earth hour 2009 in kampar

its raining, i thought that many people will ignore this event as turn off the light will make them cannot do many things, and the best way to kill the 1 hour without light is to go out somewhere else which doesn't had earth hour.

well, as i thought, when i was in Westlake house, there're only a small group(around 4 people) gathering at the middle of the basketball court. they're lighting up candles in the rain, with umbrella on top to keep the candle away from raindrop.

as time goes, people notice our presence. more and more people start to gather in the basketball court. a few ten minutes later, the court is full of people. then there's someone suddenly shout out "turn off the light" towards houses that still have their lights on.
soon enough the others are following, but for a short while only.

around 9pm, half an hour before earth hour end. there's a girl suggest us to have a parade walking around the housing area. everyone agreed and we start walking.
while walking, there're always someone lead the group to shout "turn off the light" towards houses that didn't turn their lights off, and this process was just keep on continue until the
parade was finished.

i saw 1 chinese guy and 1 malay both holding a great camera like the one photographer use, and take pictures of the scene. i wonder r they journalist.

too bad i dont have any camera nor my phone can take photos, if not i will post some photo in here.

well, my blog is too plain too be notice so i can just ignore posting pictures here since almost no one will be looking at my blog anyway.

K.I.S. (Full English Version) chapter 1 - Yan's first day to school

My Alarm rang.
i closed it, woke up
and have a big yawn.

today is 6th of January, Monday.
i will be starting to study and live in this city that i had left for around 4 and a half years.
to be more exact, that will be 1662 days.
why do i know the exact number?
because i was too boring yesterday and i did the calculation.

after having no one staying for so long, the house was nested by dust and spider webs.
but i only took half of the day to finish cleaning this 'abandoned' house.
and after cleaning, i still have another half day to spend.
usually, i will be doing the usual: playing computer games or skate around the area with my in-line.
but my computer and my in-line are the only things that my brother missed out when sending them to the delivery service.

"oh no, i forgot! no wonder i felt like i was missing something. i had actually reminded myself for many times but in the end i still ended up forgetting it because of being too busy. haha"

'haha' my foot, i bet he did it in purpose.
he is not the type that will do such mistake.
after all, he is the guy who had been promoted from a regular worker into a head department in less than 1 year time, and then became a Manager after another 2 years.
as to why he did it, the reason will be his usual way of 'joke'.

so after getting up, i brushed my teeth, cleaned up my face, opened the fridge for raw food and other ingredients, cooked my breakfast, and eat it.
then i found myself left quite some free time after all the works.
so i read the newspaper with the radio tuned on.
though usually i will be listening to my computer's music rather than the radio's.
............

i had spent my free time, then i took my leave to the school.
going out at this time is perfect as i will not reach there too early nor i will be late.
The school i'm going now, is called Kammzet International School.
As the name says, it is an international school, developed from senior high school to a school that combine both senior and junior high, and now joined as a 6 years high school.
currently, it has over 7000 students from different countries.

This is one great school i had ever seen in my life.
the school's land is just keep on expanding each year, making most newcomers get lost easily even with maps provided.
well, for me, i'm not the type who will get lost easily, and i had been to this school before when i was young, picking up my brother after he finished his class.
i'm not bad with navigating, so i won't be confused by the map.
and even if the place changes without updating the map, i'm sure i would at least able to get to the event hall, since it is a big huge and can be spot easily.
hmm........... as for the name 'Kammzet'.
well, it is taken from the founder, a man whose name is called Kammzet.
eventually, this city's name is also called Kammzet.
why?
because this man is the one, who found this place to have many resources, from metals to oil, and made it into a well-developed city.
in fact, this is the most developed city in the country, though it is not being labeled as the main city of the country.
besides, he had also save the city's economic crisis a few years ago, making him quite a legend.
though he don't call himself a mayor, but actually he is really acting like one.
also, he is not that simple.
this city, is not 100% under controlled by this country's government.
the government has less than 15% control power over this city, as i heard from my brother.
i wonder how he did it, and i wonder wasn't this city is more like a small country this way?
...................
whatever...


in the way walking school, i felt nostalgia of almost everything, it is been almost 5 years since i last walk at this road in the morning after all.
i can't help myself from not enjoying the morning breeze, it is just too comfortable that i want to lie on the ground and sleep.
well, i did that for a few times before, not on the middle of the road i'm walking on right now of course, but on the field nearby, along with Yuzhe and Ying.
that time was one of the few wonderful i ever had moment.
.............
geez, i'm reminiscence again.
i had lost count of how many times i did it since yesterday.
can't be helped, i guess that is normal after leaving my hometown for so long.

