During the past weekend, my family and I went back to malaysia with other relatives to attend a Wedding Dinner. The whole trip was pretty boring and monotonous, to tell you the truth, and there is nothing much to talk about. So, what made me post? Well the answer is, I visited Muar in Malaysia! (Yes, Muar! The place which is always mentioned in the 2007 P6 Math Worksheets. :P) My family and all my relatives booked a "resort" there. Actually, it was not really the classy kind of resort you would expect. It's quite plain and simple, with a few small rooms with basic amenities. Anyway, here are some photos of Muar! :D
Houses and streets in Muar...
This is the name of the "resort" I stayed in.
The view of the lake near the resort.
Notice that the antennae rise up high into the sky. This is to receive broadcasts from Singapore!
Muar is famous for their delicious otahs! Look at the prices! :D
Hmm... Some thoughts forming in your head?

Its been ages since I last posted. (Around a week or so. :P) I was very busy and had no time to update. I faced quite a few major problems in Raffles Institution regarding some choices. I'm going to elaborate. (Please note that some of the events happened weeks ago.) Remember that I talked about Third Language? Actually, I could not join Third Language as I found out that I could only take ONE elective programme. As I had entered RI through DSA (MEP), I did not expect to be forced into the programme! X( Well, I decided to stick with it anyway as I don't think that any appeals will work.
I just got my CCA Posting Results today. I put NCC as my first choice. BUT guess what I got? CHINESE ORCHESTRA?!? That was my fourth choice! I can't believe this is happening. Uniformed Groups do not require any trials or tests, so I should be getting into NCC? Was it because of limited vacancies or any other reasons? I don't know! But whatever the reason, I'm going to appeal for a transfer in CCA tomorrow. (Dates were set for appeals.)
There's also one more bad thing about Chinese Orchestra. The practice falls on Mondays and Saturdays! The weekend is the only time for me to rest and do extra self-study. If I have to wake up early on Saturdays, it would be terrible! >_<
Well, I guess whatever the outcome of the appeal, I should treat my allocation with an open mind. o.O "

I faced a slight problem recently with my Internet Explorer Browser. Apparently, the homepage is always set to a site called www.sujin.com.np which does not contain anything. Here's the problem: whenever I try to change my homepage to another site, a few minutes later, a message will pop up, saying that the homepage is changed back to sujin.com.np! At first, I was stumped by this problem. I did not know how the worm got into my computer. Anyway, I searched Google for a solution and found it! Follow this site if you have the problem >>> Meroguff
About the Worm
This Sujin.com.np is just a mere browser hijack annoyance which sets the user's homepage to "www.sujin.com.np" and it tries to hijack other peoples' browsers by injecting itself to removable drives every ten seconds. So, whoever popped into the Pen Drive or floppy drive, the infected host injected the Hijack script on them. They went to another computer with the infected pen drive and it infected another computer and that's how it seems exploded all over the region. Fortunately, there is no malicious code inside it. The only motive is to set user's browser to 'Sujin.com.np'. o.O
Solution
1. Firstly, disable the autorun feature of your operating system. The reason is that the autorun feature of your system triggered the worm. Here's how to do it: Press Start ---> run --> type "gpedit.msc" without the quotes and enter. You will see Group Policy Console. There, under Local Computer Policy, there are a)Computer Configuration and b)User Configuration. Next, select "Administrative Templates"-->Select "System"--->Turn off Autoplay. (Double click "Turn off Autoplay" option and select "disabled" on next screen.) This will disable all kind of autorun.
But, if Sujin.com.np is already resident in the memory, Download SCANNER here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE SCANNER, YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD WINRAR FROM THIS LINK.
After you've downloaded SCANNER, open the file by clicking on it and double click the folder that says "sujinvirus_remove". There's a file inside it, which is the programme used to remove the worm. After activating SCAN, the worm should be removed.

The big day approached. JRIC (Junior Rafflesian Investiture Ceremony) is the most important day in a Sec 1's Year. It is the day when students of Raffles Institution will be officially invested into the school, after which they will be recognised as a part of the Rafflesian Family. All Sec 1s will also receive the school badge and tie. After the gruelling Orientation Camp, this was sort of a celebration! Anyway, here's a photo of the badge.
Nice design, right?
So that sums up this post.

Below are some great songs that I came across. The names of the song will be shown. To listen to them and sing to the lyrics, please refer to the playlist for the music. :D
1) Would You Be There
If I were blue, would you be there for me,
And whisper in my ears that's ok.
Would you stand by me, let me hold you tight,
And say you love me one more time.
If I feel good would you slow dance with me,
And touch my lips with tender loving care
Would you die for me, would you run with me
And never look back.
Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
CHORUS
Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
(Would you be there)
If I'm away would you still think of me
And wish that you could hold me now (Hold me now)
Would you die for me, would you run with me
All the way
Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
Would you be there to save my soul tonight (Save my soul tonight)
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be there
To kiss my pain away
Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
Would you be there to save my soul tonight (Save my soul tonight)
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be there
To kiss my pain away
Would you be there
For me
2) Voices That Care
This is the Sec 1 Students' in RI's Batch Song
Lonely fear lights up the sky
Cant help but wonder why
You're so far away
There, you have to take a stand
In someone elses land
Life can be so strange
I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
That we could find a way
But I wont turn my back again
Your honor I'll defend
So hurry home, till then
CHORUS
Stand tall, Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
I'm not here to justify the cause
Or to count up all the loss
Thats all been done before
I just cant let you feel alone
When there's so much love at home
We're sending out to you
And the courage that you've known
The bravery that you've shown
Clearly lights the way
We pray to make the future bright
To make the wrong things right
(RAP) Right or wrong, we're all praying you'll remain strong. That's why were all here and singing along.
Stand tall, Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Know in your heart how our love burns bright
Voices that care are crying out loud... Yeah...
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in our heart how our love burns bright
You are the voice, You are the light
Stand tall, Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright (REPEAT TWICE)
We are the voice and the guiding light. Feel in your heart how our love burns bright!

