In order to prevent Hou Yi from threatening the people of clans, Chang-er sneaked in to Hou Yi’s room. (walks in silently) She hesitates for a while and decides to sacrifice herself by swallowing the whole pill. Suddenly, Hou Yi comes in to the room without her expectation. (Yue comes in) Chang-er is shocked by the presence of Hou Yi and swallows the pill immediately. (eat the pill) Instantly, she feels her body becoming lighter, slowly rising upwards and towards the sky. (Hui Wen flies)

Last Day of Life

If there is only 24 hours left in your life, what will you do at that moment???My mind was blanked when someone asked me as I never thought about it before…Never ever thought about it…Because I scared of dying…I do not want to leave this world, I do not want to leave my parents, my family and my friends…There are so many wonderful memories that make me can’t just leave like that…I have many things, many wishes that have not come true-- travelling throughout the world.

If I’m given last day in my life, honestly, I’ll flick through the photo album and reminisce over the nice memories in my life and remember all the people that I know. For me, the most important thing in my life is family, second is education and third is love.

Do you ever think of where you will go when you are dead???This is a scary question for me…In this 20th century, with all advanced technology, we still not able to explain where people will go when they are dead, we still cannot confirm is there a heaven and hell in the world…We will never get an answer as nobody come back to tell you where did they go, how is that place…

Everything in the world will not last long as well as human. I believe there are heaven and hell. If we behave very well before dead, we will go to heaven. If we are bad, then we will be sent to the hell. It’s like a cycle that everyone must go through this ordeal.

Do you ever think of suicide???Honestly, I had think of it, but as I said I have many things not yet finish, so I’m still survive until now…Once I think of dying, stress and pressure make me cannot breathe. Sadness and depression make me give up and heading to suicide. However, I’m rational. At least I think of my parents, I imagined how sad of them if they know I suicide.

Unprecedented National Day'09

It was a rainy day and we were all freezing in the bus which heading to Putrajaya for the rehearsal of National day 2009. I’m very unwilling to go for this useless rehearsal which do not means anything to me but there is no choice for me. Putrajaya really caught my eyes whereby the buildings there were so beautiful especially the bridge. It was very familiar to me as I came before for the interview of JPA scholarships. Around 1pm, we reached our destinations---B27apartment.

There were crowds which were from different colleges and a group of nurses checking everyone’s body temperature in order to prevent the spread of A (H1N1). I was “tagged” as a safe and healthy one: p..Hehe…I was “lucky” to be chosen as the leader of the room and “lucky” to be scolded by the “most gentle” lecturer in our college. Ok…never mind…calm down…she was fasting now…ok…be patient…So…10 of us were given the “best” room---L4U4 which the door gate needed half an hour to open by 2 person. After the briefing from lecturer, we went to collect our bag, cap that were sponsor by the government and the “most unique” baju kurung that I never seen before.

At that night, we went to the playground of the apartment and we snapped our childish faces there. I missed a lot as I was so “lucky” to be chosen for the briefing from the officers. Never mind…unless I still enjoyed very much with the “Mafia Game” before we slept.

4am in the morning (crazy) we woke up, 4.30am, we ate breakfast (I can’t eat anything else), 5am, we “rampas” bus to travel to the Parliament. 5.30-7am, freezing in the bus. 7-9.30am, waving flags like crazy people…9.30-10am, WALK back to where the buses parked. 10.30-12.30pm, sleep like pig...zzz…1-4.30pm, everyone sleep again except me, talking to the wall…At night, Dominos Pizza from May Jean’s parents!!Yeah!!T.T....thx …

Next morning…raining…we all gather at the car park and we captured all our memories. In the afternoon, we had rehearsal again. I began to feel dizzy now…..At night, we having egg tarts, “sao pau” and lime juice from May Jean’s parents again…thank you very much…your parents are so”wei da”…x.x…

A countdown ceremony is held outside the apartment. We gather together and taking photos non-stopping. We also have Andres as our “posing director”…..omg...so cute…I would never forget today as this was my first time to countdown for national day, the first time countdown with so many friends around. I remembered we formed a 14 verticals star with our fingers… Unprecedented!!!We sang the patriotic songs as loud as we can. We also sang birthday song to those who born on 31 August. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…MERDEKA!! Even though there were no fireworks, but we enjoyed ourselves very much…A memorable day ended at 2am in the next morning…

4.30am, everyone still in their dreams, unwilling to wake up. 5.30am, we rushed for the bus and we reached the Parliament at 7am. There were crowds with different traditional clothes and a lot of (journalist) taking photos as well as we came down the bus. I was so happy and HIGH!!!as I never faced such situations..I stood in front of the roadside with my friends. 4 of us were so HIGH!! We waved the flags and said Hi to the ministers who passed by. We successfully “attract” a lot of cameras oo…

We sang National songs and shouted the slogan”Rakyat didahulukan, Pencapaian diutamakan”as loud as we can. At the same time, we could heard 14 sounds of boom which symbolizes the 14 states in Malaysia. At the end, we took chances to say “GOODBYE” and shook hand with the ministers, and we finally saw Agong and our Prime Minister-Dato Seri Najib. Apart from that, we also took photos with some tourists from other countries…Feel so GOOOD!!!

