SMK Taman Desa Orientation Day

Today I went for a performance in my school for the orientation day.
I don't know whether you all notice this or not.... EVERY YEAR, the new batch of students are getting shorter and shorter, smaller and smaller. hahaha lol.... T.T Kinda sad, it seems like a world evolution lol
That really impressed me when I saw a few big size students hehehehe.........

A 'Different Christmas' (25.12.09)

Usually on a Christmas Day, people will go and visit their relatives and friends, go for shopping with family, watch movie at cinema or so on......... Yea, I believe that is what other people will do usually........... For me it's a really different story this year.
One of the bass drum skin of my BB company's band tears....... So, I went to Puchong to find Jie Cong in order to purchase a new bass drum skin. I took U60 Rapid KL as instructed by him. Everything went well until I got down from the bus at the wrong stop!!!
Woo........ unbelievable... Lol... This is the first time I took U60 to Puchong.
After I got down from the bus, my surrounding was very quiet. The only thing you can see is cars speeding at a high speed. So, I called Jie Cong... After around one hour, he came and took me to the Bentley music shop. He asked me to call the shop. So, I did as he said.
Walau....... The shop was not opened due to Christmas.. Lol hahahaha...
So, I was like a mad cow crushing the red cloth for nothing hehehehe.............
EXTREMELY...........................................................................
BO...RING...Z.....................................

The Return..........

After one week suffering of internet disconnection, finally i'm back again.

Throughout the whole week, I have nothing to do but suffering with the 'boringness' of my surrounding.

Woo..... after suffering from the 'different christmas'...... the New Year is coming soon...... The books, homeworks, pressure and etc. are all returning to me in a short while of time.

Hope that I'll enjoy the year! Yea!!!!!!!

Zzz.......

I slept 12 hours after coming back from a camp
hahahahaha

Band and drill course 2009

We gathered in YMCA at 7.30 a.m. After getting a head count of the people, we head towards Sekolah Sri Cahaya in Shah Alam for the camp. Along the way, Chin Gian was sitting beside me and he taught me something great about band.
................................................................... I'll get to the important things that I see in this camp.

It was a great time over there because it was almost restless, very tiring and that's why I enjoy it. hehehe...... Err... along the camp I learnt - everyone is not the same and thus, every person's attitudes and behaviours are also different. Some people might do something that you can never ever think of it. So, we should correct those people who made mistakes because they might not know that they are wrong.

Beside band practices under Mr. Joe Wong, there were also a lot of physical trainings and also drill practices. Yeah, the band improved a lot under Mr. Joe. I would like to say thank you to him because he is willing to teach us.
Throughout the drill team selection for the Pesta drill competition..... finally I saw people like me... lol... who is so crazy that can even cry for drill. I felt very glad because there are still that kind of person in the company.

This is the list of people inside the team (A) temporarily:

KLWMBC (1st show)

KLWMBC??? What is that O.o?

It is actually Kuala Lumpur World Marching Band Competition.

My friends and I went for this great event.

There were 4 bands showing up... Namely Victoria Institution (Malaysia), Wat Phnom Sakura (Cambodia), Satriwittaya 2 (Thailand) and also ??? (I missed, so I never mention).

We were late... We missed the first team that came out. T.T....... The next one was the Wat Phnom Sakura from Cambodia. They blown a few songs that are entertaining such as the 'Rasa Sayang'. They also did some traditional dance using the colour guard. The next band was the Thailand's Satriwittaya 2!!! They were very DCI (Drum Corp International) style... Hehehehe... Nice songs... Nice percussion... and also nice colour guards... The last team that turned up was the V.I. band!!!!!!!!! Wooo.... our country's band!!!

They performed quite well but not up their usual standards.... Anyways, they are still strong.

After the marks calculated, the results are:

1st : Satriwittaya 2 (90.90 %)

2nd : ??? (90.??%)

3rd : Victoria Institution(87.??%)

4th : Wat Phnom Sakura(79.??%)

Shocking in the morning!!!