I went to Raffles Institution Orientation Camp 2008 a day ago. As I was too tired to post after I came back, I decided to do it today. Some info about the camp: It's a 3 days 2 nights camp. That means staying overnight. The venue of the camp is inside the school campus itself! In some previous years, the Orientation Camp was held in a forested area near a SAF Live Firing Area. So, let me enlighten you about my camp experience.
This year, the camp's theme is Lasair (a celtic word), which means Flame On. Most of the time in camp was spent on outdoor and indoor team-building activities. In these activities, teamwork, co-operation, determination and efficiency were required to complete them. By the way, my Sec 1 class is 1F. I got to see my class on the first day. Some of them were quite weird in some ways. (I think one of them is a bit loony. :P) Example: On the first day of school, when all my classmates were asked to introduce themselves and tell us about their hobbies, this lunatic said, "My name is ... ... My hobby is commiting suicide." When the class heard that, there was absolutely no laughter at all. The PSLs (Peer Support Leader) just stared at him and asked everyone to be more serious. o.O
Anyway, about the activities. Here are some examples. One of them was called 'Bishan Hike'. All the students had to roam around Bishan in search of some stations for assigned tasks. First, a clue was given about the location of the station. As a class, we had to brainstorm about the possible locations and search for them. (Bishan is quite a large area.) If we guessed the correct location, there would be a PSL there, trying to blend in with the public. BUT, he would be wearing a recognizable shirt that all PSLs wear. Upon completing the assigned task (usually memory games and other challenges), a clue on the next location would be given. This goes on until the time for the game is over, which is about 3-4 hours! As you may guess, it's pretty tiring. Also, there were other games, all of which require quick thinking and on-the-spot planned strategies. (I won't mention any more of them, there's just too many!)
One more thing, the schedule for everyday was quite rushed. Time limits were given for every activity. (Not only games, but also bag-packing, briefings, talks, etc.) There was no time to lose! Even when we were showering, there was a time limit! The reason for this is because there were only a few places to shower AND that there were 450+ students! Yikes! During meal times, there was also a mad rush for food. The queues were very long as students waited in line for their serving of food. Each class will take turns to serve the food and clean up. All the activities in the camp were totally student-orientated. That's right, NO teachers helping. Well, a few only supervised the overall situation. Other than that, no help was provided. When we took our food, we cannot start eating first, though. We had to wait for every single student to be seated. That's one of the morals they emphasized there, we are all a batch. What's more, before we took our meals, we had to recite our school's Principal of Honour. Here it is:
In intellectual pursuit, I shall reflect discipline and passion for learning and in personal conduct, I shall live in integrity and regard individuals, groups and the community with kindness and respect and in so doing, uphold the Rafflesian Principal of Honour.
There, pretty cool, right? In RI, moral values are also greatly emphasized. (Basic courtesy and manners, etc.) Okay, on to the next topic. Let me talk about Fright Night, one of the activities organised.
On the second day of the camp, this activity was organised too help us overcome our fears and learn to stick together as groupmates. Incredible Tales was aired in the Lecture Theatres. Surprisingly, some people were freaked out. Lol... It wasn't THAT scary, right..? The original plan was to let us watch a japanese horror movie. But it was NC-16, unfortunately. When I see people freaked out just watching Incredible Tales, I can't imagine how they would react if they watched the horror film. (Piss in their pants?? >_<) Anyway, the Science Block was used for the Night Tour. The PSLs tried to scare us by jumping out of corners and telling us some 'scary' stories. Some were quite crappy. X( The first time they tried to scare my group, I was merely surprised. I didn't even jump. But for the second and third time, they jumped out unexpectedly from behind some pillars and hard-to-notice places. I jumped and them laughed at them. Each group was allowed only one torch. After the third scare, my group became EXTREMELY cautious. Here's a funny moment. At one point of the tour, we were instructed to switch off the torch. Before that, we saw a PSL at a table. In addition, we saw another one of them hiding under the table and at once, I knew they were trying to scare us! We told the first PSL about the person hiding but he nervously tried to divert our attention to him, asking us to stand closer to see and feel something in the darkness. In the end, I found out that it was just a distraction for the other PSL to scare us by grabbing our legs from under the table. Too bad we foiled their plans! XD I'm sure they felt pretty sad.
So that's all for the activities. For the camp Finale, there was a short performance and class cheer competition. I would like to talk about all the PSLs right now. When I first got to know our class PSLs, I felt strange around them. But soon, I realised that they were really a bunch of caring and kind people. They sacrificed a lot of their precious time preparing and guiding all the Sec 1 students through the camp. They sacrificed their sleep and performed their duties very well. They bathed and had their meals later than all of the students. I was really touched by how much they devoted themselves to guiding us. They inspired me and I decided that when I was Sec 4, I would be a PSL, guiding the juniors in RI. Without them, there would not even be an Orientation Camp at all. So thanks a lot, Seniors!
With that, I end this post. I hope that all my friends will enjoy their secondary school life and never give up in their studies. Lasair, Flame On!
