Yesterday, Today

It has been many years it has been since I wrote, if not at all, about my thoughts on life and whatnots. As most of you now know, our dearest friend Mak Pooi Guan is sadly no more. Kicked the bucket; bit the dust; cross the great divide; Mr. Chan Foi Onn would agree that no idiom can mask the grief of this tremendous loss.

Personally, I'm not a spiritual person. One exists as a collection of atoms, perhaps not different from perhaps the chair you are sitting on or the screen you are reading this on. Or, from a pseudo-scientific, philosophical point of view, are we a virtual creations of chemical and electrical impulses in a highly complex biological crucible that is the human mind? I believe that both are true in a realistic standpoint, however insensitive and austere it may seem; but it isn't all that simple.

Gradually this leads us to ponder upon our existence, as many do. Undeniably ours is a not as lasting as a large pine tree or as resilient as the minutest shrub along the motorway; so are we as insignificant as the universe suggests? Again, this may not be the case. No, it has nothing to do with DNA if that's what you're thinking of.

We define ourselves as a complex set of algorithms I guess we call a personality; input 'what do you want to eat?' for example and the output would be your favourite meal. Evidently not everything is an absolute answer. Many a time an unknown is introduced to our algorithm and even we could not predict our response to it. Interestingly, sometimes we hear things like 'I know you'll like this,' or 'I knew that isn't what you want,' especially from those closest to us. Seems that the phrase 'mother knows best' is true, and proves that one can know another better than themselves. So, does this mean parts of us exist in those around us in the form of memory?

Yes, very much so, even if our algorithm is constantly permutes. Our existence is not limited to the physical manifestation of atoms, or the chemical and biological processes within us; extended to the memories those around us our personality no matter how much or little that may be. Unto relating it to the unfortunate events of late, I urge everyone to remember our dear friend as best as we can; she will be sorely missed.

Some Suggestions of Gathering After Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang (English Version)

First of all, please don't mind my broken English. I don't know why most of our classmates hope to have a gathering, maybe we have never seen each other for a long time? Therefore, I wish to give some suggestions. Nowadays, most of us are further studying, so the chances we can meet each other will become lesser and lesser. What I think is, the time after Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang is a good chance to have a gathering. So, I hope most of us can join this gathering because we cannot always meet each other in the future.

The location of our school is too strategic, because it is located near some supermarkets, for example Mid Valley and Sunway Pyramid, so we have lots of choices. Just a suggestion, if we plan to go Sunway Pyramid, we can have lots of activities at there, for example ice skating, singing in Red Box or play in Sunway Lagoon.

We are no longer children because we have grown up, so I think we can travel further. I have a suggestion, I think we can go to Genting Highlands instead of Sunway Lagoon. If we have more time, we can go to our further place just like our class trip last year.

If most of us think that money is a problem, just treat that using money to buy happy. Because of most of us are further studying, this shows that our future will be very bright. Therefore, we don't need to mind about money problem, because we can earn the amount of money in the future, maybe 10 times, 100 times or even 1000 times! Who knows? In addition, the chances we can have a gathering will be lesser in the future, so I hope most of us will be able to join this gathering.

In conclusion, I know most people in this class hate. Anyway, I hope that you don't write anything that can hurt me in the Chat Box by saying a word politely "Please". I post this in nearby cyber cafe by paying RM2 because I don't have a computer at home. Now I want to tell the groups of people that don't want me to join this gathering or hate me a good news. I am not joining this meeting, because I did lots of serious and stupid things last time, until unforgivable, so I know that lots of you will not forgive what I had done. Therefore, I will join other meeting with my chess club friends and will not affect you all. I wish you all good luck and play happily on that day.

Anyway, I was a 5S4 2008 student, so I just do what I should do. Other than that, I only can give some suggestions and help you to make an easy gathering (go to nearby places only, and the most important is I am not joining), if you wish to go to further places, I am really sorry because I don't have the ability to make it. Thank you for reading my stupid post patiently.

Some Suggestions Of Gathering After Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang (Chinese Version)

不知道大家是否没有见面了,所以大家好像都很想有个聚会。如果是这样,我就给大家一点点意见。如今很多同班同学都升学去了,所以大家以后可见面的机会可能越来越少,就趁在 Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang 后,难得大家还有机会见面,希望大家能抽空参与这个聚会。

我们的学校的位子太美了,因为在坐落在很多超级市场的附近,例如 Mid Valley, Sunway Pyramid 等等,所以大家有很多选择。就如去 Sunway Pyramid,那里可以玩个尽快,例如溜冰 (ice skating),去 red box 唱一唱歌或去 Sunway Lagoon 玩。

我们都已经长大了,再也不算是个小孩,所以去较远的地方应该没问题吧!就举个例子,大家可去云顶高原(Genting Highlands)。那里也是应有尽有的。如果大家都有空的话,也可像去年的 class trip 一样,去更远的地方,或到郊外去放松压力。

如果大家认为费用会很高的话,就当着自己用金钱买快乐吧,因为大家都在升学,也就证明了前途一片光明,所以大家都不必计较钱的问题,因为以后必定可以赚回来的,可能几十倍,甚至几百倍或几千倍呢!还有,大家以后可见面的机会也会很少,所以这是个千载难逢的机会,希望大家不要错过。

总而言之,讨厌我的人呢我就在此求一求你们不要在 chat box 里说我的坏话,因为我家没有电脑,所以这个 post 是我在网吧 (cyber cafe) 给二令吉写的。我在此告诉不想我参与聚会的人好消息,就是我不会参与大家,因为我之前与大家的误会太深,直到无药可救,所以我认为很多人都不会原谅我的过失。因此,我会参与自己在本校象棋学会的朋友的聚会,决不会影响你们的。祝你们当天好运吧,玩开心一点!

虽然很多人都对我有偏见,但毕竟我还是 5S4 2008 的学生,所以该做的我都做了,现在希望有人可以帮我把这个 post 翻译去英文。还有,我只能给意见和帮忙大家搞一个简单的聚会(去较近的地方而已,还有我没参与),若要去比较远的地方我没能力搞这样的聚会,抱歉。谢谢大家肯读我这个又笨又蠢的人的 post 。

of awakenings...

As we parted our ways, we kept a piece of ourselves behind. Leaving them at the crossroads, hoping that one day, we would turn around, retrace those antediluvian steps and return home. As the cosmos grow older, slowly but surely, the footsteps blurred. Weeds and plants growing over those once familiar paths. These things that we left behind is our friendship and memories.

