My high school graduation ceremony, to be exact, was held on 13 November in the afternoon. At the very beginning of the day on that date was utterly boring as all the graduating students including myself ,and school teachers were having rehearsals for the ceremony, the ceremony was treated so importantly as if our President of the country is coming to our school for a visit.
Individual classes had to practice coming into the hall formally from the backstage as well as lining up for the stage to receive the prize and take photo and my class happened to be the first to finish the practice, afterwards my classmates and I were just warming our butts on the chair feeling the pain of boredom. After its done we went to grab our gowns and hanged out in an air conditioned room and listened to Mrs Fong's last advice about life. ( talking about the significance of integrity and discipline, etcetera )
When the real ceremony was going to begin, all students, again including myself, were in gown and court shoes / formal shoes. The gown was like any graduating gown, the main color was dark blue and accessory color was golden, my court shoes on the other hand, was one that gleamed in the morning sun with heels of the height one centimeter. The ceremony was cool, we had our school principal ( forgot his name ) giving a farewell speech and Mister Ng, a former navalite (naval base sec student) student giving us graduation speech that at first sound boring because he began with giving us a history lesson but was pretty interesting afterwards. And then individual classes went up to receive prizes and took photos and then listened to 2 valedictorians' speeches which I paid a lot of attention to because I had respect for them that they had put in great amount of time preparing it although it was not very intriguing as there was zero sense of humor ( imagined how long it was ). However during the moment I set beside Miss Boon, who was my form teacher, It was a bit awkward but I finally managed to chat with her about what I was planning to do after graduation, I liked her a lot because she's pretty and motherly too.
Finally when the graduation ceremony was over the confetti boomed! Then we got to devour free buffet food like sandwiches & éclair and cold pink guava drink after visitors have served themselves. Later was just photo taking sessions with school mates and teachers. I have only took pictures with three teachers and a few friends because I did not have my phone with me and of course no one would really be so kind to lend me their phone haha but I was satisfied already.
Personally, I felt that the graduation ceremony was okay, however, instead of feeling happiness and excitement, I felt only relief. I had been sick of staying in high school for so many years, in fact I stayed longer in secondary school than almost everybody else and I couldn't wait to graduate and just start afresh, furthermore I would prefer some group of new friends in the future because there's a particular friend that I am sick of, she was absolutely clingy and extremely childish but I rather not to write more about her. Anyway, I would like to write that my most memorable days in high school was in 2012 when I got to go overseas to South Korea with my two best friends and during that year there was no conflict & annoyance among our clique and I did not do so bad in exams during the time. Lastly, I am going to miss all my teachers for sure, although I had been bored of their faces and lesson but they were just like or family members in school.

Code Lyoko
Finally, all GCSEs exams are over! However I am not used to my new schedule, being so free for the whole day and most of the time I'll be just worrying about exams results because I know I did terribly bad for science Physics and English. Anyway, in this post I am going to share about this TV show I have been watching on YouTube lately. In fact I discovered the show when I was 14 I guess but did not follow up the show ever since I discovered it. Afterwards I lost my memory of this show until this year when I saw a poster of Code Lyoko on Facebook while I was looking at the news feed.
The show gave me a great impression through its theme song, I loved the theme song, and until now I still love it. Its great music. Anyway, Code Lyoko is a originated from France.
To explain accurately what the show is about I went to look for the description from Wikipedia :
'Jeremie Belpois, a profoundly gifted and intelligent thirteen-year old boy attending boarding school at the fictional Kadic Academy, one day discovers a quantum supercomputer in an abandoned factory near his school. Upon activating it, he discovers a virtual world called Lyoko and Aelita, a young girl trapped inside it.