while reminiscence of every single thing i saw, i found myself already at the school's east gate.
alright, according to my calculation, i should used around 10 minutes to finish my transfer procedure, 15 minutes to briefly explore the place, after that i will be in the event hall waiting for opening ceremony to start.
things worked just as i expected, only the part: "15 minutes to briefly explore the school".
i get lost....... and because of getting lost, i didn't get to explore at all.
but somehow i walked in the direction to the event hall without knowing.(though i didn't saw any big hall around. but i just reached it and only realized the trees around are almost the height of the hall)
i'm not late for the open ceremony, i didn't take far more than 15 minutes either but.....
i failed the part "briefly explore the school". i really had no idea what place i had been. with all the trees around the places, it sure looks like a maze.
come to think of it, the last time i came here is 7 years ago, when my brother is having his graduation ceremony. i guess i had underestimated the changes this place can made within 7 years.
and also........
darn the outdated map.

the open ceremony is finished......
here i am in my new class.
the seat is chosen by student instead of being fixed or random by teacher, unlike my previous school.
so i choose my favorite seat: the one at the last row.
people always had their attention on me in my previous school.
probably because i had cause quite some fuss before.
well, i did not want it to happen, i just can't helped it.

it all started on the 3rd day i attended that school,
a common case that can be seen almost everywhere: students being bullied,
happened when i was going home after school,
being teased is still endurable, but snatching my bag and try to get my purse is what gets me fight off. to begin with, that time i was in bad mood after being teased- i mean 'used' by my brother. so i would lose my temper easily that time.
and so, without noticing, i already wear on my glove and beaten them all to the ground.
my glove had iron attached on them, so each hit is mostly fatal.
i kept on hitting each of them until i realized what i was doing.
and when i stopped, they were already seriously wounded,
to the extent that they were needed to be sent to the hospital.
Then the next morning i was called by the student council to be questioned.
they understand my situation, and forgive me for hurting the others with 2 reason:
-those delinquents are already big trouble maker for them until they can't do anything
-first time is always allow to be spared
but that wasn't a happy ending, or should i said, that is not even the end yet.

the delinquents that were hurt by me keep on getting more of their kind to attack me.
in this case 'to get their revenge on me' would be much more suitable.
and i was forced to increase the cases of gangsters lying on the middle of the road.
.... the event's seriousness extent to the state where local newspaper had the cases put on it,
but luckily it is not in the front page,
and also luckily they didn't know the culprit.
or i will be damned in many ways.
only very few teachers and some people from the student council know it was me who did it.
but still, rumor spreaded.
and made me a fearsome beast to other people.
so, that will be the reason why people always had their attention on me.
because they are either afraid of me or mistaken me as other bullies and hated me.


end of recalling, back to now. i was in the class looking for seat.
there's only 1 seat left in the last row, i supposed i am in a little luck.
i put down my bag, and i overheard 3 guys talking.
"that girl over there is cute!"
"no, the one behind her is cuter"
"wow, she has nice legs."
people said, guys tend to talk about those things a lot, especially when in the age of teenage, and it is very normal.
but i had no interest in it, so should i conclude myself as an abnormal male teen?
well, those 4 and a half years i spend in other city, there's 2 years i was suffering from seeing too much lust.
it was my brother's girlfriend.....
alright, i will NOT talk about it, i feel disgusted even by just thinking about her.

"stupids...."
i say that out naturally, even though i tried to keep it in my mind only.
after that, i left the class. to take a walk around the building ONLY, as wandering around the whole building won't make me lost.
and to avoid that happening again i must at least know how the building structure is.


after a while, i got it back to my class without getting lost.
but, shoot......
the class was already started....
everyone was looking at me as i opened the door and disturbed the teacher in the middle of her speech.
well well, this scene is kind of familiar, i guess i had seen it before in my previous school, probably in this situation it is slightly better.
i quickly go back to my seat and sit down.
the teacher continued her speech.
"ah, as i said just now, i'm your homeroom teacher for this year."
and she pointed on the board with her electronic pen,
"the name is Alicia Aubrac. i would like you guys to call me Alicia. anyone who does not do so will feel my wrath"

huh? its ok to not being too formal.... but aren't you supposed to act more like a teacher?
-i thought. "i'm single~ so anyone of you who has an older brother or cousin or neighbor please tell them about me. my 3 size is 36 25 38. i'm 167cm and 55 kg"
miss, are you alright? is this some kind of joke? oh my god, what is she talking about? is she promoting herself? oh no, wait, i feel familiar of this scene as well.
"and my age is......................................... a secret~"
gosh!
it is so much like my brother's ex-girl friend.
is it fated that i will met this kind of people no matter where i go?
the class went silent, i thought that's a good reaction, as we should let her know what she said is something very wrong.
"wheew~~~ Alice you are cute~~"
"yay~~~ we had luck this year"
that came from the guys that i had overheard their conversation earlier.
is this normal? is that suppose to be a normal reaction? don't tell me this place not only changed geographically, but the culture as well? eh, no wait, Alice?? you're calling her Alice??? "thank you, guys. alrighty, i had done my introduction, it is you guys' turn~"
..........can someone tell me what's going on?