Previously, I received a message from my prefectorial board's teacher advisor that I need to return to school on 14 and 15 of december. Unfortunately, I have forgotten that one of the day!
I only remember that I need to return on 15. Lol....
So, this morning as I was seeping soundly, my friend suddenly threw me a call in order to summon my presence. I was confused...????

Back then, when I checked my facebook account's wall only I realized that I had remembered wrongly for the event. HAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!

Anyway, today as I was working in the school's office, I counted how many times that I had yawned. It was surely more than 25 times in 6 hours time. Lol... xD

Life is BUSY!!!!!!

WA.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WALAU...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WALAU........... A............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo... Events just keep popping out. I am very tired.

Today, YMCA held a Christmas Party Carnival or something like that but it was only for children.

I was one of the volunteer inside the event with Sean, Kodie and Benjamin. It took me around 1/2 hour for me to wake up. I couldn't really control my mind today. ~_~

When I reached YMCA, everyone was busy setting up and do preparations for the party. My first job of the day is to tie a large amount of balloons. I was always not good at it. I kept struggling for a long time and finally I was able to tie a balloon successfully. YEAH MAN!!!!!!

After half an hour, I started to become a pro. I could tie the balloon very fast. Hehehehe...

The real event started at around 2 o'clock. Sean was sitting just beside me. Then, he kept on saying that the children are very cute and he can see the emotions through their eyes and kind of things like that. Next, he asked me whether I agree with him or not. Guess what I said?

Nope, I just looked at his eyes with a stupid face without a single word. lol... Then, he returned to a normal status. I do not know why but he just love to ask me this kind of things. hehehe........

The event ended at 5 o'clock. Then, we quickly went down for a band practice before it was too late. Anyway, we were still late.

So, that's the highlight of the day.

A very good trumpeter

Sorry... lol
My computer got problem. Cannot directly get the video here.

but...... This is really really REALLY a nice video. If you love music, a bit love music or you don't even love music, you must still watch this. Extremely good player!!!

Sad feeling................

After 2 years + in BB....... I am still there but I kept on seeing my comrades leaving the organisation 1 by 1 but i can't do anything much. It is rather a kind of sadness. I don't know I can still continue to survive in this war for how long........... but i will guarantee it is not now.

People from my batch...............
My fellow friends, brothers or comrades.............
People older than me...............
My 'teachers'...........................

One by one leaving...... not many of them but everyone of them have a placing in my heart.
Thus, this makes me feel frustrated and sad......
I am very glad that there are still a large bunch of youngsters continue in their journey together with me. I will continue to strike for a good recruitment drive so that the old tragedy may end somedays.

T.T mood: BAD

YO I'm BaCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blog close down temporarily

I couldn't get inspiration for the meanwhile...... so this blog will be close down until some time...........

3rd KL's Melaka Trip (21-22 Nov)

The camp was normal but it woke me up from my mistakes......
The programme might be usual but the meaning of the camp to me is priceless.

Throughout the camp, I finally realise the responsibility and also the job of a sergeant. I want to deliver a thousand of thanks from the bottom of my heart to Mr. Soo Jie Cong. He successfully woke me up this time. Lol......

What he said is correct... "How the boys and company act potray how good the sergeants are"...... As I was the only sergeant in the camp, the responsibility went triple for me. Now, I understand what I should do...........

SM Sri Sempurna (Leadership Trip) 18-20 Nov

Since the school is not having any special activities for my form, going to school is just as good as wasting my time. So, I decided to go for a camp as a helper for The Pathways Training Center. The only thing that I am worry about is the prefectorial board of the school. Due to the SPM and also the absence of the Form 3's students, I think it should be okay if I am not there. So, I carried on with my plans.