Afterward, unusual events begin to occur at school. Jeremie learns of X.A.N.A., an autonomous and sentient malevolent and rogue artificial intelligence/multi-agent system who also dwells within the supercomputer whose goal is to take over the real world. Jeremie soon forms a goal to materialize Aelita into the real world and stop X.A.N.A. in his tracks. With the help from Jeremie's best friends and classmates-Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia, Yumi Ishiyama, and Aelita-the group goes to Lyoko in hope to save both worlds from the sinisterly evil virtual entity. '
How cool is that? The best part about it is the jokes these characters crack in school and there's a lot to learn from watching Code Lyoko such as what a real friendship really is, about solutions to problems, about the importance of studying in school, importance of family, teamwork, and most of all, about being brave.
Let me introduce to you the characters. First of all, everyone in the gang are kind souls and they are helpful, forgiving and responsible people and have good sense of humor. The difference about them is that Jeremie ( stereotypical nerd ) is the smartest among them, he's a role model of a student, he in charge of controlling the computer while his friends are virtualized in code lyoko as well as finding solutions such as inventing new programs to combat XANA's attack.
Ulrich ( handsome ) is a cool charming guy who is excellent is PE lessons and good with swords and can utilize his skills of triangulate, super-sprint and triplicate when attacking XANA monsters and defending himself and his friends in code lyoko and knows martial arts like Yumi.
Yumi ( gothic ) is a Japanese girl who is cool & sporty, she swims and plays Frisbee. Due to her being skilled in Frisbee she is very good at handling her fan weapon which serves like a Frisbee when attacking monsters.
Odd ( cutie ) is my favorite character because he's a lot like me, he's an optimist who jokes often & he doesn't do well in school and draws during lesson time moreover, he loves food . He shares bunk room with Ulrich and he owns a dog called Kiwi, in code lyoko he is a purple cat who attacks XANA monsters with blazer arrows which are produced from his paws.
Last but not least, Aelita ( pinky ) had a father called Franz Hopper (creator of Lyoko and XANA but lost control of XANA), she reminds me of strawberry shortcake, anyway she only came to Earth when Jeremie figured out how to materialize her to bring her out of the virtual world called lyoko where she came from, she have a skill of bringing up obstacles for the XANA monsters for defence and using her mind to create bridges sort of thing for ease of transport, but shes the most vulnerable there because she cannot afford to lose any life points like the others. When others lost all their life points on code lyoko they get de-virtualised immediately, as for Aelita, she would be gone forever. Another special skill of Aelita is that shes capable of deactivating towers which XANA have activated to invade the world on Earth to create chaos and try to control over the world. Most of the time, after all the bad issues are settled, Jeremie would hit the button on his computer keyboard to allow rewinding of time so that everyone will have no idea of what happened in the case of XANA's attack, however, Aelita eventually mastered a kind of pink thunder ball power to defeat monsters on lyoko.
The last Character is William, a guy who was kicked out of his previous high school for posting love letters everywhere and entered the same school with the 4 of them, he enters the same class as Yumi. To nobody's surprise, William wants to be more than just friends, causing conflict between him and Ulrich, when both of them vie for Yumi's affections.. Later in the episodes, William's curiosity about the 4 of them sneaking out of school all the time has brought him to discover that they are the Lyoko Warriors. However he was not accepted to be part of their group due to Yumi's objection hence the 'return to the past' was launched but the Lyoko warriors' packed schedule for classes and the constant attacks of Xana put them into no other choice but to accept William in.
In doing so, Jeremy sent him to Lyoko so that he becomes immune to the 'return to the past'. However, X.A.N.A. takes advantage of William's ineptitude and uses the Scyphozoa to take control of his mind and body, effectively trapping him in Lyoko. Jeremie creates a stable polymorphic specter with William's basic memories, and a basic personality in order to prevent suspicion amongst the school. Over time, this "clone" becomes much more popular than William was, but due to his 'dumb' personality, he unknowingly causes trouble for our warriors.
I shall just write till here, and............I might consider continue watching code lyoko evolution (live version ). Thanks to 'Orangejuicexbox' a youtube user who uploads code lyoko shows, if not I would be so bored.

