NIE was a success!!!

I post this blog is to tell you guys to join NIE but today I would like to show you guys my team this year. We finished everything in a rush but to me, it was beautiful. I must really give credit to Lim Kean Wooi and Loke Ren Zhang, for their effort towards this project. Let me introduce my team... By the way, we call our team 'That's enough' because the theme this year was 'Teen Angst' means problems we face as youth from smoking, to internet addiction. We chose this name because we wanted to let the youths of Malaysia know that there is always hope in life. There is always a choice in life. Anyway, back to the introducing...
This is Loke Ren Zhang. His a really smart kid and also a good friend. I chose him in my team because he is very hardworking and very helpful. He sacrifed a lot for this project. He is also very encouraging to me because when I'm down, he encourages me never give up and keep walking face up. His advice to me is very precious and helpful in life. His very humble and always good in many ways. Thanks Ren Zhang...!!!!!!!!!!
This is Kean Woi. His too really smart and also a good friend. He is very humble in his studies and character wise. His very good in computer and editing and stuff. I chose him because he always helps me a lot and as a friend, he is really a good one. His very honest and that's what makes this project a success. He is honest by telling us if he likes this or not and by doing that, it makes the project worth much. His actually our main editor. He did a fabolous job along with Ren Zhang but he still thinks it can be improved. Thanks Kean Woi!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Wei Shan. He is very friendly and kind. His also a very patient person. He is very good Sejarah. Telling you... He is always score A for sejarah since the first test. His a very good friend. I chose him in my team because I need someone as patient as him to help me think of ideas. His also good in editing. He designs very nice. He designed Brother Paul's farewell banner in front of our school. Very nice la!!!! His also very supportive and hardworking. Thanks Wei Shan!!!!
This is Justin. Yeap... He is sleeping not dead...Anyway, his our main thinker of ideas. His a really creative guy and he thinks outside the box. He willingly borrowed us his house to snap pictures for this project. There was one picture where by he needed to step on the balcony and guess what, he did. Of course someone was holding his hand. I chose him because of his brain that contains valueble knowledge and ideas that helps us to make this project a success. Thanks a lot Justin!!!!!

I would also like to thank our parents, teachers (Especially Mr Liang for your guidance towards this project), my honourable tuition teacher, Mrs Loh, who willingly used her time to being interview at, the artists (Gareth,Joshua Ooi and Sarah Chong) and lastly Ong Ray Gan, for coming and support us by modelling for our photo op.

Back to the point, the project is actually called NIE (News Paper In Education). This project is for students all around Asia to show their talent. As you know, the theme for this year is Teen Angst. This is our topic:

1) Friends... We were told to design a magazine. So we called it 'The Essence of their Presence'. I'll post the essay another day.
2) The second one, we did on we putting on a mask all the time. We called it 'The Invincibe mask'
Before I pen off, I would like to thank everyone for making this project a success espcially my team members. I will post the essay another day. See ya...

Choral speakers are you ready !?!

The pressure was on. From the throat to the neck to the feet we had pain. Screaming and shouting across the hall could be heard. 'ENOUGH TEACHER, LET US REST' said us and the teacher replied 'NO! NOT GOOD ENOUGH...AGAIN'. The agony of leaving the hall was so strong but overall it was really fun. We got to give ideas on the lines that needed. There was pain and joy. I got to meet many new friends and know them much better. I did not expect choral speaking to be so fun. Our topic this year was about Global Warming. We had a good script thanks to Teacher Munira, Teacher Kulwinder and not forgetting our hardworking and never tired teacher, Miss Yeoh. Miss Yeoh was given the responsibilty to make sure we get the letters we were requied to. Teacher Munira taught us everything we had to know about choral speaking. She too taught us and trained us to perfection. BUT on that day, I did a mistake. It was so embarassing.... The audience didin't realise so who cares? Teacher Kulwinder was helping Teacher Munira train us. Her famous quatation was 'Want to get a slap, ah?'. She always aimed at Gaurav, as he was the joker in our team. Sorry I didn't get to show you guys the video of our choral speaking cause our camera man accidentaly deleted ours. These are some pictures of our intests practices during the holiday... Introducing the back row!!!!!!!!! That's my row. We were given 'special' attention as the back row gives a big impact to the performances. We were screamed! We were pressured by everyone to do our best. This is Raymond Teoh. Our high class conductor for many years. He knows a lot about choral speaking and he is very fun. His always very busy but he scarifed his time to come and help us out. We had a lot of fun with him as our conductor. He keeps very calm when we do mistakes and teaches us a lot of stuff.
Sorry but these are only my photos left after my laptop crashed. So sorry, but I'll post another one later on. See ya.... We won third place for your info... Bye....

My desicion is finale

OK... I won't end this blog and I shall continue.
