Mr Chin aka Superman

Don't be surprise by my title. He is indeed. Well, the superman came to our rescue last Saturday,during our RC farewell. I went to school quite early, (last minute MC)
,nevertheless to help Jocelyn and the team too. Guess what, everything is ok except for the mics...We were so frustrated and anxious( we thought we could fix them ourselves). How wrong were we! THankfully, we remembered Mr Chin ( our physics teacher/uncle mic). The prob now, we can't contact him. Suddenly ( Ta da) I remembered that his son and Yin YIn( my cousin) are classmates. So, I called her.
" Hello, Yin. Do you have ***'s house number?"
*pause* for a moment ( She must be wondering what's wrong with me)
" Oh, you want to contact his dad,right?"
*Sigh*
"Yes"
" But, I don't have his house num, only his handphone's num"
What?? I braved myself to be muka tembok for the sake of saving the RC team.
" Nevermind, I can talk to him too."
After receiving the num, I dialled the num.
Someone picked up the phone. It's a male voice, certainly not Mr Chin's.
So, I explained what happened and asked whether I can speak to Mr Chin.
He said ok, and my gosh I heard the shouting.
He was shouting what I will shout if I was in his shoes.
"Pa.....Pa...."
After a moment, the very same person asked me to wait. So, I waited.
In between, I heard our superhero asking our superhero's son who called etc, etc.
Lo and behold, he finally picked up the phone.
In a polite manner, I explained what happen this and that.
To my surprise, he was willing to come to school and help us( at first we just wanted to ask for instructions)
So, I told him to come around 9.
Tick tok, Tick, Tok(x I dun know how many times)
he arrived at 9.40 ( Jocelyn and I have counted so many motorcycles until we even forgot what we were doing outside the gate)
Anyway, we thanked him.
However, he made us laugh out loud when he took his comb and comb his hair.
He even" blame" us for waking him up on a beautiful morning where he was dreaming about us. * Sigh* Sir, you did it again.
To cut the long story short, he came and fix the mic and everything ran smoothly.
From the bottom of my heart, I really respect Mr Chin as a physics teacher and a warga pendidik. I have heard countless comments about him( some are so ridiculous and I don't want to talk about them or the people that said it), but we have to be fair when it comes to judging others. Well, minus his "jokes" in class, I think Mr Chin is a nice teacher. I really saw a different side of Mr Chin that day, a quality that a lot of people( and also teachers) lack nowadays.( dedikasi).Thank you, Mr Chin for making the RC farewell a success, may God bless you! Looking forward to be your student next year!

Suddenly

I know I shouldn't think about all these when my final(note: FINAL!) exam is coming soon.
Suddenly, I just thought about some family friends.( in fact they are also in one family)
They really impacted my life,I miss them a lot.
Sometimes, it's just so hard to admit that we care and we love, isn't it?
One of my best friend told me recently,
"I was once afraid to say I love you to anybody"
I sighed, am I the same too?

Blame it on movies or books, they often potray human relationships in a happy manner,which is totally untrue.
Relationships can die off easily.
But( the big BUT):)
THere is always hope!
Sometimes when we are so used to a person's nature , we tend to create some sort of a bond with them. When they leave or we leave, the pain is there. For a period of time.

Sometimes, I do feel super inferior when I stand with my friends.
YOU NAMED IT
THEY HAVE IT

But guess what they told me
" I wish I could be like you"
I was ???
What?
" You are you. There's no faking or this and that."
Oh well, I'll take that as a compliment:)

One thing I learn during this few years, is to be your true self.
There's no point wearing a mask or putting a false front, because you are just lying to yourself.

Suddenly, I just had so many things to say. But I can't tell anybody. So, I better write it down and say it out loud!

Surprise,surprise...

Hey there, just want to let you guys know I have another blog .
joyceeong.blogspot.com

I just want to train myself in blogging , it depends on my mood, whether I want to do it My Way or Old is gold....
Sometimes, it's good to have two blogs, ( I have three!) Ha!
I began to love this blog and my other blog because they represent me a lot.
What about you? Are you lonesome tonight? Blog it or write it out!