It was a 3 days 2 nights trip...... Surprisingly, I met a lot of my primary school mates. They were quite friendly. Throughout the camp, I felt that those participants were just not up to the standard in the sense of their discipline. This includes the punctuality of them...... For every day, I had never seen a session that has all participants punctual. It was rather sad to be call a leadership trip...... Haiz............

Anyway, the fun was there......... I saw everyone was enjoying themselves very much which was a good thing to say. There was one participant who acted exactly like Chow Chun Yang in my school (very funny person). Funs kept coming..........

During the nights, I had snare drum practices with my third drummer of the line. Woo hoo!!!!!! I slept like around 1 o'clock everyday...... just as usual lol. Throughout the camp I learned another thing......

Please do not simply order anyone to do anything while we are still able to do it. I hate that attitude especially when the one that gives the order to you talk to you in a bad manner. I think that is very bad, let us say "TAK NAK" to this nut attitude. HOORAY!!!

Good Luck!!!

GOOD LUCK FOR THOSE WHO ARE SITTING FOR THEIR SPM AND STPM

KL State NCO Fellowship (14 NOV 2009)

It was indeed a small scale fellowship event as many leaders are going to face their SPM and STPM examination. I would like to say thank you to CPL Lim Ewe Jin and his committee for the hard work of bringing this event comes true.

The event started at 6.00 p.m. It was raining cat and dog that time...... It gave me the feeling of sadness. Many of them were late but it was understandable because the other company's meeting also ended around that time. When most of our guests arrived, we started our event with a frisbee game. Err... Basically that was my first time exposure to such kind of nice game.
FRISBEE???
What is that??? Alright, let me tell you what it is. Do you all know the dog game... the owner throw the plate towards a direction and the dog runs for it? Yes I hope you all will understand. hahahaha. The game is some sort like that. I dono how to explain but it is really FUN!!!!!!

After we ended that session, we washed up ourselves and ready for the dinner...... We had a great fellowship time. I met with some friends that I met during the Advance NCOs Training School (ANTS) such as Sharan, David...............
They are still very funny and friendly.

After that Mr. Michael Yei gave a speech. The speech was as good as a leadership training class. He told us a few points that I think it is really useful.

*If you are on time, you are late.

*We must have inter-personal skills
(The skills to mix around with different people)

*We must have organising ability
(The skills to organise anything including practices and so on.)

*If you want to discipline others, discipline yourself first
(EX: If want others not to be late, we must first not to be late ourselves)

* We must have leadership skills
(Speak up and lead)

Maybe I missed out some points... XD but the points above are really great!!!!
After that we had a tower building game using newspaper. Who can build the tallest tower will be declare as the champion. LOL..... It was very extremely stupid and fun... Only those who participated will know how fun it was!!!!

After selecting the pro-tem KL State NCO Council, it marked the end of the event.

The Year End Party of 4S1 SMK Taman Desa 2009

This was indeed the best year end party that I attended in this school.........

Today was a very fun day. Most of my classmates came to school today (including those who likes to ''ponteng''). That was a spectacular one........ There's been some time since the last record of good attendance for my class hahahahaha............. Don't scratch your head, this is the 4S1 2009. Hahahaha. . . . I don't mean to insult but this is the truth.

The party started at 9.50 a.m. which is the recess time. Sob...... I still need to do my prefect's duty. After the recess ended, I went back to my class and it the ''PARTY''!!!!!! Woohoo.......! Actually I don't like party lol. This is due to the noise pollution and also the mess looking when a party is on...... I seriously dislike(not to say hate) that kind of things... Err... but when I was invited by my friends to join the party, I guess I have no choice but joining the party and have funs together. This is okay la, I don't really care about it.

The "FUNS" came when our 4S1 idol, Megat displayed his fantastic and also bombastic movements in front of all of us. He is indeed going to be another legend for SMK Taman Desa... He is pro ... hehehe..... Best in Singapore and JB!!!!!