As time has gone on, none of us have grown younger, some of us probably passed their birthday. We have settled into our present condition, be it studying, bumming around or simply just soul searching and discovering onceself. But before those paths or bridges that we have made overgrow or collapse and crumble, let's retrace those steps. Let's have fun together and share memories that seem distant by now. Let's meet up before we start growing pot bellies and grey hair.

By now, you would know what I'm thinking. I'm jus posting the idea on the blog to collect some of your views and suggestions. If you have any queries or want to talk directly to anyone, Peter or James, we're your people.

I hope to hear from you guys soon. Talk to you guys about recent events and share past moments with each and everyone of us. To hear from you soon.

CHS Alumni

In case any of you do not know what an Alumni is, it is the former male and female students of a school, college or university.

Yes, I believe that all of us here qualify to join as we've completed our studies in Catholic High School. The first question comes to mind is why should I join?

The reason is to continue our high school experience together with our beloved high schoolmates in the future. They even suggested that there will be a special annual dinner organised separately for the younger alumni members, IF there is enough members.


So what's holding you back? Please proceed to http://proto.chsaa-pj.org/ and register now!

The membership fee is RM20 for a lifetime and it will be collected separately in the future. (Not during the online registration)


More updates to follow.

Do you remember?



The last day of SPM, the last day we were in our school uniforms.

Do you remember the euphoria? Do you remember the moment you walked out of school in your school uniforms for the last time? What was on your mind when you handed in your last paper? Were you eager to leave the school? Or did you look back and saviour the last few moments?

After SPM celebration

I woke up this morning realising that my high school life was over and will never come back again. I don't know why the feeling just came to me this morning, maybe I was in a state of denial all this while.



This is the only informal picture of the almost full class. I guess this is and was the the last photo of us together.

Whooops? Don't worry! I would be THREE (Supposed to be 'there') for you.

One final photo for today, I don't really have much pictures. I was really lazy and just wasn't in the mood to take more pictures when I was in class with you guys. Maybe it is true that we do not know how to appreciate things until it is really gone.


Is high school life really over? It just feels like school will start again after the holidays.
However, no matter how real it feels, it will never come back again.


CHEERS MY FELLOW 4S4/5S4 CLASSMATES!!!

干杯!!!

我对本班的感想

我原本来自4SF2,因为那班太乱了所以换班。本来去4S6的,然后又不知如何来了这里。不过,我并没有后悔做这决定。

以前刚进来这班时,我觉得有点遗憾,因为本来进4S6的,第二天突然又来了4S4,我也吓了一跳!我申请换班时请求上天保佑我不要来这班,其他班都无所谓。慢慢地,我发现大家都并没我所想象中的那样。久而久之,我认为本班比其他班都好,可能是因为我与大家相处得比较熟了吧!

这班虽然有时是吵了一点,但肯定比鸦雀无声好得多,因为这样才显示大家之间的感情良好。我们班也很multi-cultural,意思就是什么都会。例如,我很会下棋、Kong Weng 他们很会唱歌、Chee Keong 他们很会读书、Yin Bin 他们很会运动、Peter 他们很会辩论 (debate),还有很多呢!

这是我理想的一班,因为十全十美。我也感谢大家对我的教导,因为大家都改变了我的缺点。例如,以前的我是很害羞的,但现在的我还是吗?我也很珍惜这两年内大家一起走过的日子,任何事情都难不倒我们!我也在这班找到我自己。在这里,我要向大家有诚意地道歉道谢道歉是因为我知道自己做了很多错事,道谢则是因为大家对我的教诲。

伤心事我不想提那么多,我最后悔的就是讨厌女生。也是本班让我发现女生们并没我所想象中的那样难相处。她们也没那么脾气暴躁、小气,反而我觉得这些是一些男生的缺点。放心吧!就当没发生过好了,我也不去想太多伤心事。何必活在痛苦的记忆里?不去想,就是活下去的方法!

我希望这部落格是一个和平世界,而并不是战场,尤其是chat box。一点小事就吵架不会显得很无聊吗?在战争里,有一方认输并退出,但另一方却还想继续的话,那战争还是一样不会停止,反而会显示出赢家的残酷。没办法啦!我们人就是有这种缺点,若见到别人生气的话就会觉得爽快认为自己赢了,再加上嘴硬(其实心很软),就因为这样往往会发生很多不愉快的事情

两年的时间就在眨眼间过了。最后,我希望大家都有光明的前途,做是永远顺顺利利、身体健康。失败是成功之母,希望大家勇敢面对挫折,不要轻易放弃,成功的路就在眼前。爱迪生说过:“我们最大的弱点是轻易放弃。成功最确切的方法,永远是‘在试多一次’。

Our Last Voyage

As we filed out of the bus, I could not help but feel a torrent of nostalgia flood my soul. As memories of my high school years flashed before my eyes, the longing to spend more time with my friends grew more and more. As if the little stone within me grew to a boulder within the blink of an eye. Little did I know that I would not be able to.

As we part and walk our separate ways, some of us may meet, some of us may not see each other for the rest of our normal lives. We look down our separate paths and notice that we are not holding each other's hands but walking on our own, braving the merciless weather, alone... We walk our separate paths, hoping that we will meet each other along the way. We put aside our animosities and hatred to bridge the gap between us.

-------------------------------------

"Our Last Voyage" as I have titled this post, refers to our last journey together, to the land of the eagles. The thought of not seeing each other again pushed us forward and gave us courage that we never thought we had. We bridged the gap, hoping that this moment would never end. Whether it was sharing a burger at midnight or a bottle of *******; whether it was watching Arsenal beat Wigan or strolling on the beach, reminiscing those distant memories, we drew closer to each other.

And as the minute hand on our watches showed that this journey was about to end, a veil of sadness fell upon us and we just sat there in those last moments, sitting and spending precious time with our friends.

I will always remember our fun in the sea, spending time with my friends watching football and enjoying a local Ramli burger. I will remember playing that game of football and also trying so hard to push Lup Yeng up the Banana Boat. In class, I will remember those times we had to endure under the military regime of Pn Wong or the kind and patient Mr Tee. I will remember the name cards that Mr Chan made us do and eventually he turned into the English teacher we all loved.