With love,
Joycelyn

A great weekend!

I never felt this way before. I finally had the chance to read The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. Yup, I cried. It was totally emotional as I read about Steve and Ronnie. Well, it kinda makes me feel sweet too.( I think you know why)THen, as I watched one of my favorite singing competition on tv, I heard a song that I used to sing a long ever since I heard it. Although its lyrics are more appealing to the adults, but it has a deeper meaning in it. THe girl/woman in this song has been to many places, but she has not been to herself. How sad ,isn't it? I believe all of us are like that, it's so important to find ourselves. Forget about the fame and fortune, they won't bring you elsewhere.Sometimes, I do hope I can change things in the past, but after this small encounter and the sermon this Sunday, I began to realize I am not alone. I am not going to face this all by myself. I'. so blessed with a good family and supportive friends. I rediscover my passion in reading and writing, and as I went through my old diaries , the poems, and songs that I have written, I know one thing for sure. I am no longer the girl that I used to be.It is sometimes frightening to think that you will be an adult so soon and there are many decisions you have and you must make. Things just fall at the right place, I guess. And as time goes by, I can see myself developing many thoughts and imaginations , dreams that make me ask myself," Is this still me?" Sure, what is teenage life without a silly thing called puppy love? It's a good thing I studied in an all girls school as I can feel free to talk to my friends regarding this topic. However, I must admit that I do feel shy and awkward nowadays when I face boys. Hormones.....They play a role....
Sometimes, a gentle smile, a song and a hug can make you feel happy the whole day. AS I continue to explore the world and continue to receive God's love, I sincerely hope that at that finishing point, somebody ,greater than me will carry me on His shoulders!

feelings....

Feelings nothing more than feelings... I sometimes wonder how people live during the 80's... But guys the course really rocks!! I mean the English skills course. But, I'm very busy because I have to prepare for my public speaking. (Don't ask me anything, just hoping for the best)Anyway, my family and I are preparing to go on a holiday. Yeah!IT's actually the church camp in Pahang. I'm so excited. I am so speechless now.
Looking back these few months, I suddenly realize I've grown up so much. Just by looking at my parents,when I look at my own blog. ( Did I just say that? reaction came)
And it makes me come to my senses that not all things will be what you want to be. My friend , Jun Hui has just migrated to Canada for a better living. I missed her so much, but what can I do? But she left me with a book by one of my favorite author, Nicholas Sparks--THe Lucky One. I think I almost cried. THanks a lot, Jun. Perhaps when we met someday, you will think about the book. I think I am growing up very fast, but I'm happy to understand things that I never understood in the past. Leaving is part of growing whether we want to admit it or not. Well, it will hurt for some time , but at the the end of the day, you will feel content.

Holidays!!

Hey guys, it;s holidays again. So sorry for not updating my blog for almost a year. I'm really busy ( ahem) and lazy as well. But anyway, after thinking over and over again, I decided to give it a go. Here's what's gonna happen for this two weeks.
Monday and Tuesday---back to school for course. WEdnesday and Thursday---stuff
Friday to Sunday--- CHurch Camp in Pahang Woohoo! Monday -Wednesday---Stuff
THursday and Friday--- back to school for course. Sat to Sun--- Still haven't figure it out...
Your first reaction : What???
My reaction: What's wrong??
Your second reaction: I don't see any fun in it.
MY second reaction: You totally don't understand me then
Your third reaction: Fine.
MY last reaction: Fine!

Come on people , I'm not that typical person who hangs out at mall just to find a Gucci bag or whatever nice accessories ( I do love them) but( the BIG but) I love my books....( story books)You get me?
It sometimes make me wander am I a weird person? Because everyone around me seems to to be so in and I'm the outdated one. I know, I talk like an old lady but I can't help it. I listen to the 70's and 80's songs, I sometimes dress like a 36 instead of a 16. THis and that, that and this, but I'm still me. What do you expect me to do??
Go for a makeover, switch identity with someone, no way!! Probably nobody wants to be me, but I'm very happy with my self. I know this is too long, so, I'll continue at the next post.

Message to everyone!! Happy Holidays!!