Template
Today I was woken up early in the morning at about 7:00AM by my mom who was asking me to prepare breakfast for her as she had to makeover and rush to work, so I sliced the cranberry bread with butter ( it was difficult as the bread was so soft ) then made a hazelnut coffee for her, and then.....came to realize that I haven't washed my hands at all. But I was so sleepy I couldn't be bothered to make another one for her and eat those unclean ones. Although I felt really guilty. Later after my mom went to work with the breakfast I made for her, I went to wash up and immediately open up my laptop to view my blog. ( old blog )
The old blog template I had was 'Simple is best' by Anshul, its artistic, colors were vibrant, for a while I thought it was the best blog template for me to make diary entries. Sadly, it has the Menu tab (link list), I figured it out how to use them but without the correct link, its useless. I made pages specifically for the Menu, but the URL of the page I published would never ever appear despite of endless trying. So I quitted and went to find for a simpler yet nice template.
Vintage, Simple, pink and cute, all kinds of templates I have searched, I couldn't find the good one, the really good ones all have the 'Menu tabs' which is really annoying me because URL of pages wouldn't generate, like what I wrote in the previous paragraph. I thereby continue to search, and guess what? I was like What the Fuck man, It took me about 4 hours straight just to find it. Then I found one called 'Chocolate' by Virginie (https://app.box.com/shared/c2mey377a4) but its HTML couldn't be downloaded and when I went to view the HTML I realized that the whole thing couldn't be copied to paste somewhere else too! It was a beautiful template yet the owner, who seemed to be so sincere about sharing it, made it protected, such that visitors of her page cannot upload her templates. It was on my nerves. BUT...thankfully, Lord have mercy I found this template, Twinkle Twinkle, its just perfect as well, no menu tabs, no complicated gadgets to figure out, just what I want, moreover I enjoy viewing the night sky!

Surprise in Library
It was my Principle of Accounts GCSE paper today in school and I have honestly did terribly because I got mixed up between Capital Owed and Capital Employed, further more my balance sheet did not balance and I couldn't accurately answer a lot of the theory questions. Ugrh what a pain. I was absolutely depressed until my best friend sort of cheered me up when we walked home together chatting about stuff.
On the way home, I thought of dropping by to a shopping mall to get my best friend her birthday gift, unfortunately, I only realized how light my wallet actually was when I reached there, however I wouldn't want my trip to be wasted so I made my way to the Public Library in the mall, I loved the library, its the most conducive place for studying. As I went there, I first made haste to the book shelves under 'Young Fiction' then noticed that majority of the book under that category are about mainstream fantasies and childish adventures with over artistic book covers which I wouldn't read at all. Next, I walked to the 'Fiction' section of bookshelves ( where adults read ) to find for the books which I can spend my holiday with, as I walked along I came across book 'One Summer Time' it caught my attention because the book, not just that its thickness is reasonable, it looked old and rusty ( shows that it has been borrowed by many people = good read ) and its 'New York Times #1 Bestseller' however, as I flipped open to the summary, I immediately sighed as the plot was about a guy was a about to die due to an illness and was spending his last few days with his family on a vacation, ironically, his wife passed away unexpectedly through a car accident. This guy then struggles hard to rebuild his family, one day he took his kids along with him to go to their mom's ( his wife's ) childhood home to spend their days. At the end, the guy experienced the fate of love, meeting a new women which would then become part of his family. How gloomy! So I put back to the shelf.