As my parting words, I wish to apologise from deepest depths of my icy cold heart for any people I hurt. I often come across as a stuck up bast*rd and I realise that. I often don't share the same opinion and don't know when to shut my big mouth. I'm sorry. I would like to spend more time with you guys to make up for lost time but I now know that it is impossible. Again I say, I'm truly, truly sorry. Hope we can keep in touch and meet up one day. 10 years down the road, we must have a reunion.

-----------------------------------

On a serious note, I need suggestions on how to solve the picture problem. I do have some pictures but not all. I wish to propose that someone collect all pictures from everybody. I do realise that some pictures from the class trip are personal but for those which can be shared, please do so because there were many people who didn't have cameras that day. If someone can collect all the pictures and find a way to distribute them then everybody would be happy. So I need suggestions on how to collect and how to distribute the pictures.

There is another thing that Juliana and I are trying to formulate which is a time capsule. For those who don't know what it is it's basically a container that stores an item, whether valuable or not but important to the person at that moment in time. A few years or decades down the road, the people who buried the contained in the ground dig it up and take the items. The ultimate goal is to bring us together one day and relive those memories that we once shared as a class. Please leave your comments on this idea and suggestions on how to carry it out. I do hope that this comes true.

人生地铁

两年的时间就这样接近了尾声
班上的每时每刻也将成为过去式
人生,再一次进入下一个阶段
刚开始在本班,其实
只有所谓的陌生
好不容易,不,应该说是艰难的
认识了你们
是你们,让我度过了中四中五这段时间
是你们,让我感受到友情的真挚与可贵
是你们,让我经历这毕生难忘的日子
有人说人生有如地铁
相识离去就只那么一瞬间
但我们5s4只要肯抛开一切怨恨,团结一致
我相信这将会是一趟没有终点的友谊列车
无可否认的
我们正面临着人生重大的决折
往后的我们将各分东西
是的,中学时期就这么残酷的驶到了尽头
我不知道5s4所有人对我的看法如何
但我想要强调的,
5s4依然是最棒的!
有你们的存在更点缀了这多姿多彩的生活
我本身个性也许较为直率
这两年内如有任何冒犯
或中伤你们的地方
失礼了,在此深感抱歉本身并没恶意
最后,明天所有参与班级旅行的
愿大家把这一切美好回忆牢牢地锁在心中吧

An invaluable experience

Hello,

I am not sure who you guys see me as over the course of two years. Maybe I am known to some as some funny guy who always tries to crack a joke at every given opportunity, or maybe some may see me as a person who talks allot (In a positive or negative manner).

Just like many other fellow S4-ians, I disliked being in S4 during the first few weeks of our Form 4 years. I didn't really like the fact that there were so many people who I didn't really know. Fortunately, things changed and I started to enjoy every single moment of my final two years in high school.

Thinking back, does any one of you remember the old Mr. Chan? He used to be the hitler-style and totalitarian-dictatorship style teacher who demanded perfection and conformity. Remember those weird and troublesome "name-cards" we have to put on the table? We all hated that, but it all changed. Besides that, I am the one and only proud member of the "Shit-PPL" list. Haha! xD

The other thing that was quite significant in our class (at least for those around me) is the "ISA" movement. I cannot remember exactly how did this "ISA" trend start but I know for sure that our "elite" classmate Jonathan Wong is the proud founder of the "ISA" legend. For those of you who do not know why we really respect him, you must know that escapes almost every single wrongdoing and almost never repents.

(For the boys)
Furthermore, who can forget the PJPK training under Mr. Michael? I bet each and everyone of the boys reading this would be glad that it is finally over. Some of you may feel resentful as the some of the other classes can do as they wish during PJPK lessons. But why not look at it this way: Even if we went through the 'free PJPK lessons' over two years, it would all have come to an end like this. Isn't going for Mr. Michael's training better off? At least, we can proudly announce that we actually survived his training for two years and gone through it even though I believe most of us didn't really like it.

Maybe I've not been socialising in class enough, or maybe I just didn't bother to know each one of you better. It doesn't really matter who or what you think you are, I always have a firm belief that everyone was born different from the others. Some of us may be very much different from the majority, but it is always fair and good to understand from their point of view why they behave in such a way.

There isn't any main 'focus' in this post, I am just writing this as thoughts passes by. Maybe there will be more thoughts to come in future posts.

Before I end my post, I would like to apologise for all the things I've said or done that have effected any of you emotionally or physically. Sorry for all the grammatical errors also.


Regards,


Peter

It's goodbye for now...

I'll miss each and everyone of you. Eventhough I'm just someone sitting infront, not knowing whataver you guys are doing behind me, I'll still miss the noise of 5S4. The laughter from every corner of the class, will always be kept locked in my heart.

Gosh...I still remember the first day in form 4, I seriously didn't like this class. Everyone was a stranger to me. I came from 3B5, tagging along a few guys not even a girl. Duno who to sit with and duno who to mix with. It was lonely. Since form 1 till now, I always ended up in a class with friends that aren't close to me. Maybe God is saying GO MIX AROUND WITH OTHERS!

I seriously didn't enjoy being in this class at the beginning. Felt like I'm a stranger. Sometimes I felt that its better to leave the class to do my duties than to be in class. But I was wrong. Thank God I manage fit myself in some group (dun think i need to mention) and had my life going. Felt like I have a family again. They took care of me and I took care of them (at least I think did) XD.

Well, we should keep in touch always. Our class is amazing and you won't find any class like ours. S4 rox!! ^^ Although we'll all be seperated, but I believe, someday we'll meet again. It's goodbye for now. Love ya S4, always.

at the crossroads...

When you reach a crossroad, you stop and wonder which way to go, which way will bring you to your destination. Left, right or forward, we take our separate paths to our destination, our goal and ambition no matter how insignificant or important it may be. Small step in one direction is another step away from a friend, but yet we take it. As we go towards the horizon, we lose sight of one another.

10 years from now, we meet up at a gathering. Some grow, some stay the same beautiful or handsome face they were in high school. The crossroads that separated us also brought us together. How ironic...

Our graduation came and went without many tears shed. Knowing that it was going to be the last day in school, I stopped and looked around, thinking of how much I would miss this somewhat weird yet warm and welcoming facade. I will miss the smiles stretching broadly over the faces of my friends. I will miss the plaintive atmosphere that hung around the people I talked to. I will miss the homework and pile of things to study before that ever so important school term exam. I will miss the teachers "advising" me to study hard because I still have time. All these things and more, I will miss ever so dearly.