..........
ok, i'm not sure but it seems like i'm the only one who is in huge shock.
everybody is introducing themself normally,
by the time i get a hold of myself,
the introduction is already reached the last row,
and the next second person will be me.
oow... i guess i have to think of what to say for the introduction.
the girl beside me stood up.
"my name is Chen Mei Ying. you can call me Ying"
huh? is that all? wasn't that a little too short? wait, who did she said she's? then i looked at her.
hm..... i think it is her, looks like she changed so much after 4 and a half years.
-i thought.
"alright, the next guy!"
oh no, it's my turn already.
ah well, just do what Ying had did, a short introduction will do.
"I'm Wang Xia Yan. call me whatever you want"
i speak these out loud in a tone which i believed, it sounded like what a unfriendly delinquent would say.
"next!"
the i-called-it-desperated-single-woman Alice was getting more and more impatient.
perhaps the introduction was too boring for her?
the next person stood up.
"i'm Zhang Yu Zhe. i'm from Kendo club, so if any of you are interested in kendo let me know~"
alright, so Ying is on my right, and Yuzhe is left. is this really coincident? and he's actually promoting his own club....
"alright!! that concluded today's briefing of the class. i will see you guys again tomorrow"

is she serious? there's 30 minutes more before the class finished, did she really done all the briefing when i was late? did she put the self introduction at the back and start briefing first? but wasn't it normally one will start their speech with self introduction first? i went panic at that short moment.
but in the end i came to a conclusion that, she had forgotten about it.
actually just to make myself feel better.
never mind, i could just ask both of my buddy about the briefing.

"call me whatever you want. wooo, that's so cool"
Ying start the conversation before i do.
"yea. seeing you is really not-so-fun."
"hahaha, you haven't changed much, Yan."
Yuzhe joined in the conversation.
it's been so long since we had a talk like this. i felt nostalgia again.
"it's so Yan-like."
"same goes to both of you"
"hahaha"

while it looked like a happy rejoice of three best friend,
Ying hit the table hard all of the sudden, and glare at me.
"tell me... Yan..."
now what?
"why did you left this place without saying anything to us, not even a goodbye."
this is one of the bad thing expected to be happen, but it came a little too soon for me to fully prepare.
the reason is not something proud to talk about.
having a father abandoning his family.
my mom felt sick for a few times because of overworked,
and my brother was forced to work right after he graduated in high school, not being able to further his study in University.
if he does he will most probably get a scholarship and graduated the University in amazing score.

moving away from here without letting anyone know is so that my father won't know we had left, and don't know where we go.
'it will also be troublesome if we don't leave because you had also cause such a serious problem.'
-my brother said so, and it was his idea for us all to move while having all these as the reasons.

"i don't really want to talk about it."
"why? do you had any idea how worried we were? do you know how lonely i felt?"
this conversation is getting worse.
i was going to say "you're not the only one felt lonely".
but i forced myself not to,
as i know it will make this conversation worse,
it is also a bad timing and bad place to have this topic on.
"Ying, calm down."
Yuzhe tried to control the situation.
i can't say anything now and i can't face a girl who looks like will cry anytime, especially when it is my fault for her to cry.
so i had to let all the calming and comforting done by Yuzhe.

"i'm sorry....."
she stopped, unexpected fast.
".....for doing this now. but this conversation will only be over next time"
and she continued.
so there's a next time huh? i guess i had no way to run. better be prepared for the history to repeat itself. - i thought.
i'm not good in sharing secrets, especially bad ones.

"come on Ying, let's go to the cafeteria, i will buy you your favourite chilli-sauced bun."
chilli-sauced bun, it seems Ying is still the same she was. but 'evolve' a bit.
"eeeww...... chilli bun? Ying, you had evolved from 'having chilli as seasoning' to 'having chilli as main dish'?"
i teased her without thinking these words could possibly worsen the situation.
and i get a straight punch to my face.
which means she's alright now.
i don't feel any pain though as i get into fight a lot, and she doesn't had much strength.
"Yan, lets go. i will take you for a tour in this school"
thanks Yuzhe, i really need a guide.
-i kept these words in my mind, as i know i will be laughed by them if they know i had been lost in the school just now.

in the end, i'm relieved that everything went alright.
Ying doesn't seem like will start another bad conversation again, so i guess i will just put all up-coming problems aside and enjoy being with these 2 for now.

twisted back to normal

ok, the last post said that i usually go to sleep before 12am. but now's it is other way round.
go to sleep after 12am is being normal now.