Later, I moved to the other book shelves under the same section, walked around for a few minutes constantly trying to find the perfect one for me, then I came across a book titled 'How the Light gets in' by Louis Penny, its a fiction about detectives, both title and book cover was really captivating but looked really new, it's book cover almost flawless. As I opened it and started flipping through, scanning the pages... a shadow was visible through my left peripheral vision, and then a tall figure was nearing me and then I realized that it was a tall man. To my big surprise, he approached me, as I looked up, I saw Mr Vincent, my Principle of Accounts teacher, smiling broadly ear to ear with his eyes sparklingly under the library light, wearing a plain bleach T-shirt and Bermuda shorts ( It was the first time me seeing him wearing so casually, he wore formally every time in school ). I smiled and then he asked me about how my paper was, I told him that it was ok, I didn't want to further spoil my impression in front of him and also didn't want him to be disappointed, knowing that after so long I still did not learn from my mistakes. The conversation faded really quickly because I made not much replies and was only simply smiling at him. I was a little nervous and although I had a lot to say and wished to talk more to him but I did not find the guts on the spot and ever since he approached me my brain seemed to start processing slower. How I wish I can go back to the moment when we met, he's a really charismatic, skillful and absolutely friendly and caring teacher. After our conversation faded, I went to look for another book.
And guess what? I got the book 'Changing Habbits' by Debbie Maccomber ( Is this all God's calling? This book is a really special novel to me and might change my life forever, but I won't reveal what is it about it just yet. ) . I would be sharing about it after I finish reading and share more of my secrets, linked to this particular book on the coming post! I'll write till here, cya!

Regrets
You must be wondering why I am posting today because I am still having national exams...Well I think I had enough of studying today and would like to take a break, moreover I am so excited about posting on my very new blog! Here it goes:
Time has passed and months have gone, today is already November. Everybody in this world are saying that "Time flies fast!" in every coming of the end of the year. Most of us will miss the good times we had and reminisce about the busy days we have managed through, and of course, the times and days we clearly know that we have wasted cruelly when we touch our hearts and close our eyes and reflect deeply. In this post I am going to write about my wasted days.
At the start of the year I was just swearing to the sky that I would definitely put in my best efforts and work hard for the coming national exams and I even fantasized about how my mom would be so proud of me when she see a row of A's on my report book with shimmering glitters in her eyes. I was absolutely proud. However, what I imagined was purely a delusion, an imaginary thing that would never happen at all. During the beginning of the year I was just engrossed with my computer game Adventure Guest World ( I bet many of you know what that is? It appears on advertisement banners at times, its a virtual world where chronicle events occur, a place to fight monsters and achieve good weapons and armors and level up, this game is best known for its players members get to own a huge variety of classes E.g Necromancer, Soul Cleaver, Shaman, which players can use different skills to defeat enemies, such as monsters.) where I was level 54 ( most stupid and harmful game EVER -I was hacked there because I was naïve enough and I was so unwise and idiotic that I've spent hundreds of dollar on the game ) and from that stupid game I came to know a stupid guy, called Nathan, one year younger than me, who I thought was my prince charming and dated him for a long time ( I wouldn't say how long...but to me, was like ages) (I was so happy that I was mentally planning to visit him someday ). He's from Texas and I fell for him because of his friendliness and "innocence" .Thanks to him I wasted ample of time trying to know him better and I even tried to help him with his schoolwork, he then repaid me my kindness by dating and flirting with another girl from France who is younger than him on the game after I was hacked ( the girl he flirted stalked my FB and told me everything, and she even told me he wanted to kiss her everywhere < makes me puke ) Of course I dumped him ( to also fulfill that girl's wish) .This guy was part of the reason, and also the game, the reasons I wasted my time leading to me not able to focus on my studies.