But most importantly, I will miss you guys in 5S4. As Jidangao said, we didn't start off on the best of terms but did anything great start off well at the first meeting? No! Over time, we formed our alliances, our friendships. Though fragile, yet we stuck with it and nurtured it. We got closer to each other and managed to become the best bevy of classmates I could ever have. As the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words but I believe an act speaks louder. After our impending doom, SPM, let's keep in touch because I myself will feel guilty if no gathering or outing were done.

Let's put aside our differences and hatred, shake hands and become the best class in CHS ever. 10 years done the road, hopefully shorter, let's meet up, whether online or in person. Share career stories, some family stories. That is the kind of thing I am looking toward. Maybe that's why I didn't shed a tear, the fact that I will meet you guys again in the distant future. For my parting message, I chose a quotation from Mark Twain:

The holy passion of friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.

It has been a pleasure and with utmost gratefulness that I say goodbye to the best class a man could have. Safe journeys and to our next meeting.

毕业典礼那天 (31-8-2008)

光阴似箭,在 5S4 里的两年就这样过去了。我们在公中的五年 (大多数的人) 也就在一眨眼间过去了。大家有何感想呢?开心还是伤心?可说是有彼此感觉,开心是因为离成功的路越来越近,而伤心的是离别的心情和我们不可能再可以感受到毕业典礼的气氛 (除非有念 Form 6,但大多数的人都会去读 college)。

在这天,很多人都会带 camera 去学校拍照 (肯定啦!不然没机会了!难道在 SPM 拍吗?不好意思,要读书!),我们班当然也一样。我们也变得特别活跃,尤其是与朋友们讲话和拍照。今天也是我们在公中的五年里最特别的一天。我认为印象最深刻的是在礼堂里唱歌 (尤其是“Auld Lang Syne”和 “友谊万岁” ) 的时刻。

在礼堂里,大家都非常活跃,不像平时在 tapak perhimpunan ,懒洋洋的。在唱歌时,大家都非常有活力,尽量大声唱,但平时在周会唱国歌、州歌和校歌时好像不是这样的是吗?我猜测错了一点,为什么毕业典礼圆满结束后 (不是前) 没有人哭呢?记得小学时好像有很多人哭得很难看。这证明大家已经长大了,不再是六年级的小学生。

我曾经与 5S4 有很多恩恩怨怨,但这始终也过去了。最记得是以前我曾经 post 过 “我爱 5s4”,但大家却当我在说“公鸡话”。当时我觉得很失望,因为我的认真被别人当笑柄。如今,我已不介意以前不愉快的事,因为继续想下去只会折磨自己。记得什么是宽容吗?原谅别人的过失,同时也在放过自己

希望建宏 (Kien Hoong)不要介意这个部分。我与你的性格可说是水火不相容,但我不想与你发生争执,因为这样对双方都不好。可能你很介意我每次与 Yi En 讲话、坐你位子等等,你骂过我很多次,但我不曾顶嘴,除了有一次我心情不好不小心发泄出来,但我最后还是向你道歉。无论如何,我都当全班人是好友也包括你,只是看你是否愿意这样做。如果无意中伤了你的心,那我就向你道歉。

最兴奋的时刻是在 Mid Valley 唱歌的时候。我也不知为什么,平时最不敢在当众面前唱歌的我竟然如此勇敢呢!虽然价钱是有点贵,但我们每个人都感到很开心,所以很值得,因为钱不能买快乐、钱不是万能的。虽然我的歌声是有点难听,但我还是唱得很爽快。我还以为大家会把麦克风传来传去不敢唱,但竟然没想到大家都那么勇敢,甚至争先恐后呢,哈哈!

我会在 SPM 后 update 这个 post。希望大家把你们所拍的照片 e-mail 给我,如果要我帮忙 upload 的话就通知我一声吧!我的 e-mail address 是 hate_and_vengeful@hotmail.com。最后,我想与大家开个玩笑,希望大家不要介意哦!我不会祝你们 SPM 好运,因为我相信大家都很有实力,肯定可以获取好成绩,不需要运气,哈哈哈!Gambatek and Good Luck for SPM!

5s4

5years has gone quickly
In short i would like to express out my thoughts concerning this class

~~
My first impression about this class
"for goodness sake,why did i enter this class."
I begin my form 4 life in this class
Which has a very very weird atmosphere(in the beginning)
I find everyone egoistic,not friendly,etc..(no offense)
I had even planned to switch to Pclass
Yet during the struggling period i get to know a few friends
Here the credit goes to Pooi Guan
My counselor at the time
Yes and form4 has peacefully come to an end

While in this year
I finally got to know more friends
In particular 7guys who sits behind the class
During the early year
i observe s4 is divided in to various groups
Got study group,leng lui group,English debate group,nerd group,geeks.etc.
We are not united,not a big family.
Therefore in everything which i do
I did it in my way,speak in my opinion,because s4 is just not a class
Thank God that the situation has not either remain the same and gone worse
Slowly our bonding is tighter and i see that s4 is starting to do things in a team
But then of course that there are times where conflict begin.
Perang dingin.Perang dunia.lol

In conclusion
5s4 are the rockest.(rocker than rock)

I had a conversation with Peter while we were on our ways back
"Why do good things starts to happen when we begin to graduate?"
Why arh?
But better than nothing larh

开始于大家都很古灵精怪
但结束于大家原来都非常可爱。

It may sounds geli but i still want to tell all that

I Love s4
xP

The Pebble in our Shoe

As some of us entered after a much needed break to fill our growling bellies, others were perusing page after page of History notes. The expressions on everyone's faces, priceless. Some buried in their books, oblivious even to the mosquito buzzing around their ear, trying to irritate them; some smiling and laughing, maybe insanity had already taken over them but whatever it was, this was the sight of 5S4 before the History paper on the 16 of Sept.

One of our wisest and smartest classmates said: "We are doing History in Historical times!" (Sorry if I misquoted) He was none other than Low Rong Chang. This quote could have not been more correct as a promise was made that today, change will come in a blizzard, a storm, a typhoon, a hurricane, whatever it would come in.