Finally I had to say BYE to Putrajaya…how long I have to wait to come here again??Now I know how much fun I can found here…now I know how lucky I am…I hope that next year i can represent the school to come here again…

You and Me

A strong bond held us together in these 2 years time; it was unbelievable for me…I thought I will always be alone, I thought I will always sit alone at the corner, I thought I will just talk to myself in my whole life…unbelievable that you appeared in front of me, approached to me and willing to sit beside a bored person like me…

Making friends is like a tough nut to crack for me…There are always veils or even a big opaque object in front of my new friends. “Hi, I’m Si En. What’s your name?”That’s how my every introduction begins. That’s what I can think of and the next conversation is NOTHING! I can’t think of anything else to talk to my new friends honestly and so a started friendship will just faded away in silent.

Why I said that making friends is hard? For me, just making a just simple friend may just kill me…I don’t know why…I can’t find a topic to talk to my new friends, I’m not like Edward Cullen who can read people’s mind and can know what topic she like to talk to…I think that’s my problem…BIG problem!…that’s why people always say that I don’t know how to socialize with the others…it was OBVIOUS!…you can just count how many people walk or sit beside me, may be you can just recognize the person that always beside me.

Fortunately, we MET. I was so glad to have you as you’re just like me. You can be grouped into the quiet group…that’s my group… I’m the president, HAHA! It was so strange that you can read my mind and you can just see through my heart…When I’m upset, you won’t let me cry alone, you will sit beside me silently. That’s enough for me; at least I won’t feel lonely again. When I’m depressed, you will never disappear, you will be my private listener...no matter what you are always beside me…

Are our mind is a twins??? Your behavior and attitude on work are similar to me. You like to finish your task as fast as possible, you have high expectations on everything, you have many comments on everything and you always like to fight for the first…All these behaviors are same as me…

However, that’s nothing will last long…Away from “how many” miles…we are apart now…I miss you so much…miss you…you are not beside me anymore…there are no shoulder for me to cry on, nobody willing to become my listener …miss you…

Surely, this will be my very big sacrifices for my future…It was so hard to leave you….I consider again and again between you and my future, finally I give up you…Now, I regretted so much…but I can’t go back to the past, there is no turning way for me…Sorry that I left you…I’m so sorry…I prayed hardly that we will go through this ordeal audaciously, I promised I would not forget you no matter how many years or in anywhere, in whatever circumstances…no one could replace you in my life…we will always together…

逃亡

AH1N1 已成功地侵入我的学院。大家都人心惶惶，预备好安全措施以免成为下一个患者。今天的天气阴沉，像似要带来不好的预兆。班上的同学全約好到附近的超级市场购物，只留我独自一人在房里温书。昏昏欲睡中，房外的播音器传来一阵声响，要求不舒服的人们到某某地方集合。我好奇的也到了那里，只见医生各个戴着口罩，给他们诊断。我想这里越来越危险了，我们还能继续在这里坐以待毙吗？
紧张的气氛开始蔓延了，校方告诉我们需要被隔离。那我们能回家吗？我们一直追问他，最后他点了点头，说只有父母或亲戚载送才被允许回家。当时场面顿时慌乱，个个拿起手机纷纷给家人拨电话。我拼命保持镇定，告诉姑姑请她来载我回家。我看着我的同班同学，觉得校方的旨意好过分，她们现在该怎么回家呢？我不忍心看着她们留在这充满细菌的危险地方，最后我拜托我姑姑也顺便载她们到巴士站。
紧张的氛围使我脑海顿时一片混乱。我的双手颤抖着，竟把必需品于不必带的东西全参乱了。怎样？镇定下来吧！我就像逃亡似的把全部东西分别放进背包和衣橱里，把书桌上的东西全收起来。收得一干二净，真恨不得把所有东西都带回家。在这慌乱的一刻，我就像成了个逃亡的难民。。。