During the middle of the party, I went out to 4S2 to chat with my friends and also attended Mr. Liang's addmath's class. I can't really catch up on what he taught but I think I can do it with more practices. I went back to my class when it was almost the end of the school.

That was the end of the party...... Well, I did not participate much in the party but anyway, thanks for the organiser and also all those who commited themselves in the preparations for the food. Thank you.

The Band Council Meeting

Woohoo!!! I have fully refilled my lost FIRE !!!!! Today in the band council, we discussed about The Pesta preparations.... We talked about those songs, sections problems and so on. Everything ran well and........... band members please be prepare for your hardcore hell practices!!! Mwahahahahahah............

After the meeting, the percussionists council members stayed back and we finalised our players for the upcoming Pesta. The arrangement is nicely done. Yeah!!! Although some of our actions might hurt the members' feeling but sorry... Please face the facts that the good one eventually will be selected for the events. If you are not chosen in the drumline, it does not mean that you have no potential or anything... It is just that you are not working harder than the others...

Please dun feel demorised or anything because we are still in one company. So, dun feel hard of it and keep your fire on and give your supports to those who are going for the competition!!!

WE.........ARE..........ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes!!!!

Finally all the hardworks bring me to a success in addmath. Terima kasih atas keberkatan Tuhan dan usaha saya yang berterusan.

I learnt a lesson... We must prepare earlier for something we want to achieve so that we can glide like an eagle and shine like a star!!!

Biology = Bodohlogy

Alamak!!! What kind of year end examination is this??? A lot of people got the full set of question paper before the test. I feel that this is really not fair lo. This is really extremely not fair for those people who had worked so hard for the test and even burn midnight oil almost everynight before the examination. For those people whose heart feels very imbalance, don't be sad... Keep on your hardworks... One day, we will be success.

Another thing... The teacher also like very lazy or some sort. Noob until go and copy the whole set of paper from the same book since the staring of the year. Somemore the book is a popular workbook. HELLO!!! Use brain a bit can or not????????? ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha!!!

I found a picture that I kena bully during the leaders' retreat 2009 on facebook.

SO, are you a confident person?

I found this meaningful article that may helps some of you.

How to Become Self Confident?

Do you feel yourself like being a very self confident person?If so – you are very lucky. Self confident persons are considered to be much more successful than those who find it hard to trust themselves. Most of us will agree that a person who speaks loud enough, keeps his head high and is assured in what he says has much more chance to persuade us and reach his aims. So it becomes obvious that persons with a lack of self confidence are not so inspiring and don’t look so charismatic and attractive. Of course all of us would like to be self confident, successful and always in front with great ideas and others support though it is not as easily done as it sounds. Reality shows that many people who have less self confidence would like but cheer up; if you are one of those – there is always a way to improve the situation.

Am I self confident?
If you feel you should be more self confident than you are now, first of all try to find out what do others think about you. Maybe this lack of self confidence is not obvious at all. If so, the only thing you have to do is to persuade yourself that you are a good and trustful person, which is not very hard having a strong support from your close people. The main things that show incontinence are fear of failure and avoidance of any risk, dismissing compliments you get, strong dependence of other people opinion and similar. If you have some of these features and that makes you feel uncomfortable it’s about time to get rid of them. Don’t think it will take only a few minutes because it will surely take some of your time, but if you be positive and expect good results it will be quicker.

How can I become more self confident?
Think of this process as of a journey. First of all you have to decide whether you really want this journey and decide to start it or not. Firstly, you will need feedback which will make you stronger for starting. Your feedback can be your past achievements, so write them down. Make a sheet of what you have already done that makes you feel proud of yourself. For example a very important project or even a good advice which you gave and it helped.
When you finish writing your past achievements, start a new sheet about your present situation. For this step you may use SWOT analysis. The basics of it are determination of your strength, weakness, opportunities and threats. Strength is what you have that other don’t for example when comparing yourself with your friends maybe you have some special features like education, specialty, sense of humor, look and similar. Do something similar defining your weaknesses which will be mostly your complexes. Opportunities are all means and ways which you could use for improving your personality like moving to a new place, changing job, taking a holiday or even meeting new people. Treats will be all obstacles which can appear while using opportunities.
The next step is setting up of your future goals. SWOT analysis is a very good way to see what you are and see what you should improve and what to avoid for reaching some goals. When you have past achievements and a reali...