Soon, we were sitting in our seats, the teacher trying her very best to keep us quiet and in control, although to no avail. We awaited the paper that we dreaded the most; some however, waiting eagerly to show off their skills. Sighs and insane laughter erupted in the classroom. The nervous expressions turned to facial expressions of worry and fear. How would I explain to my parents? How to get the answer? Is there a textbook in the toilet? Think! Think! What is this Piagam Madinah?

It was all quiet and pens started to scratch the paper. Whether it was fact or merely fiction, it did not matter, as long as it filled up the paper. Soon, boys started filing our the door, going to the toilet. Heads started to turn around; to the back, to the front, to the sides.

12.30 came slowly but surely as the school bell rang, indicating the end of the paper. We couldn't wait to share our experience during the paper. Most students could be seen swearing and cursing, some sitting calmly discussing the paper, very few carrying a serene yet small smirk on their face.

------------------------------------------

Come on people. We still need to work hard to prove to our teachers that if we don't listen in class, we can still get good results. No, not that actually. We need to prove that 5S4 is the best. Continue the good fight even though some of us may have "failed" in this one.

Puan Wong 回来探望我们 (2-9-2008)!


我深信 5S4 全班同学都还记得谁是 Puan Wong,我们去年的级任老师。我们全班都与她有深厚的师生之情,难得她今天回来探望我们,在 Peter Heng 的带领下,很多人都过度兴奋,到办公室 (staff room) 去迎接她进来我们今年的 5S4。

记得很多人去年都说自己不喜欢被她教,因为她给很多功课。其实,她这样确实是为我们大家的好。不然的话,我们班 Maths. 和 Add. Maths. 成绩也很难与其他班竞争。若往好的方面想,如果 Puan Wong 是那种对我们毫不关心的老师,那她会一直逼我们做功课吗?虽然她给我们很多功课,但是她得改更多呢!

不须问我为什么我明白老师们的感受,因为我也是一位补习老师,教小学生们,包括自己的弟弟,没收补习费,只给自己教书经验。那班小学生比我们班还吵呢,又完全不交功课,有些交白卷呢!就算我使用藤鞭,他们也不当成一回事!改功课是我认为很烦的一种活动,因为来来去去都是打钩 (mark as correct) 、打叉 (mark as wrong) 或放问号。

其实,做老师不是大家所想象的那么简单。我非常看得起 Puan Wong,因为她的原则是“天下没有教不会的学生,只有不会教的老师”,学生不好往往都责备是老师的错。我们今年 Maths 和 Add. Maths. 的成绩也算蛮好的,所以应该感谢 Puan Wong。

我个人认为,其实我们都不会讨厌 Puan Wong,只是嘴硬而已,但也无法避免,因为这都是人的个性(嘴硬)。如果讨厌她的话,我们也不会带她来我们班,更加不会谈得那么兴奋。总而言之,我们应该尊敬老师,因为老师不易当!

李宗伟悲惨的遭遇(不想看就别看)

这次的羽球男单金牌再次落入林丹手中,
这是我预料中的
并不让我感到意外
宗伟的实力始终超越不了林丹
在此想分析一下
开赛的时段
在短短的十余分钟之内
林丹就以快攻的方式夺得了开赛的第一分
好的开始象征着成功的一半
林丹那老虎般的士气蓬勃
而宗伟就有如送入虎穴的虚弱绵羊频频失守
感觉上这两个人的搏斗相差了一大栽
似乎也失去了看头
看来李宗伟的压力繁重
除了背着国家的包袱也包括所有马来西亚人民的希望
马来西亚,
再次和金牌擦肩而过
中国国歌取代了negaraku
还好
省得我去转台(抱歉,内涵失礼了)

据我的看法,
宗伟失败的原因如下:
1.掌握了天时地利,在自己的国家打球始终比较灵巧舒畅。
2.拥有着超过10000中国人高呼“林丹,加油!林丹,加油!”的口号,增添自信。
3.中国3亿人之中选出的精英绝对是更胜一筹的,尤其是马来西亚正面对着人材流失的问题。
4.林丹以背心装突现出自己苦练的肌肉,表示他在这几年的时间已做足了准备功夫。(相信宗伟看到了他的肌肉也敬退三分)
5.林丹也称为超级丹,主要是因为他拥有着强悍的体力,以超快的速度赶劲杀敌,在宗伟还来不及反应就惨败了。
6.林丹在开场不久就发现了宗伟的缺点,除了速度慢之外,对于林丹的速攻也招架不住,而宗伟确实打得很辛苦,死守城墙的方法绝对是不行的。

整体上纯粹是我个人看法。宗伟粉丝,我深感抱歉。不过输了就是事实。
我依然站在林丹这一边。。。

至于
对我人身攻击的
我不知道明确的人数(也许出现幽灵账号)
这篇文章是以一个支持林丹观众的立场写的
赛场的进展分析的不对可以提出意见
在网络上不择手段的我看多了
已说了。。。纯粹个人看法
该怎么想你们自己决定
另外
再把CBOX的话搬上来
如果我支持林丹有错,那马来西亚众多华人的偶像有
罗志祥,飞轮海,周杰伦其他歌手等等
流翔,姚明等运动员
论国度来说
马来西亚华人是不是都背叛了国家?
另外,该不该留在本国
我相信这一点将有很多人支持我的想法(本班的人很多都想出国的,没错吧?)
坚决不留(懂得思考自然会明白)
最后,我停止CBOX的无谓骂战
想继续破坏本班的安宁,就交由给PETER处理了。

of civilisation

Let's look at some milestones in human civilisation:

2560 BC - The Great Pyramid of Giza is completed during the rule of Khufu
500 BC - Construction of the Great Wall of China begins
80 AD - Colosseum is completed during the rule of Titus
600 AD - Chichen Itza in Mexico was completed by the Mayan civilisation
1450 AD - Machu Picchu is built in Peru
1738 AD - The first valve-type flush toilet was introduced by J. F. Brondel

Now, ask yourselves, what is the list up there for? Are there any irregularities? Is there anything wrong, strange or peculiar in the list? Let me answer your questions and clear your minds of this problem. THE INVENTION OF THE TOILET.

-----------------------------------------------

Adam and Eve ran away from each other and hid themselves in the bushes when they realised that they were naked, that they were not clothed. They quickly sewed some leaves together and presto, the dawn of the era of privacy.

Privacy as defined by the Webster's Revised Dictionary is the state of being in retirement from the company or observation of others. Now, let's ask ourselves a question, what is so wrong, strange or peculiar about the definition? Let me answer your question again. RETIREMENT FROM OBSERVATION.

