gaining control of the tribes. Saphira arrives soon after without Eragon, and Arya, concerned for Eragon's safety and whereabouts, sets off in pursuit, while Eragon begins to journey back to the Varden. Arya and Eragon meet up in Eastcroft, and together they return to the Varden, where Roran and the villagers of Carvahall who had not settled in Surda have joined the Varden. Elven spellweavers have been assigned to protect Eragon. It is in this book that Arya confesses that she did not always walk this Earth alone. Faolin, mentioned only once in Eragon and Eldest, is revealed to be Arya's 'love'. Yet, it is also in this book which shows that Arya starts to have uncertain feelings towards Eragon, although it is not said directly. Eragon's love and longing to be with her has not ceased; if anything, it has grown stronger and stronger. It pains him to be always so close to Arya, yet he cannot be with her, in the risk of loosing her trust and friendship, which was almost the case in Eldest. The relationship between Eragon and Arya is more of close friends, getting closer and closer every time they work together.
Roran informs Eragon that he and Katrina wish to marry only a few days after his return. He also states that he wants Eragon to officiate - as a Dragon Rider, he has the power to do so. Eragon agrees, but questions why so soon. Roran informs him that Katrina is pregnant. The day of the wedding, a small unit of soldiers from the Empire, including Murtagh and Thorn, invade the Varden, who conclude that the army is only a small distraction and their real intention is to capture Eragon. It is soon discovered that the small army is enchanted to feel no pain, and they wreak havoc on the Varden troops. With the help of the elven spellweavers that have been assigned to aid and protect Eragon, Murtagh is driven away and the Varden manage to destroy the enemy army, but with high causalities. Despite the skirmish, Roran and Katrina's marriage goes ahead.
No sooner are Eragon and Saphira happily reunited after their time apart, however, when Nasuada orders Eragon to attend the election of the new dwarf king as a member of Durgrimst Ingeitum. She tells them that Saphira must remain behind, for if she didn't and Murtagh learned of it, he would crush the defenseless Varden. Eragon agrees, reluctantly leaving Saphira behind. Once again among the dwarves, Eragon is reunited with Orik, the new clan-chief of Durgrimst Ingeitum, and his new wife, Hvedra. An attempt is made on Eragon's life by unknown dwarves. This incident is investigated and is found to be the work of Az Sweldin rak Anhuin, who have shown hostility towards Eragon and Saphira. Orik presents this evidence to the clan-chiefs, banishing the whole clan of Az Sweldn rak Anhuin, thereby winning the trust of the dwarves. In Tronjheim, Orik is elected the new king. Eragon and Saphira are then reunited, and at Orik's coronation she mends the Isidar Mithrim that she and Arya had shattered in rescuing Eragon from Durza.
Eragon and Saphira return to Ellesmera to complete their training. When they arrive at the hut of their masters, Oromis and Glaedr, Eragon becomes frustrated at the fact that neither of them divulged the knowledge they had that Morzan was his father. Glaedr tells Eragon that Morzan was never his father, and that Brom was. Saphira shows Eragon a memory Brom left to him, telling Eragon that he is proud of him. The next day, Eragon is told the source of Galbatorix's power: a "heart of hearts", or Eldunari, is a dragon's heart, which can contain their consciousness if separated from their body, and exist forever. Glaedr explains that Galbatorix controls hundreds of these, and these are the source of his power. They also discuss Eragon's need for a new sword, and Eragon visits Rhunon, a master craftswoman, who he asks to forge a new blade for him, but she can't because of her oath to never forge another weapon. Instead, after Eragon retrieves the materials necessary to make the blade, Rhunon has Eragon make the sword while she controls his actions. Eragon names the blade, "Brisingr". Whenever Eragon says 'brisingr', the word for 'fire' in the ancient language, the sword bursts into flames. This is thought to be because of either the fact that Eragon was involved with the forging of the blade or that "brisingr" is the sword's true name.
Eragon continues to be instructed by his tutors, and when the time comes to leave to help the Varden's siege on one of the Empire's cities, he is amazed to find that Oromis and Glaedr are fighting, too. Oromis explains that the time has come to oppose Galbatorix directly, joining Islanzadi in Gil'ead. Glaedr gifts his heart of hearts to Eragon and Saphira before they go their separate ways.
Eragon and Saphira join the siege, where they are reunited with Arya. Eragon and Arya race to find the leader of the city. However, the leader informs them that magicians know the city will fall to the Varden, and they just want to create as much terror and mayhem as possible, so they have set about trying to create a Shade. Horrified, Eragon and Arya attempt to stop the magicians, but are too late. The magicians managed to summon a Shade in a sacrifice's body. Eragon and Arya fight the Shade, which eventually falls to the duo. Glaedr's heart of hearts sends his experiences to Eragon; Oromis was killed and Gleadr,after being struck in the head, is returned to his Eldunari while fighting Murtagh and Thorn, who are at this moment controlled by Galbatorix. Nasuada tells Eragon, after the battle, that the Varden plan to march to Belatona, then to Dras-Leona, then on to Uru'baen, where they will slay the king. Eragon feels lost, but is comforted by the fact that Galbatorix has one weakness: by separating him from the dragons' heart of hearts he will lose most of his power.

It truly is an awesome book, you should read it. Well,I can't wait for the fourth and final book in the Inheritance Cycle where the story is to be concluded.