What should I DO???

Today, I felt very unhappy but I am not sad... I do not know how to express myself. I don't understand what and why this is happening to me. Haiz............

Now is 11.16p.m.

I feel very nervous and also excited because I'm going to get 5 subjects' results tomorrow. Wish myself good luck.

1st Drum stick that I obtain

Today I finally bought a Vic Firth marching snare drum stick in Kuala Lumpur. This is the first drum stick that 'I' own. It is really a nice feeling playing with my own drum stick. Woohoo!!!

After buying the drum stick, I went to YMCA for the percussion extra practice. I just enjoy playing with a bunch of people la.

Sometimes, it is nice to play and create some own solo but playing with friends also has its fun. When the sound of snare drum beats combine as one.... It is just as good as listening to your heart beats. Just love to play drum !!!

31 October Prefect farewell party

Today is a BB meeting day again. Nice! I came to YMCA by 10.30 morning. After getting my breakfast, I started to practice my snare drum as usual but I started the practice earlier this time because I know I am going to take down some drummers in Pesta competition 2010.

Nice practice for me today. I feel so syok hari ini. After the band practice, it was the parade time. Unfortunately, the hall was used by other people today. So, we are forced to use the childcare centre as our meeting spot. A BB guy from Bintulu called Vincent seems like joining our company. Congratulation because you came to the right place. Lol~ Alright anyway I would like to welcome him.

Nothing special until the drill time... The basketball court was flooded by cars. There are only some little spaces left for us to do drill. Many craps appear which I don't like much such as sudden punishments. That took up much time... of us like some kind of wasting time. Although I am not in the training team but I can feel the stupidness if I was inside there doing such things. I think this problem is because of too many 'teachers'. Usually that is not my style of teaching drill because I know that one person is good enough to take down the whole squad already. The rest if want to help then just shut up and check the mistake and be like second eye only la. What for bising-bising ka sana??? I also do not know why I am doing such thing in drill teaching...

Haiz I'll correct this thing when the next drill time comes...........

After parade, Ewe Jin and I went to the prefect farewell party at the Bukit Jalil Golf Club with the help of Capt. Tan. It was a nice place. Once we both got there, the party had already reached its 50%. There are some performances that we watched like the funny sketch. Not bad... Then, next is Eric with his Tenor saxophone performance which I think is the best performance of the day. He is good. Nice to watch your show after one year never listen to what you play. LOL.

After that was game time. I felt so sleepy and suddenly I was called up to the stage to join in the game. Hahahahaha it is so 'mungen'. I do not know what was I doing too. LOL. Then, that guy call Kok Yong, which is one of the BB member too approached Ewe Jin and me. He made us laughed like insane because he kept on doing some 'unpredictable' things. Thank you very much. Without you, this party will be very boring for me hahahaha. (For me only)

I got the 2nd prize for the academic thinge for the third consecutive times... Haiz, every year I also getting the same thing but this year it is a bit slightly different because the file is useful for me for right now. So, after the prize giving, that marked the end of the party.

Year end examination OVER!!!

Today is the last day for my school's Form 4's exam. Woo hoo finally this challenging event has comes to a fullstop. I feel so happy because I got the highest mark for the Mathematics subject. Finally, my hard works put me to the top among all in this subject. It's been 1 year since my last grab for the highest mark in Mathematics. Hope everyone will work hard and do well in their exam.