-----------------------------------------------

Tuesday is the day that incidents happen. The girls in the class decide to change in the classroom without any warning that they are doing something that is private. The only thing that may indicate that privacy is needed is the closing of a door. But I too can close the door but not do anything privately.

Ladies, I hope not for my sake but for yours, that if you really want to change in the classroom, put up a sign or assign someone to stand in front or something. Otherwise, an innocent male member of the class will just blissfully walk in one day and without him knowing or wishing or praying for it, he goes to Cloud 9. You get my point. Thanks.

NEVER Lost In Contention!!!

It seems that Malaysia, our "beloved" country has lost it's contention. It is like a plank buoying in the middle of sea without clear directions. With lots of ridiculous things happening in our country, we 5S4 "citizens" in fact cannot failed together with our country leaders now!!! We may not be good at studies, or we may not be good at something but at least we tried our best before we say KO. I believe that everyone in this class may contribute something to the society in near future,YES I believe we can. Nomatter what and how much we have done for the society, never seek a reward as an obliged item from this hopeless government. If Malaysia Government (Pak Lah )doesn't recognise your ability, go to anywhere else that admire on your ability. Asalkan Benih yang baik, jatuh ke dalam laut pun boleh tumbuh akarnya.

Winds may change, summer may come and go, but Malaysian politician remained almost the same as 51 years before. How sad am I, But WHAT can I DO!!!

My advice to all of you LEAVE this country if you have the opportunity.

LEAVE!!!!

LEAVE!!!!

and FORGET THIS LAND!!!!!!!!

Champions nonetheless


We stepped onto the field as the underdogs. We took a count, our statistics were wonderful. zero practices, zero victories, zero field experience together. Yet together, under the blazing sun and the dried up grass beneath our feet, we stood. the whistle blew, and the disc took off to the sky.
On a very short notice, me, jonathan, yin bin, kun heng, kong weng and jun hong finally decided to represent our class in the CHS Olympics frisbee competition. Being the underdogs there, we never though once that we would have a chance of being a gold medalist team, yet, with the spirit of 5S4 burning in the core of our hearts, we took up this challenge to win glory for our class.

I will spare everyone the details of our every encounter. However, to let everyone know this, though we failed to step into the finals, I can sincerely say that we actually have the standards of a finalist. In fact, if it wasn't due to a problem that we all failed to curb in time, we would have been the finalist in this competition. This is all due to the fact that we lack understanding of each other, didn't know each other well, and in the end, fielding the wrong person in the wrong position.

Nonetheless, what's done is done, no point whining about it. But I must say, we all had fun. Together, battling it out on the field, trashing people and furiously fighting back when things were going wrong. This all brought us a step closer to each other. We got to know ourselves and each other better. So what if we lost, so what if we could have won. The main thing is, we went in to have fun, and we DID have fun. Therefore, we are all nothing but champions.

It's been a great pleasure playing the matches with you guys. I'm really proud to be part of the team. I would also like to appologize for not performing to my best and for being a lousy captain. Still, we are a winning team together, and not even the winner of the competition can say anything against it. This is our spirit, this is our glory, this is 5S4.


Min Chern - Did the basic handling
Yin Bin - Managed the midfield
Jonathan - Played defense with finesse and ran up for offense on the que "chocolate"
Kun Heng - Star scorer of the day, wonderful defender too. If only he ran up sooner, lol.
Kong Weng - Very humble midfielder, only revealed his true skills later on and scoring with a
hammer shot too!
Jun Hong - Never once gave up on the midfield and offence.

Class Trip...

Since Kien Hoong has started a post for the class t-shirt, I will follow suit and start one on our class trip. Honestly, I'm too enthusiastic about organising the trip after Peter and my long and perilous endeavour in completing the class page project. Putting the past behind me, let's look forward to this one.

First of all, I heard that the beach is a priority. Agreed. I actually hope that we can throw in some trekking too but I follow the majority. Secondly, the East Coast and parts of Borneo are not included in the options as it is the monsoon season. We don't to see some of our classmates having fun in the sea and next thing you know it they are "surfing" with the dolphins.

Poh Li and I want to take up this challenge. I hope that you can work with us and forgive me for the times that I have rubbed you the wrong way. Forget about those times and lets look forward to having fun at possibly our last outing together as a class.

Please leave your comments and ideas in the comment section of this post. I hope that you guys will be quick and efficient.

Yours most sincerely and humbly,
Pope Baldie...

All chaos transforms into one peaceful, growing, mature class..

First things first. I don't really think that what is going on now is chaos, it's more like healthy debate n discussion. One that shows that we are growing up and becoming mature people,who speak their minds diplomatically and logically. I chose the word 'chaos' as it seems to rhyme better. That said.

Today, Kien Hoong announced that Lup Yeng was unhappy about the responses regarding his equality between male-female post (pardon me if I'm mistaken). Truth is that there is never an equilibrium point. Guys are better at some things and girls better at others. This is how the world revolves and it will continue to do so... We should respect and honour each other,regardless of gender.

As Lup Yeng himself admitted, when u post something up to public, in this case his controversial post about equality between female-male, u have to prepare n brace for opinion, criticism and disagreement. This is where our crappy moral comes into picture. 'Sikap keterbukaan', 'bersedia memberi dan menerima pandangan,pembaharuan dan kritikan'. You admitted u know it will raise a lot of responses. However, based on what Kien Hoong said about ur unhappiness, I've got to say that you are not prepared to accept criticism.

A public forum or blog is meant for the public. What u said can be read by anybody, thus having a response is normal n expected. People post on blogs so that his/her post will gather comments and he/she will learn of what others think. Accept criticism, be open-minded, don't be offended or unhappy and if u r offended, forget it and move on. Being criticised is part of our life. We have to face it forever as no one is perfect.

On a different note, I have to agree with Ing Ching, Jonathan and Tjia Hwei. I know you guys are smart people and good people. You don't like chinese. You don't like our Malaysian education system or CHS education system that forces SJKC people to take chinese. You think it's a failed system. Heck,you might even dislike our teachers. But please, give them some respect. Don't retort them. Don't contradict them. Don't use their lessons to disappear. Show some remorse (that is true and not a pretentious one, mind you) when they reprimand you. We are old enough to know how we should behave when facing an unfavoured situation.