Next, the game called Meez, another virtual world where players can customize rooms and their characters and make new friends, this game is slightly better that the previous one as I spent lesser money on it and I haven't got any heartbreaks from any dates on this game. I came to Meez to widen my social circle and chat with people (However, I didn't know that actually chatting with strangers is the best way to make me feel down ) Conversations there were meaningless and would obviously be forgotten the next day. Also, this game is full of rude and immature punks who would engulf my brain cells with negative thoughts and influence me in becoming a failure like them and in the game users are allowed to play their own music ( this is where the worst part comes in, people there play crappy music like metals) . However this game is good due to its 3D graphics and animations + background display. I wouldn't go back there again though! Same goes to Kik, a chatting app where countless perverts and crazy people would threaten people. ( I wouldn't want to talk more about Kik, makes me sick )
Moving on, the next huge mistake I made is the constant searching for motivation. I was so crazy over my future, I went to find for many career quizzes, personality tests for suitable career and also went to YouTube to search for motivating videos, talks and looked for inspiring posters. I overdone it, spending so much time trying to motivate myself that I lost all the time I had which could be better spent on my school revision. But Emma Watson ( I learnt about her through research ) is still my inspiration ever since I came to know that she did really well for all her ten subjects for GCSE and that she achieved 3 As for her A level and recently got graduated from Brown University. Despite of her hectic schedule as a movie actress, she juggled her work and studies well, she even made room for exercising in her timetable. But finding all that motivations only lifted my spirit for studying but didn't improve my grades. It was as good at wasting time. I should have been STUDYING.
Lastly, one of my biggest regrets is to have studied at home throughout my whole life until this month. To me, home is the most comfortable and distracting place ever. Home should never be an option for me to study, even with my smartphones and TV remote controls all hidden, being a creative person, I would still get distracted, I would look at the mirror to spot my acnes, look over my window to stalk my neighbors, go to the kitchen to find food or even go to the sofa and take a long nap. I would say that public library or a quiet air conditioned café is the best place to study. In that environment, I get to focus better because I know there are many serious working people around me who are also studying in the same room and that I have to behave properly in the public, so I would be most productive. But 10 months have passed and to be honest, I have never scored really well before in any of my preliminary exams paper in school, while all my classmates did... ..now its all too late. I wonder if the invention of rewinding time machine in science fiction films would ever become possible in real life....But I would be one of the most selfish person in the world if I wish it existed though.
I shall write till here, I haven't actually shower yet and its passed bedtime already! Will post again soon! :)

Also, this game is full of rude and immature punks who would engulf my brain cells with negative thoughts and influence me in becoming a failure like them and in the game users are allowed to play their own music ( this is where the worst part comes in, people there play crappy music like metals) . However this game is good due to its 3D graphics and animations + background display. I wouldn't go back there again though! Same goes to Kik, a chatting app where countless perverts and crazy people would threaten people. ( I wouldn't want to talk more about Kik, makes me sick )
Moving on, the next huge mistake I made is the constant searching for motivation. I was so crazy over my future, I went to find for many career quizzes, personality tests for suitable career and also went to YouTube to search for motivating videos, talks and looked for inspiring posters. I overdone it, spending so much time trying to motivate myself that I lost all the time I had which could be better spent on my school revision. But Emma Watson ( I learnt about her through research ) is still my inspiration ever since I came to know that she did really well for all her ten subjects for GCSE and that she achieved 3 As for her A level and recently got graduated from Brown University. Despite of her hectic schedule as a movie actress, she juggled her work and studies well, she even made room for exercising in her timetable. But finding all that motivations only lifted my spirit for studying but didn't improve my grades. It was as good at wasting time. I should have been STUDYING.
Lastly, one of my biggest regrets is to have studied at home throughout my whole life until this month. To me, home is the most comfortable and distracting place ever. Home should never be an option for me to study, even with my smartphones and TV remote controls all hidden, being a creative person, I would still get distracted, I would look at the mirror to spot my acnes, look over my window to stalk my neighbors, go to the kitchen to find food or even go to the sofa and take a long nap. I would say that public library or a quiet air conditioned café is the best place to study. In that environment, I get to focus better because I know there are many serious working people around me who are also studying in the same room and that I have to behave properly in the public, so I would be most productive. But 10 months have passed and to be honest, I have never scored really well before in any of my preliminary exams paper in school, while all my classmates did... ..now its all too late. I wonder if the invention of rewinding time machine in science fiction films would ever become possible in real life....But I would be one of the most selfish person in the world if I wish it existed though.
I shall write till here, I haven't actually shower yet and its passed bedtime already! Will post again soon! :)