Year 2009... I had my worst birthday on 8 August 2009

That was a Saturday. I went for BB meeting as usual. Most of them never notice that it was my birthday. Only those who are very close to me came and slapped me. Ouch! Never mind, I had already used to it. (It was a BB culture) Lol. At night, I planned to go back early to celebrate but unfortunately there is a band council meeting. I am forced to stay back. I reached my house at 10.00 p.m.. I took my dinner only with my brother. Then I went to sleep because I was too exhausted. It was indeed a normal day rather than my birthday. Sweat!!!

3rd KL 52nd Enrolment & Service Day

As past years we did, every boy needs to get to the company by morning. It is the same for everyone this year but different for me. It is very unfortunate for me to get chicken pox and is unable to attend this meaningful event in my uniform.

I went for the service at 4.30p.m. I was ‘locked’ inside the control room to view the events so that I will not get contact with the boys. There were a few teacher who attend this function. Namely, Pn. Adeline, Pn. Koh Pang Hwa, Miss Ho and also Pn. Lau.
Thanks for attending the event.

The service starts with a ‘Guard of Honour’ which I do not stand a chance to see. Then it is followed by a speech from Mr. Joshua, our guest of honour and also Captain Tan Chee Keong. Then, it comes to the awards giving ceremony. Everyone looks satisfied with the badges they got. Haizz.......... I can only hear my awards and cannot get them on that day. Then, our marching brass band performed a few songs – ‘Apple pie’, ‘Colours of the Wind’ and also ‘Tequila’. Not bad... Everytime when I was playing inside the band I feel that it is so ‘Noob’ but from the audience view, the sound effect is different. Quiet good but there is still a lot to improve.

Then, the most ‘kan chiong’ part arrives...... It is the promotion...... First, it is the promotion of lance corporals, then staff sergeants, corporals and finally sergeants. I would say it is quiet shocking when they announce the promotion of staff sergeants. It is due to the extinct of staff sergeants since year 2004 or 2005 and finally there are people who appointed as staff sergeants.

Then, L/CPL Sean Au, last year’s Best Boy and me, last year’s Best Recruit were both promoted to SERGEANT??!!!?!! We were shocked.......

This year there are 3 Form 2 new lance corporals. I think many people will say no quality or whatever kind of stuffs but let me tell you if you are really better than those people, you are already promoted. If you are not satisfied don’t quit because it is like when you cannot solve a problem, then you take a knife and commit suicide. With that you are not even up to the standard of a BB boy. When you are facing a problem, do your best and find out the reason behind why you are not promoted from Captain or officers and correct yourself immediately and works towards your aim. If you are not promoted, it does not mean you are no good, it is just because you work not enough hard. Continue your hard works... Never give up. A very good example is shown through L/CPL Henry Chow. After 6 years only he got promoted. Don’t laugh because he showed a very good mentality to stay in the company to serve and not quit just because of never get promote in 1 year or 2 years time.

Let us open our mind & STRIVE FOR THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

Pertandingan Kawad Kaki SMK Taman Desa 2009

This is the video for the competition
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd50-5_C0FA
Lol. Sorry, I do not know how to make a better link to the video.

Finally the day has come........
Everything must be settle on the spot.........
Friends for yesterdays, ENEMIES for the day.................
Today is our school annual Footdrill Competition. People have been practicing for days and months, so long just only for this moment, for a very final showdown on the drill ground.

There are total of 8 uniform groups in our school that took part in this competition:
1. The Boys’ Brigade (Briged Putera)
2. The Girls’ Brigade (Briged Puteri)
3. Kadet Polis
4. KRS
5. Pengakap
6. Pandu Puteri
7. St. John Ambulance
8. Red Crescent Society (PBSM)

I’m from The Boys’ Brigade and I hold the responsibility as the commander of the team. This is my first time experience of being the commander of a team for competition.
Months before the competition, we had plenty of ‘hell style’ practices for this competition. For example, we had things like ‘night drills’ which means practices at night. This is due the combination of our members from morning and also afternoon session. This is very normal to us as we had made this almost our culture.
The MOST extreme part is the final week before the competition where we had almost everyday practice from 10.30a.m. till 3.30p.m. We practiced very hard and gained esprit de corps and spirits among ourselves.
I love the part where we put on our boots. Our boots are known as our ‘Ultimate Weapons’ as it can cover the minor untogetherness. When we practice at the ‘Dewan Tertutup’ sometimes when we were too tired under the sun, the echo of our stamping is really loud at nice. There is where we gain our spirits from.

