    It was the proudest moment when I hear from Nee Ping that moe than 10 of my friends 8 Labuan got 4 flat. It was a dream come true. However, I feel that I didn't do well in my studies 8 UTP. So, I'm using the same old trick. The DARE.
    Well I guess that there wasn't anyone pushing me to strive harder 8 UTP. So, Nee Ping dare me to get 4 flat. It was a good challenge for me to start a new year with. So, whenever I read this blog, I will remind myself of the bet that I had with her. Have to strive harder and work up to the top. Well, I never actually been up to the top. I wonder what it is like to be there?? Don't wonder too much before u achieve it.
    Just a reminder, I was once dare by Chee Ming to get good result. At that time I was num 7 in my class. He say I was stupid and useless, so I study hard and got among the best the next time. I finish num 2, just behind Tze Sen. Lose by five  marks. Anyway, didn't include art in the test was my saviour because I easily lose up to 40 marks for that subject alone whereas I slowly gain advantage over my friends few marks for each subject. That's why I always lose.
    I'm still wondering how did I do 8 UTP. Well the result should be around 11 or 12 this month. But sad, I'm attending a scholars camp in N9 that time so can't check until I get back to U. That is even after my trip to melaka. Then can visit Chee Ming 8 Melaka.
    Feel really really curious about it. Well, it won't be good coz I didn't get good marks for the tutorials n test then I can't do many questions in the final exam. You can make your own judgement for what I'm expecting.

complexity

    I still remember that Edgar used to say about my writing technique which is not only complex but also long windled and full with information. Why??? Well you will have to ask my form three teacher in school. She started the initiative for me to read our local newspaper, Borneo Post. Well in this paper you can read loads of complex writing put up highly Educated Sarawakian who are not afraid to voice up their opinion publicly. This is freedom of expression. Anyway, I will try not to write too many information in a single sentence like I used to. However, habits are hard to cahnge especially when I had being used to this particular writing style. May be this is a style inherited to true bornean. Sorry I prefer to be called a Bornean compared to Malaysians which seems too Malayness in it.
    Anyway try grab one copy of Borneo Post which is full of Liberal Ideas and the writing style is much more complex compared to one sided writing of political party controlled paper like star, BH and others if you know what I mean. We have many expat who wrote based on their years of overseas experince and practices which is compared to the typical Malaysian lifestyle. After reading, I felt more revitalised and  feel much alive as I haven't  been reading such writing where there is no fear of expressing one's view and opinion on how to do something in a better way which is being practiced abroad.
