A tribute to my alma matter

ha... u just know one fine day you'd wake up with a tag in your face. Thanks windgedman. But this is different and what a coincidence it is as I had only a few days ago got in touch with a loooooooooong lost childhood-school mate and our chats were none other than the good-old school days and how we are now. Gosh its been ages!

Its been 12 years (stop counting my age perrrlease) since I last step foot in my starch-laden uniform into my alma matter, so here goes...

My school badge

the school!!

How many schools did you go to

Unlike some people, my schooling journey were plain jane, as straight as a ruler in terms of my progression from kindergarten (yes, ulu places have kindergarten!) to primary and secondary and yet unique. Unique in the sense that I actually attended two primary school at the same time, one in the morning/afternoon and one at night!!!! The night one being a Chinese-medium school which I was forced to attend by some far-sighted visionary who predicted China will be the next superpower, hence the need to know Mandarin. Hmm.. too bad dude, all forgotten liao. Bu huey chiang hwa-yee!

So I'd only attended two national schools which bore the same name, bit more than 5 minutes away from my house and yes ... both were not co-ed (no joke!) Which made it easy for a forgetful-jones like me to remember where the school is and what's the full version of my school rally.

All through our classes a voice is resounding
Promptly respond to your duty’s sweet call
Harken you all for the trumpet is sounding
Your Mater’s proclaiming her watchwords to all
Forward her children dear, ever with heart sincere
Render with joy to your Mater her due
All that is vile reject, Heaven will e’er protect
Sons of St. Anthony’s valiant and true
Charity unfeigned your motto upholding
Forward with courage in ways that are just
True to your standard be doing and daring
As faithful Anthonian in heaven your trust
(could well be the next bjam cooldown song eh? hehehe...)
Was I the studious nerd or the last minute hero
hmm.. tough one. Yes and NO! depends on the subject actually. Loved physics but loathed Chemistry. Enjoyed English classed but hated Arts and Chemistry. Ha, ok ok.. so I guess this answered the question.

But then again, I reckon studying has much been a major past-time-all-time high favourite, after all, there isnt much to distract one attention in a 20000 sqft town surrounded by palm trees and rubber plantations, is there?

Was I the class 'taiko' (troublemaker) or the teachers' pet?
hmm.. yes and no again! I'm such a chameleon back at home! If you run a check on me, chances are my blood-stained ruler is still stucked in the discipline-master dusty old 555 scrap book (yes, they do come in large sizes!) but being a shrewed prefect and having a floating halo does get me out of trouble more often than not. The most memorable misdeameanour that had my finger-prints were this incident where the TOP 2 Science class decided to revolt by throwing party during our school's canteen day. Whats the fuss u'd ask... that's because we actually locked access to our classes (hehe.. exclusive leh) and thrashing out loud party numbers. Well, if you still wanna know what happened next ... think standing in the middle of the school field, recess hour, up on the wooden chairs as waiting for out time to be crucifixed!

p/s : i was the class monitor!

What was the biggest rule I broke in school.
Big time ... fighting! Apart from the countless tabung uji that I have destroyed in the Chemistry lab (hated the subject you see) ... Yours truly actually has a history of raging-hormones-gone-awry in school. neway, fat chance if you'd expect some juicy gist in here!! Nop nop nop ... this i'm taking to the grave.

Three subjects I enjoyed the most
Physics ... physics and physics!!! Ah, i could almost swore that I thought I could well be an astronomer! No kidding, I mean I hallucinated and day dream so much about the law of psyhics and had this special bonds with those heavenly effects that I literally spent most of my time reading and reading about 'em.

Three teachers that inspired me
Puan Salmah - my Standard One class teacher, En Khairuddin - my Standard Six class teacher and Mrs Cyril Teoh - my secondary English teacher!!!

thanks dude for making me... you guys have been a bomb in making me who I am!!!

and to those whom I did not mention, you know what you have 'done' to me! 'thanks' for

1. knocking the Alam & Manusia book on my head .... at least now I'm more humane than you!

2. being such a man-bitch in Art class ... at least now I'm proud I scored better than you ace-pet student. Spending two hours in an art exam does make your rock looked better than mine!

3. introducing politics in class, at least now I know how humiliating it could be to get 46 votes when you're running for the state seats! and yes, never set Pendidikan Moral exam questions straight from the text book you moron and let your students wonder till the cow come home on who broke the window of Pak Ali's house...

and of course, Cikgu Salam, thanks for introducing Sex Education to young innnocent Form 1 students, you have revolutionise the teaching of History... now I could vividly remember how JWW Birch died in the river while bathing and the shape of Peninsular Malaysia with a cinch (content too graphic to be explained here!)

but finally, to those who had came and left no mark behind in my life, thanks too, at least I dont have to remember you too!

and to all Anthonians .. Class of 84-89, Class of 90-94, cheers!!!

I've as a last resort liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to kind of just fritter away time staring at it as a configuration of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and just think about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've eternally cool more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, dulcet boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I found the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Presentation Laser Crown Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a melodic thump, a spinning top, and a light reveal all rolled into one. Which is great relaxation! The gyroscope transfer outing object of about a minute. The laser slight show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure corresponding exactly bauble that my friends be subjected to also been most amused with.

My dogs are also nice-looking intrusive prevalent the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They each follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser slight boast, and also because it produces music. But after they got tempered to it, they've stopped barking but simply keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused nearby it. Occasionally it's proper to have entertaining toys on all sides the lineage so that you can pull out the toy on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you count fit out viands or sock changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such toy with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a light exposition with red, dispirited, and common colours. Pit oneself against a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser light show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that renowned but decorous plenty to treat any chic customer to the house. The gyroscope is red and negro, making it look particular cool, and slightly macho with that dragon imprint.

The music dismount attack make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also euphemistic pre-owned this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy terror of decorating the pension latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as correctly so that the laser insight show produces a dreamed-up effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the sunrise effects created a rather romanticist atmosphere. She loved it, not later than the way, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping put in favour of all gifts and ideas for fancied occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser radiance show gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a great Christmas give-away looking for the toddler or in spite of the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a kindly addition to the established Christmas decorations. I can fancy placing it within a mile of the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject anyway again!