Lastly, I apologise to anyone who thinks what I wrote is wrong, offensive n crappy. As I've said, this a blog. It's people's opinion. And yes, thanks to all who show their concern regarding my injury and have helped me throughout this period.

各位同学,抱歉 ......

各位5S4的同学:
我鲜少浏览我们班的部落格,所以不知道原来发生了那么多不愉快的事件。在这里, 我,向大家郑重的说声抱歉,真的很对不起。当我发现原来大家真的好关心我们班的活动,而我却什么都没有做到的时候,感到非常非常的内疚。所以我在这里,向大家保证,我会在预考之前会把我们的 Class T-shirt 和 Class Trip 所有的大大小都处理好。我已经和 Juliana 商讨关于我们班的活动和一定把任何的进度向大家报告。更多的详情我们会在来临的星期一报告。我希望大家不要再互相攻击同班同学,毕竟我们比别班来的不够合作,但经历了那么多风风雨雨,希望大家能更加珍惜友谊。也希望大家能给予我们100%的合作,让我们能更强壮。冠军我们亦已经夺下了,我相信我们能肩并肩一起乘风破浪的。不要让别人看低我们,让我们再次创下傲人的成绩吧!!谢谢!!

我有话说

首先得先请visit5s4 部落格的读者们冷静。。
我们的cbox好像变成了战场咯~
针对cbox及lup yeng所写的post, 我有些话想说

lup yeng

我对你的过去遭遇表示同情,但你也不能对号入座,应此就讨厌女生啊~
老实说,我个人认为男女平等
是废话
男女根本没有平等存在过
就如lup yeng 也有说

<<2〕男生的强项是实践的科目>>

另加补充
是一般的男生与女生

其实lup yeng把这些都视为男女平等的论点
其实都刚好相反
一般的男生强项是实践的科目
一般的女生的强项是理论
这都不是在说着男女都不平等吗?

更何况
鲜少足球赛是男女一起踢的
女护士称白衣天使,那男护士是什么?
男生也没可能代替女生怀孕,生产
gentleman 永远都该让女生?
那男生谁让?=.=

另外
对于class trip
老实说我没抱太大希望
或说根本没抱任何希望
不是我泼冷水
我们班与别班比起
好像没那么团结+close
但如果真的要办class trip 的话
我建议先选出一名leader
那大家协助leader
由leader的带领下一起搞
机会应该比较大吧~


化子
您的批评,或意见
我不知别人怎么想
我本人是很乐意接受的
如果是真诚的话
毕竟有批评,才有进步吗~
还有
什么是名字?
我个人认为
名字把一个人具体化
名字就代表着一个人
代表着一个人的思想,言行举止
如果一个人没名字
我想,应该就像根本不存在在这世上吧~
所以我还是想知道您的真名
如果不方便在此透露,也可私下告诉我 (=

就此搁笔
希望大家不要再在cbox把关系搞得那么僵咯~

-光荣-

Have you ever wondered.....

Blogging is public, everyone can view any of your post, including those personal one. So, have you ever wondered what if our teachers/parents is monitoring our blog posts? Would your feel awkward? Do you mind?

Yes. Sometimes these common questions didn't come across our minds. Some might think how would it be possible for others to know our blog address eventhough we did not give them any. Simple, with just a few clicks from the friends link in the blog page, people can access many of our blogs, maybe even the whole school's blog! All they need is just one web address.

Some posts are personal or restricted, so try to keep it that way. Remember, eyes are watching.



P.s. I'm not trying to scare anybody, just kindly reminding all of you to be careful of what you post in your blog.

End of the road

We fought hard, we fought valiantly, unfortunately, a dead end once again we have bumped into. After 2 hard grueling days of slogging it out against the 11 teams brought in from all over Selangor, we finally managed to proceed into the semi-finals. Just when we thought our chances of creating and upset victory and sweeping the title were in reach, the results of the draw came out. We, the underdogs were scheduled to battle it out against the national champions, Damansara Jaya. Winner of the HELP debate, WIRA debate and likely winners of the Taylor's debate, they were ready to wrest this KDU title from us. Frightened we were not, for we waited for this challenge with anticipation.

The moment finally arrived. We stepped into our respective places, wary of the tensed atmosphere surrounding the room. They were the government, we were the opposition, born were we to take up this role. Their first speaker led the debate. With precise and fluent language she brought forth her case stand and arguement into the house. And with this, the battle had begun. Speaker after speaker stood up, accusations and allegations were diplomatically hurled about. Endless wit and sarcasm came from our side towards them as we tried to topple their case stand and arguements. Finally, the last speaker had spoken, silence befell the room as we left the adjudicators to do their final decisions. Each of us left the room, feeling that we could have done better, yet still feeling that we had delivered the coup d eta.

Luck wasn't on our side. The judges announced it was a really tight debate. However, the government's stand stood for the day. It was a 3-2 victory for the DJ team with a margin of less then 3 marks. We had failed to stop the national champions from proceeding by just 3 marks. I'll be honest, I'm really disappointed. It was partially my fault for not having really strengthening a certain key point.

Through all the wallowing and disappointment, there still exists a certain sense of self satisfaction. We took on the national champions head to head and almost emerged victorious. We convinced the judges whom we had earlier set out on convincing, and we displayed a stunning performance before bowing out. All in all, this has been a real eye opening event for us. No longer will we feel intimidated by the big name of DJ in the field of debate. Now we know where our standards are and how we have to further improve ourselves to take on the world of debate.

Varsity and International debates, here we come.






PS : Just for everyone's information in case you are curious.

Peter Heng - Opposition leader. Delivered a cunning and effective parameter by bringing the debate to the USA. Once again displayed his enthusiasm in the debate with his flair and witty POI's (Is the chicken an egg?).

Quah Min Chern - Deputy Opposition leader. Delivered his usual speech without much event. Later delievered the reply speech that won the judges hearts(but still not enough to win the debate). Made the government feel like dumb asses. And delivered the coup d eta.

James Yap - Opposition Whip. Displayed his trademark "I will dismantle, destroy and demolish the arguements and case stand of the government" once again with finesse. Wonderfully rebutted the arguements of the government.

HELP!!!

Okay,i admit.I suck at microsoft.More precisely,i suck at microsoft excel,especially the part where u hafta draw GRAPH!!!...Fellow S4ians,please share your graph if u have done it.I can guarantee u i'm not the only one who doesn't know how to do those 2 damn graphs....Sharing is caring,keke..=P..just like how sweet Sarah share with us her wonderful finding,like Mr.Tee said,make our life easier....