>>>>>>>THE DAY OF IT<<<<<<<
Before the uniform inspection, I motivate the boys as I seldom did that. I was very glad when NCOs, officers and those seniors came and raise our ‘FIRE’ and gave us supports. I want to give my thanks from the deepest of my heart.

‘’Sekarang, dipersilakan Pasukan Briged Putera.............’’ Then it was our turn to show our skills. When the team marches in, there is a kind of wind that is very strong. Of course the wind is not as strong as the KL State drill 2008 1st team of 3rd KL Coy but it still ‘boleh tahan’. Everything goes well. From my view, I can see some mistakes. Let me list it out so that next generations can work on it:

1. The part where people start the basic drill, 1 line’s alignment out- Edgar’s line.
2. Buka Barisan during perlahan jalan although the stamping is together but the lines are a bit, slightly out.
3. Basic drill basically is like that. Now the formation, people forget as usual each year will happen.
4. My haversack snaps off. Next time please put safety pin at the back of the sticking thing (Velcro) on the haversack.
5. Timing is too fast for some parts. I finally figure this out why. It is because the ‘cepat jalan’ no hand swing. People tend to go fast. When you swing your hands you will not be fast because it takes time to swing your hands. So, if possible next time don’t do this kind of formation.


RESUME*********************

The time during competition, I used my voice till the highest level of my shouting skills – Loud & Clear without saving any voices. Everything goes well until my haversack snaps off. I march on without caring about that. When we march out, the crowd claps very loud.

After I fall the team out, I cried. This is my second time of crying because of drill. The first time is when I made a wrong move in the KL State drill 2008 final night practice. So, this is the second time. I never cried it out loud and I ‘tahan’ it. Just a little tears drip off from my eyes. It is very hard to stop it because once I think about the haversack I just couldn’t control myself. Wai Kien and Justin came to me and calm me down. Thank you, comrades..........

After I see the Kadet Polis drill, I regain the hope of winning again. They have done quiet a lot of obvious mistakes as in their uniform and drill movements. Anyway, they are still the strongest opponent we are facing.

Finally, this came to an end. The results are out. Everyone gathered at the competition ground. When they are announcing ‘’Tempat Ketiga dimenangi oleh......’’,
my heartbeat went double because I hope it doesn’t turn up like last year....... ‘’PBSM’’
My heart is saying ‘’Yes’’. Next, ‘’tempat kedua dimenangi oleh....................’’ Everyone gets very nervous. It is BB or Kadet or others................ .......... ‘’Kadet Polis’’.

Then, people claps and cheer for Kadet Polis as they are the famous one BUT our seniors’ clapping are not for them but for us....... hahahahah LOL..... It is so funny I can say. ‘’Tempat pertama dimenangi oleh pasukan Briged Putera’’. YO, Yeah man!!!!!!!!!
After 2 years never get champions, finally we made this comes true again!!!!!!!

Besides, I had also won the award called ‘Ketua Platun Terbaik’, also known as the Best Commander Award. I was really happy.

Below are the results of it:
JOHAN : Briged Putera
NAIB JOHAN : Kadet Polis
TEMPAT KETIGA : PBSM
I feel very joyful that day. Many of our Ex-members came and cheer for us when we did the 3rd KL cheer ending. Thank you boys, you all are the ONE that bring back the BB’s glory in SMK Taman Desa. I salute you all, my brothers.........

INTRO..............

This blog will record some of the important things in my life........ SOME