Experiences of Washing Toilets

It was my first time to wash people’s toilet—kindergarden’s toilet. I prayed for our group for not to be chosen to wash the toilet. Unfortunately, this enormous task fell on our shoulder. There were 6 toilets,2 washrooms and 1 storeroom.
Helping people is the best. I kept telling to myself in order to forget the irritating and disgusting toilets in front of me. When I opened the door of the last toilets, a disgusting smell flew towards my nose and made me sneeze. Obviously, there was something inside…… Haiz…never mind, helping people is good; I cleaned it up as that was my fate to see it there. Ok, now the next toilet…A huge spider with four pairs of legs climbing on the wall. It seems like doing their spider webs on the corner of the wall. How am I going to do with it? I was frightened and stood there motionless and cried for help. Luckily, I have a very responsible and brave group leader. She smashed the spider with a mop…Haha..it was dead!!!
After 1 hour washing and cleaning the toilet, it was done. The toilet seems clean and shiny…hehe…is all our efforts!!I was so happy to see our fruits finally…..

Queensbay一日游

Queensbay 一日游

1MT3浩浩荡荡的向Queensbay Mall 出发了。每个人的脸上都挂着笑容，期待着“出狱”的感觉。当我踏出学院的那一刻，我深深地吸了一口气，顿时觉得外面的空气好新鲜，虽然那是被马路上的汽车所污染了的空气。我“出狱”了！终于摆脱了学院里紧张的气氛和充满压力的氛围，现在的我觉得轻松自在。

第二次来到这里，感觉异常。我们到一间‘马桶’主题餐厅吃晚餐。TBOWL 的外表给人一种舒服的感觉，一看就知道他们的食物是昂贵的。我们一班人挤了进去，占了他们餐厅的一半。他们把浴缸当成桌子而马桶则当成椅子。餐具也是以马桶为主，因此，如果你想来尝试，最好先上厕所解决了才吃，不然你可能会在那马桶椅子上撒尿呢！：）

TBOWL 餐厅曾经在2008年被八度空间发掘，从此远近驰名。他们的食物并不是那么好吃，但餐厅的设计却我们的相机不停的操作，直到没电了才肯罢休。我想这是我毕生中难忘的经历。

新的一段人生

我想了好久，犹豫了好久，好久，好久。终于，我做了这艰难的决定，离开我的家人，与我的故乡说再见，拖着沉重的行李离开。我从来没有想过我会被录取，不，是根本不想被录取，因为这并不是我的梦想。可是，我再也没其他选择了，我只有逼迫自己做了这决定。这决定使我的梦想破碎，就在我下了这决心之后，我的未来就已注定了，注定成为一位教师。隔着车窗，我看着她，我眼睛模糊地泛着泪水，默默地挥了挥手，直到她在我眼前成了个黑点……

就这样我离开了，来到了一个陌生的地方——槟城师范学院。在茫茫人海中，我突然觉得我好渺小，穿梭在人来人往的人群中。我登记处认识了我的未来级任老师(Encik Yusof)，他是个很幽默的人，但他给我的第一个印象是个不认真的人。很幸运的，我能与她同房——美君。我们的第一次相遇是在面试厅里，像个混血儿，基督教徒，应该也是从小接受英文教育的大小姐吧！没想到我的猜测全是错误的。她是来自蒲种，出生于安顺（混血安顺与蒲种），很虔诚的佛教徒，会讲怪怪的华语，但竟会有流利的英文及福建话。最令我喜出望外的是她是个吉他手！她是个很好的室友，不会多管闲事，最重要的是她总会迁就我。可是，她有个缺点，就是没有主见。‘随便’这两个字就是她的口头禅，有时真让人忍受不了。还好我们到现在都没有争吵过，希望这会延续下去。

我陌生的床

我陌生的书桌

可怜…晾衣的地方

美君的作品—我

这就是我的宿舍。有两个床，书桌和衣橱。第一个印象是，陈旧，肮脏，简单。缺点是，没有晾衣的地方。最令我失望的是，厕所是供用的。我对这件学院已失望到极点。我不知道我有没有勇气在这里继续活下去？

在夜深人静的第一晚，我失眠了。疲累的双脚像走了几千里似的疼痛得让我睡不着觉。我的脑海里有着无数的问号使我辗转难眠。我躺在那陌生的床上，我想，我会在这里继续活下去吗？我能适应这里吗？能捱过这五年半吗？孤单与寂寞顿时环绕着我，五年半好长，我要怎么过？我想要回家！我想要回家啊！我终于在不知不觉中崩溃了。为什么我要做我没兴趣的事情，为什么要逼有没有用迫自己，我突然后悔了。但，我可以回头吗？我不知道我还有没有勇气走下去……我只有默默地哭泣……希望明天会更好……