Lastly,Thanks for all your concerns n carings abt my leg.Counting down,16 more days to go until the cast is finally off and i'll be joining u at physics lab.
Thanks for sharing ur graphs too, if any..

5S4 debaters kick ass

Live from KDU college itself. Here sits me, peter, james and our other debaters and juniors in front of the laptop doing our research. Its been a real nerve wrecking moment, but in the end, we kicked ass in the first round with a total pawnage. Best speaker was from one of our speakers too. Now we prepare for the second wave that will be held tomorrow as our second team is locking head on with the national champs. Things are looking kinda good for our second team says peter as he studies their body languages from outside the window. Hopefully we will get a good draw and continue to pawn ass tomorrow. Gtg now, peter still wanna read more body languages.

So......

So,u know the wonder of Internet and blog,instead of telling one by one who asked To-Die(Quote from Mr.CFO) aka today,I told them to check out 5s4class08 blog.

So,ok again.It's not surprising enough(Does that mean i'm officially injury-prone??),or important enough to be a surprise(I'm so insignificant..*cry*).But here the story goes...I got injured during the line of duty aka my taekwondo.It's a ligament tear and I'll be on cast and crutches for 6 weeks,but there are chances we(as in doc and me)can remove it earlier,then it'll be brace and still crutches for about 2 more weeks before I can walk on my own with braces...

So,your beloved(*blek*wakakaka)KK will be MIA for approximately 2 months,guys,my fellow classmates,please keep the class clean.We've already nailed the papan notice competition,hopefully we can nail the cleanliness competition too...

Ok,SharonC signing off..See u guys tmr,I hafta squint my eyes to see any missing marks for AddMath..buhbye

Trip to Parliament

They were debating on the issue of the sudden increment of petrol price.
Khairy Jamaluddin (Rembau) was speaking on behalf of BN in reply to Mohammad Azmin Ali (Gombak).

Lots of commotion.
Ibrahim Ali (Pasir Mas) stormed out of the hall, he was unhappy that the speaker chose Khairy over him when both of them requested Permission to speak at the same time.

The BN side was almost empty while the oppostion side was almost full.
Apparently, most of the BN MPs only enter the hall during voting time.

for the end...

Sniff... sniff... Sob... Sob... Tears drop to the ground, "flooding the floor of the school hall. Tissues thrown everywhere, making mounds of paper on a lifeless parquet floor. There is a sense of sorrow yet hope that things will be better.

Now, I hope you guys are thinking what I'm thinking of, our class projects. As our class page has been "completed", we need to move on. I know that we have trials and exams coming up but the planning can be done in between. I'm talking about our class t-shirt and trip. I brought it up a while ago but I think I need to revive the issue.

I hope you guys can help in sharing ideas and suggestions. Any comments are welcome as we want to make it something to remember. Good luck in the remainder of the exams.

CHS / 5S4 Debating Division

Hey all, let's take a break from the stresses of exam and ease up a bit. Let me now give you all another reason to be proud of 5S4. Not known to many, 5S4 actually contribute to at least 55% of the English debaters in our school. That's practically half of the whole debating team in our school.

Just yesterday, the Taylor's University College began its annual Taylor's Debate competition. Ill prepared and under stress and depression cause of our lovely add maths (1), our team was prepared to lose once again to Sri Permata (they had home ground support again some more). However, The tides were turned and we emerged the obvious victors of the preliminary 1 debate, thus letting our school, or basically our class since our team was all 5S4 people, storm into preliminary 2.

Preliminary 2 will be held in our school on the 3rd of July, and we would really appreciate it if you all could drop by and give us your much welcomed support. We promise we will try to humour you all as much as possible. XD

Jing Wei

I belief there is no use to open criticize other classes
So i take this as ur personal opinion and not referring to the whole class(5s3)

~~
Some class might be good in terms of IQ or EQ
But what makes s4 special is that there is someone which is good at AQ
AQ?Ape tu?
*AQ is Jing Wei favorite book


--IQ bagus punya orang
I BELIEVE should be top 5

--EQ bagus punya orang
Hua Ngik

--AQ bagus punya orang
Jing Wei and Juliana

~~
We were sitting for moral at Friday
Around 9.30(i guess)
I saw a Teenager huge in size
Handing in his exam paper and went on reading EST
Seems that he has full confidence in his paper which i think he owes revise it at home
That Guy is a friend of ours Liu Jing Wei

He has the most unique hairstyle in our school
UFO?Fashion?MONK...?
He is also one who believe in his God truly and faithfully(good point?bad point?)
"God will punish you"--Jing Wei says
Which gives him certain popularity in our class

Famous nick name of his
Mr I aka I 先生

Mr I brings in meaning

1.His Christian name?
errr...sorry..English name?
The Capital letter of his what so ever name before his Sir name

2.I chinese is 我
我行我素
A well known incident of his
He was the lone ranger which admitted that Pn Wong gave homework to S4

I think since there was the turning point of his image in s4

"会被鞭的"
"神会罚你"
--Mr I quotes

..............................
Everything is there for a purpose
Maybe MAYBE maybe
because of him our class turns out to have more topic and issue
And more lively?
rrrrrright?^^

MPYO Concert at KLCC


James, Peter, Juliana, Jonathan, Tjia Hwei (TJ) + Federal Constitution of Malaysia (The Blue book in James' hand)


Record #1 broken: Tjia Hwei went to the toilet for an hour plus
Record #2 broken: Tjia Hwei can wash his hands while talking on the phone.
Record #3 broken: Tjia Hwei has multiple phone identities, some say its about 5.


Then, instead of waiting TJ who disappeared (to toilet and went to hunt for girls), we went to Burger King for our dinner. Wondering where's that fat guy went, James called TJ again. Surprisingly, while receiving the call, TJ could actually wash his hands. Thus conclusion: He's Bullshitting.

Moreover, he got 2, I mean, 5 hand phones. Based on our hypothesis, each of his hand phones are used for his particular prey(girl). But sadly, he's just an ISA wannabe. Jonathan did it perfectly (as seen during the whole afternoon with Juliana), but TJ plagued on an MPYO violinist for don't-know-how-long, try on another girl but failed pathetically... etc. There are numerous number of his lost records.