Well, its late and i really have to go... Good night y'all...

Yesterday, i took part in the Taekwondo grading that is held in the Gan Associaton of Penang. This is the third grading i've been to in this year. Normally, its just two times a year, but since i am a grade lower than the other students of my form, i decided to take part in this grading. Only 4 students of the same belt as mine is taking part in this grading with me. Basically, i did okay throughout the test except for the combinations part. And you can't blame me, the others couldn't keep up as well. After finishing the 1 step sparring and free sparring, i went back to my bag and heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn't as hard as i expected. While waiting for my parents, i took a few pictures with my phone. Here's a video of a girl in a red belt kicking a block of wood:







Now for something on last night's matches of Manchester United-Manchester City and Chelsea-Arsenal. My predictions were half accurate as Manchester United won Manchester City 1-0. But the my predictions about the Chelsea-Arsenal match weren't quite accurate, the score was quite the opposite of the score i've predicted. The match ended with Arsenal edging past chelsea 2-1.

Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal

Now, a match that really surprised everyone. The Gunners haven't won in Stamford Bridge for almost 4 seasons now. A very confident Chelsea started the match with accurate passes and many a time tried to score against Arsenal keeper Almunia. It is not until the half hour mark did anything happen. A well placed cross that intended for Chelsea striker Anelka ended up in the back of the net due to an unfortunate leg in by Arsenal's Djourou. Chelsea's victory were short-lived when 2 of Robin Van Persie's strike ended up at the back of the net each separated by just 3 minutes. Chelsea players well dejected after the match as they were leading all the way until the hour mark. Now Chelsea are level with Liverpool at the top of the scoreboard with Liverpool a game at hand. Here are some videos of the goals in this match:

Its going to be a big day tomorrow. Firstly, tomorrow is my Taekwondo grading (sort of a test) to be upgraded to Blue 2 which is the 6th level in Taekwondo rating. I'm quite nervous as i haven't practice the syllabus in awhile and my stamina isn't too good recently. Hope that adrenaline could save me tomorrow. Secondly, tomorrow in the Barclays Premier League, the Red Devils Manchester United will face Manshester City in a Manshester derby while board leaders Chelsea will face the Gunners Arsenal. The Manchester United match will begin at 9.35 p.m. and the Chelsea-Arsenal match will kick-off at 11.55 p.m. I'm sure the nasi kandar shops in the whole of Malaysia will be crowded will football fans so no nasi kandar for dinner tomorrow. My personal predictions of the matches: Manchester United 1-0 Manchester City, Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal.
Now, for some news on today's badminton semi final matches which include Malaysia's Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong against team mates Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari and Chin Ee Hui-Wong Pei Tty against China's Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting. Kien Keat and Boon Heong dominated the first round but lost out to their team mates in the second round. In the end, Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif and Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari beat them by the score 21-12, 13-21, 22-20. Nevertheless, the Malaysia team will definitely book a place in the men's doubles final.

Last Deepavali, me and my family went to KL. We stayed at the Boulevard Hotel which is just next to the famous Midvalley Megamall. We went on a Saturday and came back the following Tuesday. During our stay there, we visited my uncle which is staying in Subang Jaya and i watched three movies (Ironman, Mummy: The Tomb of The Dragon Emperor and Journey To the Center of the Earth) on his big Sony LCD TV while my father chatted with my uncle.
We spent most of our time shopping at Midvalley and once we even went to Sunway Lagoon. Me and my cousin took my sisters into Sunway Lagoon for the wildlife park. I even took a few pictures.
One of the nights in KL, my uncle took us to a Korean restaurant in Bangsar Village. The food was delicous especially the bibimbab. We ate till we were full and went back to the hotel.
Here are some of the pictures i took in KL:

Twilight is a young adult vampire-romance novel written by author Stephenie Meyer. It was originally published in hardcover in 2005. It is the first book of the Twilight series, and introduces seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan who moves from Phoenix, Arizona, to Forks, Washington, and finds her life in danger when she falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. The novel is followed by New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.

Isabella "Bella" Swan moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona, to rainy Forks, Washington, to live with her father, Charlie. She chooses to do this so that her mother, Renée, can travel with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, who is a minor league baseball player. In Phoenix she was a bit of an outcast, so it surprises her that she attracts much attention at her new school, and is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys in the school compete for shy Bella's attention.

When Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, Edward seems utterly repulsed by her. He even attempts to change his schedule to avoid her, leaving Bella completely puzzled about his attitude towards her. After tricking a family friend, Jacob Black, into telling her the local tribal legends, Bella concludes that Edward and his family are vampires. Although she was inexplicably attracted to him even when she thought Edward drank human blood, she is much relieved to learn that the Cullens choose to abstain from drinking human blood, and drink animal blood instead. Edward reveals that he initially avoided Bella because the scent of her blood was so desirable. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love.

The seemingly perfect state of their relationship is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks, and James, a tracker vampire, decides that he wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens plan to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, and Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. Bella then gets a phone call from James in which he says that he has her mother, and Bella must give herself up to James at her old dance studio, to save her. She does so, and while at the dance studio, James attacks her. Edward, along with the rest of the Cullen family, rescue Bella before James can kill her. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella's hand, Edward sucks the venom out of her system before it can spread and change her into a vampire. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their prom and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to let happen.
